Forget this man, I'm out
This air I breath tastes like grout
Pass me the water spout

Thairentacar are doing a decent deal right now, check them out.

Are 90 day reports back at the airport location or still at Promenada?

Your only option is to do a border run unless you are the spouse or parent of a Thai in which case you could get a 60 day extension.

I'm in a similar situation, however I will be going to Mae Sai tomorrow, but would like to know more about how to get the 60 day extension as I'm married to a Thai. What does it involve?

'Textbooks attempt to present a comprehensive portrayal of a subject matter.'

Textbooks present history as unchanging, as time passes our understanding and interpretation of the past evolves.
Often one-sided, offering a top-down view of the subject.
They don’t accurately reflect how most scholars (at least good ones) write and present history.
Textbooks are boring and can sometimes be intimidating.

The Internet has supplanted the textbook as the best resource for information. There is a lot of junk out there but we have to learn how to decide what is valuable, factual, and readily available, and how to in turn utilize that information to provide a finished product that attains our objective

As learners, we can engage the vast information already at our fingertips to obtain knowledge. Should we still use textbooks?

How about a t0rrent site to download the books, you could print any relevant chapters etc?

You've missed the boat Twinkie.

Summer school has been and gone, schools have already started back to their regular programs.

Here are the coordinates from Google Maps. 18.804796,98.984487

I did enjoy reading about your experiences as you ease into your new life here.

It's usually good to get a fresh perspective, reminds me of why I originally choose this destination.

Just something though, sex and drugs occur everywhere so let's not get caught up in labelling areas were not accustomed to.

All in all a great wee introduction. Thanks.

First off, why are you walking about when you've experienced a foot injury.

If your looking for a walk in clinic, then best not walk in and out of different clinics,

be they walk in or not.

By the sounds of it most of your injuries will be acerbated by your constant walking in and out of foot clinics.

Get a chair, with wheels and then wheel freely into the walk in clinics that you've been walking into.

I read some pages of that script. It's about the most idiotic and unrealistic concept you can imagine in Thailand. Thai people don't act that way. It was clearly written by someone who needed a stock "3rd world country" and doesn't know sh*t about this country, its people or culture.

Just another movie to ensure most Americans are too terrified to ever travel outside its borders.

From what I've seen, the set locations that were used, e.g. shop fronts, were dressed up with Burmese language script.

I suppose that would be the 'third world country' location they were going for.

And from the fat food chains mentioned in the pdf, which are available in Chiang Mai? One I think!

What's the point of this post?

Being of exemplary platitudes, politeness, and culture, and that I don’t want to make an enormous spectacle out of this topic, I have limited it down to n of the easier level, for people around to read.

Anyway, I’ve been consumed by a fiery passion since last week, I used to play pool on a regular basis, 4 x 5 times per week. If I’m lucky I’ll now get twice per fortnight.

So, anyway I’ve been trying to improve my game again.Last night I played a couple of Japanese guys and they were very good. This slightly confused me, because the last time I played any northern Asian peoples, they were all crap at pool (generally).

My question follows… is the idea of trying to play pool in a bar to dominate others about to be dominated by our Asian cousins dominating the pool bars?

INB4 this is an examination of intellect.

Aye ‘right!

Do you like to play pool in Chiang Mai bars???

When I think cottage cheese I think of my grandmother who would greet me, growing up, with an offer of potted hough (she stocked that stuff like it came from the fountain of youth) and cottage cheese.

Potted Hough... I think I'm gonnae boak just think about that stuff

Oh, c'mon fella not at all.

A nice wee tub wi the jelly fat oan top and you just spread it on top of your toast, dee.licious.. LOL

I was in a translators office yesterday.

Located at 136 Chotana Road, across from the City Hall building and about 150 meters down from the women's prison, on the same side.

One side of A4 translated from English to Thai in about 30 minutes, cost 400 baht.

When I think “cottage cheese” I think of my grandmother who would greet me, growing up, with an offer of potted hough (she stocked that stuff like it came from the fountain of youth) and cottage cheese. The texture of cottage cheese is different. Somehow, though, I’ve been thinking about cottage cheese lately. Is that just a grandma thing? Has yogurt displaced it? Are there any young people who eat cottage cheese? If so, are you one of them? Please tell me more in the comments.

I don't usually poke my head in where it doesn't belong, but this story made me extend towards my keyboard to and drop this experience on your laps.

Last weekend, Friday night, I recognized this exact same behavior. Two young English <deleted> tourists were having a jolly old time displaying their cocks to the staff/management of the bar. They had a little game of it going as they went back and forth from the WC.

These lads, having been in Thailand for no less than 2 days, I had spoken to them less than 10 mins before, didn’t seem to have any actual comprehension/cultural awareness of their actions, or seemed to care of the cultural insult.

If only it was seen by the girls male Thai friends. Oh, how I would have laughed!

P.S. This cultural ignorance stemming from the new set traveler's is quiet disturbing.

Rant over...

If you haven't tried Beer Lao Dark, now is the time my friend.

It's a really good, distinctive taste.

Much to my approval..!

There was a poster previously regaling his experiences of this exact situation you've described.

I'm unable to recall the thread however, sorry.

Although I'll bet that it's not going to be an uncommon phenomenon experienced in these here parts.

Here it is,

Rancid dried squid!

Pla muuk is the perfect beer bar nibble!

There is a small vendor selling strawberry wine, mixed berry wine and various other fruit flavored spirits located in Thanin market.

The best way I could describe the location is if your coming in from the Chang Phueak gate, turn left into the market, go past the food market on your right, head towards the canteen area on the right behind the food market, the small shop is on the left, opposite the canteen area.

The shop is roughly where the iron gate is, in the Google map.

Chicken Tikka Marsala is not a curry.

Perhaps you meant Chicken Tikka Masala?
