  1. Done it a couple of times. The issue is when you go to sleep go to sleep with no interruptions. No loud music no one asking questions. Did 72 hours once and ended up sleep walking in the bush. Did a 48 in Pakistan for vip visit was useless for 4 days.
  2. The average salary for public schools: $1,000-$1,200 More than I thought they were LAST i HEARD THEY WERE UNDER PAID. The problem though with that number is the average part. Would like to see that number if you take the big cities out of he picture. Also a lot of the teachers that are still teaching were teaching when people were still using pencils and paper. LOL
  3. ???? I used to get <deleted> then realized that it is lack of comfort talking English. Try walking through the mall and watch them approach your gf. Mine has realized that when she is with me they leave her alone ???? Is there anything you can do about it. I just give her the money to pay then hold out my hand to her for change.
  4. As retired service members I am also interested when a brother falls. I am confused why it would be forward to immigration. Would this not be a military matter therefore under military police or are they that bad
  5. Notice that he did not mention doing the Thai thing when coments are made. Nothing mentioned about lese majeste or slander
  6. Anyone admitted that may need blood is tested so that they can have the blood on hand. Thai hospitals especially the top tier do that immediately if for not other reason than to bill it.
  7. This is from a UK provider website notice the wording up to Up to £10 million for emergency medical expenses outside the UK: Emergency medical treatment Dental treatment for emergency pain relief Emergency medical repatriation to the UK The challenge is what is covered and how much. I am sure they do not have the top plan I am also sure that UK insurers and Travel agents are getting tired of these articles showing up in the newspaper.
  8. Could also cost the taxpayer billions. Imagine if you did not have to wait for surgery at the NHS and could just pop down to Bangkok and get the surgery.
  9. That is the biggest issue, and a lot of tourists do not understand it. I use BNH and while my VAC covers most of my treatment, is does not fully cover meds as they only reimburse Ontario rates. My medical coverage, not VAC covered, is an issue as there are cost limitations as well as things they will not cover. Other nurse services are one of them In Canada there is no such charge, so they do not reimburse it even though we all know that the charge is included in the doctor's actual fee. Question 1 Pardon my ignorance BUT is med evac flights covered in these plans and if so is there not usually a max amount. Question 2 Would it not be cheaper if covered to get the surgery done here instead of trying to fly back and then get the UK Government to pay.
  10. Was decent before the sky train lol. 5k a month for a 3 bdrm garden home. Quiet no loud noise; No pollution and friendly Thais
  11. Is this not also the area where the Chinese have caused the police so much trouble and been replaced? With all the stuff that is happening, anyone in BKK that opens a bar now and flouts the law is plain stupid and asking for trouble. RTP that used to accept envelopes, i can assure you are probably very cautious with BIG JOKE and others looking for them. The owners can still be arrested and fined as they are the owners and it is their responsibility.
  12. With the number of Brits lately that are getting hurt might as well call it the bkk shuttle with weekly flights. Actually if you had seats for others you might make a few quid.
  13. Considering the number of sites and the quality of workers I am surprised
  14. The other alternative if you like quiet is move out to Pathum Thani rents here are 6k a month al in. Close to BTS so you can transit back and forth to BKK at will. LIfe is quiet but friendly. It would help to know where your job is located as that usually determines where someone lives. I also know of places around 5k in Wongwian area
  15. God is not a Christian belief. Ifd you really study religion you will find that God has many names to many people The biggest misconception is that Muslims and Christians have different beliefs. If yo study the Quran you can see that a lot of what is said is in some way the same as the bible. Ramadan is a month of fasting and giving up vices in Christianity we call this Lent. Judaism also believes in God. There is the fallacy of a divine creation and that we come from something in outer space or that we evolved from the apes. The christian question then is who created the apes who created the land. If you say it was created in space then who created space. All to say that someone or something did something. Do I think there was a Jesus and Muhammad yes until someone can prove to me that there was not there is just too much imperical evidence that there was someone that upset the romans.
  16. Yes went to a different bar and got told the same thing. lol???? Even tried different locations same result LOL
  17. I changed my mind when I came here. I thought I was old cranky man with balding hair. Now I changed mind after enough experts an reliable sources told me I was nice smart generous and very handsum man
  18. There were a lot of nay-sayers on here that thought he would cover it up. While I think that he is in no hurry to be National Chief, he is the national police chief to the people. He is the one that they trust. If we remember one of the areas that he tried to clean up and reorg was in fact Chang Mai due to the <deleted> service that it gave. Long time members that live there may be able to shed light. His removal just as he was starting to get up to sped and make a difference may have been orchestrated by those at those locations. Remember he was removed from hs post which usually means that he has been accused of doing wrong. He was found not guilty and put back on the street. I am sure a lot of people in the CM issan area have been walking on egg shells ever since and now he has been able to get his revenge.
  19. Thailand is the world champion for being hypocrites. We want to be seen as a a conservative culture but we make our money with sex trade. We tout Pattaya and Phuket as great holiday locations. We don't educate our children. We have westernized our lifestyle. Hey to each their own if a doll makes him happy then so be it he isn't hurting anyone
  20. The water throwing has not been huge since the start of the century. I was here in 97 and yeah there were the kids but khaosan and silom we're almost empty. It is more a tourist and young people. Tourists don't come for traditional songkran they come for the water fight.
  21. If they split she will get more than 50%>. He will lose everything and end up paying her support. Let's face it he will have a hard time getting a court that will sympathy with him. The reason he hasn't divorced or left her is he knows he would be screwed.
  22. These words he speaks are true, we're all humanary stew if,we don't pledge allegiance to the _________.the horror that he brings, the horror of his sting,the unholiest of men, the __________.our minds will be his toy,and every girl and boy will learn to be employed by the __________ No thai media outlet is going to say his name for fear of lawsuit. I have a feeling that the longer this goes on the worse it is going to get for the PPP, PT and other parties. Chuwit is opening the boxes slowly so that the media and the people can deal with them one at at time. This is not going to make many people feel good as they do not know who he is going to hit next. The big question though is how much is this going to affect the non bkk PT CM crowds.
  23. The challenge or question is what political parties is he going to ruin. The conspiracy nut in me wonders if a certain man not living in the country is involved.
  24. Location location location It was too far out of the way. There was nothing there to attract people an it was not easy to get to.
