  1. There is no such thing as democracy in the world. Every country is controlled by an elite group that controls either through corruption or control of the military every country.
  2. I am always amazed. Last night, even though there was no booze being sold, there were about 30 girls waiting to get in before it opened. What is the difference for guys and gals that attracts people there?
  3. You are not going to find cheap, good accommodations at that price. You need to ask why you need accommodations right there with BTS. You can live anywhere along the line. Khu Kot has 10K up the hoop, but you must be willing to sit on the BTS. Look at Thonburi Khu Kot bang sue areas close to the BTS.
  4. I have a feeling that is probably what happened. I have a feeling he was not a good farang
  5. I assume someone knows who her BF was, really. Swiss police should be able to gethis name from the manifest
  6. Next cabinet meeting they should use this rice for dinner. Are they really serious about this anyone tht i ask if they would buy or use 10 yer od rice Laughesd at me LOL
  7. Now I am scared I was thinking the same thing about TS First, before anything can happen, they need to have streets that formula cars can race on. Next, they would have to hope that someone would drop out and a European country with high viewers would be interested. This guy is using these excuses so that he can holiday and enjoy the great life on the Thai people baht Going to be interesting to see what happens to him in a couple of days.
  8. you knew eventually, Thaksin would get his daughter in place. Consider this: by the time it gets sorted out, Thaksin should have HIS senate in place. Then he will have the stability and not have to worry about anything he proposes getting vetoed in the senate. The question is how long the military will wait. I am sensing tht if MFP gets done like they want, the PTP gets another Shin as leader ( could be hard with the other parties not being in love with her or him. Then, the military will shut down the treaty they have, remove their support, and put the country into another election before MFP can get established.
  9. How many people actually live in London or the big cities compared to how many live outside the cities? I agree that prices in BKK are ridiculous now, but that is why people are moving out of the city to other provinces, like here in Pathum Thani. Rent is cheap 6000 incl hydro Thais can buy a house for 2 million or get a new house for 5 million. food is good as well as services and bkk is only 60 baht and 1 hour away
  10. If you go to NANA you will see that they no longer sell vapes or liquids outright. They have pictures, and you can choose if they think you are not police, they can then get it for you. Something along the lines of what movies and software used to be.
  11. I use the same motor taxi outside my condo tip 10 and they always seem to watch. Also use the same groups of taxis and tip them always get great service and have had them no charge a couple of times
  12. Consider how hard it is to control gangs in supposedly countries with educated and better paid and equipped police forces
  13. Thanks, but this is for a Master can still use some of the ideas from it, though.
  14. The SOP, from what I gather, is in lieu of the university having to interview everyone.
  15. Thanks. Knowing that TIT and Thai universities do things differently, I was hoping someone had done one already so I could get an idea of what they were looking for.
  16. Single woman mmmm, I think I know the solution just ask the wife for permission first
  17. What they are looking for is why you chose this program and what you have done in to prepare for the course.
  18. Unfortunately, the robotics and engineering courses at Kmitl and a lot of schools now require it.
  19. Manners and what we were taught as kids have long gone with corporal punishment and parents being responsible. SORRY. This is ot just a Thai problem but a problem in almost every country.
  20. sorry missed your post, Petchaburi
  21. Most teachers on here will know the ACRONYMS BUT HERE THEY ARE. KMITL King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang CMKL Carnegie Melon king Monghut Instistued or Technology SOP Statement of Purpose
  22. Hi , I hope some of you out there can help me and a student. He is in Mat 6 and getting ready to apply at KMITL CMKL. Part of the package he needs is an SOP. I have tried surfing and only found them for PhD and master's. Has anyone out there helped a student put one together? He and his parents have asked me to help him, and I am attempting to do so based on my project and business SOP but again TIT, so I want to make sure. Also, can anyone tell me about the Duolingo English Test and how it compares to IELTS?

  24. Ther is a huge difference between an observed and a holiday. Valentines and Halloween are observed as special days, but nowhere in the world are they holidays. Also, days off in lieu of a holiday are just that, days off, not an actual holiday. As stated, there are quite a few holidays, but unless you are the government, you will not get Mondays off. NYE is not a holiday int he true sense, but in order to attract tourism and Xmas holidays, they make it a large party but most Thais still have to work at least part of the day, same as in most western countries
