Lampshade;

Stairway to Heaven is a classic. that is all;

See you Saturday - like others I have a hankering for #2.

With all the rain in Bangkok at the mo, could this be the transport of the future?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I doubt it

Its stopped raining in the "Devils Playground" (nana-nua) to get out and eat.

What makes me laugh about those things in the picture - the promo girls ride them around like they have just had bowel surgery.

Whats more funny is to "accidently" drop something in front of those toys that block Sukhumvit, and watch them come off

This link may help I found it on ThaiVisa a while ago trying to answer the question myself

=tax]Thai Tax Rates

Doesn't mean your employer will deduct te correct amount though

Ah, ok.

This was an open invitation to all members with webcams located in Thailand. We can host a few of them on our server. PM me if interested.

What software are you using for the FTP uploads, mgnewman?

How far do I have to run the USB cable to get from Soi 4 ?

In some ways its all too easy, once you have work, the rest of life is like a constant semi-retirement.

Not bad for being 35

Ken  was  it  yourself  who  said  you  can  get  a  work  permit  now  on  the  strength  of  an  "O"  visa?......

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

You sure can. My cousin has one. Got the Non-O, then got the WP. I have seen it with my own eyes.

A little bird told me that it was a version of IBM's O/S400 being run on it. Silimar to whats on the I-Series.

So the X-Box is Unix and PS/3 is OS/400.

Just what I heard on the grape-vine

Where I used to live was great Suk 24 in the big towers. Still about 65k a month. Shame I am in Surathani now

If I sort of want to stay down and mellow then "Time" by Pink Floyd

If I want to come back up - One Way by Blondie

whats the name of the cd.....like to see it!

So would I, if only for the background scenery around Saraburi

Not being qualified to teach English, I marvel at the command of the English language the "Concerned Father" has.

I know my Grammar goes back to High school, but the only mistake I could see was he started a sentance with "And".

Maybe the "Concerned Father" is a native speaker ?

Or am i being far far too cynical ?

The shooting of the film took place in Saraburi

Nice place to shoot a movie, lots of nice scenery - It would make a nice back - drop.

Better than the inside of a cheap Hotel or other places.

Such a shame they can't get the same punishment in Australia, they would have had here.....

Well, I am off on holidays soon, the grinding wheels of the factory are slowing, my internet bill is growing

Well, while you go and escape - some of us are working.

I admit I am jealous, but I do have your wife's phone number

Her cousin told me last night - looking forward to seeeing you in a few weeks at the big shin-dig !!!

Thanks for your response, but the problem I have is there doesn't seem to be a clear political agenda, even on their website.

Its almost like a "Blue - Sky" statement " we want to be seperate, thats it.

It reminds me of a "Miss World" pagent, but in reverse - "I want world peace"

No actual plan, milestones or objectives on how this can be achieved.

Or am I off the mark ?

The problem is they are changeable. The Last bus in some periods of the year may actually leave at 10:00 but at other times because of traffic etc, won't leave until 1:00am. Its really hard to pick.

If you are going to Chaing Mai for New Year, try to beek your ticket as soon as possible.

Hi;

I hope I am posting this in the correct place, But I think Phuket is as near as any of the forums to where I live.

I know I am new to this so I will try to make this interesting - there are many interesting things here.

I live in Surat Thani. Of course there is "unrest" here, of sorts.

I would really like someone to point me in the correct direction, or tell me, what are the actual claims of those causing the unrest?

When a militant organization has claims, and are willing to kill for them, somehow formally their claims are clearly stated. Normally like other organizations people can come and negotiate something that is satisfactory for everyone.

All I ever hear, and I ask people, it, "they want to be seperate". Even that is not well articulated.

It doesn't even seem like they have a clear leadership or structure to say what they are and do.

Or have I just totally missed the forest for the trees ?

Anyone I am interested in other people's opinions.

Thanks

Hello Thai Visa Forum, I will start my first post here

Nobody forces to apply for a card and nobody forces to buy anything.

Thats not entirely true.

There are many cases of "unsolicited credit" where a credit provider will give consumer credit as an offer or promotion.

What is very common in Australia and the UK, is the "credit binge", where someone is sent an offer in the post, and all you have to do is sign it and send it back.

I was in this case 10 years ago when my wife and I got this offer from a Bank in the UK, signed it, sent it back, and we got a credit card with a 25,000 pound credit limit. Now I know they never checked to see who I worked for, or any assets. Now I had a job that I could support that level of personal gearing, but, they had no idea, who I really worked for, or what I was paid, particularly since the company I worked for, my family owned and they weren't customers of the bank.

There are many other companies doing the same thing.

Now, In Australia when they launched "Bankcard", which is now nearly defunct, the banks sent these credit cards to almost anyone who fitted the customer profile. Didn't matter if the ages and occupations were wrong. They just wanted consumers with their bankcards in their hands.

So of course no one "forces" you to have credit, they just pressure you alot.

So whose fault is it really, the consumer, who doesn't have a huge amount of will-power of the credit provider who knows 10 - 15 % of their loans book will be bad within 2 years.

What do you think ?
