  1. You can have someone report on your behalf the only time you have to go in person is when you have to renew your yearly application of extension. When it comes to the 90 day reporting I take both my wife's and my passport , it can take between 5 minutes to 3 hours depends on the immigration officer and how many times he is going to step out of the office for a smoke last time I did it I sat there for over two hours .

    Seriously? Can I give the task of 90 day reporting for my wife? no need to go in person for 90 day reporting? biggrin.png

  2. Oh Lord! This is totally insane. The religion nowadays is so cheat! If you did an one million in donations then you are most welcome otherwise you are just another one struggling for survive. Just my opinion, do not follow the mass, it is null, void. Religion nowadays is guiding people to nowhere. So sorry! sad.png

  3. Is a good idea to own a Volvo car in Thailand? What about car service, parts, etc.. ? I have an particular interest in the models V40 and V70, but I am a bit afraid about service and parts prices in Thailand.
    Since I have been observing the market and I found lots of volvo for sale in Thailand, and I asked myself and others, why so cheap such a good quality car?

    Thanks for any insight! wai.gif

  4. Anybody here working with automated humidity control, Hygrostat that switches a pump to spray water from under the roof?

    I have a plan to start a project of automated humidity and temperature control around december 2014 in nakhon sawan area, in my project I will use arduino microcontroller and sensors. we can create a topic here only about this stuffs and share our knowledge. would be nice! wink.png

  5. I could never call just 1 my favourite, variety is the spice of life.

    Ever been to a proper village cheese counter in France and had a few chunks with some crusty bread and a glass of good Bordeaux.

    Simple but perfectly prepared pasta in a back street cafe in Milan,

    Sashimi from a breakfast bar in tsukiji market in tokyo

    Steak and ale pie with thick mash or big cut chips, gravy with a proper pint of cask bitter

    Slap up Indian curry

    Your mums roast dinner..

    Thai food is great but on the whole most of it is junk food, but then again most bites we eat out are not usually the healthiest options. Home cooked balanced thai food with fresh veg and a limit on fried items and salt / sugar / msg certainly can be achieved and is wonderful.

    But who wants to eat the same thing every day? We will hear mixed responses from teachers living on a shoe string who have no choice but to eat thai food on a daily basis and claim it to be the be-all-end-all, as well as the shoe string retirees, compared with those not based in Thailand or those expats in LOS with the baht and access to eat a varied and a higher end level of food from fine dining establishments.

    But if I had to pick an overall favourite, something I look forward to the most I guess it would have to be a slap up Indian (North Indian curries).

    If I had to pick something i would need to stick to for the rest of my life for whatever reason (such as a poor thai person having no choice) it would be one of the Mediterranean regions, for health and taste and balance. Couldn't put my finger on which one though, Turkish, Spanish, Italian, Lebanese ? Can't pick

    Thai food takes lot of herbs, it is not junk. Just do not eat street food! Find the right place to eat, it is the same for any cuisine.. I remember me sausages from germany, 2 days in the toilet.. 5 kg loss.. I will never eat again that kind of junk again.. (but of course I ate the wrong sausage at the wrong place - streets! )

    p.s. Not everything in the streets are junk, but most of them.

    Conjealed blood

    Thanks for the information

    Why on earth would anyone like to eat conjealed blood?

    Unless you are a vampire

    The soup also had small boiled egg in it, please dont tell me it was a pigeon egg?

    Because it is delicious, if well prepared of course. I will never ever eat this from the streets! Only if I prepare myself one. Do you like to eat cattle liver, prepared just like a beef? if so, it taste the same! biggrin.png

  7. I read an article once malaysia and thailands cuisines were compared as being the same

    The article claimed thailand copied malaysian dishes and credited malaysia as being the originators of that cooking style.

    That I doubt very much. There are few, if any similarities and of all the SE Asian countries I rate Malaysia as having the worst food.

    "Yeah not much like Thai. But have you tried char kway teow? Murtabak? (Indian Malay) Some Malaysian hawker food is delicious too.

    Best SE Asian cuisine - Thai

    Worst cuisine - Philippines

    Best dishes - Murtabak, pho bo & som tam (haa met) khao niao gai yang"

    Malaysia has one great dish, I do not remenber the name, but it takes chicken with yellow indian curry, bamboo shoots, and basil leaves on top, woooow it is so delicious, balanced (not to much spice), just a great dish! I miss food from North Malaysia.. Unique!

  8. Anything from western taste is so normal, eastern play hard with flavors, that is my favorite! I love Thai food, Indian food, Chinese Food (infinite options), Korean are good specially soups in the cool season, those cuisines are the best in the world in my opinion. They use a lot of herbs, it is amazing and healthfully. Of course I'm not talking about junk food on the streets. But I still love lasagna. LOL. thumbsup.gif

  9. I;m sure they are w order them about two months ahead of time. It's usually three weeks before they get real active. But from a suggestion here we stage the orders to try for a fairly constant production.

    Ive kept good records so I know when I should be thinking about ordering again. The current price we are getting is 7 baht. As small as we are I don't think we could do much better making our own bags.

    Col has really been a lot of help explaining things to my Thai Brother in law. He works part time and has his own business as well. If we make the bags that will double our labor costs. I don't believe we are big enough for that, nor am I sure that market will support that.

    That could change as after this year I will be expanding more, if things go as expected this year.

    Very usefull information. Thanks! wai.gif

  10. New rule: in order to apply for a work permit one needs a NON-O or Non-B visa. Check the immigration website.

    Why would immigration have info about work permits on their website, They don't do them.

    You can apply for a work permit with a tourist visa but it will not be issued until you have a non immigrant visa.

    Well said. I applyed for a work permit in 2008, but I had a problem about my visa Type. Then I just change my visa to a Non-B (I did it outside Thailand in Taiwan's consulate in Taipei) and after that everything was just fine and I got my work permit in Thailand. I'm not quite sure if you can do all the procedures inside Thailand as a tourist with tourist visa type. Then better you call your employer and ask this questions to then, in my situation it was all arraged by them, I went to the thai consulate to provide a letter of employment and my papers, was really simple and no hassles.
