If you don't deal with it OP .... you will live a life of misery. You obviously prefer living in Thailand over your own country, so why not use that to fuel your happiness and not bang on about the negatives. A few months ago I was stopped by a policeman on my bike outside Central in Pattaya Second Road. I had my young son on the bike with me, who is half Thai. I showed my licence, which is not a Thai licence and actually not correct. When the policeman saw my son was half Thai he started talking to him about football. I was not fined. The NEXT day I got stopped by the same policeman. Showed him my licence .... bla bla bla .... 400 baht fine in police station. I showed him photo of my son, tried to remind him of happy conversation the day before .... no recognition whatsoever. Welcome to Thailand .... enjoy.

Here's my question again:
Does anyone else thinking about beginning a new life in Thailand?
If YES -> Please send me an email or contact me here.
Do you have any idea about how to live there, I mean which job we could apply to OR even BETTER: Are you interested in making some own business in Thailand? IDEAS!!
Looking forward hearing from other ones who also want to move there
Does anyone else .....
If the potential English teachers cannot write English correctly, what chance have their students got ?? Sad fact about some of the English teachers working in LOS, who do it not for the love of teaching, but as a way of enabling them to remain in Thailand. It should be English people only teaching English .... if a German wants to teach, let them teach German or something they can teach correctly.

You should have loads of time ....
If you hit the stand at 8.00 .... allow 30 minutes to walk to Immigration .... 8.30
Allow 30 minutes to clear immigration .... 9.00
Allow 30 minutes to get your luggage 9.30
It takes 5 minutes to walk to taxi level .... lets give you 15 minutes .... 9.45
Allow 1 hour to get to Don Mueng ..... 10.45 ..... giving you 2 hours by my very conservative estimate.
You therefore have plenty of time and no stress. If this was me, I would look for earlier flight !!
My record from plane to hotel in Lower Sukhumvit, stands at 52 minutes. Before I get flamed, this was a unique set of events .... First Class meaning buggy to Immigration. No queue at immigration, bag first off belt, no queue at taxi and minimum traffic with racing driver taxi. My usual time is between 1hr 15 minutes and 1hr 30 minutes from plane to City Centre.
Brit found dead in Pattaya
in Pattaya News

Cup O Cofffee - your post is incredibly stupid and insensitive.
My father passed away in similar circumstances a few years back. He was in Bangkok staying in a decent hotel on Sukhumvit. I was living there at the time and we had arranged to meet for dinner at about 6pm. I phoned him at 4pm to see how he was and make arrangements for dinner. The girl on reception was really odd and told me to wait. I knew something was up immediately. I was put through to one of the managers who told me to come to the hotel. I bombed it to the hotel in a panic and on reporting to reception several staff came out, led me to a room behind reception, sat me down and informed me that my father had been found dead in his room earlier in the afternoon.
The scene has haunted me for years. However, he had an autopsy and I was told that he basically had some sort of heart attack. I sensitively asked reception if he had has a guest with him, and they categorically said no. His movements had been traced through their CCTV and they gave me details of his day, ie. pool, lunch, tea them up to room for rest. He had the heart attack whilst getting into the shower. He was 75 years of age, but in good health and had never had heart problems.
Why am I sick at your post ? Well, it has been a comfort to me, that he died happy, in a place he loved (he had been on at me to take him to Thailand for years). I am comforted that he didn't have a lady in the room who may have drugged him, and comforted that he wasn't attacked and robbed by a ladyboy whilst walking along. His money, jewellery etc, were all intact. It played on my mind if there was foul play, but hotel, police, hospital all 100% positive that he died from heart attack. So, it was a comfort that I could have some sort of closure.
If foul play had been involved, it would hurt, it would frustrate and it would take longer to get over. So reading idiotic drivel such as your post has brought back some not so nice thoughts. Next time you post, try engaging your brain if you have one, and think what you are talking about.
RIP.
