not the thai holy basil (bai grapao) or the anise basil (bai horapaa) but the italian/farang style basil?

Just wondering if there was an update to this, if these are being sold in town here? If not Greenside is your party still selling them and accessories? If So shall PM you.

butter, marmite, cheddar cheese (or even a blue) on top back then under the grill. was going to make some crumpets today myself, might try these instead.

Anywhere in Thailand that sells these protectors? I have seen on ebay from overseas, but want to try to source locally ideally.

your not looking very hard are you ?

Been to the bike market on Sundays ?

where are the bike sunday markets?

+1 for jungle flight instead of the gibbon

very helpful, courteous staff, great day out, as mentioned above small walks between some stages, but they accommodate people of all levels, and you have time to catch up with the others whilst they are waiting to go down the zips. safety seems to be of high importance to them, hope they keep it up.

i'd say check with your vet. doctors would be familiar with that kind of paw protection.

:jap:

sorry to see that your perfectly reasonable question invoked a flood of idiotic drivel. then again, it is flood season.

This thread is a piss take? Must be. Canis lupus familiaris has been around for about 15,000 descended from Canis lupus much older.

During that time they have evolved feet to cope with all terrains.

yea yea yea, and we used to live in caves hunting badgers with pointy sticks, (us with the sticks not the badgers )

cope with all terrains? you tell him that. i got the new breed of dog Canus lupus spolio familiaris

aha, i see these are the Nike air pump max T-bone versions.. yes very nice, although not sure that they will withstand the rigors of use that my woofer will put them through, shall probably just mail order the other ones poor mate has swollen pads today and not keen on putting the weight on them, ice pack time.

my mutt is a bit of an offroad sort, but it canes his paws. anyone know of anywhere to buy the above in chiang mai/thailand? or indeed something similar but preferably not thai quality.

dog boots

a great day for Thailand, long overdue.

now its time to get the original perpetrators of the airport hijacking from all those years ago... seems that was all too easily forgotten.

instacure number 1

got mine delivered for a little extra with some other bits n pieces, worth it rather than gambling with localled sourced stuff. have made great hams, bacons etc etc get a lot more meat for your baht compared to buying from local curers/shops/suppliers, and slightly more satisfying as well!

made nearly 3 kilos of bacon for about 300 THB

a great book on curing

+1 asked to leave as well

+1 my friend who joined at same time

reason given to my friend was breathing too hard and too big for the running machine

reason given for me was "this gym is not for you" good enough as reason as any i guess?!

TIT...

... no really he was a TIT!

The intent of the online working is important in this story and it goes for all online work. it is a non-Thai, staying in Thailand, doing business outside of Thailand. Other than that the person is staying in Thailand, there is no connection to Thailand and no Thais are deprived of employment. So yes, keeping in contact with your business and clients in for instance Norway online is allowed.

But this is just the opinion of the labour office in Chiang Mai.

OK so working online with non Thai customers who are not in Thailand selling a non Thai product allowed in Chiang Mai, opinion of the labour office in Chiang Mai... But that last sentence is the dodgy grey area, as so many people have experienced, not necessarily with working but other situations, it is who you happen to encounter at that exact moment in time when it comes into question and the poo hits the proverbial and what side of the bed he/she might or might not have got out of!

He also said someone can do consulting work over the internet for overseas clients without a WP. The example in the question put to him was about a California lawyer who was advising California clients over the internet -- that clearly isn't taking work from a Thai. He said a WP wasn't needed in this case -- causing a bit of a stir in the room.

Thanks for the information relay NancyL. Unfortunately I was not around to attend the meeting, but was there any more info regards to this item?

Consulting work that is giving specialist advice on business matters resulting in an income being generated? and what are the actual definitions of consultancy?

But from the other topic in visa work permit section work was classified as ""to engage in work by exerting energy or using knowledge whether or not in consideration of wages or other benefits" surely the above example of a lawyer advising his clients IS INDEED engaging in work by exerting his energy and using his knowledge blah blah blah? Or is the issue here that it is exempt due to the fact that it is providing a service to NON THAI clients overseas? Would this be the same for every work over the internet for overseas clients?

my room is currently stirring...

thanks for the useful replies

my recipe requires kosher salts, so table salt is not suitable..

shall try chabad house and also had a thought maybe kitchen friend out nong hoi way might sell it as well.

I am trying to buy some kosher salt, have checked Rimping but to no avail. Anyone know where to get some?

and anyone know where to go one jailbroken?

anyone know if there is anywhere to buy a nike+ in chiang mai?

Would really appreciate, after your having a look, a report on what facilities and equipment they have in terms of cam-driven machines, free-weights, treadmills, sauna, showers, etc. How clean the place was, whether they have lockers, are things like treadmills "pro quality" etc.

cam-driven machines? if you mean pulley, then yes a fair range of them,

good range of free weights, smith machines along with a good crossover, although not huge weights

treadmills - about 6 under 80 kilo user weighted units, about 3 over 80 under 100 kilo user weighted one, old machines that require the machine to warm up longer than the user

lockers, bring your own lock

no showers

no sauna

no classes

no noise allowed

no anything else..

certainly would not use the word pro in relation to the place

get better prices at other gyms with much more equipment and classes, fitness thailand seems the best all round for free weights, machine weights, good sturdy runners, classes, showers, professionalism blah blah blah

NB time limits imposed on all cardio equipment, limited to 20 minutes ABSOLUTE MAX including machine and user warm up, no arguing, arguing not allowed, if you dont like it, this is not the gym for you...

This 20 minutes is per user per day per piece of cardio equipment... so you can not even do a double workout in a day.

if you dont like using a running machine longer than 20 minutes (include in that 20 a 5-10 minute mandatory warm up for the machine itself otherwise it will squeal and moan at you, machine and owner alike)

if you dont like to exhale while using machinery louder than a gnats breath

if you dont like to shower after a workout

if you dont like to actually do a proper workout

this IS the gym for you...

Any light to be shed on this tragedy?

Lincolnshire couple found dead on Thailand holiday

A couple from Lincolnshire have died while on holiday in Thailand, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office has confirmed.

George and Eileen Everitt, from Boston, were in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand, when they died on 19 February.

It is not yet known how they died but an investigation is under way.

A spokesperson from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office said: "We are in touch with the family and are helping them through this very difficult time".

good food, good service, great ambience and scenery, can go for a walk around the grounds first to build up the hunger. also got rooms there and have stayed for an overnighter to get that extra bit of chill without having to traipse all the way to Pai or the like. although in winter the waterfall is not as impressive as in the wet season, although impressive nonetheless.

overall well worth the trip, we always stop there when up that way.

can get busy so cant always get the best seats, view of the waterfall, so if you are going at key/popular times then might be best to reserve.

sunbelt asia do document certs, the office is near central airport plaza

some financial institutions require an apostilled copy, which you cant get here, next best thing is a certified copy from your home consulate.
