The moment before flying off a jet ski at 100km/h.

Anyone had any positive experiences with hair tonic for hair fall/loss here in Thailand?

There is good reason to believe that sex education only makes the problem worse. Sometimes teenage pregnancy rises after sex education.

How long does each outbreak last? (roughly a week?)

How does it progress? (blister - burst - heal?)

How may blisters do you get? (4-6?)

Same place each time?

Some of these girls will have 3 or 4 farangs on the go, who fly back to Europe or wherever but who continue to send the girl anywhere between about 10k-40k per month.

I bet some of these girls make 100k per month.

No wonder they are happy.

Don't forget it is the money these girls bring in that is pretty much bank rolling most of Isaan.

40K thats more than someone with a university degree would earn.

Yeah. But remember the most productive time of the career is from 18 to 30y of age, after which you'll be phased out. So getting a permanent sponsor as a husband is the natural career progression and it brings it's own perils. Grinding it out in a boring office job is a bit safer in the long run.

I don't think 8000 baht a month is safe in the long run. Not unless you think saving 10 baht a month is safe for the long run. There is no "productive" time for minimum wage staff. And, I think you underestimate how much a 45 year-old hooker can make.

And to the guy before who said that 100k is 40k more than what a person with a universty degree would earn. Try 85k-90k more. Thai teachers at my school (with degrees) still earn 9k-15k!

Would you share 5 minutes of your 'time' with let's say a 70 year old granny without teeth? I would prefer to sweat 10 hours in the sun.

Ask yourself why a lot of these girls are excessive drinkers or users.

I would for 1,500 baht.

No no, very very few are excessive drinkers and even less are users. And why am I an excessive drinker?

Just got a Ford Ranger XLT Hi-Rider. Really happy with it.

I love new rides...That smell is a wow.......But, when the smell has gone and perhaps stuff happens, that smell has long been forgotten...

It was 2nd hand, actually. But still smells OK. haha

Ah come one. Toyota isn't the only reliable brand on the market.

Well, thanks to all replying to this thread.

I just bought a Ford Ranger XLT and it's a really nice drive.

Hello all.

I know there have been many threads where people debate and argue about this, but on this thread I hope we can get a clear view with the poll.

Cheers.

Our daughter has been in her own room the past 6 months (she's 3 and a half).

The wife agrees its much better this way and our daughter likes it too. The wife does, however, have to go to bed with our daughter first, then sneak into our room after she falls asleep.

I put a stop to the nonsense of the whole family sleeping in the same bed together, by moving into the guest room myself. It only took about 6 months before wifey missed me

When exactly did Isaan join Thailand?

Hello,

I am looking to buy (bulk) football shirts. I would like to find a place that sells them cheaply and has a large selection of different shirts.

Of course, I know about MBK and places like that, but I am certain there will be better places.

Any ideas?

Thank in advance for any help.

Thank you Mayweather. We are all glad your boring show is over. Leave soon. Don't come back. I fear you may kill boxing.

Couldn't have been any more boring.

The most interesting parts were when "Money" looked afraid and made girly faces as he fled "Pacman's" combinations, none of which landed a proper blow.

Coverage has started on Channel 7.

To be fair, I don't think 300 baht per day is enough either.

In a 5 day week, that's only 6k a month. Virtually nothing, even for a single person.

Even 10k is not enough for anyone to live here, in my opinion.

I think, it should be not less than double what it is now: 600 baht per day, working 5 days week - so that's 12k per month. Fair for minimum wage in Thailand's economy.

I mean, 600 a day is only 75 per hour (in an 8 hour working day). Would it be so hard to pay workers a minimum wage of 75 baht per hour? Really?

Let's be sensible guys. Remember we are in a country with a certain law, which covers every royal family in the world, not just Thailand's own.

But anyway, important news. Another baby born in the world

Motives will hinder us.

The practice is the doing (in the moment) without focusing on returns.

Consider it as doing a selfless deed for someone without expecting a return.

Though, deep down i think we do all have motives, nut best to try not focus on it.

I suppose my motive is: I am tired of suffering.

The idea is, you just have to take care of your front end and make sure you don't hit anyone, that's all. What happens around you doesn't matter.

This is how they have explained it to me. Though when they drive bumper to bumper behind you, it sort of works against their theory. I have never seen to many 5km/h accidents in all my life (people driving bumper to bumper).

They also dislike people getting in front of them. I don't know if it is a loss of face or they really think they will be held up because of it. But they will go to any extent to stop you getting in their lane.

But in general, their culture is to simply do as you please without thinking about much else. Whatever else happens isn't your fault cos you were just doing this.

In many ways they are more selfish than us, and in many ways they are less selfish than us.

There are pros and cons to all cultures. I still think there are more pros than cons to Thai culture. I do appreciate them the way they are, for he most part.

Got a definite time yet?

Your best bet is teaching maths at international school or a school with an English Program. Forget teaching English, if you aren't a native speaker, which is in fashion here, your options are limited.

Since, you have no teaching experience you may have to accept a slightly lesser salary, but it'll be more than you would get teaching English as a non-native speaker.

A detailed history of why it took over 5 years for this to happen:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd_Mayweather,_Jr._vs._Manny_Pacquiao#History

Since when can Wikipedia ever be quoted as 'A detailed history of why.......' anything? When I see Wikipedia as a 'source' of knowledge/fact it is time to go and do some real research of my own,

Though, Wiki is virtually never wrong.

It may not be wise to use Wiki as a source in your dissertation, but it's hard to find incorrect data.

Looking forward to it. Pity it wasn't 5 years ago. Mayweather has a better chance now.

Anyway, Channel 7 on Sunday, drinking from 9am! Got it. The wife won't be too happy.

I wish I was in BKK for it.
