The Dan Sai Kid

Does anyone know of any good websites that sell furniture in Thailand. I know that it's widely available in Thailand, but I'm in the UK just now and wouldn't mind knowing some prices of stuff, ie. what you get for your money.

Sorry, the answer to your other question is that sticky rice has a much higher starch content.

You can use rice flour to make some Scottish Shortbread - or you could just chuck it out I suppose

Have you tried vegetable wholesalers? They'll sell them in bulk -but if you know a couple of others that want them too then you're sorted. You want to ask for snake beans.

It's interesting when people see Thai markets and can't imagine how people could eat some of the meat. Where they think the hotels buy their meat from is beyond me.

FYI, the latest news from the environmental health in the UK is that it's ok to use wooden chopping boards again - it seems that bacteria can't survive in drying wood.

Funny how things go the full circle - I guess people got by ok before food regs.

I'm moving to Dan Sai at the end of the year - I wondered if anyone lives near - and fancies a couple of beers in 6 months?

Does anyone know if the psycho one-armed guy still live in Changers?  He jumped out at me when I was on my bike one night.  I found out the next day was that he is a full-time resident and has a wee bit of a drinking problem.

I've noticed a few posts saying that they found some of the ex-pat community in Chiang Mai pretty strange, but in 3 years I never experienced much of that - except the experience above.

are you talking about a farang guy? If so, yeah I know him. Got a bit of a mental problem but only when drinking. He's got a wife and kid there also. He tried to kill himself years back in Germany by throwing himself in front of a train. Obviously didn't work, so yeah, he's got some issues. Best not to get into a discussion with him while he's on the piss as he can get quite violent and really doesn't care what happens to you or him. On the other hand, you could kick his a5s but you would look pretty stupid beating on a one armed bandit. There's a lot of people like that in Chiang Mai and for some reason, I just so happen to know most of them. He1l, I may one of them! Cheers

Yeah, he was a farang - I'm moving back at the end of the year - so he'd better watch out!

Have you tried the night bazaar condotel? It's on the road that runs parallel to the night bazaar, heading away from the river. If you walk come out of JJs and walk in the opposite direction of the night bazaar then it's right ahead of you.

About 3 years ago I quit a job in Chiang Mai, and I never handed in my work permit - I never over-stayed or anything like that - and I haven't worked in Thailand since - I've been living in Scotland.

Does anyone know if I'll have a problem getting a work permit? This did happen with a previous job - and all you had to do was report the work permit missing and pay 1000 baht.

Does anyone know if this is still the procedure?

Cheers
