Check out the Nokia 9500, the most advanced phone out there.

I dunno, guys...wouldn't my time would be better spent visiting orphanages, old folks' homes, AIDS hospices, rather than visiting people who largely deserve to be where they are?

Anyone who goes to a foreign country and claims ignorance of even the most basic things about that country is, well, ignorant!

As for signing something that was written in Thai.....yeah she was in Thailand. If you can't understand it, call the tourist Police or pay an interpreter. Does she think the Police will have on stand-by an interpreter of every language on this Earth.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Not every language, perhaps, but quite a few. The police in London certainly have ready access to Thai translators.

Richard.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Right, and they'd call in an interpreter for something as earth-shaking as this...

They may have been British, but they were following the Quran's instructions

  "KILL THE INFIDELS"

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

It says that in the Koran, does it?

Why do want this information ?

I said in the title, "Just Curious", didn't I? Sheesh...this IS the THAI VISA website isn't it, and completely anonymous. Why the sensitivity? You don't want to answer, don't answer. But no one is going to jump through the computer screen and arrest you if you're working without a permit.

Hear, hear, Britmaveric. I was thinking of an appropriate response to peterdk's comments, and you hit the nail on the head.

Chris is right. The applicant has to qualify on their own.

I'm immediately suspicious when ANYONE goes out of their way to their way to strike up a conversation with me out of the blue on the street. Who wouldn't? I guess someone who's dumb enough to be scammed.

There are lots of local design books and magazines on the market. "Baan Lae Suan" is a big one. They do features on various people's residences, with photographs, and always mention the name of the interior designer. There are also advertisements for interior design services in some of the magazines.

Singaporeans will be put off by this if the word gets out, not because she broke the law, but because of the way she was treated.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

It sounds as if she was treated politely throughout the episode. Nowhere do I see that she was shouted at, handcuffed, man-handled, cursed, or thrown into a pit. She should stop whining.

The Social Order Campaign has been with us for four years now, hasn't it?

Who told you gay bars have a higher age limit than straight ones do? I've never heard of such a thing. And who told you that "90%" of the bars in Soi 4 are "gay"? In fact, there only only 3: Telephone, Balcony, and Sphinx.

Not universally...I've seen "copy" bargirls who were much, much better than the real thing. No stretch lines and cellulite, at least, on the copy ones.

I wonder why they Never RAID MBK....Maybe MBK have invested lot to the brown boys...LOL

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I've been in MBK when the boys in brown were raiding ... how can you say they "never" raid MBK?

IMHO. The WTO stance on piracy is crap.

Probably 90% of people who buy pirated CD's DVD's, T Shirts, Handbags, Watches, etc (note I exclude software) only do so because they are cheap!

Were these cheap copies not available they would not buy the originals as they could not afford or would be unwilling to pay the asking price.

So tell me what are the corporations losing ?

The Chairman of Rolex admitted his Company rarely take any action against people faking his products as "The people who buy the copies cannot afford the original,.........but perhaps by wearing a copy they may aspire to one day buying the real thing" (my wording I cannot find the original quote).

Software now that is a different issue, Mr Gates has sewn up the market so we cannot operate our computers without the stuff and if copies are not available we have to buy the originals, we have no choice really.

What about music and movies? Are you saying people wouldn't buy music and movie discs if there weren't fake ones available?

How about the fake PC-CD games? The real ones are only about 350 baht and the fake ones around 100 baht -- a relatively little difference, yet still people buy the fakes. If the fakes weren't there, you don't think they'd cough up an extra couple hundred baht to buy the genuine product?

We're not just talking about luxury goods and software here.

What do the gay bars have to do with it?

Note that if you plan to live in the condo, and it is a company asset, you will have to pay rent on it to the company. Either that, or you will have to declare an amount equal to a reasonable rent as a "housing allowance" from the company, and pay tax on it as if it was part of your salary.

The legal age for drinking in the US is 21 NOT 20

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

great solution, and that's why all the young kids get plastered in tj, instead back at home

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That may work for San Diego youngsters, but It's a long way from the Great American Heartland to the border just to get "plastered".

Sounds like they were music discs (the ref. to "Sony Music Entertainment"), not software disc, so the Bill Gates theory is out the window.

Yes, boys and girls: it's "scary" when you break the law! Goodness me!

Does that cover most of the options?

The yellow book is the same as your "purple blue" household registration search. Once you get PR, you are eligible for the "purple blue" one. Before that, best you can get is yellow.

Just goes to show Mom was always right: never talk to strangers!

It`s the IMF`s fault, Who else can they blame?

George Soros?
