Quote..... "Tanaka fell on the stairways of the second floor unconsciously, he said adding that he pulled up his head and pressed his neck in between the stair grill and stepped on his head with his leg until he died."

This is such a nice Thai guy.

no ones going to like you post as they could be arrested

And we will all be sent off to be re-trained and with forced attitude readjustment so we can be part of this 'Happy Band' of Thai people that has had so much happiness brought to it

For Anonymous this is practice stuff to keep their hand in. Maybe handed down the line to some junior members to practice and show their talents to their superiors.

Save water.

Shower / Bath with a friend.

Hint......

Buy a heavier safe next time

sent PM. I have a spare

110 Baht for big bottle? That is a rip off. Sensible girl knows her stuff.

Even when at the bar watching football we only pay 80 Baht. Normal restaurant 60 Baht. In Pattaya too.

I read this and just think that the bars/restaurants with 80 or 60 THB big bottles are cheap charlie places. They buy a bottle for 55 - 70 THB in makro, so why they shouldn't add 20-40 THB?

Man, if I order a Suhsi in Germany and add a 0,5 coke I am paying like 150 THB for it while they buy it for 30 THB.

I'd rather sit in a restaurant that sells beer for 110 THB to all it's customers with a price list publicly displayed than in a place where it sells for 80 THB but not for all.

??

Those prices are for everyone. They are simply not ripping off the customers with higher prices.

At 80 Baht you have 4 different sports, a swimming pool, friendly staff, a good variety of Foreign and Thai food. Decent tables and chairs, plenty of fans..

Why pay more in other bars.

Some places raise their prices for high season and conveniently forget to lower them

Yet many Thai places seem to be very reasonable still.

It's a bit much when a disabled person cannot ride home in safety.

I hope they deal severely with these a*holes when they catch them

As Charlie H says.

And next time remember you are expected to pay unless you sort the details out beforehand

I'm here because it is a little bit wet back in Ol' Blighty.

And winter time too.

Yeah, very well done, nurse. You are a credit to the nursing profession.

Who would want sex in a stinky washroom? How low can you go.

On your knees to waist height?

What is the benefits with visa runs compare to go to immigration to extend a tourist visa? Also thought that border crossings only give 14 days stay?

In my case, I had a double Tourist Visa. 60 days on each visa.

I extended my 1st TV by 30 days at a cost of 1900 Baht at Jomtien immigration.

My 2nd Tourist Visa needed to be activated by 30th December 2015 (when my 30 day extention expired). This mean having to do a visa run to the border.

Now I have 60 days from that date before needing to go back to immigration to extend again for another 30 days at a cost of 1900 Baht.

All the above regarding Double or Triple Tourist visas is now pretty much irrelevant because you get an MTV visa (see visa section).

The rest, as Briggsy says.

The display this year was not good at all IMHO.

Too few fireworks and too short a time.

BUT the atmosphere on the beach was great.

There are so many books available to help students study for IELTS. Needing a Band 7, probably needs Academic, not general English.

There are many available. A couple of suggestions:

Ready for IELTS by Macmillan Education, should be able to get it at any good bookstore.

Focus on IELTS by Pearson

I suggest your friend goes to a good bookstore and peruses the books available.

Thanks for those 2 titles.

We'll look for those and their availability here.

When you got back.

what choice of food was there ?

i did this a few years back and it was a crap choice

I cannot remember the full menu, but it was Farang style menu.

I chose bacon omlette and a mug of tea before departure.

Back in Pattaya I had burger and chips.

Nothing fancy, but it suited me at the time.

I prefer the ones that just get you there and straight back, which costs me 2200 baht.

So you are paying 600 baht for food ?

Considering the price of a visa now to enter Cambodia, E-visa price according to the official cambodian website .....

USD30 + USD7 (processing charge)

That is over 1300 Baht.

It makes the cost of the trip including food 1500 Baht.

At the old price of an E-visa, I would have thought twice about paying 2800 Baht for the trip.

With no paperwork, a hassle free trip and a good driver in a spacious 6 seater mini bus, I would use them again.

If I had a car these days, that would be different, but I do not.

I am happy with the service I got.

What border and price ?Was it a mini bus ?

Pong Nam ron Better known as Hat Lek

6 seater mini bus

2,800 including food and visa for Cambodia.

http://www.1stclassvisaruns.com/

for phone number and more details. Speaks very good English.

Pong Nam Ron (where you almost certainly went) and Hat Lek (a border crossing where you will be unpleasantly treated on the Cambo side) are in different provinces.

My mistake.

The stamp is indeed Pong Nam ron

what border name entry stamp is in your passport

Pong Nam ron

would it not be easier to get 'someone' to go jump into a lake?

All this fish releasing baloney. The above is what my reply would consist of

And as for the monkey - spanking sounds about right

From what I am led to understand, several small Govt schools in Chonburi area do deduct the wages at the end of the month for abscences described by the OP, epscecially after being warned about their behaviour, also for too many consecutive days sick without a sick note (one got sacked for the lack of a sick note). Thai labour law states you need a sick note for abscence longer than 3 days.

The labour laws are quite good and easy to read when you use a search facility on the opened document. Sadly I no longer have a link to that document that some kind person posted in the teaching section before.

As an aside, surely anyone who does not turn up for work on time or had many days off on a regular basis does not deserve to get paid for those periods of time?

As the topic says, is there a book to help with the IELTS that is available in Thailand and written in English that anyone can recommend ? And where available from? Pattaya area would be best if known.

Cheers.

I know there are some online guides, but I hear there is a book and that would be a great help.

Last time out the applicant got 6.5 but needs 7 to work in her chosen field in the U.K.
