What about this?! get a flat bottom wok. As long as the base is magnetic it will work fine. ??

Is there safe air for breathing.... anywhere in Thailand?

A good hypnotist can be of definite help.

Maybe the govt. should start any new initiatives by going after the HUGE % of the Thai population that does not pay taxes, or significantly under-reports!!

Sorry if I am not smart enough to fully understand... Reading one of the articles posted just now- Is it saying that any gift under B20 mil can easily be gotten without the need to pay tax. Or.....???

Let's say my rich aunt wants to give me B2 million to buy a house for me and my spouse.... Will that be taxed? And if it won't be taxed, how will the Thai govt. know what is "a gift" compared to what is income?

Not sure of your situation- There are some excellent supplements on iHerb and other sites. Took me down to no more getting up at night.

Does this initial post really have anything to do with Feng Shui??

I know an excellent practitioner in English, but sorry, no one speaking Thai.

I have been playing blues harp for about 30 years ago, and I have played in a few bands. YouTube lessons- Most of them seem excellent to me. What is it about such lessons that doesn't suit you?

I was hesitant ot use poison because I thought they would die up in the roof, but then I discovered they come out of the roof area and go outside to find water. After trying several supposedly clever traps that did not work, I found poison quickly did the job. Takes about three or four days. If you have any dogs you need to be careful, because they wil pick up and play with, dead animals.

Amway is a multi-level marketing company, which basically means it is a pyramid scheme. Their goods are ok quality, but not special, AND expensive. Not crazy expensive, but expensive. They make the lions share of their money from the various sales associates they have, that buy product for themselves... Very few people do well "money wise" working for them.

Thank you.

And what will one find out by getting their genes tested?

"Bob Smith" doesn't even exist, except as a fantasy. He has no FB profile and not one picture of himself anywhere. In fact one of my friends told me that the "real" Bob Smith is a lady who enjoys playing with people's minds!!! So perhaps the "real" Bob needs to sit down when peeing!!

Hi Bob, Did you post a reply and I somehow missed it? Since you post a fair amount here, and you often like to "stir the pot" I would be interested in knowing your real name, and what you look like. No good?

Heah Bob, Are you a real person? Please show us a picture or two of yourself, and let us know a bit more about you. A wannabe fan! Charlie

Hi, I asked before, but I failed to "follow" the topic, so not sure if I got a reply or not.... Bob, I would love to see an actual photo of you, and it seems like you to not have a profile on FB, is that correct? Is Bob Smith a fictitious name? Will the real Bob please stand up!!!

Wow, my condolences! And if you got it together enough to write your post, you are sure to be doing ok for the long term.

Ahh, ok.... "Smart" people have already exited this thread a while ago. Or I should say "Ah so!"

Just getting back to Thailand now.... I lived in Japan for 30 years. A very complex society to live in... In the countryside, not more than 1% of people will speak English..... A very complex society to live in... I have not read the many posts- But likely it has been said that the term "smart" has changed drastically in meaning over the last 20 years or so. IQ tests are no longer considered of real importance by most folks in the know, and for a lot of people, in the past, "smart" just meant someone with an opinion, and someone that likes to talk pejoratively about others..... Japanese people are not known to be great conversationalists. A very complex society to live in... Unless you study one of the many, great, Japanese arts, and in a serious manner, you will likely be greatly disappointed in Japan. The countryside can be very cheap, and also, beautiful.

What is your definition of "smart people"?

Are you saying that a kidney transplant could run $300,000 or so? Heart attacks and related heart issues, and cancer, are what I checked on....

I googled various hospitals and actually went to two different hospitals... to get detailed info on specific conditions/diseases. But particularly, why would a person want to $400,000 policy? That is WAY above what a person would ever have to spend.

My experience with them was horrendous. I hesitate to say much because of libel laws here in Thailand. They are not formally doing business in Thailand, so you have no recourse if things go south. I am certain that they did not choose me as the one client they will not properly service, so I can only assume that other clients also wind up feeling cheated. I took an 80k policy, because in researching medical costs in Thailand I discovered that even if I had cancer and a heart attack in the same year, the cost would not be more than about 50k.
