Been back and forth 9 times, once or twice a month to check on the construction at the new house. Stayed in hotels each time, so we must be 18 of those 5 million.

Down this morning to 36.79

So here is one which I find might be an indicator of where this is going

No envy, just fun filled puns to commence further as it is the Pub........Bobs time has come to shine once again, he does lead such a fanciful life, reminds me of Doc Holiday with his lady Kate, a hooker of course.......

As Bob sauntered down walking street in Pattaya he eyed the little lass as she approached and Bob's only words spoken were "I'm your Huckleberry"

The banks in the rest of the world have no direct association with the BOT, yet they have many baht on hand which they have taken in by exchanging into the various currencies of the world. I wonder how much baht is in the Russian banking system...The BOT would be buying Baht as a speculatory instrument and would also be buying it from the local banks as well as banks on the international level

Is this guy for real, Was it not his job to ensure the flooding was contained, I mean after 8 years what the hell did he do for the country except pilfer the coffers...

Yep I can see the 30k Thb sponsorship fee being rolled out, but wait the Buffalo is sick and grandpa needs surgery....

If you do not but a policy from one of the Thai Insurance carriers which covers the minimum requirements you will need to show 100K USD in the bank. Cheap is in the eyes of the policy type you choose and then the deductible. I have a policy through PCH which is an optima plan and I just renewed for 56k for the year. Of course that's a 20 MThb policy, with a 100K Thb deductible, and a 20% no claims discount as I have been with them for many years already, and of course I am only 57.

Bad info

Just make sure you buy her the exact gold necklace she wants, that way when she collects enough of them she can cash most in and keep one to show you she still has it, even if it is not the one you bought her.....but by then you'll be sipping Mojitos and eating a nice brunch while watching the sun rise on Koh Changy again.....gotta love the tall take fantasies of Bob Smith. His verbiage has even become like a truly educated man....

Maybe she will pay for it with the old sleeping falangs money she has from the last encounter with Bob.

In actuality, I am trying to ascertain whether or not your perceived Third rate degrees have any use in today's society. Your use of an example, such as writing a letter of recommendation to assist in obtaining entrance to a business curriculum of studies, seems to have caused heartburn for you. Are you saying that a degree in business from these supposed third rate universities is any less usable than a degree in business from Princeton? At the end of the day it is what the graduate decides to do with their degree that either makes it usable or not, and not the University they graduated from. Many folks from those low brow universities, you call third rate, are currently running companies in the business sector, while many from a prestigious university are not using their degree at all. I believe you are trying to degrade certain students who you have assisted and have done nothing with the help you gave them. There are margins in all universities where degree's are not used in the fields earned. I never used my degree, which I earned in my field of study Natural Resource Planning and Interpretation, and instead decided on a career in a different field. Did earning that degree prove useful in some aspects of my 34 year career field I chose and in my life, well in my view yes it did.

You mean instead of being the ones transporting it by motorbike. I saw a Win rider just 2 days ago being stitched up in Sai Mai while his motorbike and all of it's contents were laid on the hood of a police pick-up at a checkpoint.....

You mean who were part of the Japanese army and had been conscripted because Korea had been taken over by Japan many years prior. Koreans did not decide to build the bridge nor did they decide the POW's needed to be tortured, these decisions were all made by the Japanese

Name the studies then that are worthless in which these degrees are being classed as by you please? Should be interesting to know what you consider as a worthless degree, such as art...etc...

So western universities only produce Third rate graduate degree's? In what world is that? or are you talking about the degree studies that Thais actually get a degree from? I know many Thai's who have graduated from Universities in the US with degree's in Agriculture, Science and Technology.

They were propping up the Baht by exchanging USD for THB to assist in keeping the THB stifled, but it has not truly been working. One wonders where the USD to Thb would be if they had not played the shuffling game.....Lets see where the USD floats to as time goes on.

Nah it was just Zeus

The USD however is very close to 37Thb.........maybe, just maybe more Americans might come, but with airfares climbing as well my family has decided to stay home this Christmas and go to the Cabin since no one can afford to rent it for the 2 week Christmas break, and that's not just because of a rental increase to cover the power and heating bill......

They were not there as Allies but more as part of Japans conscripted army. Korea under Japanese rule Between 1910 and 1945, Korea was ruled as a part of the Empire of Japan. Joseon Korea had come into the Japanese sphere of influence with the Japan–Korea Treaty of 1876; a complex coalition of the Meiji government, military, and business officials began a process of integrating Korea's politics and economy with Japan.Wikipedia

Would be no difference, no difference at all.

Like I said different in places

Just go to the River Kwai Museum and see what the Japanese did in Thailand,.....

High hopes they have, very high hopes and expectations.....hope they don't get egg on there faces.
