Let that be a lesson to other reporters in thailand to not talk out about police acivities or anything that may effect the businesses of polititians, etc.

This is not the west. He did not commit suicide from a high floor for a reason. It's a warning to other reporters.

I don't understand, what are you trying to say?

Thanks - i'll give them a try - the transits in Abu Dhabi are a bit tortuous though!

I tried the website recommended by Rinrada and phoned them up, however they admitted to me that some of the better fares quoted are out-of-date.

I think it is Gulf Air at THB 28,000 including tax and surcharges

Anyone else got another idea?!

Thanks

A 'Harmonica' is another name for a 'Mouth Organ'.

Correct - if you have any ambitions to pursue a career back in civilization in the future; the presence of Thailand on your tech CV will kill that stone dead.

Every intelligent employer in the world knows what it implies.

If you work here as an English teacher, you risk never getting another meaningful job as long as you live. Nobody in their right mind would put that on a CV. Better to say you took a year's sabbatical.

One can only repress the 'Stroll' persona for so long before it comes smashing its way out of the subconscious psyche.

I like strawberries, but have you seen the price of cream in Central Chidlom? THB 100 a pot.

I prefer raspberries, why can't they get the kids picking that as well?

Bendix - Youre a funny guy. I like your sarcasm

Er...Bendix isn't being sarcastic, As a matter-of- fact northerner. he was being literal.

Its usually at about this point in a topic he starts dropping heavy hints about his THB 500,000 a month salary. (Eg by revealing his monthly tax bill)

We're just in awe of your wit SALN

THB 370,000 sounds like a correct ballpark figure.

At current freight costs, it is not economical to freight back household goods - the costing is done by cubic metre.

Valuable antiques or sentimental items - yes that can be worthwhile.

Unaccompanied baggage works out cheaper for clothes etc (but not furniture). This is priced on weight - $2 per kilo plus.

Bottom line: either sell it in Thailand or give it away for free.
