The Japanese may find that the cost of labour and working conditions have changed considerably since they built railways in Thailand between 1942 and 1945.

To be honest with amount of illegal foreign workers its probably not gone up that much

True... and the working conditions have not changed much either...

I just went to the CMU Vet with my new baby cat that is about 3 months old for his second round of standard vaccines...

They also recommended I get the Feline Leukemia vaccine on my next visit she said it was not required but recommended...

The strange part was that the vaccine is 200 baht but they must perform a test before the vaccine that cost 1,000 baht?...

What is the test for?... Why not just give the vaccine?

I would like to know how bad this number would have been if you factor out all the rice that was dumped in the first four months of this year?...

Never mind someone got a call and is now singing a happier tune...

"The Commerce Ministry is optimistic that the country's exports will recover soon after bottoming out in April"

My questions for Mr. Aramwatananont would be who will be catching all these fish now that he has no slaves?...

and where will these fish come from now that they no longer fish in illegal waters?...

Try changing your DNS server to 8.8.8.8, 8.8.8.4

On a positive note about the Chinese, Thankfully they don't hire cars and drive ???

The roads of Thailand are dangerous enough as it is, without them weaving in and out and stopping when they feel like it...

Sadly they do up here in Chisng Rai/Mai...

^^^ That may be the policy... But I have found that if you email the smaller out of the way hotels directly and ask the price they will give you a similar rate and not charge you the VAT and 10% booking fee... ;-)

Would this be like those TukTuk caravans that go around the moat?...

Not to burst their bubble but wouldn't this kind of gathering need approval from the junta?...

And a foreigner volunteer Tourist Police would need a bike license and work permit?

Are you sure you understood them?... I just looked at the ads section... Seems to be same as usual... many posts there form today

In Warawat Market there in a whole isle of fishing gear shops... Just next door to The Dukes on the river is a fishing store

^^^ You sir are in the lucky SMALL minority that have your name in a yellow house book

There are a couple shops that sell used stereo & karaoke equipment on the outside north side of the moat... just past the turn for Chang Puak road you will see them on the left... Doubt anyone can re-cone... better to Macgyver it somehow as Worgeordie suggests

If you don't look down its not gay !...

And my guess is the center one in black...

They may also ask for a copy of the back of your departure card (which is blank)...

Can someone post a map location of the shop near the 3 kings monument please ?

Is this the place?...

Curious... What is that shiny new white building that was just built across the street from the present immigration?... It looks like a perfect new immigration building?

The Promenade Mall has a golden opportunity!... A reliable shuttle from Thae Phae Gate to the Mall then immigration could increase the body count.

Make it start at 3am and run every half hour...

I would still consider having Google Mail?... You could still find a local tech person to administrate it...

The advantage is that they are easy to setup - with a standard app for every operating system.

My company has used them for over 5 years with no problems...

I wouldn't get your hopes up... I don't thing they mean the Promenade Mall...

They most likely mean the Immigration office near Promenade Mall where they have the address verification scam...

And if so I hope they at least pave the parking lot...

"The root cause [of the crisis] is increasing human trafficking. The problem of the migrant graves is not a Myanmar problem - it's because of the weakness of human trafficking prevention and the rule of law in Thailand."

I thought this a refreshing statement in a group of countries all blaming others...

I have had a Truemove H 4G prepaid reoccurring plan for about a year at 299 baht/month... I am very happy with it and the service - I thought it was the cheapest plan available...

But than I happened across this link:

http://truemoveh.truecorp.co.th/4g/sim-truemoveh/prepaid/entry/3340

It seems to say one can get 1gb of data for 179 baht/month?

The page has a lot of Thai that can not be translated so I am unsure as to the fine print?

The Minisrty of Tourism will also added them to thier entry numbers...

Amorn Electronics on the north side of the most... Also walk around the computer mall it is in... Also look at your local 7-11 they sell them too but usually not the higher capacity ones...

The jump was mainly due the Tourism Ministry's inclusion of Rohingyas and Bangladeshis...
