Should be a death penalty for poaching these beautiful Tigers.

The poachers themselves are usually poor locals who get maybe a couple hundred dollars for a tiger. And if anyone ever gets caught, it’s going to be them. It’s the kingpins who make (tens of) thousands of dollars for every poached tiger. They are calling the shots and never get caught, because they can buy their way out of trouble.
They are the real criminals, often involved in all kinds of other crime as well (such as wildlife trafficking) and they are the ones who deserve the death penalty.

Gluten free bread is a bit like decaffeinated coffee, alcohol free drinks, or sh..ging with a johnny on.   555

Jeez, talk about your inane posts. Were you bored or something? Do you even know what gluten intolerance means, what it does to someone? Guess not, if you think posting drivel like this is funny.

Thanks again. That place is awesome, would probably never have found it by myself.

Thanks! Will go check it out right away.

A friend of mine is coming to visit and he’s gluten sensitive. I’ve been looking in several bakeries (pane & focaccia, the baguette), but they don’t seem to have gluten free bread. Anyone know of a place/bakery in Hua Hin where they do have gluten free bread?

Thanks for the advice. I know Chaing Mai very well and like it a lot, so that's probably where I'd want to learn the language. Bangkok might be a better place, but I couldn't stay in Bangkok for longer than maybe a week or so. Don't get me wrong, I like Bangkok, but only in small doses, it's way too busy and crowded for me.

I hadn't really considered the regional aspect yet, but what I would like to learn is basic, 'mainstream' Thai, preferably with as little dialect or regional intonation as possible.

Hi,

I'm thinking of moving to Thailand. Want to compare notes?

Hi,

I just learned from the Dutch embassy in Bangkok (I'm Dutch) that it's illegal for foreigners to be self-employed in Thailand. I find this very hard to believe, because there must be thousands of self-employed foreigners in Thailand. So how do they do it?

Any suggestions?

Rudi

Hi,

I'm interested in learning the Thai language as well as the Thai script, preferably somewhere in Thailand from a native Thai speaker. Any suggestions how to go about that? I'm thinking of a private tutor that can teach me Thai for two/three hours a day, say four/five days a week. This way it will probably take a few months to learn at least basic Thai, but I'm in no hurry.

I'm Dutch, by the way, have a bit of a feel for languages and know a tiny little bit of Thai already.

All suggestions are welcome!

Rudi
