Actually I feel sorry for them. I'm sure this isn't their dream job and what they aspired to do for a living. So I treat with respect and am friendly toward them.

The powered dairy cream in those packets is extremely unhealthy and loaded with toxic chemicals .In the '50's Coffee Mate, for ex. was really dehydrated cream and sugar. That changed long ago.Take 30 packets of that poison pour it a bowl along with 30 packets of sugar and see what you're ingesting every thirty days .Not good.

Also spending 14Baht per cup that came to 420Baht per month and putting alot of garbage in my system.. So what I did was,, bought a big bag of Nescafe packets at Tesco. A new electric coffee /tea kettle for 325Baht at some little mom and pop store . Have skim milk in the refrigerator and forgo the sugar. Saved money and I feel better.And have had that kettle for five months and it still works fine.

Have some small single volt 110-120v appliances from U.S. Hair clippers, small sound machine, etc. Just bought an International dual voltage converter from Amorn electronics. On back of it there''s a switch

INPUT and the other INPUT

110-120v 220-240v

50 /60Hz 50/60Hz

OUTPUT: OUTPUT:

110V 220V

My question is where do I set the switch for a small single volt 110v appliance? I'm assuming

input 110-120v with an out put of 220V

Is that right? Please correct me if I'm wrong..

Thanks

I spent a year in Siem Reap Cambodia. There are two different visas , tourist and business(ordinary). For long term use the latter. But be aware that if you do use the business visa the police and immigration will be knocking on your door.As they did with me and a other ex-pats . Wanting to know why I had a business visa but no business. There were about six officials that came to the hotel I was staying at .High ranking guys with more medals on their uniforms that Patton..lol.And they interrogated me for at least a half hour. And said point blank,''if you have a business visa, then you MUST have a business! ''. And they were not pleasant about it at all, they were hostile and trying to be intimidating and I seriously was ready to be shaken down ... I pointed out , nicely ''if you have a problem with foreigners staying here on a business visa then maybe you should have a talk with all of your travel agents that hand out these extensions like candy. You approve my extension,then you rudely interrogate me? I mean I can see if I was here illegally but my visa was approved by your immigration office in PP''. I also said politely.'' if you don't want me in your country I'll leave but there 's no need to be rude and talk to me as if I'm a criminal''. All was said calmly and politely. The head honcho wanted to know what I was doing here , I told him innocently boosting Cambodias' economy by spending my retirement pension there. I continue,'' but if you want me to leave then I'll go to Thailand and boost their economy instead''.

It's all about money and greed. Cambodia does'nt have a pot to pi$$ in or a window to throw it out of. But now they're getting greedy by hassling foreigners who want to stay long term by forcing them to open a business which in turn they'd have to pay taxes. This is a recent thing . i knew people that stayed there for years on the what was once the ordinary visa . And never had to open a business. It's changing.

If you come into Thailand on a tourist visa and want to switch to a retirement visa you'll have to change to a non-O first which you will not be able to do in Thailand, or at least not in Chiang Mai. Maybe Bangkok I hear conflicting reports about that tho. Best to come in on the non-O visa. The change to retirement yourself.

My sister was with child welfare and crisis center in the states for ten years . And I know from her cases and what she told me, something about this type of horrid situaton and from I know,, here's my advice....

GET YOUR DAUGHTER OUT OF THERE !

Are you kidding me ? It's obvious she's in a dangerous enviornment . Your her father ,,Protect her .As another poster said DO YOUR JOB! If you have to work, hire someone with crendentials to care for her. She'd be alot safer than with those two mongrels...She's trying to tell you something.LISTEN!

And let me get this straight...You said you caught one of them stting on the couch with her when she was four , masturbating???!!!! Did I get that right?? And you think the situation has improved?! Are you kidding me !? HOW in Gods name did you let that incident ''slide''? I would have beat him within an inch of his life . You better take care of this immediately. Before it gets much worse and somethings happens that is irreversible.And your ex is delusional and living in a fantasy world..she 's as dangerous as those two 15 yr.old low lifes.
