Supposed to be free but always been 500 Baht in Chiang Mai.    If you live here better to get a Yellow Book, also supposed to be free but 500 Baht for one time only and no more worries.

Who issues the yellow book >

Immigration or Municipality ?

What documents do you need to get it ?

starting off by teaching grammar is a mistake and puts students off. They need to learn how to speak and build up vocabulary first, grammar is hardly needed. Most native English speakers know next to nothing about it.

“Grammar and structure are important. Do not think that just because your writing communicates you point, it’s already okay because it may be misleading, “said Ingtip. 

Try the following :   “Grammar and structure are important. Do not think that, just because your writing communicates your point, it’s already okay, because it may be misleading.

LOL. The girls are lazy and prefer selling their bodies to old men that give them lots of money, as opposed to a young Thai man that earns a pittance. They also enjoy the party lifestyle.

Why else would so many do it? They can always work in the rice fields for 300 baht a day if they don't actually want to work in the bars.

 

It amazes me that so many posters that obviously don't know any bargirls as friends profess to know everything about them. I guess they get all their information from red top scandal trash UK papers.

 

How many days work each year are generated by planting  and harvesting rice ?

Actually, it has a lot more to do with UK supermarkets selling high-% ABV cans of cheap lager and cider on 2-for-1 specials in the afternoon. The pubs are empty most weekend evening because the young and the gormless are back in their council flat getting wiped out on cheap booze BEFORE going out on the ran dan.

Regrettably, that is absolutely true

My two cents worth: His specialist subject - stating the bleedin' obvious.

I've got a PhD in 'Stating the Bleeding Obvious'  from the University of Bums on Seats in England. Maybe the Thai astrologer also paid the relatively small fee to qualify for this prestigious degree from one of the UKs newest universities......

Does everyone think that Russia taking over Crimea is okay?

Really!

Geezer

Yes.  Some years we had a war with Ruassia, along with our trusted allies - the French. It was called the Crimean War 'cos that area was part of Russia.

Street art is not vandalism imho.

Street art gives life to all those sad plastic and concrete artifacts, and it brings happiness to people's eyes.

Those who can't appreciate street art are sad people imho..

Also, young people have a lot of energy, it seems to me a good way to let it out.

That said, they should be able to cancel their paintings if requested by the authorities, as it seems that the majority of people don't like them.

As for caning, jailing and deporting, one can just hope it's not said in a serious way

you are a pathetic sad person just like the morons in the video  , in my pretentious opinion.

Caning, jailing and deportation of people like you would bring happiness to the people !!

why not tell us where MC and DMK are ?   To some of us this is totally meaningless

Perhaps foreign aircraft might similarly pay an increased-toll, coming over here, and excessively-wearing-out Thai runways ?

I suspect that they already pay fees to the Airport Authority of  Thailand - like in every other country

Yes there was a vote and the majority voted to leave. I get and accept that.

What is so depressing is that the politicians in charge seemingly had no idea of the consequences and no idea how to implement the exit process.

Still, they won't be the ones hardest hit by the mess as they will still have their jobs and at the end of the day as usual it will be Joe Public bearing the brunt.

We had a vote and a very small majority (including myself) chose to leave, on the promise that we would save 350,000,000 GBP each week to give to the NHS.

This turns out to have been a bare-faced lie propogated by the bumbling blond clown (Boris) and his friends.

Each week (almost daily) we see that the Brexiteers have no idea what they are doing, and have no grip on the facts. The divorce bill is based on pie-in the-sky dreaming. What have those thousands of extra civil servants been doing. The level of incompetence shown by Mrs May defies belief.

It is clear that the UK would be much better off staying in the EU now.

On the plus side, the percentage of people who believe road survival/death is up to "fate" (the 'add more amulets crowd') is down to 32% form 50% just a few years ago. So that's progress.

That's exactly what the Komodo Cons want. But, they need to show adequate EU "intransigence" to get away with it. I tell you, they don't have the interest of the average British individual at heart! It astonishes me that people don't see it!

Spot-on Grouse.  The hardline Brexitiers want to change UK into a tax haven with a population of empoverished 'plebs' ruled by a small number of super-rich  masters.

Remind you of anywhere ?

Where can people drive these cars legally at such high speeds ?

Are there dedicated race tracks for this, or are the main roads used ?

 Isn't taking the night train at a leisurely pace really rather nice?

 

I remember taking to overnight sleeper from Chiang Mai to BKK back in the 70's.  Most relaxing, especially in the restaurant car immediately behind the engine. Food served on those aluminium trays like we had at school !   It cost as much as the plane ('cos I always went 1st class a/c sleeper)  -  but the only way to travel.

You can point it out, but you you are wrong.

High tourist area - 382 cameras only 219 or 57% were of any use.

All of Pattaya - 2,112 of which 47% are of use.

Can I just point out that "57% were of any use," is NOT "more than half of them are not working"
