Not all debit cards are the same in Thailand. Have to check on how it can be used on the internet.

Can't use some debit cards for Paypal or bookings. If using for traveling outside Thailand, make sure

it is an international validated card. Usual a VISA or Mastercard Stamp.

Interesting that Thailand has cleaner coal than in most places. I have been looking for some time to find a credible person

to support clean coal. Clean coal tends to be a political ploy, rather than fact. Wind energy last time I looked, was expensive,

I think they need to get someone, who is knowledgeable in these things to give them some alternatives. Politicians making these decisions will prove costly and misdirected.

A mandate to govern lacking goals, a two trillion baht loan, hmmm..... The future of Thailand looks a bit shaky.

Sounds great, have more respect for the police. Check in two months.

I guess you have to have a cache of arms when you fight both the army

and police.

Mr. Rattanapong Intararangsi sounds like a terrorist. Should check his status in two months time.

Had this problem in the north of Canada. No direction and boredom for the teens. A cheap dangerous high.

No one cared for their future.

Chumphon to Surat Thani you can have the whole beach to yourself expect for a few on weekends. Some nice beaches. Depends on what you need to go with it.

For the last month have had problems off and on accessing Hotmail

Hmmm.... I guess the PM can't join her brother

Looks and talks like a nice sincere person. I guess I would trust him with my future and

investments. Have a concern over an abbot supporting him.

Every year the Thai Educational system goes down in the world's ranking of education. You talk about kids not going to

school. Schools in our area often close the schools for many reasons. Seminars, protests, etc. Weeks are lost every year.

Thailand realizes they have a problem with their education program. They often don't have classes so that the teachers can

learn better ways of teaching. In rural schools they often have videos in class and homework is based on the videos, and the

kids will pass the class whether they do the homework or not. So what's the worry about going to class. Home schooling as

practiced in Canada and Australia is a better system of leaning, ignoring the social benefits of going to school. When I taught

in Bangkok normally the kids that did best in my classes were the ones that had parents that really cared about their information, and reacted to the many letters and notices I sent home with the students. There are many problems with the Thai educational system. What is needed is obvious, but if no one cares, (political, administration, parents, students,) then much of what is being done is meaningless. The first rule of teaching is receptivity of those concerned.

Yeah, I wrote a report on GT-Rider at xmas ..

Are you talking about Khao Sok National park or Ratchapa Dam ( Cheiw Larn Lake ) ?

Khao Sok, is just a farang ghetto and Cheiw Larn kitted out for local tourists.

I left a name and telephone number of a good boatman on the GT report, book a government resort for 600B, he will stay on the pontoon with you, and head off on your mission just before sunrise. Another thing, canoes are free, just set your alarm early and get physical.

Cheiw Larn is Expensive, from what you have already seen, but it doesnt have to be if you screw your head on .. PM me if you have any questions.

Cheiw Larn Lake Thanks for the info. Bringing the wives no can't have too low of profile, have to have more of a plan

Does anyone know of a good tour of the lake behind the dam, (Khao Sok) Would like to spend

a day on the lake touring and doing photography. I looked up some tours and they are talking about

picking you up at 8:30 am and having breakfast and going to lake and coming home at 9:30 am for lunch.

I would like a serious tour starting early and traveling. Would appreciate recommendations. Our maybe

you can recommend a guide that can set things up.

I don't think you have to be from Bangkok to call them stupid. Could you please direct me as how I am to voice my opinion. 5555....

I guess Taksin and company should make a list of who can come to Chiang Mai, what they can say, what they can do, and what they can think.

I think this is different enough, than where I come from in Canada, that maybe should have a different word for what they are doing than democracy.

King Taksin of Lanna, well he wants to be King, and expects his subjects to do what ever and sacrifice what ever.

He will ultimately cause a lot more hardship for the sake of his ego and blindsided subjects. Like the generals in

the Vietnam war, "Makes me feel bad about sacrificing those civilians, but you got to do what you got to do."

Can accountability cause a doctor to loss their licence. I see many officials promising to do things that, from a practical point can't be done. It seems to make them feel good to lie to the public and then forget about it.

Decisions decisions .... Should the Capital be in Chiang Mai or Dubai?

Gutsy lady. After all that deserves a metal for something

Technicians from true came and fixed in a few minutes. Just changed the settings on the dish

China said they would honor needed water levels downstream. That's really nice of them. China who has

a major water problem sacrificing their needs for some downstream 3rd world countries to grow rice.
