I think the future of Thailand lies with China and Japan, there is no country that won't try to take advantage of Thailand.
The problem lies in having the right people during the negotiations, having the proper support and priorities, and being able
to say no.

I appreciate the sacrifices of the people in the UK for their government workers and politicians. With the benefits that are accrued for one term in office you cannot afford to work for small business or industry, Your children have to be politicians or government workers. Most creative people such as artists of all type will be dead before thep stop working. Sorry don't understand.

Why is not the summit taking place in a Asean location?

I guess no one wants to give you an answer.. Can ask local fisherman. Should know where to buy or build.

In my experience, there seems to be a widespread negative attitude against aspirin, and one pharmacy seems to be down on it and the next seems to have no problem. As said if you can't get
it at one try another, although more seem to be negative than positive.

In the West would think this was a pretty good return on investment. 10,000 baht return on a 1000 baht investment.

In looking at Thai Visa I think there are a lot of Farangs in Thailand that are pretty well unhappy with anything.

First things first. What do you do with the money you have. Second, what will you do with the money you get. Third, Tourism in Asia is very competitive. What does the tourist get for paying the extra money?

As in the West teaching morality and discipline is a neglected part of raising a child often overlooked by the parent and forced onto the teacher really doesn't have the time or often to inclination to raise someone else's kids.

It is difficult to get an education in Cambodia, and it is for sure that if she gets adopted, she will get an University education, so that she can
go back to Cambodia and provide positive things to the Community. In any case she will benefit, and to take this opportunity away is unfortunate.

Can not buy online?

Go holiday has some wonderful trips to Myanmar even though not on the list. If you only have a week may want a tour as can have a lot of non productive time finding things by yourself.
Can spend 3 or 4 days at Siam Reap then come back through Phnom Penh. That's a nice trip.

First thing is keep the problem simple. What are we doing? What can we do? Heard an interesting project on making cushion and mattresses out of rubber. Do we have the right people assessing the problem. Give some big university in the states the problem of rubber products.

A mother and her child suffered broken legs, and there may be a 6,000 baht fine. I'm speechless. A least
one million in the states. How can there be so little accountability that no one will worry about it happening again?

Look up head lice and essential oils some good not that expensive organic solutions.

There is a train that goes near the border and you just catch a tuk tuk to the border. Only costs about 100 baht for the train, Thai's can ride free. Found it quite comfortable.

Just got it done in December no problem no fee.

I use TMB and just write a check to myself out of my foreign account. Takes about a month for the money to transfer. The exchange rate
seems to be OK. No fees under the no fee account. I think it costs 500 B a year and you are allowed something like 17 transactions a month
or something like that.

Studies show that when you instruct more than 12 people the system suffers. It becomes less intimate, more time is spent on the slower students, or brighter students, management of the class takes longer etc. This is a generalization, as you also
have to consider the quality of the teacher, students, and lesson plans. My teaching experience indicated that somewhere around twenty students I started to notice problems with each additional student. At this level to spend time with individual students benefited by having some type of assistance. At some point between 20 and 30 you become an instructor rather than teacher. I think in Thailand they train instructors rather than teachers, I have seen teachers with four students instructing rather than teaching. An instructor teaches the students what the student should learn and a teacher assists the individual in learning the subject material.

One of the biggest problems between English Degree Teachers who are professionals and drop in teachers is the understanding of Professional. If you are a professional this discussion is mute.

Costa Rica and Thailand are both lovely places. This is a personnel decision, so not knowing you will make a few comments. Had a lot more problems with theft in
CR in one week than I have had in Thailand in 10 years.Not that Thailand isn't all that safe, but a little common sense takes you a lot further. I find the Thai's normally
are opportunists not criminals.How often do you need to return to the States? Once you take care of transportation and board in Thailand you spend what you want to.
Women and drinking is where most of your money is spent. What type of environment do you need to live in. Costs a lot more to live in Bangkok than Chumphon.
How much do you need to have Western culture around you? I meet up with people a few times a month, no problem. If you need to live in
a western type environment going to cost you,and if you can take or leave drinking with Westerners, can live surprisingly cheap. Didn't get to know how the government
works in CR, but on the surface appeared to be one of the smartest ones in the America's. Thailand can be a pain, but if you dot the I's and Cross the T's, not really significant.

Thailand future is and always has been with China and Japan. Always surprised that no one at the upper levels in Thailand has ever understood this.
When the Chinese economy rises, one of the first expenditures is on food. China has had problems with water for agriculture for some time now, and
Thailand is currently having problems, just not as serious, There are large areas that don't really have problems. China and Japan are locked in
markets and as long as Thailand doesn't screw up politically, the markets are a lot more stable than the west. I am not close enough to the problems
with research, marketing and community agricultural assistance to the agricultural community that Thailand, has if any, but I am sure Thailand could
easily double the sales to China and Japan for Agricultural products. If Thailand had a coordinated agricultural industry I am sure they could easily sell
everything they produce.

In a variety of place in North America and I imagine Europe have community government representatives that are well educated in their fields
and have good experience that work with the local agricultural people. These people are not only knowledgeable in their own right, but
form a pipeline from research centers and Universities to solve problems and bring them new procedures and techniques.

Can not use their names, but can show a picture. These girls are quite young, if the future smiles at them they always have to live with these pictures. Seems to me in North America can not use photographs like this under a certain age.

Don't Buddhists, specifically, monks, and even more specifically Abbots of a temple, have to adhere to vows of renouncing possession of material, earthly chattels and/or wealth or symbols of wealth? This is true therefore he is a lay Buddhist in beliefs and actions. So not too sure how he can be Supreme patriarch nominee Not sure if there are vows made so much as accepting a mindset.
