  1. Now if some kind soul could translate boric acid or something that describes it into Thai script I would be very grateful.

    Imagining myself trying to explain this to a mom and pop store with my limited Thai is giving me nightmares while being fully awake.

  2. Women do have plenty of important roles here, like anywhere else, but it's silly to think that there is even one non-patriarchal society on the planet.

    Ever heard of the Musuo tribe in China or the Khasis in Meghalaya among many others?

    These are the only two I visited.

    Correction: Visited and understanding local customs!

    Some other places I visited, but was too busy finding a hotel, shower, onward transportation, food...........

  3. Thanks guys - yes I know about the Loi Kroh clinic but was hoping to find a clinic open sometime that dealt in STDs specificallly. Seems rather odd if there isn't one.

    I do not find this odd!

    If you combine the Thai concept of saving face and being spotted outside a dedicated STD clinic, methinks they rather jump off a cliff or do something similarly stupid!

  4. The Hillkopf coffee supply place (near Chang Puek) has a wide assortment of coffee flavors along with other coffee making paraphernalia.

    Don't know if we are talking about the same place (don't remember the name) but there is a place across the road of Chang Puek Hospital, slightly diagonal - selling everything related to coffee.

  5. It comes in two "flavors" in similar bottles -- one with DEET and a different color bottle, and the other with a green color/clear plastic bottle labeled "pure green" in English that has no DEET and instead is 20% citronella grass oil.

    I think you mean "Sketolene".

    Yellow one says 20% Deet, green one I can't read as my GF uses just about anything to test the shades of her nail polishes!

    Both are in white non-clear plastic bottles.

    Both have a lemon-like smell.

    Available in many 7/11s', drugstores, supermarkets, departmentstores, well just about anywhere!

    Sorry, don't manage to insert the pictures.

    Sketolene yellow

    Sketolene green

    It's really bad that since you were travelling with 2 small children they did not go out of their way to help.

    I'm glad to hear they do not give preference to children.

    What are we single people , second class citizens?

    This is such a refreshing attitude!

    Like - let the airline pay for my 'soapy', pay for my wifes' "shopping", let the Airline take care of the 'Kids' and if the Grandparents care to come along - take them to the desert - I need their inheritance!

  7. If you frame her birth certificate - even if it is in gold - you will be in serious trouble!

    Gold always will make them happy as they can cash it very easily with slightly high transaction fees!

    If you really want to make her happy get her an ATM Card associated to your bank account with no withdrawal limits!

    Please note - I am being sarcastic - so take it with a grain of salt!

    I do hope you will manage to buy her a gift that she will appreciate!

    Good Luck! -and- Happy Birthday to the Lady!
