There are a few expat pubs and meeting places. Lady Janes pub and Eng. grub, Poolbar 8ball and big screen, Phits Sports Bar pool and tv sports, Topland Plaza, Big C complex, etc. Not that big of a place so easy to find the expats sitting around havin a glass and talking about the local politics.

Thanks for the advice. Where is Lady Janes and the Phits Sports? I think I might know the places but not the names. Are they on the road that goes from Topland Arcade (not Topland Plaza, but where they sell computers) to the road that goes over the river fairly close to Wat Chinnarat? If not there, I'm sure I can find them. Thanks again.

Exactly what happened to me years ago. The "billy" tried to put it's high heel in my forehead and the punter looked at me to say "I don't care".

Once in awhile get same failure and unplug decoder from power bar and it reboots.

I was wondering anybody knows where i can hire a Mini Digger in Buriram, there are plenty of hi-macs and kobotos, etc, but cannot seem to find a mini digger, i need it to dig out a 15 metre X 7 metre Koi pool in my garden, there is a lot of ledges etc to make and also a small island with a pagoda on, a JCB type would be two big, a mini one is easy to handle, i would appreciate any advise, going to do this project when in Buriram in middle of Feb. ...........thanks guys....

I had a similar hole dug for swimming pool/fish pond. Just hired local man Manuel Labour and wife 200bht@day@18d=3,600bht.

60g=2.4mil bht not that much to start a new life. Not enough to buy car and house. To work here for way less,way less. Don't rush, get near the 600g mark and then live like a lord.

Best bang for the buck,Nana. Ya I know either love it or hate it. Booking thru [email protected] it's about 950 with buffet and newspaper incl. Close to all and no hassle with conducting interviews with locals all night. Some rooms are newly renovated and pool is all finished.

Your language skills are insufficient for starters. You would have to be 100% fluent speaking and writing. And secondly you're looking for a job a local could do for way less money. As a manager you're used to likely near 50g a year. Here it's likely 5g for a year.

The problem will be as earlier mentioned the neighbours will deny ownership. Run one over with a car and they will demand compenstion for the beloved family pet. If one nips you no one will hold up their hand when you ask who farted. Pepper spray will work fine and cure the pack. Smarts for awhile but nothing long term. Keep the rubber down.

Follow the money. Where do the super rich send their kids? Overseas. Where do the very rich send their kids. Int'l schools. See the pattern. It's all based on what they can afford. The end result will vary greatly as the students come out of the Tham,Chula univ. they get the gravy and it filters down from there.

The only cerificates you'll see are in the big dealerships where the "mechanics" have attended factory training seminars. The locals learn by hands on and from friends. There are some secondary schools that teach the basics in most of the trades. If you have a big bike stay away from the small locals as they won't admit they don't know how to do something and try to learn at your expense.

Had a dog named Bob who used to kill his share of snakes. Sometimes his face would be swollen so bad he couldn't see, cobra spitting. Then oneday when he was about 9, I guess not as fast as he used to be got bit and died a slow and painful death. RIP buddy.

A few years back I bought a pick-up reg. in Phuket. Went with seller to reg. office did some paperwork and took these to local reg. office up-country. Here they looked at no's and did an inspection. Took awhile for book and new plates to arrive but not difficult. I also bought a bike from Phuket last year and it's reg. in BKK. Just left it reg. in BKK and transferred ownership to my name. I liked the plate # and wouldn't get a unique # up here. My letter conf. add. states I live up-country.

Just because you chop some things off and add some others doen't change their DNA. A ducks' a duck.

I have first class ins. and just give the book to the ins. co and they do everything. No extra charge for doing it, just the cost of the reg. and comp. gov't ins.

If you're moving shortly and sure of the new address just tell Honda the new add. same as immig. tell them the new add. and your letter conf. add will be in order.

you've, probably, been asked this a thousand times and I couldn't find the info elseware.

So, Is it essential to have a plane ticket when applying for this kind of visa?

I was thinking of getting the visa ready, then i'd be able to leave on a moments notice (the next few weeks!).

I am British and 35

Regards

Don't need ticket beforehand. They will ask when you are arriving in LOS so visa will be valid. You must use visa within a certain amount of time from issue, I think 2 mos.

EMS at any post office.

As mentioned in earlier post Chatuchak market has all kinds of birds and supplies. Saw them for around 20,000bht and all looked in good health. They're worth too much money, so the sellers keep them in good health.

Visa cost will be the same if you apply for a tourist visa[60 days] and take 1 day. If only staying 30 days get visa on arrival at border.

Doubt they could reg. it for you in Phuket. but not that hard to do yourself. My bike was also reg. in BKK and have changed it to my name and just keep renewing it. Liked the plate #. A friend of mine sells veh. at a local Toyota dealer here upcountry and could give you prices over the phone if you're really interested.

When students asked about grammar I told them that when they were 6 yrs. old they could speak Thai in the proper grammar before they started school. They learned this as did we through conversation and practice. So lets start stringing a few sentences together before learning a mound of rules. Good for lower grades but of course uni. students should be up to learning the rules for more advanced writing.

Lots of quality food available at pet shops nationwide, large bag 800+-bht. Have seen Pedigree lamb flavour.

Have been coming here for many moons and never had any shots. Also never known anyone who did get shots.
