Take a closer look at this gift from cabinet. Less tourists will be welcome for ex-pats living here. The farangs left will be appreciated that much more.Prices on everything will go down. Economy should take a bit of a dive and all should be happy. Bring on the 50 to 1, 97 baht. Remember we are only guests here and what they do with there country is there business. Other countries in the region could use the tourist $$ that Thailand doesn't want. These beer drinking sex tourists only push up prices. Don't worry about the supply, some of those cute waitresses put out of work in the bar will be forced to look for other well paying jobs. Beer prices might even go down with demand. I'll drink to that!

Renewed lic. last July for about the 7th time. Only Thais allowed more than one year lic. Got a letter from local amphur for residencey, much cheaper than going to embassy.

If you're going to do visa runs you don't need the B, just the O. Have known some who apply for permit with no degree but this was awhile ago and apparently now they req. deg. You can always apply and see what happens. They won't kick you out, just refuse to give permit.

I use Ksc and Roy Net and both are very slow right now. A friend uses I-Net and Samart and same thing. I figure it happened about the time all the schools opened. Most schools get these free conections so just leave them on all the time.

The best of both. Try a Nissan Wingroad. It drives like a car but has a back like a pick-up. Runs on gas and goes as fast as any car. Costs me just over 1 baht a km on the hwy. The back seat will not hold 3 large farangs but will accomadate 3 small Thais. Also available with auto trans. New at about 414,000. Bought 3yr. old low kms. for 250. Know of 5 other farangs in my city with same Nissan NV and all like them. Some of these guys are over 6' and 200lbs. lots of room. Have had mine 3 yrs now and change oil and go.

Most univ. pay this 17 plus 7,500 for accomadation. To make more the teachers work for private language schools or a company on a @hr. basis. Even most univ. have extra hrs.available say on the weekend or evenings at about 500 @hr. To earn over 50,000 you must get on at one of the int'l schools and they hire you from abroad.

Recently a friend passed away after a lengthy illness and his wife got the village kamnan to sign death cert. Was told by hospital that because he died at home don't bring him in. She is now collecting pension benefits from UK as he was retired gov't worker and they were legally married in UK.

This was not in BKK but upcountry. Doesn't matter where you are for speeds. Check local tot offices, should have brochures on counter.

Yes, quickly go to the laser clinic and remove the ATM tatoo on your forehead. It's much easier to ask the farang for money than solve the problems as they did before you came into the picture. Sit the wife down and ask what did they do before you arrived? Then explain your first priority is to her and the kids, maybe a small amount every couple months could be sent to help with the sick buffalo. Stand firm as they will not stop unless you stop it.

If it's your land or your wifes' don't know who you would need to ask for permission.

For jobs and info go to www.stickmanbangkok.com and www.ajarn.com

Have applied for a Thai visa from 4 different countries and never been asked for any ticket, only date of departure.
-
200,000 is a very old req. it's now 800,000 or a combination of income and money in bank
-
Try www.stickmanbangkok.com for more views on teaching. Would not recommend ECC for anything. To get a real feel of things come on a holiday and meet up with some of the teachers from ajarn.com.

The previous poster is correct but seeing your first visit will be less than 30 days you can apply for visa on arrival. When back in US you can then apply for single entry for your second visit which is more than 30 days. Either way you will be making an application for visa in the US. Might be quicker than getting visa on arrival.

Many schools will hire on any type of visa but on a tourist visa you are forbidden to work. Once you have been hired you will then have to leave the country to obtain a non-immigrant type B visa. You do not have to return to the USA for this you can go to any country,Mayaysia or Laos are the preffered. You will need to take documentation to the consulate confirming your offer of employment by the school.

Food 9,000 and wife 10,000? Should be able to give wife the 10 to buy the food. House ins. Why? First person I ever heard of in Thailand with it. Holiday fund 60,000 a yr.? Incidentals 7,500 for what? With no rent or lease payments one can live very comforably on 30 and that's not skimping before end of month. Average Thai could do it for15-20 and pay house and car payments.

Back about 6 mos. ago met 5 gals from some break off of Russia working up country. They work a few days in BKK and then off to the provinces. Costs them about 200US return. Mamasan travelling with them gets cut from every customer. Strictly for the local Thai market. The Thai men I was with thought they were the second coming of JC. Really common looking but all well endowed compared to local girls. No work permits just on tourist visas. Can be found every day in the Grace as well.

With an owner like this why would you want to continue working there? Lots of teaching jobs available that provide the proper paperwork. Check out www.ajarn.com

Apply for a double entry visa. You will use 1 entry when you first arrive in Thailand from the US and use the second when you arrive from India.

Not a MD or prescribing any medication but Xenical is mainly used for cholestrol reduction. Costs about 55 baht. Available at private hospital pharmacies or larger pharmacies without prescription. A generic Thai compareable to xenical is 5 baht. Most drugs available without prescriptions,but caution should be used when not under Drs. advice.

Previously posted a sarcastic view of the new laws and seems some high reeking officials from another board took it for what it was in print. My appoligies to the forum and members for trolling. Fact is it will affect local ex-pats more than others who think Thailand is only 100sqm around Suk 4 for 1 week a year. Everyone outside these zones will be living in a world regulated for the reasons we choose here rather than birth countries to spend our time and $$. There is hope though as bar assoc. across the country are forming to fight it. It's not cast in stone yet. If it gets cast and sends country down it should give a wake up in next election. Too many people will be affected for it not to.
