It was all over after a few hours. But man ,was I sick!

Any idea, what  might have caused this?  Bacterial...? 

I know a foreigner who did the whole program in Bangkok. Not sure jow he got in and how much he paid? His Thai isn't great, so I reckon that there are English courses...

OP, what about getting help with the translation? Does the court help Plaintiffs?

I'm not getting why the stuff was worth 8,000 Baht

Hmmm, I am told that there is Forex trading via Dubai returning 10% a month. Seems to be working but my financial radar is beeping warnings. Anyone have any information?

No, but you cAn do this with  a n y  reputable CFD Broker. IC Markets or whatever. But it's highly risky, speculative and if you get it right, it will be a lot more than just 10%.

OTOH, no one can or should bamboozle you into tinking that it will like "on auto pilot".

 5 pdq. Wanna give it a try?

When running M$ OS (i.e. Windows 10), you previously have accepted the fact that you will not use your computer; M$ will.

 

Let the system update, ad infinitum, until it is ready for your use (should be a microsecond or two, before the next update cycle).

 

P.S. I use Kubuntu Linux on my laptop. I also have a Windows 10 VM. I was surprised that recent updates took less than an hour. I use the VM, if I'm unlucky, about once every 6 months.

Yeah, LINUX can boot from a memory stick. Bloatware sucks. (Am using an old Thinkpad X-131 E Chromebook. Bought it on Ebay for $ 50. it will boot in 7 seconds and power down in less than 2 seconds.

Is a return ticket (out of the Philippines) a requirement by their Immigration service? If not - like in Malaysia - booke one-way flights with budget airlines!

My suggestion to him would be to go to Vietnam to teach.  They have a propensity to learn English there as they realize the importance to be competitive entails learning English. The pay is also much better in Vietnam.

Be warned - Vietnamese are OCD when it comes to money matters (and the traffic is much worse). Chances are, you will be suckered, lied to and ripped off. Thailand is the more relaxed place. 

Many holidays in July? What to do? Mmm. Ah, yes. Let's divide the salary by the number of working days!

When will people start to get assessed at point of origin??

The carriers are going to get pissed off with this after a while

Why's that? Are you saying that they have to fly the rejected passengers back at their own expense?!?

Unlike when the airline overlooked an issue with their passports, travellers must pay for their one-way flight back

FUZZY KEN's - is he still in business? The website is down.

Hi All

what's the name of this bookshop? Does someone have a phone #? Do you think they would send a parcel if I add a few hundred Baht?

Years ago, they were well stocked with crime fiction. Amlonging for some novels...

Cheers,

The cheapest option is probably Transferwise

Another option would be a SWIFT transfer

It's not the $ 50 or whatever fee, it's the ability to do this online while being in Thailand.

Me, I have HSBC UK letting me send SWIFT wires over the phone for 5 pounds extra or online.

TransferWise - I'll pass that on. ** She has a regular Bangkok Bank account. ACH is great once it's set up. But an ACH turning into an overseas wire seems stretching it. But perhaps one will have to send a FED wire to Bangkok Bank's NYC branch?

Well, I will be using it in my apartment with air con.

I've ended up winning a BE Quiet Dark 550 W PS at auction for about 850 THB and may end up with a Corsair PS, too with a maximum bid of 23 Euros, too.

Would a sound card free the CPU up? 

Well, I've been talking to a Math teacher, 42 for a few days. Counseling her how to handle her debt issues. (Write down every Baht you spend, go get a TRUE 4 Mbit SIM on Lazada, vsalid for a year @ < 1,800 THB etc.).

Her response: "Will you buy it for me?"

Hello, lady, I haven't even met you in person and you want me to spend 1,800 Baht?!? Have a nice life!

Graphics card: Nvidia 970 GTX

16 GB RAM, i5-46xx CPU, unknown main board

Q: Can you recommend an ATX tower, new or used?

Q: Which brand of power supply is top quality? Corsair? Be Quiet Black? Thermaltake? 

Can you recommend loudspeakers, or are you all using headphones? I had KLIPSCH in the U.S. and TEUFEL in Germany and liked them both. But doubt they will be for sale over here...

Cheers!

Asking for a friend, cannot call the hotline due to wifi issues (Google Hangouts works well for me)

A semi-domestic wire to Bangkok Bank's NYC branch, to be forwarded to Bangkok Bank in Thailand?

Can she do internation wire payments online?

Can she request a cashier's check and get that mailed to Thailand?

Hope someone knows Bank of America and has answers.

Ta!

I loved Georgetown. Street food and all. (I care for Indian food, too).

But be warned and shun the Thai consulate. Kota Bharu is much better for a VISA run

This is news to me. Regrettably, I haven't been propositioned yet when in Laos ???? 

Howdy,

did you get the school's tax form(s)? I haven't. It's now the end of July. They promised to handle the filing, but there has been no payment.

If you have been working the whole year, we are talking thousands of Baht. Go get your refunds!

Errm, what to do if they don't comply with the tax law? The deadline was back in March. I just wonna get paid now

Couldn't add text to the link.

Well, I've been eating lots of raw peanuts (BIG C sells 500 grams for 43 and 44 Baht). They stimulate regularity and fill you up nicely. Hope this will help someone wanting to lose weight. 

Add Psyllium Husk, mix it with cold milk or let it turn the milk into some kind pf pudding, then eat it with fruit. It will also give your gut bacteria a workout. And lead to weight loss.

The docu is against eggs, but I found them to be great for a snack. Boiled eggs that is. 

A friend in Vietnam says, this can be done.

It's only clothes and shoes, nothing valuable. 

Q: has anyone done this across borders? IT has been done successfully within Vietnam. People do this all the time!

Just asking, as the bus might change at the HUE border? Someone might know!

Cheers,

Vietnam. Take Thanh Hoa City. I know a new hotel where you can get a long-stay discount, paying less than 7 million VND per month including tall utilities, of course. A bus willtake you to the beach. Renta motorcycle,m if you aren't afraid of autistic maniacs driving (as if they were drunk and you were invisible). 

Food - expect way less taste or bring a dozen sauces wherever you go. You may not get ketchup with those fries.

VISA: buy one for 6 months, re-entry, it's easy. (Hello Thailand, wake up)

You may miss Thailand after a few months though
