Great to hear from a scientist. ????

Thank you

UPDATE:

I changed the PTT station to Esso. Believe or not i observed great differences. No more extra fuel consuming. Better engine performance. No more PTT from now on! 

Another suggestion:

go to DLT with someone who can speak thai. Explain them the situation and ask them what to do and what document do you need. 

she can give someone authority (probably i misspelled it, sorry) a lawyer can do it via online signature. I think it will cost you around 5000 - 8000K for the lawyer and all paper work. Maybe little bit less.

14 short trips.

 

 

Well, after reading or posting many things in here.. after your 14 short trips here.. if you still dont know or cannot decide what to do, my advice to you is stay away from thailand OR come and live for a while and decide.

There is no way you can give a important decision like this  by other people's suggestions.. everyone in this forum probably has different good and bad experiences about thailand. Which will be the same for you.

Just closing your eyes and sell or forget everything in your hometown and come here for living is a crazy idea. Dont do that, thats something you cannot go back and fix.

Im here for 17 yrs and still have a hpuse back in my country. My brother take cares of it. Although i started to think to rent it and use the money. But selling it, no. Still wouldnt dare to do that. Thailand is a country which wants foreigner money not the person self.

So just come here for a couples of years and see by yourself, experience it by yourself, live it and feel it. Dont listen others, listen to your heart after 2 3 years living here. All i can say is if you dont have a good income, thailand will be very difficult than you can imagine.

Good luck

4598 posts you posted and now asking this question.........

really?

so you never been to thailand... stayed here long time... learned what you can do, what you cannot do... really!?

use the mobile app. Super easy takes 5min to do.

screenshot in every step. when you are registering, the app automatically recognize your immigration area which is great. i always use the app

search 'section 38' you will see it. its like blue color and says 38 on it.

i believe any ID showing your name with a photo will do. 

my friend told me once he used his photo of the passport in his phone.

as a former interpol agent worked in thailand and know many thai police, also currently working with the royal thai airforce  i say that you CAN record any police activity from a safe distance not disturbing the police on duty.

when you are recording;

*you cannot get involved with the investigation.. 

*you cannot disturb the police officer or get into his investigation or personal space...

*you cannot get involve to the case if you are not related to.. 

*you can do the things you cannot do only with his permission.. 

if the case is about you yes, you CAN record. 

*you can record only the case and related to it. 

PS: there are many things about this which i cannot write here because its lot of details but the info i gave you is the main idea

and yes, the biggest police in my city literary sitting next to me and reading this and drinking our beer and talking about our together old days working together in interpol

If you go to their website, you'll see it's kitchen ganja that they sell, leaf only. So not exactly the same thing as the o.p. is talking about. But, yes I would guess that it  will likely be something like this if psychoactive cannabis is allowed to  take off on a commercial scale, the large corporations will want a monopoly on it and they'll have laws in place like they do with opening a small craft brewery that make it prohibitively expensive for but the very wealthy. The ganja companies will probably want to do what they do with the rice farmers, pay them not even enough to produce the crop and then also get money from them again loaning them money to buy excessive amounts of fertilizer and weed killer from agri-chemical outlest they also own. The farmers won't be able to sell ganja to anyone else but Pfizer or Boon Rawd Brewing Company or Thai Tobacco Monopoly or whoever ends up being the national ganja behemoth. In further depressing visions of the non-future I have beheld  you won't even be able to legally grow at home soon because the corporations won't want you encroaching on their profits.

yep, it for tea. not the one people want ahhaha

lazzada has many rolling

you can plant at home. i started that. Its really easy. but just be careful with male ones. you dont want them seriously. 

just check youtube. have great amount of videos to teach you. 

and thailand climate is really good for it. 

just be careful about harvesting time. takes time to understand the really good time to harvest. Also after harvesting and when resting, it needs some kind of special care. just cannot leave hang in your room. 

i plant some in my home. if you want i can give free after plant but just planted will take some time

its so easy to plant yourself.

There must be an 'out' clause in the contract of employment.

 

It would be highly illegal to demand someone to perform any work.

 

This would be seen by the court similar to slave labour therefore illegal. this subject is based on one of the tenants of human rights - the right to come and go as one pleases. 

yes, need to read the contract carefully. If there is nothing mentions the only thing to do is tell them you cannot or dont want to work here and ask immediate termination or 2 month period termination. this issue can be solved by 2 sides understanding. Most likely nothing will happen when you tell them you cannot or dont want to work here anymore. If they start to make problems the best way is give them a notification of 2 months and just do your work in this 2 months get your money and go. 

Hi,

its better to check the contract she signed. is there anything saying like have 2-3 months testing period. In school contracts its a very common term-item in the contract. 80% its there. If it's there just tell the school you dont want to work here using that item in the contract. They cannot say anything. That item works 2 way, for you and for them.

If you don't have that in your contract. You can inform them that you will not accept the contract and give them 2 months or 2 week time to replace you. 

You still don't have work permit yes. But the thing is both sides signed a contract and in the processing paper work status. And i believe it's you slowing down the paper work in this situation not them. so actually you are working for them and technically yes, if they want they will not let you go that easy. 

On the other hand, if i remember correct and if its still like that, even though you signed the contract you still cannot work or go to work there till you get your work permit. But again as i mentioned you are in paper work process so keep in your mind you are still working for them officially and legally.

suggestions: 

1) just go to the school director and talk to him and tell him you don't want to be a teacher anymore. (i think this is the best one) in most cases director says ok. 

2) tell them you lost someone back in home and need to go back to your country.

3) tell them for some reason you cannot get your work permit or kurusapa license. 

4) tell them you won the lottery and dont want to be a teacher anymore.

5) it is not good time to find a new school, i think all schools are started already and have their teachers. So, if its possible just go back to your old work. Although im not sure if its professional or not because you left there and going back. it seems little bit... you know.

6) when you find a new school try to observe better i dont know you are new here or not but many schools' will act you like your at the bottom of this thing, like a dog. seriously. so dont expect too much from other schools. sometimes no headache is better than getting a high salary.. 

good luck.

Cx30 can use E10 91 rated fuel just don't keep switching from one fuel to the other is a recommendation.

im not sure. When i clearly asked the dealer what should i use.. he answered me E85 / 95 / E20 nothing else. i also checked the book and manual all, they also saying these 3. 

so i will stick with 95. im really happy with it but my wallet is not. lol

Something else I forgot to mention was some drivers are unaware of extra fuel used with the use of the air-con in a vehicle.

 

Its been very hot recently so I don't know about other but air-con in my truck is cranked up much more during this time of the year. 

 

A certain % of extra fuel will be used when cranking up the air-con. 

yes, AC is something in my mind. And yes the weather is hot these days and im using the AC high level.

I also have a CX30. Was informed that E20 and E85 were not as good for the engine as gasohol 95. What about 91, by comparison? Seems to be about the same price as 95.

 

Anyone have any clear answers on that? 

cannot use 91 for cx30.

like i said im using 95. i suggest that to you too.

Not with the MG, and kpL was marginal difference between grades, for my driving habits.  As stated, MG was specifically designed (tuned) for E85, to maximize performance economically.

thats great. i would stay with E85 too..

For mazda cx30 all 3 (e20 95 and e85) can be used. No problem. But i must say car gives more when use 85. although i must buy it more often than 95 or E20.

I was just talking about this exact thing with my wife this morning, then I read this here.  I have noticed the same thing for about two weeks now, but with using the diesel B7 ,  from PTT.   I'm only about 5km from work, and i just puzt around the small town trying to conserve fuel,  but my fuel consumption is noticeably up.

yes.. it seems you are having the same thing as me. Its like somethings wrong... for some reason im consuming more fuel than before... 

im pretty sure PTT doesnt do any fishy thing but i also witnessed by my own eyes that PTT stations in small very small places add some water in it...
