  1. The same as any other regional cuisine. Healthy if good ingredients are used, unhealthy if not.

     

    Don't buy $1 street food in any country in the world if you want to eat healthily. 

     

     

  2. My neighbor's son just went back to school to start Prathom 6, his mother came over and asked if I could help him by going through some O Net exams papers some weekends because he has O Net exams at some point towards the end of the school year. Apparently they they have O Net after school classes for an hour every day, but that could be a translation error.

     

    I have never heard of O Net exams before.

     

    What are they?

    What subjects are they tested in?

    When is it?

    What do the results mean or go towards? (their high school entrance for example)

    I thought they did P6 exams at the end of P6 that sees them be accepted into high school, do they still do these too?

     

    Thanks.

    Fair enough...but who's out & about at midnight without at least a few hundred pocket baht

     

    Quite a lot of people nowadays.

     

    ATMs are disappearing, we have none near us, not even at the 7-11 or gas station. We scan for everything everywhere..... except for at the 7. The only place we use cash is the 7. We take out 900thb whenever near a (rare) ATM, but if that's gone and we haven't been then it's a 6km round trip to the ATM. We live around 5km outside of a major city.

  4. They won't allow it if married to the mother, they will insist you get a marriage extension instead. The reason is the seasoning of funds, it isn't needed for the child based extension, so those with families could use it as a backway into not having to season the 400k. 

     

    This caused issues for a friend whose wife was transferred overseas for a 2 year contract and the foreign husband and children stayed in Thailand. They refused to issue a child extension because he was still married to the mother, and refused a marriage extension because he was not living together with the wife. 

     

    In the end he had to pay for an agent in another province that got him a marriage extension in that province for a large fee. 

  5. It is part of why I left the States. 

     

    24/7 bombardment of meds, health insurance and how to sue people everywhere you look everywhere you go.  

     

    If you don't take meds you will die!

    You will lose everything if you step outside your house without health insurance!

    Somebody looked at you? You can sue them! Contact a lawyer now! 

     

    My younger brother is on about 17 different meds a day that I doubt he even needs.

    Your one isn't a trickle charger however if its left plugged in its not going to overcharge. 

     

    It charges up the battery,  either by trickle or non-trickle. :biggrin:

     

    Using it once or twice a week should keep the battery healthier and last longer, right?
