Rasseru

I have read many publications that say the moat is 1 square kilometer.

How can one measure length in square anything? For example, how many square centimeters tall are you?

Rasseru, good morning. The post is probably shorthand for the area within the moat being 1.0 sq. km. He said it poorly, though. 2.5 square kilometers, not even a square mile. . . . .

Good morning, PeaceBlondie. You may be right. I took the observation to be in response to the question posed by the OP, which concerns the length of the moat.

Most of the hostesses in these dispicable places are making a few extra baht to pay for the groceries and school fees for the kids.

In that case, should they be thought of as disparate?

Can u crochet, too?

Why, does he strike you as the crotchety type?

Just a thought for you to consider, and perhaps others to follow up on, but I can't help but think there must be places here where you could have sandals made to order, at not that great a cost.

Thai Visa members are all here for the temples!

That's how they may start, but once their temples get rubbed, matters change, and the temple rubbers often find it easy to move on to rubbing everything else, both of and from them.

If celebrating a then-recent wedding will be a part of the festivities, wild horses couldn't keep me away.

It seems I lied. Whether or no celebrating the wedding will be part of the festivities, it looks like said wild horses will be dragging me to Phuket instead.

Y'all have fun.

I doff my hat and bow in appreciation to you, Mapguy.

Prayer works as well as anything.

Well I still got it

Gotta be a lesson in there somewhere.

Bravo, sir!

Is there preventative you can take for Dengue like Malaria.

No.

How to find out if this dog has rabies ?

I don't know where you would need to take it to be tested, but the only way to test if the dog has rabies is to kill it and examine certain parts of its brain. If the dog has had its rabies shots, though, it may be that testing it for rabies is not necessary.

Place on Sridonchai. Name Homitech (I think) . . .

As either a correction or an addition, I would put Homikitch on the list.

I worked there for two years after many years as an investigative reporter in the U.S. They're [sic] standards for writing articles are quite low.

Your post is quite convincing.

I wonder what the Aussie guys sentance would be if he shot a Thai.

Interesting. Are you suggesting he might have received a lighter sentence because his target was an American?

Fantastic!

. . .

It finally happened, after two years here ive finally become a stereotypical grumpy farang!

Also fantastic is that after one year on TV forum you have made your first post! Congratulations!

I am pleased, Mr. Bentley, to inform you that, courtesy of Mr. Bill's forceful application of a blunt object on another thread, I would be delighted to accept your kind invitation. Please be aware, however, that I will be arriving at your doorstep only an hour or two after completing a twenty-six or so hour journey home from the other side of the Pacific Ocean and may barely resemble my usual self.

I know every expat, retiree, tourist, backpacker, worthless individual -- but I repeat myself -- and English teacher in Chiang Mai is very interested . . .

I'll be there, my sardonic friend.

I wear shorts here all year round, so don't get too excited.

Ulysses G., the man himself, in shorts, all year round? Bound to be someone somewhere who finds that incredibly exciting.

I have a favourite Chinese restaurant that sometimes serves Peking Duck. Alas and alack, however, I cannot recall the name of the place and, truth be told, I think I have never even learned it. I know where it is and I just go there when I feel like it, so the name is -- or was until now -- not important. In any case, here is how you get there. If you drive through the Night Bazaar and turn left at the intersection at the the end, you will find the restaurant perhaps two or three hundred meters down the road on the left side. I think the restaurant also has an entrance in back, on Anusarn market. I have only had the Peking Duck there once, but it was quite good. I have tried to order it other times and been told they didn't have it, so you can't find it there all the time.

Tried Anaknong today, unfortunately they could not print on both sides of the paper

I'm very surprised about this, because I must have had well over a hundred different books printed or copied, in many different formats, by Anaknong and all were printed on both sides of the paper.

. . . . .

. . . . .

p1p: Dont know, dont think there was a miscommunication though.. I asked her if they could print books from PDF, she said yes, then i opened a book from the counter and pointed on both sides of the paper asking if they could print on both sides of the paper. She said "no, only print on one side". Maybe they have changed practice, or maybe I was talking to the wrong person. Seems like a lot of peope have had duplex printing done at Anaknong, so it is actually a bit weird.

. . . . .

Like p1p, I am very surprised about this too. The books I had made there were also made up of two-sided copies. Not only that, but at my request they were painstakingly copied differently from the two-sided originals -- that is, whereas the originals had pages 1 and 2 (and so forth) on one sheet of paper, I had them make the copies so that the first sheet of paper had a blank page and page 1, the next sheet had pages 2 and 3 (and so forth).

Is is possible that the woman at Anaknong was telling you only that the printer they would use to print the PDF file could print only single-sided copies? (From your report that seems very possible.) If so, that would not be the same as her saying that they could not make your books with double-sided copies. The printer they use for printing a PDF file could well be different from the photocopier they use for making copies. In that case, they should be able to print out the PDF file in a single-sided copy, then from that single-sided copy make, by hand (as they had to in my case) or otherwise, double-sided copies for using in your books.

I know that this issue has come up and been discussed at least once here before. I don't remember the details and cannot help you out afresh, but you might want to search for earlier threads on the subject, to see what was said then.

As far as I can tell from earlier searches, the issue has only been raised once before, and that thread had no useful info, only a bunch of off topic posts. The only useful info was an idea to go to the road between nimanhemin road and the east entrance of CMU, as supposedly, this area had a lot of copy / print shops. However, I have been up and down the area for several hours today and was unable to find any such shop

On the chance that it is different from what you found, here is a link to one of the earlier threads:

I can't guarantee that this is still true, but when researching making some DVD's for sale a few years back I found that in the USA it was illegal to offer for sale a device (other than a computer I guess) that could use PAL. They had to be strictly NTSC.

really? hope they still able to control piracy doing the same thing now

I hate inaccurate posts so I have searched to find where I got my information and for the life of me I cannot find it. I have found stores selling PAL in the U.S. so my previous post may not be accurate. I also found that the U.S. is changing in 2009 to a new standard called ATSC.

As none of this helps the OP I guess just disregard

While we are in the middle of posting posts to be disregarded, I had an at least equally disregardable thought about yours, silverhawk_usa, so let me share. I wonder if what you found a few years ago might not have been that DVD players that could play non-U.S. region DVDs -- remember how legit DVDs were, and may still be, made region-specific, so you could play a particular DVD only on a player made for that region? -- were not allowed to be sold in the U.S.A. Just a random thought.
