and thai people can't understand why most of the world does not take them seriously .

Amusing Thailand, LOL

I got Singstar & it's not nearly what my daughter wanted in the way of available songs. No Katy Perry or Miley Cyrus.

I'm assuming it's got to do with licensing. She can sing a few Adele songs on Singstar, so I'm assuming Adele is on a label owned by Sony.

Anyone know of any PS3 games that have more of what a teenager would like?

If it's in Thai, a plus, but since Sony is Japanese & most of their stuff seems to be geared toward the American market, I doubt that's possible.

I also consider using the Singstar microphone with her 2006 Thinkpad. I checked and it does recieve audio from the mic., but I'd need to find a program to allow the karaoke aspect of it.

It's probably available all over the place on CDs in Thailand, but I'm in Falahngland.

I didn't have this particular type of project on my mind when I came over back in December.

Wow, I would be very appreciative if my children were to ship me off to the LOS for the final years.

I'm so bored and sad about the economic, social e political situation in Italy, and I don't see a future for me here anymore.

No matter how bad it is at home, I am betting it's better than having no job in Thailand, or a lower income job than the one you have now.

If you fall on the bones of your ass in Thailand, there will be no one there to pick you up, no social security or other sort of dole.

The petroleum smell has been occurring for many weeks.... noticeable mainly at night .....it seems to come from the Laem Chabang direction....

They burn the flare off at night so people can't see the black smoke.

I spoke to a Microsoft rep here and they confirmed that they have no plans to officially release the One or Xbox Live in Thailand.

Can't you just buy one in Singers?

It's probably due the thousands of fireworks they just set off there for NYE.

Isn't PTT the Petroleum Authority of Thailand?

Employers are too cheap to fly you over for an interview, & too stupid to interview you over Skype or another Video Call setup. What does that tell you about how well they're going to pay you?

Bernard Trink summed it up pretty good back in the 90s. Thais are like 14yos pretending to be adults, and Falahngs are adults pretending to be 14yos.

an American with a Thai girl

Was he wearing a stars & stripes shirt or something?

What about their page and their watches?

I thought I was going to try for a citizenship application and it just never came to fruition, even after 15 years working in the LOS.

I am surprised it works for you, since the Thais use a different time zone.

January, in Fortune.

temples here are a bit like social welfare in the civilized countries... as anybody can join and ... relax

Yes, they do have this redeeming quality.

It's the same as Christian religion at home IMHO. They are full of shit, but at least they help out the indigent along the way.

Truth be told, their whole objective of helping the poor is to pounce on the poor and convert them to Christianity or Buddhism.

I guess they have some sort of quota on the amount of people/souls they coax into heaven.

Yes it does. To be more accurate "now" is the closest English word for the Thai word for cold.

No, Naaw is cold , NOW is rotten :

knowledge of how to drive on the right.

Don't you mean driving on the left?

now your over here annoying the Thais with your bad driving habits.

You are?

You do lose by applying for the extension early, as they extend you 30 days from the day you make the application to extend, not at the end of your current stamped exit date.

She'll need to be a Thai citizen, or at least a legal resident, to get put on the house registration.

Yes, it can be done now, but during the entire time I lived and worked in Thailand, it was not an option.

They only have one swift code. They can tell by the account number which branch it goes to.

"please no flamming"

How about flimming?

I wouldn't want to move to Thailand and try to support a family on an English teacher's salary. You won't even be able to find full time work at first, which would mean holding down several part-time jobs to make ends meet.

Get your degree as an Engineer and start there.

And don't go on a scooter to haad rin if its your first time riding one !

or anyplace else
