I taught, on a voluntary level, no pay, conversational English to High School students in Nakhon Nowhere for some time.
The kids were great, happy and eager to learn. The teachers??? those that didnt turn up in the morning who werent at least a bit alcohol affected, sure were after the loooong lunch breaks, thats those who bothered to return after lunch.. The curriculum,,, Thai history, the Monarchy, Thai History, the Monarchy, Thai History, the Monarchy, oh, and a little bit of maths. Now the wifes granddughter has home work, I watch her maths now, as before she was doing it herself, and always got 100%, till I checked,,, on one occasion she was marked as getting 20 sums correct.. 7 were in fact wrong. the teacher, when asked about this, claimed she was absent that day, and a trainee marked the paper.. Granddaughter refuted this,, teacher did, Pop,, she said. Face.....???

I would recommend to get tint on the side and rear windows, to what degree of tint is up to you, ask to be shown samples first. You do need it for the sun glare here. I would not recommend you let them tint the actual windscreen. Apart from a strip some 10 centimetres or so wide across the top.. My windscreen was, unbeknown to me when I bought it ,fully tinted. Shortly after I had occasion to drive a friend some 50 kms one night, to catch his plane.. I had a lot of difficulty with night vision, it seemed the glue on the tint on the windscreen was causing problems. The next morning I got the wifes hair dryer out, heated up the windscreen and peeled the tint off, then rubbed the remainder of the glue off using some mineral turpentine... Can see the road at night now.

I wish you all the best should you be unfortunate enough to decide on a Lenovo. I have owned three computers in my short life of using these new fangled machines, and my present one, a Lenovo, costing just under 19000 baht some 6 months ago has aged me considerably ..Three times it has been back for repair, at a cost, so far, in excess of 7000 baht. Warranty you ask, whats a warranty in Thailand look like.??? I have a friend who also bought one of these Chinese disasters, and has suffered similar problems. As he has far more money then me, he has bought another, different make of course, and uses his Lenovo as a door stop now. Says it works very good in that use.

I am on my 3rd computer, and by the way, this Lenovo would have to be the worst of the worst, as a friend has also found out.
However, my present problem is... in trying to type in my e mail address to connect with someone new..
Each of my computers have, over time, broken down in as much I cannot type that strange A letter that goes into your e mail address, you know the one
I mean , where you put your e mail name.....John smithA gmail.com........(you see I cant type the actual letter, that is situated in the upper case of the numeral 2 on the keyboard.
Twice I have this fixed, but the problem reappears Any suggestions please.

I just pray for the day other countries impose on Thais resident in those countries, the same rules, restrictions and limitations as farangs here have to suffer from. In my home country Thais, and any other foreign person is entitled to free public hospital treatment, full citizenship after some two years, or alternatively, permanent residency visa after two years,no restrictions at all,, disability and sick benefits if unable to work, with no time limits as to residency,, and age pension after qualifying period, ei.. after 35 years residence a full pension, and pro rata for less time,,, and that does not mean living in my country full time, extended holidays/ visits to ones own country does not count as time lost. Of course employment in any occupation one chooses and is suitable for is OK, as is ownership of land... I see Thais swanning around driving expensive cars, owning large homes, getting free education for their kids , I dont blame them individually, but I curse the stupidity of my government, no matter what party their from. As for inoculations for the virus, its free, and its not chinese dishwater either.

Im always fascinated by those posts about the benefits of bum guns vs toilet paper.
Intellectual discussions of that sort are great.. In fact I sit for hours at my favourite watering hole,
sipping on soda water of course, just waiting for one of those mental giants to sidle up alongside me
and give me the benefit of their vast knowledge.

I hope moderators allow this joke...I know it origin is from You Tube, by the Late President Ronald Regan, but it s a good one,, so please allow it.
In Russia it is very hard, apparently to own a motor vehicle, and the same with getting any type of service.
In fact the waiting list to purchase a motor vehicle is ten years.
Despite this, a determined man saved the required price, and went to the motor dealers and ordered a motor car.
Paid cash in full, given his receipt and confirmation papers, and was told to come back in ten years to collect his car.
Do I come back in the morning, or the afternoon, he asked.
Whats the difference, said the dealer, its in ten years time.
Well you see, said the man, the plumber is coming in the morning.

Space is a vacuum, which is why it so fascinates this government, the similarities with their brain, or rather lack thereof, is remarkable.

A mate and I both registered with Expat on 2nd August.. Both of us got confirmation of registration. Last we have heard.
We both live in small town in Nakhon Nowhere, where there is quite a good and reasonably large public hospital. Our wives heard that people there were being inoculated. Wives went to check.. All vaccine gone they were told, it was given to those who had donated money to help build a new wing onto the hospital And only those whose donations were in large sums, unlike ours. Asked what type of vaccine was used..Pfizer, they were told. No restrictions on age, health or whatever to those who were inoculated,, large cash donations in the past being only criteria. We have both further registered on two other web sites,, and have received confirmation, but again advised no vaccine of any type now available, that previously issued to respective hospital used, and no word of when/if more supplies forthcoming. Hey T.I.T. And before the Thai lovers brigade jump in, I was an overnight patient at this hospital some months ago. My treatment consisted on receiving blood pressure checks every four or so hours, overnight stay in a public general ward,, no food offered or given..Cost 4800 baht. I dont ask, or expect free or preferential treatment.

There is this thing called an ATM card, with an associated PIN number for savings accounts, and some men even trust their wives to know and access their accounts. He was obviously one. Got it now???

Went to extend my visa other day at a certain Immigration office, near Bangkok.. Noticed a farang with Thai female partner nearby.
My wife started to chat to lady.....Told me after we had left there was a problem for them. It turns out the farang went to his
bank days ago to get letter as to his account, and only then discovered his wife had recently withdrawn 200,000 baht, un beknown to him,
putting him under the 400,000 threshhold.. He had been too frightened to go to Immigration, and was now some 2 week
overdue. When I last noticed them, the man was sitting outside on his own, looking very dejected. The wife was apparently,
inside pleading his case. And people wonder why some farangs drink???

Finally, after much effort, managed to register.. First wouldnt accept my passport number, said it was invalid???, then couldnt get scanned copy of both my passport and visa page onto the allowed sight, so just did my passport, then when finished and tried to submit,, kept getting failed reply,,,,persisted and eventually OK.
Got e m ail confirmation back OK, states for those resident outside BKK area and adjacent, I will be notified where.when to attend for the jab, probably Sinovac. Not too thrilled about that, but as virus cases increasing in our area,.... Nakhonnowhwere, ... I suppose anything is better than nothing. Keep trying everyone. If you do not acknowledge receipt of notice of where/when to attend in email , within 24 hours of being sent, you will be cancelled, so make sure you keep checking your emails...

Well this all very heartening, and Im sure the Thai families of deceased persons, from this Chinese Covid, will also be pleased to note that other countries have it worse. So reassuring.

You want a Lenovo product????? My 6 month old Lenovo laptop has been back 4 times for repair so far,, the costs of which have exceeded the original purchase price.. When I asked the retailer about the warranty, I received the usual blank stare. I am now collecting empty bottles to cash in to buy myself a nice axe, Im going to make the next repairs myself.

When I was 10 years of age, I jumped off the 30 foot diving tower,, and was given a set of water wings. I wore them all the time for many a day. Unfortunately I cant find a photo of me with them on to show the world. I bet the Thais would be sooooooo jealous.

Maybe someone has been taking the cream off the top of the cake and our hardworking, diligent, intelligent, honest I.Os are missing out somewhat.
