Why are dogs smarter than women?

Dogs don't bark at their master.

MsSabai, which travel agent in Thongsala did you book this trip through?

i'm doing a visa run tonight. which travel shop did you book it from so i can avoid it?

Where are you going? Burma or Penang?

Burma

mssabai, you booked the trip through a travel agent here on the island? You should let him or her know about the crazed driver. And be sure to let the agent know that you are a long-term resident, not a tourist and that if this continues you will not be booking with their agency anymore.

long term resident? then stay here legally. I havent done a visa run in 11 years. no workpermit? no visa? no rights. that is the heart of your problem

visa runs are legal. i stay here legally and do them every 3 months. if i didn't then i'd be here illegally.

mine. because you have to look twice before you see what it really is. just like the islands.

I would like to increase my income a little bit and seeing how work is limited for farangs I was wondering if anyone has suggestions for online type employment.

I don't trust advertisements that claim you can make millions from your computer. I would like to stay clear of the scams if at all possible.

I hoping on a word of mouth type thing here. Anyone???

yeah i went yesterday, and i'm going again at 1 today when they start up again. good stuff. i like when there is something to do on this island other than sit around all day avoiding the heat.

i've got a boat in the water

How many of you guys work for half the year in the Middle East and then spend the other half of the time in Thailand? I'm hearing about more and more people doing it and was wondering how I might get into something like that. Would like to talk to someone that is doing it now.

Hellboy

doesn't seem to be there anymore.

i just booked a flight today. i also have to pay 350 baht for an infant. for a no frills airline they sure do get a lot of money out of you.

I loved the book. It did read a bit like a text book, but it was full of facts.

Yes, well Achaan Phasuk is indeed an academic and her books are most commonly read by other academics, graduate students in Southeast Asian area studies, professional bureaucrats, and foreign service professionals. They are not commonly seen being read on the beach in Pattaya or Phuket. They are indeed used as text books at places like Cornell and Monash. The book in question as little, if anything, to do with Cambodia.

i didn't mind it reading like a text book as i studied criminal justice at uni. the book made perfect sense to me. sometimes i prefer a good academic read. this book was really good.

Anyway, what's your thoughts on this book from those who have read it?

I loved the book. It did read a bit like a text book, but it was full of facts. I loved how they go into how fishing boats line their hulls with some kind of rubber bladder and smuggle oil into the country. There is a huge percentage of boats doing it. All to avoid tax.

I also found the illegal lottery to be extremely interesting. Their operations are so well planned out

and of course to Casinos in Bangkok are something to marvel.

I highly recommend this book people with an interested in illegal economies.

Talk to Andy at Phangan Beach Resort. They are hiring right now. He said he needs someone in the bar who speaks english. PM if you want his number.

I think this is the thread here

my wife has been working on that same one for more than a year now. she stopped a few months ago. now that i told her someone paid that much i think she will get around to finishing it.

how did you find a buyer?

bkkblueeyes, i don't know if you can get it in thailand or not but i use to use Ambien. back then i needed a prescription. in fact i was a bit addicted to it for a while because it worked so well. it will knock you out. now i'm chemical free.

I gave up alcohol a few years ago and now sleep like a baby.

you wake up ever 2 hours in your own urine, crying?

does no one on the islands take their kids to the doctors?

Can anyone recommend a good pediatrician on the islands, preferably Phangan? I just had a kid and would like to get him all checked out by someone that specializes in kids. I also want to find someone that I can go to on a regular basis for check-ups.

glad i saved all mine from last year

i've got a portable aircon unit for my room and it is working wonders now. in fact i'm going to go sit in front of it now.

For goodness sake dude find the money somehow a purchase an aircon, as soon as possible. We are talking maybe a BTU9000 for a small room, around Bt15 to 185000, shop around at your local Tesco Lotus, Marko, Big C, etc, you could even find a better deal. Good luck, go for it. A small price to pay for your little one.

i live in a house that is not completely closed. the electric is shared by everyone on the block, and the land lady won't allow it. I am going to borrow a portable one from a friend soon and try to conceal the hose that goes outside.

i was ambidextrous when i was young. during the writing exercises i would cheat the system by switching hands when one got tired. the teachers caught on and made me use my right hand only. now i can't write very well with my left hand. i'm pretty upset about it. i wish i still had that ability.
