  1. Excellent post Greg. I have no desire to own a franchise yet I still found it all very interesting.

    I may have an idea as to why you aren't selling many foot longs. I couldn't find prices for them at the Soi 7 location, at least not where I'd expect them to be coming from the states where they are usually right next to the 6" price. I don't eat there frequently at all, but stopped in a few days ago to grab a foot long tuna but only saw the price of the 6" on the board. Deciding I was better off with the 6" i just asked for a tuna, but the waitress asked me if I wanted the foot long so I caved even though I didn't know the price. Many people may refuse though as they may not understand what the waitress is asking or don't like to order things where the price is not clearly listed.

    While you're in a sharing mood, do you mind letting us know how the Subway fares against that Taco joint of yours across the street?

  2. You can use one of several programs to re-size it, IrfanView is free I believe and quite easy to use. You can also email them to me if you want and I'll do it for you... msg me if that would be easier.

    Edit: Oh Lord, if there are any anal probes involved please DO NOT email them to me!

  3. But the truth is I still love her, and I still trust her enough that she will do all her best to send the money back.. I have absolutely no illusion we will get back together! And I will snap out of it..

    I hope you're a troll, because if you're serious you need someone to smack some sense into young man!

  4. There's also a publication that lists all rooms under about 30k/month. It's available in Bookazines and is excellent. I wish I'd have found it when I first came here.

    The information this forum provides on Bangkok is pretty poor.

    A publication? Just go to an area you like and walk around if you want to find a room.

    Most Thai style rooms I've seen are between 2k - 5k. The 5k - 10k apartments and condos are more focused towards the English teachers and higher paid office workers.

    Back to the OP, ideal areas are anything along the Skytrain and MRT lines if your friend wants to be able to get around easily and avoid the insane traffic as much as possible. It's easy to find studios apartments (which often times are advertised as 1 bedrooms), harder to find true 1 bedroom or 2 bedroom apartments, unless your looking at renting a condo. In that price range he can likely find a 1 bedroom in a condo towards the ends of the Sukhumvit skytrain line, or along Ratchada (MRT), or a 1 room studio anywhere along the lines, though it's much harder in the very central business and toursit areas.
