I had to Google her...

No, I didn't. This is the first time I'm hearing of this.

That's the only problem these people have?

I just stumbled across now, a bit late I know. Have you been able to grow any artichokes in the mean time? I've been growing a few at our place in Korat. So far, they are doing fine and I should be able to harvest the first fruit within the next 6 months (I assume). This will be their first hot season and after that their first rainy season. Fingers crossed.

Is there a car wash at Terminal 21 in Korat? If yes, where is it? I always assumed, rightly or wrongly, that there is a car wash service in every mall. I know there is one at The Mall, but I'm trying to kill two birds with one stone, hence Terminal 21. Thanks in advance.

I have yet to meet a single Thai who speaks favourably of him.

Looks good on paper, but will it be enforced? Highly unlikely me thinks.

The following is from a friend who reads these posts but isn't a member "high chance you've got some duff variety.. should be flowering heavy now and been doing so for many years"

Some of our Hawaiian lemons grow quite big too, but are more elongated.

And probably look down her snotty nose at those serving her.

I have an extension of stay

Thank you for your replies so far. Due to appointment problems, the HR woman cannot meet me at immigration on Friday as planned to cancel the visa. My next question is, if I simply go to the border (Thai/Cambodia) and leave, won't my visa be automatically cancelled anyways? I have a single entry visa as I didn't plan on travelling in the foreseeable future.

I've tried explaining this to the HR manager, but I can't get her to understand it... Thank you. What you wrote, and my interpretation of the rules, make more sense than what she is saying.

Just a quick question: My employer, soon to be former employer, is going to cancel my WP and visa within the next few days. The HR Manager tells me that I can "stay in Thailand for up to 21 days AFTER the visa has been cancelled and NOT be on overstay". My understanding has been that once the visa is cancelled, i.e. the right to stay in the Kingdom, then we have to leave on the same day. Has this changed or have I completely misunderstood it?

And that's exactly why they keep on doing this, to both us and their own. I know it's easy for us to sit on a forum debating this back and forth, and yes, of course I want to sleep in my own bed, but I also want to be able to look at myself in the mirror every morning for the rest of my life and not feel like a helpless fool who has been taken by a good for nothing, lazy buffalo.

I absolutely agree with you if the person has actually committed a crime. However, if innocent, then I have to disagree with you and say that it's about principles, not money.

1. Remain calm. 2. Whip out phone and record the whole incident, preferably LIVE (still haven't figured out how to do that). 3. Smile and tell him "I'm going to make you famous".

Those are some beasts!

Am looking for a small-ish chipper. Have found Kanto 6.5hp, 6cm, for THB 13,+++ on Lazada. The next biggest I can find is Kanto 15hp, 10cm for THB48,000. Was wondering is there anything in between? For example, 10hp, 10cm (or 8cm). While the first one is exactly what I need now, I can't help but think that in the future it might be too small. The second option above is simply way too much beast for me now and in the future. I'm surprised there isn't anything in between.

Just do everybody a favour and admit that your system is rotten to the core.

Some people recommend peeing (yes, urinating) on citrus trees. I collect my liquids in a 6l bottle, let it sit then for 6 months (to kill off pathogens), mix it in a 60l barrel of water and then pour around the tree drip line. Have good, healthy citrus trees now bearing fruit (don't know if that is because of my premium fluids or just mother nature doing her job).

7) Go back on your meds and stay on them.

True, but they don't have that one thing that makes this land so great: a Thai smile.

They ARE the stars.

Nothing new or unusual about this. The vast majority of 'em fall into this category, unfortunately. That 8s the public education system here. It isn't going to get better in our lifetime.
