Any recommendations on a company that will assist in finding a house, based on our requirements, in bangkok and that can arrange viewing.

I will have 2 days in bangkok to find ad rent a house and will need the assistance.

Thank you

So in Nana side all those rude yelling Nepalese people have work permits, or thai passports? ?

Some very good points JT. Turkey has spent years being rebuffed by the EU, with constant postponements to membership. They have made legal changes to comply with the EU and still the goal post keeps moving.

The Arab world is now like a fatherless child and Turkey is a strong, reasonably stable country who can step into the parenting role. They do need an enemy, however, to solidify support. Israel is a convenient and reasonably easy target.

My fear has been that Iran is going to exercise power in the region. Both Turkey and Iran are ethnically different, so cementing an enduring bond may be difficult. It is up to other countries to make sure we don't drive them into the a strong adversarial situation.

Dear Scott

I agree with your comments, that the Arab World or uprising as they call it in BBC needs a father figure and that might be Turkey, Maybe after so many rejection to turkey to be part of the EU, especially after less economically qualified countries have joined send the wrong idea, some people in Arab Lands say that the rejection is because they are a Muslim dominated Country,

Should they have been accept to the EU will the situation now be different? is this a product of the EU? i do not know these are just questions that i ask myself, maybe since Turkey was rejected by the by they need allies, and that will be the Arab world?

as for the ethnicity comment? between Iran and Turkey, they might be a bit closer Ethenicly to each other than Arabs are to turkeys, but of different sects, Iranians are Shiites, and Turkish are Sunni, with the Arab Countries except for Bahrain Mainly Sunni Dominant, I personally do not see any possibility of the Ottomans and the Persians joining hands.

@Zeid, You call yourself moderate and your rejection of violence supports that. I'm curious whether you would support the existence of a Jewish state called Israel alongside a Muslim state called Palestine? If this was to happen how many Muslim Countries do you think would then recognize Israel through formal diplomatic relations?

Latest: Looks like Turkey have been told to wind their necks in.

The Obama administration has turned down a Turkish request for drones or for the deployment of US Predators at Turkish bases until Ankara stops threatening Israel with armed attack, debkafile's military and Washington sources report.

Dear Dan

Muslims and jews have always lived side by side through out history, dating from the time of Prophet Mohammad, i do have various friends in Israel, and we share many common thoughts as well as tastes and customs, I do support one hundred percent a two state solution, But reject calling Palestine a Muslim state, as Palestine, belongs to Christians as well as Muslims, and Jewish. let us not Forget where beit lahem is, and where jesus Chrise was born. as well the prophet Moses, he stood in Mount nebo in Jordan over looking the dead sea,

I think Arabs, have also shown their acceptance for the Israel stats, but the west did not show acceptance for a Palestinian state. as for Jerusalem, it contains dome of the Rock a very important landmark in the Muslim religion, we will never accept that it is taken away from us.

my personal opinion is that Jerusalem should become a religious country(similar to the Vatican) for all the major 3 religion, with an administrative committee overlooking it, made up of elected people from all 3 religions, as well as the Palestinian state and Israel state, with each of these two states selecting alternative capitals.

as for how many countries will accept, i think once recognition of Palestine happens, and the agreed borders, with sovereignty *(might be wrong spelling) and being treated like any other country, all Arabs will support, if not i will be very disappointed . but that will not count much i am afraid

Nawak< these people do not represent Islam, alone, and if you want you can PM Me, what happened to the massacre that killed all those Muslims during the Islamic festival shall we refer to all those NOn Muslims the same way i do not think so, you have the right to make your opinion and judge after you understand something not just cast away words.

Radical or fanatic actions in any field or extremist is all wrong, what every happened to the Norwegian that killed all those innocent people, that is wrong as well and not accepted by any society, but this does not mean i will go ahead and start saying this is the Christian Agenda,

I am not familiar with the third jihad, but jihad can be achieved by seeking better education and life, if a person dies while he is seeking education he is considered as a mortar, and killing oneself or suicide is not allowed by islam, so those stupid suicide Bombers have just wasted their lives.

what is shira law? is it on limited to what has been mentioned, it brought equality, as well as economical values to a society, so sharia is a full set of laws, that can be beneficial to people, such as social welfare, sorry but there is also no place in shariaw law that supports spending on attacking western countries, same as any other empire the Muslim empire was expanding, same did the romans, the magols, and all, so this is just a bad interpretation of a shiria law.

Once again I am a Muslim, educated in the US, Lived in Germany, and traveled around, by no means will i consider myself even a moderate muslim, since i miss all prayers, i enjoy beacon in the morning and the company of women, but when ever i start hearing comments such the below about islamist agendas, as well as some remarks based on Total BS, my devotion increases,

i agree with Ulysses that many use this curtain of islam to do what ever sick ideology they have damaging or destroying the reputation of islam, and in our school we where tought the bible, Christianity, and the Tarawa and Jewish releigion, i suggest many of you who do comment based on no facts that you read and study.

finally i do not think any of you will accept a person to come in inside your home, take 2 out of the 3 bedrooms you owe, and then call you a thief.

The title of this thread shows how ridiculous is the islamist way to handle conflicts.

Sink them all.

what do you know of islam?

Egypt? things might go missing by the time they reach rafah border,

for the islam joking part that is a subject on its own, but living in Arab land and middle east, i have to admit i have no idea what an Islamist agenda ism oh i am also a Muslim, just in case anyone might wonder.

the only embarrassing thing about all this is Arabs are sleeping, and doing nothing while the Turks are.

also the comments posted by some that are claiming Gazza people are free and not suffering from anything is just prejudice

why was Berlin wall illegal? why is the wall in Palestine legal?

Supposedly Sadam was did not offer his people the freedom, nor the human rights, but Israel is allowing this, to the Palestinian people?

no the arab leaders are not up to the standard,

yes maybe per capita is getting the most aid per capita per country what is the final dollar value? is it enough to go to rebuild all the constant bombing? hospitals schools? food?

Maybe Mr. Erdogan understand that the only way is to deliver himself, so that the actual aid also arrives to Gaza, so it is not being taken else where,

and didn't Israel already reject the inspection of the UN outside its ports

Denis Halliday had already also inspected the ship

Israel, rejected the UN to probe and investigate the incident

how is concrete a dangerous item?

maybe next item they will ban are bras and panties so that there is no access to rubber bands hence reducing the production of slingshots.

i think comments such the below show Hippocratic characteristics, where you allow one country to do something and others not

what is an islamist agenda? to give people the freedom they want?

Do you really believe that people will come only in thailand because they can have a free visa ?

what is the financial impact of such a measure for the holiday budget

What next ? They will give candy at the immigration

Actually yes they will, since one visa is for a 1000 Baht for many this means an extra night of accomodation, hence a family of four will get for extra nights or extra shopping money

this might be a bit far,

but the word is there is a private school opening close by Nong Bua Lamphu towards ubonrat dam

That GCC are going all over the place, they have thousands and thousands of hectors in the world, to make sure that they keep getting food, the way they look at it, is they can not plant and finding water is expensive, so buy where there is everything, they are now also in India, as well as africa.

but they way they are doing it is wrog wher ethey treat it as an extension to their country.

on teh other hand some very big Thai rice companies are buying land in nigeria, teaching the locals how to plant, and using this to export to africa, as to reducing shipping costs.

hmm so you could not get a bigger aperture that is why you went for higher ISO.

dont you get F2.8 on this lens but at 200MM you can not change anything

I like it, but why ISO 500?

wouldn't 100 make it nicer?

thismight sound as a stupid question but i am reading about ISO settings.

so many experiences

one says Chiang mai best the other says Chiang mai did not work,

we have a saying in my country that says Land quality differs by a hand width.

so i gues sthe best thing to do is try again at a different spot
