Found some time to check my email. I guess I need to clarify a little of my earlier message. As we all know, there are a lot of people in LOS that have re-invented themselves. Some might have been living on the dole for the last 10 years with a few side jobs of parking cars as a valet at a posh restaurant on the weekends. After they arrive in LOS, they are a genius programmer but after I look at their sites, I shake my head. They use the free web building kits offered by geocities. Yet, they are so proud of their work and claim it took hours and hours of HTML programming. Yeah right.

It has been pointed out that I want to receive some training so the site can be turned over to me at a later date. Yes this is correct.

I am working on the pages now and I am about 60% finished. Anyway, I will contact the tech geeks later. I must point out that I will not be paying western prices but I will be paying higher than the Thais. Of course the person must really know his stuff!

Sorry about not writing back to the people who have sent me an email. I don't think that I will be able to respond for a couple of more weeks.

We just had a baby and the most pecious commodity at the moment is sleep.

I will get organized and begin emailing. However, I do need to point out that I am based in Bangkok and I will need to meet the webdesigner in person.

Please do not waste my time or your time if you are not a professional and do not have veriable work history. I am saying this because I had one "webdesigner"???? speak to me and his stuff came from the frees sites.

I am applying for my 3rd year in April 2004 and the immigration informed my wife that I can apply for the lottery for the residence card and book.

I believe the lottery is in December and they pick 100 names from each nationality. Of course, not all are chosen and a lot of nationalities never get their quota filled.

My question.... Are there any forum members that have been issued a resident card after the 3rd year? Just curious......

I am very curious about the dual nationality and two passports as it relates to travelling abroad. Let's say my daughter travels on her US passport outside Thailand. When she returns, I presume she must use the US passport due to the entry and exit stamps.

I have been told from other people (Thais with 2 passports) that they just get an extended stay for 500 baht at the immgration. Does anyone have any experience with this?

I realize the Thai ID is the most important document but I am very curious if it is really necessary to obtain a Thai passport.I just cannot imagine her ever using it.

Yes Cam, I received your message. Thank you very much. Some of you have expressed concerns using "Flash" in terms of the web visiter waiting for the site to load. This does make sense to me. Most of the vistors will be from the US, Canada, and Europe but I do agree with you that a quick loading website should be of the highest priority. I am striving to have a web site that does not have the appearance of dullness, hence the importance of appearing professional.

Thanks everyone for responding to my announcement. I will be very busy the next few days so please be patient with me in responding back to you.

Some of you asked about the site's content. I don't wish to disclose too much on an open forum but it will be a Thai owned and a Thai registered company.

I will disclose more when I contact the professional web site designers who have sent me their CV's.

Again thank you very much.

My wife and I are starting a business and we will need a web designer and a content writer.

We can either pay a one time fee or hire you on as an employee with a possible work permit. We can discuss this later. Preference will be given to those with experience. Designer must know Dreamweaver, Flash, Photoshop 7, and know how to set up e-commerce site (shopping cart, fill in forms/registration, etc.) and be willing to train owner.

Sorry, but preference will be given to those who have business experience in this field. We do not want a free web site host. The web site must look professional.

Please send CV, references, along with your designed web site(s) addresses. Business will be based in Bangkok.

Thanks
