  1. Internet teaching is another option to supplement your income. I regularly make $500-$1,000 per month without trying too hard and have students from around the world. You can choose the hours and work comfortably from home too!

    Interesting! But how did you find students that were not your students before?

    From advertsisng on forum classifieds, google ads, and referrals by word of mouth.

  2. All was looking good until this clanger:

    "However, Kanit added that getting a qualified candidate for the CFO job would be made more difficult because it attracted a lower salary than similar positions at other large companies."

    Surely if you want to get someone good who can make tough decisions independantly, you would invest in them with an appropriate salary, in order to steer this ailing airline back into profitability?

  3. Tom, we live in San Pu Loei near Doi Sukhet which is very family friendly, close to farms and open spaces, but also not far from Big C. It has a good little village shopping area and is very quiet and safe. Only problem at the moment is you need transport (car or bike) as there is virtually no public transport there.

  4. Do American and Australian Chinese restaurants have 'chop suey' on their menus or is that just a UK Chinese restaurant dish? I know you'll never find it in China!

    Sent from my GT-I8552 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

    Some Aussie Chinese restaurants still have Chop Suey, but it really is a dish from the 60s and 70s

  5. I think American style Chinese food would be the same as Australian Chinese food (same dishes). I notice that the Shanhai-Lo has "Orange Chicken", but my favourite is Lemon Chicken. My Chinese students always laugh when I tell them that.

    My 2nd favourite would have to be the sweet and sour pork that is in the picture.

    Damn, now I'm hungry!!wai2.gif

  6. A real Aussie burger needs beetroot....just a suggestion for you.

    I had a burger and fries at that joint on Nimmenhaimen 2 years ago, and it tasted so good after not having a burger for 2 years. That afternoon the rumblings started and I was crook as Rookwood for the next 3 days-I have never had a burger since.

    Before I left Oz in 2005 I used to love the Ogallo's Portugese chicken burger with ginger and chilli sauce-SUPERB!

  7. A good report RikDao. I quite liked Vientienne when I went there for a Non-O for marriage visa last year, and I too had an easy and uneventful time doing everything myself. I had downloaded and pre-filled a form, but the tuk tuk dropped me at the card table outside the Embassy wall and the man thir insisted I had an old form and filled me out a new form for 100TB and also tried to sell me his expertise for getting my visa, but as i said it was very easy doing it myself. The only hassle was the LONG queue at the border trying to get back in to Thailand.

    I also recommend having a bit of a holiday in Laos

  8. R.I.P to the foreigners and Thais killed and Godspeed to the injured, especially the 9 year old Russian boy in ICU.

    The Thai way seems to be to not prevent bad things from happening (in Buddhas hands?) then blame it on the spirits or the Ferangs when bad things happen.

    That is what it is like in my household too, and so when these things continually happen in Thailand, I just wish the penny would drop with someone in a responsible position to say "ENOUGH!" We WILL do something to stop this from happening again.

    Yet another senseless waste of lives again.............
