  1. This suggestion might be totally unhelpful in your situation at present, but maybe for the future: 1. Deposit your 800k in Bangkok bank in a one-year fixed account (currently paying around 1% - either gross or net, need to check). My bank just renews it every year and rolls over the interest; the only time I go to the bank - in this regard - is to get my annual letter for Immigration.
  2. The top plate (picture) looks very inviting.
  3. Looks totally disgusting.
  4. Congratulations on obtaining your CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults). I did my CELTA - in Chaing Mai - in 2009. I originally booked it for 2006, but it took me 3 years to come up to scratch with the Grammar requirement. (When I went to Secondary school - failed my 11 plus - in the late 1960s, Grammar was what I call implicit - included with English if you like.) Learning Verb Tenses to perfection 40 years after leaving school was no easy feat. However, a more suitable course to prepare you for your KG job would have been a TEFL followed by a TEYL.
  5. (Polled just over 2,000 people).
  6. "In Thailand, popular 400cc scooters include the Suzuki Burgman 400 and the BMW C 400 GT" (goggled it). I have seen some of these 400cc scooters and they are absolute beasts.
  7. Your second sentence answers both of your last 2 sentences.
  8. I believe the article quotes "EU" not "Europe"; maybe I'm wrong (again)!
  9. At least he isn't known for coming up behind pre-pubescent girls and stroking their hair...
  10. Statement number 1 is correct, but statements number 2 and number 3 are incorrect, only your interpretation. There is a big difference between being elected by the people and appointed by elected officials: https:// european-union.europa.eu/institutions-law-budget/leadership/elections-and-appointments-en
  11. He is about as hard as my last one.
  12. Agreed. They made a swimming pool (and gym room) after completing my muban in 2011; only problem is that it was only 1.4 m deep - all over... Hence, the only people who use it are children. There is also a toddler's pool at one end which is divided by a tiled wall.
  13. The 3 words that count in your statement are: euro, basket and currency.
  14. My advice: Stay where you are - working in Europe and earning a living; come to Thailand for holidays only. (Lived here for 19+ years).
  15. I read that the documents were confiscated and are with the police, so it must have been mentioned.
