As a previous poster said the higher the price, the better. Fewer people will use jetskis.

But have the "damage" scams stopped?

dr. waralak at Elite Smile has ALWAYS kept me comfortable. If she needs to drill, she will ask me if I want anaesthetic injection. I have learned to ask her in return what she thinks. Sometimes she says no need, other times she says probably we should inject. I have never once felt pain. i believe she works Friday mornings only there.

Folks, as of last week there is a brand new, huge 7/11 past security at DM. water is 10 bht per bottle!!

"Her nail clipper had seen better days and she actually had to use two hands to clip the big toe nail which went flying off some where across her shop."

i just threw up in my mouth a little...

Let's get off the race issue please. It has no place here and just will start a flame war. Cultural differences would be more accurate.

Yes, never mind "political correctness," the racial context is ridiculous, but, as it seems most who post here are English-speaking "Westerners" a "scrum" is upsetting for those whose mothers taught them better manners.

A legitimate complaint, IMHO, is agents trying to nose in ahead of the crowd. Although I can sympathize with one view (possibly that of some immigration officers) that the agents are favored because they generally have the paperwork in order and know the system, it grates that they are favored, as some of them clearly are. On the other hand, many foreigners simply don't do their homework, are not prepared, and consequently bog things down quite a bit.

Otherwise, I can't say that I have been groped while waiting in line !!! That's a new one !!!

The race issue should be minimised, but the "pros" with fistfuls of passports were from a specific country. Rather than make it a racist issue, be prepared that some people will actively try to jump the line. By the way, the agents with "clout" don't show up at 6:30am. They are trying to jump the line because they have no connections...

about a year ago i had a similar experience. when the clipboard with the list was presented to the line of people at 8am, 2 "pros" with a fistful of passports tried to non-chalantly jump the line. Needless to say I placed my body between them and the list with a sharp verbal warning. But they were ready to do anything to jump the line. It is good that word is out that these people exist, and you need to be prepared to assert your place in line.

left my bike at airport for 15 days February 2013. No problems.

praise me!

I had the opposite experience. Kasikorn bank in CM said they couldn't write the letter based on my BKK Kasikorn account. They did offer to have me transfer the 800k to an account with them in CM (and pay 1% fee for transfer.) I went to my BKK branch for the letter.

Thank you!

Where is this being held. The Payap website says at main campus, but Expat newsletter says Narawat campus.

Check out Tune hotel Asoke. It is running about 400bht per night in December. Very good place, close to MRT and BTS, great beds, good bathrooms.

Please I will attend alone, so sad....

Just sent you a private message with details of administrator I negotiated a package price of 13k baht about 2 years ago at Lanna Hospital. Not sure if board rules permit me to post name and phone here, but anyone can contact me for info by private message.

they did a brief interview to determine i was ok for level 5. K. Boy also taught me, but he won't be available to teach level 6. There were 6 students. I think there may be only 3 students for level 6. It was challenging and helpful.

i just finished level 5 at Payap. thinking about level 6 that starts June 5.

Now I may consider AA Insurance for my future needs.

I was able to meet him for 4 hours while hospitalized and was impressed by his good humor, peace, and sharp mind. Hope to meet others like him in the future.

I had a colonoscopy 1 year ago at Lanna. They said 18 to 20k. I negotiated gently to 13k including pathology fees for 3 biopsy specimens. The trick is finding the administrator empowered to bargain. At Lanna ask for Khun Jantana, a smart & good lady who speaks English well.

Please read the fine print on the new $5 boarding pass print fee. All FD (Thai Air Asia) flights are excepted from this new fee. At least for now.

I think you can get at Makro in the aisle adjacent to the ham hocks.

I understand we must follow forum rules. So is NancyL the person to PM if one wants to contribute or participate in a fund raiser?
