    Not trying to be rude but 10 years work experience, an MBA and needs her farang BF to ask on a website filled mainly with  western retirees how she should persue finding a new job in Thailand ? :blink:

     

    As in most countries, in not what you know, its who you know that gets you ahead 

    I was thinking the same thing before I got to the end of the post.

    Good for you, & her, that she wants to progress, but, I would have thought she would have far more idea & contacts to move up the ladder.

  2. Few months ago I had both knees replaced in BKK private hospital. Best care & attention I've ever received in any hospital anywhere.

    No deposit. Only had to pay on day of discharge. Accepted my Aussie VISA card.

    Total cost was less than half of what would have cost in Oz, with private health cover contribution. Paid less than the original estimate.

    Very happy.

    But hey, maybe I was just lucky.

    super crunchy from Macro is pretty good, trouble is now the rest of the family eat it all on me

    " now the rest of the family eat it all on me " Tell the family to try it on bread or toast. Will probably taste a lot better than eating it on you.

    :P

    "Today while waiting for a bus to get back home I saw a bunch of Thai ladies flagging a cab and getting flat out refused by I'd say 80% of the drivers".

    That 80% figure is meaningless without knowing how many taxis were involved.

    "If you are an Indian customer it's much worse. You'd have to negotiate the price."

    Says who? Did you witness the much worse situation of Indians having to negotiate the price? Why is it much worse for Indians to have to negotiate than Thai girls?

    "Why is it much worse for Indians to have to negotiate"    Because most of the taxi drivers are cowboys.

    5000 baht sakon to udon by taxi......way over the top..........divide by two and take away the first figure you thought of....

    " Got a quote from a metered taxi at the bus station. Bus station to UT airport... 1800 baht. "

  6. I'm aware of several "Farang" restaurants up here in northern Isaan. My guess is they are registered in the wife's name. My understanding is that a farang can assist his wife in a family business.

     

    What I'd be doing in your situation. Look up on Google for restaurants in say Sakon Nakhon or Udon Thani or Khon Kaen. Or where you like for that matter. A farang restaurant will be promoted as such. Contact said restaurant & ask for advice. Unless you intend to open up next to said restaurant, I'd think you'd get some valuable advice.

     

    But, just my idea of getting started.

  7. Thanks all. Chiang Mai bus might be the go. I'll make some enquiries about that.

    Got a quote from a metered taxi at the bus station. Bus station to UT airport... 1800 baht.

    This won't help with peanut butter, but might assist on finding your way around the revamped site.

    Instead of going straight to the General forum, go to Thaivisa main page. Open that & all the sections are available, sub forums. I had a quick look & there's a section for "food in Thailand". Might help.

    Cheers.....     Mal.

      Western Food in Thailand

      Farang food, or Western Food.
      Foreign cuisine available or not, or wanted in Thailand. Where can I find my products? Home sick? How to import my stuff from FarangLand?

  9. Hi all. Next month I need to travel from SN to UT airport. I know the bus is an option, but would rather by car if at all possible.

    Anyone know of a taxi they can recommend ? If not, I'll go to the bus station & speak to some of the taxi drivers.

    Thanks in advance.....     Mal.
