Penelope;

Thanks, its all clothing, I will see what they say.

A few of my local dogs are shagging in full public view at the moment

Do Not LOOK at them doing that !!!! My wife tells me you will get an infected eye....

Well, I give them the stuff we don't eat at night. My Fridge is broken, so the soi dogs get a free feed. Although when I moved in they were viscoius, they have come around.

They are very territorial, and some of the fights that go on are spectactular, but while I keep feeding them they hand around my home, and well when strangers turn up the pack of Soi dogs give them many problems.

I am married, live mostly up-country and probably considered boring now. The changes don't affect things in this part of the world as much as Bangkok. In Suphan, you can still have a drink at almost any hour you like etc etc etc. Surin is a bit slower, but Soi Cola seems still to go on forever.

I will make sure I have 10,000 Bhat in my pocket.

What do they look like, do all the banks have them ? Sometimes when I am paying a factory in cash, a 10,000 baht note would be handy....

Is it true "Queen Suriyothai" Is buried there? hard to say buried since Thai's cremaet bodies Thanks

Sorry, no idea, I actually live in Suphanburi, but I often go over for a day trip. I will ask some people though.

I do know where Pol Pot is buried, I had the pleasure of being shown that spot by some locals (the wife's family). Ahhh but that is another story....

At the end of the day, those so called universitied are just exploiting loopholes on the law in various countries.

I had an applicant turn up one day who had more paper than I had sheets on a roll of toilet paper. I was impressed, I was so impressed I wanted to read his PhD Thesis, so I asked questions like "Where was it published", then the response I got when I wanted to contact the University and get a copy from the mentors......

Needless to say he didn't get the job.

Simple answer, contact the university, are they in the phone book, do they have a website ???? Since the internet was based on universities in some countries, you would expect some web presence.

I would take her, its very easy to "Make Pass-a-port"

You also need your marraige certificate.

No girl is unfortunate when they get on the end of my large one!

Ummm, Insight, with your Avtar, I don't understand what you mean.....

A bit iffy for mine.

Dr Pat, agree totally, I would think you havn't entered another country, which starts you into "troubled waters"

Same thing if you get on a domestic flight and you end up diverted or traverse over another country, yes, rare, but it does happen, technically you havn't left that country.

My point would be that mattnich's advice is BAD. Dangerous, too. Violations of ANY laws here can carry a fine AND JAIL.

Ok, I started the post with

Look, I am going to be a

I was taking a huge swipe at some of the very bad teachers I see now and then who just come for an extended holiday and have no experience and qualifications.

Maybe I should have stated *** This is for Entertainment ONLY ***

And if people misrepresent themselves and end up blacklisted etc etc then SOM-NUM-NA

I also wonder who's providing the server now and how it's being paid for.

I was thinking the same thing.

I wonder if he agreed if we shouldn't try to get it mirrored somewhere and save the possibility of losing such a useful tool.

hear they are beautiful??

Whats their general attitudes like?

Mine is nice, I am 41, she is 23, smoooooth milk coffee coloured skin, long soft hair, demure, cooks well, dresses well, polite she has a 6-pack stomach and we are totally devoted to each other.

Have a look at this thread to give you an idea.....

See if you can borrow LT Winmodem, Thats from Lucent, it has not much firmware, its all control is via software, so you can download different functions and update the modem.

But, we all know the score, before you come; So I will give you my sure fire method.....

1. You MUST have a Passport from one of the Native speaking countries. If you have a Philippino or Kaak Passport don't read on.

2. Very important - Order a university degree over the internet - it takes about 3 weeks and try to get one that will be useful (English Literature etc ).

3. While you are waiting for your degree , practice teaching at home for a bit. Buy a talking bird and start to teach it. When it talks you know you can teach English.

4. Relate this experience and ANY other experience into a resume.

5. Buy a ticket. and come here.

6. After a few beers and a day to get used to the place, but the Bangkok Post and start trawling for teaching jobs.

7. At the interviews lie about your experience and ability, and demand 450 Baht an hour. After all an experienced degree qualified teacher is worth it.

8. Teach teach, and after a year or two come back to this forum and find out how to get a work permit and Visa.

<Although obviously none of the above is condoned and using a 'fake' degree could get you into big trouble KK>

being a smug farang poking fun at them on an internet forum?

Why not, but this is a public forum . . . . . . are there any bar-girls there to give an opinion ????

I change between Suphan Buri and Surin, have a house in both, Immigration has me as Surin, the guy there is nicer, and comes to pick up my form, if I am home or not.

I live near the ancient Capital.

My advice, try to book a tour. There is alot to see, and having someone tell you it all will add to the experience.

If you stay overnight, remember it is as expensive as Bangkok. Why I am not sure, there are also alot of Japanese there, which tends to drive up the price a bit. If you want a cheaper place to stay, go the 45km to Suphanburi and stay there, its higher quality accom at a similar or lower price.

Going on the boat is fun and will be a memorable experience.

Take your time and lots of photo's. I think most of the big attractions are well worth looking at. You need to "immerse" yourself a bit into the scene there.

Another piece of advice, try to read some historyof the fall of the ancient capital, before you go, Asia Books will sell you one. Then you can read about daily life and have people talk about the practical use of the buildings etc.

Good Luck and enjoy.

Ps if you stay there, I would suggest you then traverse due east to Kanchanaburi and you can see the River Kwai ( prnounced KW-air kw-ai in Thai means buffalo and is not polite) and then you can go back to Bangers via Nackom Pratom and see the huge temple there. Then down the Road to Bunk Khae to see The mall and have lunch and a Taxi back to town.

Also up there is the Rose Garden and the crocodile farm.

BUT finally, you may be well served going to Samut Prakhan, its basically where Sukhumvit road ends, about 25km up the road. There is a crocodile farm and Muang Boran, its a huge park that has reasonable sized replica's of a whole lot of Temples and buildings of interest very well worth a visit.

Enjoy

one year amounts to approx ... 35,000,000 Baht

Wow, they must have alot of sick Buffalo there...

I have about 200 - 250 kg of stock to move to Australia.

I need to send it Air freight, can anyone recomment a reliable and cheap air freight company ???/

I have had the stuff manufactured here and its soon to be ready to ship to my retail outlets in Australia. Its ALL FOB, so the export doco is done.

Because Cristmas is nearby - its gotta go fast.

"The City of Lively and Fun"

With Grammar like that there must be plenty of work for English teachers....

The most common one has got to be "why do you leave the toilet seat up..? " 

My answer to that is " I don't think it's polite to p!ss on the seat, why did you leave it down?"

Its good to see that website is back and running, if even not at 100%. It is an excellent reference source.

I am curious what happened to his website and what the backgroun was.

Might end up in Roxby Downs for a couple of months

Bronco, whats being offered at Roxby ?

I use Chong Chom alot and yes they will issue you a Cambodian Visa upon entry. The only difference between Chong Cho and Poipet is that Chong Chom doesn't have anything there except for Casino's and a small market unless you go over the hill for about 2 kms then they have the bar girl scene.

Also at Chong Chom the Cambodian Immigration charge you alittle bit extra for crossing the border...

Khun Dan, saved me typing it myself, exactly....

The big advantage of OSmach or Chom Chon is it is alot faster. You can park your car, and be in the duty free shop in less than 15 minutes.

You cannot drive your car through, and I will never understand why the Casino has Bangkok registered cars....

In my opinion unless you have Khmer family and know people, Poipet would be better for going to PP. I have never seen any transport to PP from Osmach.

Also if a relative of mine comes to work on the Cambodia side, he will stamp your passport for 300b, no visa. He doesn't work weekends and Tuesdays......

try groups.google.com

That may help if you just want to talk, if you want the files, its a bit more difficult
