We are a large international company in business to business marketing services. We need someone to make phone calls to a list of prospects and arrange sales meetings. After a short training/instruction, you can work from home if you want. Experience in telesales is required.

how about not giving straws when one buys beer cans? lol.

Believe it or not, this is exactly what happened a few weeks back when I bought a can of Leo at my 7-Eleven a few weeks back.

This handing out plastic bags like there's no tomorrow has been annoying me since I came to Thailand (the same goes for excessive use of airco). If charging a small amount per plastic bag works in other countries, I suppose it will work in Thailand as well. After all, money talks everywhere.

Free advise for the authorities: Maybe you can create a tv commercial that shows Thaksin shopping with a reusable bag. A considerable part of the country blindly believes in anything he says and does.

So I had a ticket to go to Singapore yesterday. My visa expires on 6 Jan and my next planned trip out is on 27 Jan, 3 weeks later.

I am not planning another trip between now and then and it would be a massive inconvenience. Why should I have to make what would now be a pointless trip? If I show up with my unused ticket for Singapore 27 Nov when I fly to Perth on 27 Jan will they accept that?

I doubt it but I don't see why not.

I was at the immigration office today because my 30 day stamp expires tomorrow. I have a ticket to fly out on monday, so I wanted to get a 1 week extension (not realising that is more expensive than overstaying 2 days). The lady at the information desk told me I do not need to extend because the overstay is allowed now (even though I don't have a ticket to fly before my visa expires). She also told me that if monday's the flight is cancelled, I should get on the first possible flight after that. So I don't think they will except you flying on the 27th of Januari.
