One for me, thank you.

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for someone who wants to exchange $200 Paypal with Thai Baht cash.

I have $200 in my Paypal account. Due to holidays, my bank transfer has yet to arrive.

We can meet somewhere and make the transaction real time. I have been using my Paypal account for 5 years now, it is fraud free.

I can be contacted at 087-6830496.

Thanks,

Calvin

Hi everyone,

I am thinking of bringing my client to Bei Otto for a good meal. Is it a good restaurant? Will appreciate quick feedback from anyone.

Also, has anyone tried the Chinese lunch buffet in Westin Sukhumvit?

Cheers!

I will put it in Gold and oil, not all of it, but hedge some of my money...

Hi Everyone,

Am posting this to get a general feedback on the rental I am paying.

I am renting a simple one bedroom unit along Sukhumvit 71, the monthly rental is only 3500 Baht. I was also advised upfront that there is a monthly 200 charge for building maintenance.

Here are my other issues

1. I was told electricity will averagely be 2000. But I am now paying up to 4000 a month. It is 7 baht a unit, which I understand is slightly higher than normal. I am puzzled by this as I only spend 7 hours a day in the room every day. And that is how long the air-condition is on, nothing else. Is this normally the rate? I also get a general sentiment among tenants that the aircons are always giving trouble.

2. I was initially told that the TV and fridge will incur a one time 300 and 500 baht respectively charge. But now its a recurring item on the bill. Again, is this within the norm?

I just need to gather some thoughts among the expats here in BKK.

Thank you

Thanks for the info, twschw

Hi Everyone,

I just joined this forum yesterday. This has been on my mind for a while, so if anyone can advise a bit or give some tips, I will be most grateful.

I'm currently in Bangkok, on a long holiday while I finish my novel. Before this, I use to give private tuition in my office for the past 7 years, on maths and calculus college level.

I am a little bored of my routine, and I still have 2 months at least in Bangkok, so am wondering how do I go about giving home tuition in Bangkok. Is it legal to begin with. And will charging 800 -1000 baht an hour be reasonable?

Cheers,

John

Our son just finished Year 11 of a reputable Intl School. As it turned out his grades have dropped quite a bit in Math and he needs a few hours of review with a Uni Student or a Math Tutor.

Our son speaks both Thai and English.

Thanks for your help and regards
