Travelish

As long as thailand continues to pay their police force the same as (or less than) fast food workers they will always have the need to "supplement" their income. The first step to tackling the widespread corruption is to pay them a decent wage.

Indeed, you can fire at least 50% of all policeman and give their salary to the remaining 50%;

very efficient

ask for mapraow haeng...

was n't double citizenship made legally about 10 years ago??

the taxi situation in phuket is one of the main reasons i dont go there anymore ,they may as well "own " the island .........the best thing tourists can do is stay away completely ,phuket is way over developed anyway ,better to go to one of the other beautiful islands (of which there are many ) and just let the taxi drivers lay around all day ,which is what they mostly do anyway because they are way too expensive !!!!!!

I second that: when you go travel to Phuket, yousupport the criminal situation there, so better stay away...

I ll come too

If you go to Bearing anyway, better take the skytrain to Ekamai and board the bus there

Agree great idea but how long would it remain open before being forced to shut down for actually publishing fact.

as long as it is not on Thai servers, they can not close you down

and do not forget to report every 90 days at Immigration!

Because the two places are completely different, and what is the point in discussing the price of taxi ride without counting the metre starting price?

Is it possible to travel 800 meters in BKK for 14 baht?

I just came back from a songteow ride from my place (onnut soi 30) to Paradise Park (Sri Nakarin road) that is more than 10 km for only 6 thb.

Why should it be different in Phuket?? Because it is the crime capital in south east Asia??

Au contraire, mon cher!

it works for me...

This follows hard on the heels of the new "Miracle Thailand " campaign NOT !!

It is a miracle he survived...

the best solution is capture every rino, and cut off his horn

When I read the headline it brought a smile to my face,wundering where they they were hiding them,may be it was my (dirty)mind.

Hoping for a return fare.

Do you need property to have the yellow tb? Or just the paperwork noted on post number 1?

Silly me, of course I forgot to mention that copy of wife's tabien baan is required. The key doc, actually.

Otherwise NO yellow tabien baan.

I will edit my OP.

edit: I can't edit OP. Shucks. Can a mod put it in?

I have a yellow Tambian baan and I am not married.....

This is no plagiarism:

We easily go for less healthier choices, not knowing what is in the products that we buy. Soy sauce is one of those choices, as when we shop in our supermarket, we rather buy soy sauce there than in our health food store.<br style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">The "commercial" soy sauce has nothing to do with the "traditional" soy sauce from our health food store.<br style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Most commercial soy sauces contain sugars and also 3-MCPD. 3-MCPD or (3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol or 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol) is an chemical compound which is carcinogenic and has male anti-fertility effects.

It is created in foods by protein hydrolysis by adding hydrochloric acid to speed up the reaction of the (soy) protein with lipids at high temperatures.<br style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">It has been found far exceeding health standards by in some cases thousand of times in many Chinese and Southeast Asian sauces such as Oyster sauce, Hoisin sauce and Soy sauce, but Korean or Japanese sauces do not utilize hydrochloric acid in production and therefore do not produce 3-MCPD.

This does not means that Korean and Japanese sauces are healthier, it means only that they do not contain 3-MCPD.

I once had the honour to speak with the 85 years old cook of Hirohito, the former emperor of Japan, and he told me that at the imperial court, they only used Kikoman soy sauce, but not the commercial one, which is made in only one day, but a brew only made for the emperor, fermented for more than one year.

Using hydrochloric acid is a far cheaper and faster method but inevitably creates carcinogens, which is why artificial soy sauce can sell for far cheaper than traditionally fermented soy sauce. One good soy sauce available in Thailand is the Sun Chaw Wong soy sauce, made from GMO free ingredients, rich in amino acids, fermented for up to one year. This brand has 3 different soy sauce , one is without sugar.

Does someone uses an iPad in BKK?? How do you get connected while traveling through Bangkok?

tia

Gee

I would rather die a long lingering death than have to work out to that degree just what was in what I was eating. JEEEEZ

Especially in a bottle of soy sauce.

If you are not concerned about your health, you should not be in this forum...

My Canadian friend and his Thai GF open a massage shop on Onnut, and for this , they are looking for 5 certified masseuses, certified in at least Thai Traditional massage and Oil massage.
