There's a stall in the Night Bazaar near the beginning of the strip on the left hand side, run by a Thai guy named Boyd and his wife. They have a good selection of Twins and some other brands, wraps, etc. Prices are decent. Let me know if you need more specific directions.

Not a smoker but I usually don't sleep very long so prefer to break it up so the longest legs aren't too long. I see some of the advertised flights can vary dramatically depending on routes. Still thinking EVA from Taipei to LAX is the top option and may go super economy. Wish Korean air offered super economy because I like the Seoul to Lax option but doesn't look like they do. Will check out Narita to Seattle also. Thanks.

I believe LAX is the closest west coast destination but I'd opt for San Francisco or Seattle if they were closer. Looking at cm-bkk-taipei-lax on Eva Air, and it looks like the Taipei-LAX leg is about 10 hours. Anything shorter? Hoping to limit the long haul airtime as much as possible.

This was about 10 inches long. Not very aggressive but jumped around a lot when I tried to move it. Doesn't seem to have the markings of the keel backs we frequently get.

I've been looking around CM and still haven't seen any shops where you can play onsite. But wanting to check out gameover in Bkk which looks like a good option if you're down that way.

There is a sports club in Chiang Mai called Bronco Kids. They have a rhythmic gymnastics program there, and I'm pretty sure they have private training. It's run by Kru Oor, you can find them on google and just go by to discuss, they might have want you want or could steer you in the right direction.

It looks like there's a lot of internet gaming shops but they're all playing on PCs not Xbox/Playstation. I saw a place in Bangkok called Gamover that has all the above... are there not many Xbox/Playstation gamers in Chiang Mai? Let me know if you find something.

Looking for a coach for a 10 year old--Thai or non Thai is fine.

I'm looking for the kind you strap around your chest. Anyone know a local place to buy?

Looking for an HRV and also wondering what the down payment was if anyone's bought one.

The worker is Cambodian, not Burmese, and holds a regular Cambodian passport.

Does not sound to me like there is any real reason to need a broker or agency

From other threads I gather cost of the quota + L-A visa will be about 4,000 baht. I already know the hospital cost.

Re the "quota": if likely to want to bring ion a second worker later should I just get a quota for 2 to start with? Or is the "quota" specific to a specific worker? How long is "quota" valid for?

using an agent is highly advisable Sheryl. it saves you time and hassle and the bottom line is that it might cost less than if you try to do it yourself. getting a quota for more than one is quite difficult but possible. i don't know the exact procedure and i don't care but just pay (what i think) are reasonable fees for three Burmese employees. but to the best of my knowledge the quota has no time limit and when we started nearly ten years ago the quota system did not exist.

note: mileages may vary!

I've heard that these types of visas are limited to unskilled labor, i.e. factory, landscaping, housekeeping. Is it possible to hire outside of those industries, like for office work for example? Are these workers entitled to the same wages as Thai's meaning minimum wage, OT etc?

I believe in the UK you'll need a letter authorizing consent to travel alone (i.e. the parents write and sign this and the kid travels with it). When my kid flew Bkk/Uk, we told them at the airport (no advance notice given) but they were very accommodating: someone came and escorted her through immigration and then to the gate, and same on arrival. I would recommend the non stop as someone else above mentioned.

I've checked out Shanghai La which has brunch and pool available. Looking for other recommendations anywhere around town. Thanks

I'm going tomorrow (sat) for a 1pm show, how long in advance should I get there? It's cirque du soleil. And is 30 min by taxi a reasonable estimate from terminal 21?

Right you are, thanks!

The dog got him by the back of the house. Only about 8 inches long--still a juvenile? And does that mean there's a nest of them around?

So there are 2 KK travels, one on Moonmuang next to Kasikorn bank and the other is on Thapae road. Are they both the same company ?

The phone number I posted is for the one on Moonmuang next to KSK bank. Don't know anything about the Thapae KK.

Any member have the telephone number/s for K.K Travel?

Dr. Atikun Limsukon. He's at Sripat and Bangkok Hospital, and also has a clinic in the evenings. Highly recommended for expertise, friendly manner, and excellent English.

Edit: you can Google him for his clinic info or call either hospital for an appointment.

I was told it was a fire drill at Prince Royals College. CMIS not involved.

Want to get a SIM I can install when I arrive in Heathrow, and recharge on line if possible--with calls and data. Thanks.

I strongly recommend KK - we have used them many times for non-local trips, overseas airline tickets, etc.

Very reliable and honest.

Great, thanks for the post, exactly what I was hoping to hear. I've checked online prices too but need a travel agent this time around.

Looking to book an airline ticket and hoping to get some feedback on this agency. Thanks.

I've never been to this place, just seen the website. Not sure if this is in the area you specified but if you end up trying it let me know how it is. http://bangkokfightlab.com

If it were not for The Dukes and Ragu, Promenda might have no customers at all. I only go there for Ragu.

Also Fuji and Tsukemen 55 is an interesting ramen shop. (Involves a little pot that you heat at your table). The Southern Thai food in front of Rim Ping is also good.

Tsukemen 55 is great, the best I've had in CM at least.
