The problem I have when it comes to more money is, what amount would be enough for them to change, 30K 50K 80K ? The older teachers and admin make quite a nice salary along with their gov. perks already. Same goes for the police force. Corruption is so ingrained in the culture here I dont see much change happening in my lifetime whatever the amount of money offered.

Too many people when converting to lpg or cng try to go with the cheapest kit\install they can find, thats where problems come from not the engines. Just search for kits online and you will see the difference in quality.

Also get the you hansum man plauge shots which is rampant in the southern part of thailand.

Our dog bit the water guy a couple of months ago, we paid for the shots which cost 3000 baht thai price. I didnt like him either.

Naive ??? I have worked jobs for lower pay than I could get elsewhere for something called job satisfaction. Im guessing you are one of those teachers who dont care about anything but yourself.

Hmm 4 different operating systems on prob 4 different tablets, this should be an interesting evaluation. Yes apple is much worse than microsoft when it comes to the pigs trough of education budgets, who buys legit ms products in thailand anyway lol.

Can you see light from the hole you dug for yourself ? You will be lucky to get anything now sorry to say.

How is the kindle for reading pdf's ? I have a lot of books not from amazon I would like to read and thinking the sony prs model might be better. Are you locked into the amazon book store for reading with it ?

ets.org is where you can get all the info you need.

Just write a couple of pages on how great the program was in helping the children learn english and how they really enjoyed it, nobody is going to read it or pay attention to it anyway, then go to the meeting sit and smile nod your head a lot and eat the free lunch. Its just part of teaching in thailand and will go a long way in you making connections and getting more work. Its not that difficult to do.

^ Some people cant make it teaching in thailand or anywhere else. But if you can you can make it anywhere, thats what separates the men from the boys.

I always laugh at people married to thais that say its their money if they lose, okay when she loses HER money who is going to pay the bills lol I dont understand why the op is asking for advice you have already made up your mind and she has.

You need to seriously chill out, where did the sex rant come into this, Im sorry for being so harsh but you are not making any sense in your posts so I can see where all your problems are coming from. *Delete*

Only you can decide what is best for you but you might as well go for the money as promises in thailand are worth nothing. same same but different.

More bad info, there is no grace period, when your employment ends so does your visa and wp. The only extra time you will get is the time it takes for your school to turn in your permits and however long it takes to get into the immigration computer. But hey its only 500B per day overstay.

^ More BS

^ Total BS a mandate, which there is not for passing students by the MOE, is not LAW. Lots of students fail classes at universities I have taught at by thai teachers, not by me though as I learned a long time ago its not worth the headache.

What do you want for nothing ?

Commonrail engines run biodiesel just fine all it refers to is the fuel line running to the injectors is one piece. The only thing we dont run it in is a new ford f450 we bought last year and thats only because the fuel is pumped thru a high pressure fuel pump that is very sensitive to water. The older models used an oil pump. With a new fuel-water separator, not the crap one ford puts on it, it will be running dollar a gallon fuel. Way too many misconceptions on biodiesel out there. Its all in the quality of the fuel. Another thing if you start running even 5% bio you better get some fuel filters as biodiesel will clean your fuel system like nothing else clogging the filters.

Getting the oil is the easy part, unless you can find the reactants- methanol and sodium or potassium hydroxide in large amounts you are not going to have any luck making your own.

Yeah we are all spineless twits who are not ex royal marines (blow me, Im an ex delta-green beret-cia operative believe me I said it on an internet forum) You dont know anything about teaching in thailand and from your posts in other sections on thai visa quite a blow hard (thought you were a world class driving instructor). To the op get over yourself if you want to survive teaching here in thailand, sorry but you can stand on your soapbox and scream to the world about your morals but no one in thailand cares ! Teach to the kids who you can make a difference to and forget about the rest, you will be much happier.

Whatever cert you decide on I would highly suggest you get it here. If you choose a decent school you will learn a lot about thai culture (ouch) and the infamous thai education system which resembles nothing you have experienced before lol and also hopefully get some actual class time with thai students (god help you). Bangkok, where I have never taught, is much stricter in rules and regulations for teaching but where I live in Issan anything goes (remote outposts have their perks). The pay is 30-35K a month compared to bkk which should be 40k and up but my expenses are lower (sticky rice and chicken feet). Dive in the waters fine, just look out for the rocks.

All it took is once for me to get a cc bill with charges in malaysia to burn important papers. The daughters recycle everything else and I like that.

I despise hotel california and the eagles and i dont have a balcony dam_n it !

Aww the gang mentality shows its head lol How can you calculate your farm income with no numbers ? The family farms here I dont throw my money away easily or work for free. But I do have productive farm land in the us, guess what it is rented out to a large farming cooperative who yes can make a profit due to the size of their operations. And they account for every dime made and spent to calculate their profits, its called business.
