  1. We want to make some sausages... perhaps we have been drinking a wee bit.

    Not really... well a little ... anybody knows where one might find/buy/order casings (prefer the artificial kind) to make some delicious homemade sausages here in the Land of Smiles.

    Thanks allot for your help.

    :o

  2. A beautiful place is Ko Ngai on the Trang/Krabi border.

    It's pretty isolated for 10 days; but- I love it and never get sick of it.

    I'm even looking at it from a distance right now.

    Check out http://www.thapwarin.com/

    There are other resorts on the island too. About 6- maybe 7. They were unaffected by the tsunami cause the beach sits on the east coast. Do a search in google.

    You can pm me for info about this area.

  3. Hi there!

    Address: Room 102A, CPD Court

    86/12, Ratchadapisek Road, Chatuchak

    Anybody heard of this company before?

    Any comments helpful before i hand over the precious visa card.

    THX HH :o

  4. Any one familiar with Flights to Kunming China?

    I found the website. But my Chinese is not up to par.

    Thanks!

  5. 5 mins from the house was a Delta Mart and 10 mins was a BINTANG both in Ubud. Two very well stocked markets. You could get everything; western and even Thai curries.

    Surrounding the complex were some amazing villas, running from $150 - $2000 USD a night!

    I spent hours on-line looking for a smallish (villa) house with all the amenities like this one. I couldn’t find anything comparable for under $50 USD a night. There was also a good selection of houses at the T-house complex- from 1-bedroom to the bigger 3-4 bedrooms.

  6. My husband and I just returned from Bali. We found a great little house to rent near Ubud.

    It was call Green T house and this real cool guy named Tony designed this fantastic mini- eco resort. Everything was low impact on the environment etc.

    Anyway, Our house was only 1400 baht a night and included a small but complete kitchen (My husband is a chef). There was even lemon grass growing in the garden!

    Every morning some delightful Balinese girls would come cook us anything we wanted for breakfast. It had a pool and fantastic views of the rice fields.

    I can't wait to go back! :o

    PM if you want to know anything else. HH

  7. I know you were asking about Thailand. But if you ever find yourself on a visa run to Penang, Malaysia- Check out Gurney Plaza. The shops on the lower floors are expensive but there is a good "Reject Shop" upstairs and an East India shop (a cheaper version of British India) The quality, styles and prices were impressive compared to what you see here in Thailand.

    It seems our sisters in the south have more western figures (East Indian) or at least some better clothes that fit us. They also have a great selection for the western man with many big sizes. My Thai husband had a hard time finding anything!

    And to you, Alex. I have seen far more overweight farang men here in the LOS then then farang women. I have yet to see one farang girl/woman who weighs twice the size of her partner. :o

    I usally see it, the other way around.

    Any way, In the last 3 years I’ve picked up a few real nice pieces in Penang and then had them copied here in Thailand by my friends who are tailors.

    All in all, Gurney is a great place to enjoy for a day.

    :D

  8. Dose anyone out there know anyone who’s had a successful reversal surgery in Thailand?

    If so, where, and by what doctor?

    We want to start a family, but my husband was sniped only months after leaving the monastery. There was not much sex-ed training when he left after being a fully ordained monk for 10 years. So he opted for the snip, not knowing anything. :o Its been 11 years since the snip. thanks for your help! HH

  9. I’m bringing in 3 computers to donate my local High school in a tsunami-affected area.

    There is software loaded on the computers (Windows and OS-X, etc)

    Accompanied by the original CDs with serial numbers. Does anyone know if this is possible and what kind of duty I might have to pay when I pick it up in Phuket? The computers are 2nd hand. They are arriving by DHL from the US.

    Thanks!

  10. "Me" my neighbor is 2 1/2 years old. His father was killed by the tsunami and now his family is living in the temporary housing "Baan Moo" on the hill.

    We took "Me" into the local doctor and the prognosis is not very good. She gave him a 40/60 chance.

    He was born with serious glaucoma and now its infected since the tsunami. We got some meds to help the infection but I've offered to take him to see the best eye specialist in Bangkok. Can any one recommend the best hospital?

    The doctor of-course gave me a long list last night. But does any one have a personal experience?

    thanks

  11. Thanks DN

    Next Sat. 4 of us (2 teachers from Krabi and me and my friend) are going up to school to reformat and reinstall windows 98. As a start.

    But we really need some one who can be there- and possibly continued support.

  12. I just got one and LOVE IT!

    My other Mac was destroyed when the wave crashed through my house. But thats Another story :o

    Apple care doesn’t cover tsunamis!! :D

    What I wanted to say is the great service and support I have received from cg computers in Penang.

    I’ve now bought two Mac from them over the last 3 years and they are really helpful and their English is super.

  13. I live in Krabi Province. My town in Ko Lanta was hit hard by the tsunami

    I’m looking for (1) Thai or Farang network/tech person. Preferably from Krabi or Trang Province. I need help in fixing and maintaining a network at the only High School here on Ko Lanta. It’s a computer Lab with 9 semi-working PC’s. It’s a very poor school with most, if not all of the students affected by the tsunami in some way or another.

    If you know anybody wanting to volunteer (for the network help ONLY) -Please PM me back. Thanks

  14. Hello-

    I read this here a while back, “TG are carrying relief material to BKK then HKT free of charge”

    I live in Krabi Province, and I’m looking for some help in getting boxes of tsunami aid and school supplies for tsunami victims brought in from overseas. (USA)

    Has any body done this or know whom to contact? I’ve searched a lot on the web to no avail- nothing on the TG website. I have friends ready to deliver a few boxes by next week to the Airport in SFO or LAX. I’m not an official aid person- just a girl trying to help my Thai neighbors (over 40 families living on my street are displaced) and the local school. If you know of any airline or courier numbers could you please post them?

    I’m also looking for (1) Thai or Farang network/tech person. Preferably from Krabi or Trang Province. We need help in fixing and maintaining a network at the only High School here on Ko Lanta. It’s a computer Lab with 9 semi-working PC’s. It’s a very poor school with most, if not all of the students affected by the tsunami in some way or another.

    If you know anybody wanting to volunteer (for the network help ONLY) -Please PM me back. Thanks!

  15. Hello,

    Has anyone seen any cool looking Shoji or Thai Style screens around.

    Perhaps Chattachuk in Bangkok? or in any larger furinture stores.

    I live down in the south, know any place where I might get some built custom?

    Thanks in advance! HH

  16. As I am packing my bags for a trip "home". Im wondering about the prospects of a visa for my fiance next year. After following this site for over a year I realized that our chances were very small as my partner is self employed. :D

    What "other" documentation would help in obtaining a tourist visa to the USA?

    We have been living in the LOS for almost 3 years together and I understand all the important rules. But what about the little things?

    Bills - pictures- joint property? What seemed to help the most for you girls?

    And what can I do now to prepare?

    It seems that on this forum 99% are men trying to get visa's for their G/f. What are the differences for the Farang Gals? if any? :o

    Thanks HH
