Oh, the old splitting hairs technique. Well I dont go with that as there are thousands of shops selling the stuff at much higher levels than that. Read again what I wrote.
Not going to get into it with you, but......
In June of last year marijuana was legalized. That is all that really happened. Now that is in flux, but I personally believe it will remain legal but more highly licensed. Other than that I have no idea what you are talking about. If you have been busted for coke, that remains just the same on your record here. Police checks for employment are conducted for the most part.
So you have been there and realize you dont like it or the people who live there? From what you have written why would you even consider the job? May I ask if the job is in a small village what you would be doing other than teaching?
Reg, do you realize your first paragraph is not only wrong but contradicts itself. As said wait for Sheryl she will give you the best advice about the doctors and the hospitals..
You neglect to mention how much agriculture had to be curtailed due to lack of water. "The water wars" where farmers and residents fought over who could have the water. Yes its over, yes its good now, but there were a lot of bad years. I can't see the Thai's rationing water the way California had to.
The roads leading in are big at least 3 lanes wide with a center meridian. I have never had a problem parking on the street at all. The whole building and government complex is huge, no other way to put it. Photo of the front of the building to give you and idea.
The newly elected government. Why do you think the EC, Senators and various other old dinosaurs are so worried. They will be investigated as to where all their money came from. Time for payback, and the old guard is scared to death and clinging on by their fingernails.
Bingo. This is another reason the dinosaurs are so upset, the youth are waking up. My wife studied world geography and history in school 40 years ago. When I told her those subjects are no longer taught she did not believe me and went on a crusade to prove me wrong. She later said "sorry" you were right for perhaps the second time in my life. Indeed they were phased out with more emphasis put on Sangcome, the subject where Buddhism and regard for the Royalty is taught.
Thanks Neal, No Show just go dude. I found it 30 plus years ago buying gold for my wife. Just busses and motorcycles then, no google maps. Its easy. Simply google Hua Seng Heng gold shop location and you will see the Wat as Neal says its really close.
Have lived on the outskirts of BKK for 35 years. Nothing has or will change. Get mine from the same guy now 12 years. Well some things have changed he drops mine off at my house for 150 a gram. Then starts to deliver to the weed shops at 200 to 400 per gram. Always 6-8 good strains including hybrids. Really nice head high Sativa is my choice right now. Lemon Kix to be specific.
Then you will get bland gunk. Without the chilis at all there is no Thai taste. Phet Noi would be better. Not Hot, Not delicious is not what you are looking for.
You are going to restaurants that cater to farung. So change where you go. Hit up a "Khao Gaeng" shop for some curry. Or get out of the tourist area and order a street side Krapow Mu. You will find what you are looking for, if that is the real Thai taste.
You have 4 islands there, should be 3. Papeete is the capital city and located on the island of Tahiti.
Thats funny, but so untrue. Weather, topography and culture is not at all the same.
All said its one of the most expensive places I have visited.
