There is story in Guinea News about chambermaid with very nice picture of her;quite a girl!

I think,she will get part in movie,which will follow soon,as well as marriage offers(for virtue and beauty).

You want to see her? google: Nafissatou Diallo

I have just bought Yamaha keyboard and succesfully send it to LOS.It was EZ-200 model,100$ in US,250$ in...HongKong(Tom Lee Music),same in..Japan;Yamaha do not sell it

in LOS.Your model 323 costs 270US$(1900HK$).Why EZ-200? because of keys with "light action".I wrapped it in bubbles,added some dvd-s,books and sweets,which all made 11kg,I wrapped outside box in packing paper.Cost of airmail parcel was 40$,tax was 1200B - one week.I have found only one shop in US,which was selling worldwide,but they canceled my order with excuse - they can not send to ..Thailand.

if you have friends,who can bring your model from US,then you will save;or someone can post it for you,adding bubbles sheets as extra protection.It will weight about 8 kilos.It must not be longer then 110cm for airmail parcel.

You do not need to transport heavy extras like power adapter and tripod,you can buy them or make in LOS.

If you want to buy it for child,total beginner,without proven musical talent - you can try to begin and test: cheap chinese substitute

called:Angelet XTS-5089;it is not bad,cause they sell it in countries like Australia and NZ!and...they sell it in LOS(4000-5000B)

but you can find it easy on 2nd hand for 1000 - 2000B!Google it,you will see pics.And TRY before you buy.It may sweet waiting time for the real thing and - child will not lose enthusiasm.

Or you want to play yourself?

In the case of sexual assault (and some other crimes), the press is prohibited from giving out the name or identifying information about a victim.

This is in some utopian countries.They have published already interviews with victims friends,gave location of her house,and provided more info if you are so interested.

police adjusted timing of incident as well,now it is noon.

All this story stinks.

@geriatrickid

people with very strong sex drives(sex maniacs or suffering from satyriosis) - lose their minds on opportunity of sex encounter,their reason is switched off.

their action is often welcomed by object of their desire,because it works on feedback and both sides are happy(eventually).It makes him confident to try again another time.

I know such people,few of them.

I had sort of experience with friend who is gay,I picked him up at the airport,together we came to his hotel,where he was supposed to check-in,leave his luggage and

we had to leave fast-we had very important appointment.But he had got stuck in his room,came down after 15-20 mins.

what has happened?we are late! - his answer:you did not see that bell-boy,who carried my suitcase?so cute! - well I saw him,10mins ago!what about him? - Well,I screwed him,but I had to take shower after that.

my friend never had any "problems",but he is not very important,has no plans to run for presidency..

For sure you know about adventures of certain failed politician in Malaysia,who is charged with sodomy;thanks to WikiLeaks we know,that...its all true,another important guy,who can not contain his dick.

So,it happens

From what I have seen based on a couple visits there, you'd be hard pressed to find a working girl that ISN'T underage in Patts.

He is lucky he is not American. He'd be facing some serious time when he returned home.

Of course he is --- then again the US has been chasing a well known paedo for the past 40 years ---- yet \mr Polanski is still free. As OJ said "best legal system money can buy"........... He wasnt talking about hailand

I am sorry, Mate! Sex with underage girl doesnt make you paedophile - paedophile biznes is with children(in case of girls it means:before puberty=no tits,no hair and no monthly sickness).

I dont claim,that children are not available in Pattaya,but underage girls and boyz? - in abundance.

Can you tell girl from child?the easy way is - listen to her speach,child talk in a same pitch of voice like Justin Bieber.

Polanski's girl was underage,not child at all,she had boyfriend already(sleeping boyfriend - same age:14) and she looked 18.

s..iit hit the fan,when she bragged to him about her experience with that famous moviemaker(fairly speaking,you can call him - sex-maniac,quite fair;may be he even suffered from mild satyriosis,but never paedophile)

Do you like Justin Bieber?

The best ,the latest and cheapest - in US.You can bring it in hand,as hand luggage,just discard cartoon.Thai customs? - not a problem,dont tell them about your price!

Many simple CD car players will play mp3,wma with bit rate - 128k,no more;you have to check this - bit rate of your ripps,and convert them to 128k if it is necessary.

ps. those gismos:"FM modulators" or "FM transmitters",if they take USB thumb drive or sd card - they will play only 128k mp3 or 128k wma,some only mp3 128k.,the same - about its internal memory.

Old Sony players - had proprietory format.It is possible,that your car player plays only straight CDs?It is easy to figure it out.

Many simple CD car players will play mp3,wma with bit rate - 128k,no more;you have to check this - bit rate of your ripps,and convert them to 128k if it is necessary.

When I wanted to go on safari tour - I bought the package tour from tour agency.Well before the date of departure - I had to surrender my passport to them,so they could obtain necessary visas;

It saved me trouble of going to Bern in Switzerland,where most of Africa embassies are located,none of them in my small motherland. I could travel around Europe with my ID!

So what?Everything is legit!

And look,how tour agency is doing this bizness technically: they send nice girl with bag full of somebody's passports by night train to Bern,without marshals or armed escort;she will cross 3 borders on her way.

Can you imagine it - TV armchairs/google investigators?

to OP,it depends what country gave you your passport,it depends who will talk with you,and if you know him personally,it depends where the conversation will take place(office or corridor or ...pub/bar?)

it also depends how much you value your own reputation?

I do not think,you will put yourself in much danger..

I was there 2 weeks ago and paid S$185 at the Ibis on Bencollen street. nice small room, good free internet, easy access near Little INdai for great food.

Note they had the smallest frig i have ever seen in a hotel, barely held 4 cokes cans!!!

Saw single rooms in Little india starting at S$45/night, dorms from S$18!!

Make sure u check out Resort international on Sentosa Aamzing!

exchange rate in sing to the $ was 1.28

I just booked IBIS, stay 2 nights and get one free, works out to be SGD 135 a night.Thanks for reminding me of that one, I'm grateful.

You are gratefull?

I am very amused by this - Ibis is rip-off!read phuketrichard's post.

From IBIS you can see YMCA on 1Orchard Rd.,for the same money you have swimming pool on the roof.

Good wi-fi you will get in any Singapore guest house,you do not need to pay 180S$ for that,18S$ is enough,

and wi-fi is free almost anywhere you go,even in some public buses.

If you want to splash and pay - stay with class:HolidayInnParkView is perfect.

Long time ago - more then 10 yrs;there was internet cafe in BKK whose owner was foreigner,the same person who had the first internetcafe in the world - which was in London.

ps.trying to be more helpful.

ThaiBaht is little bit odd currency,you did not earn yours Baht?you had changed your home currency to Baht,right?Better change your home currency in Malaysia,so you will avoid double change.

I earn my salary in Baht, so there is only one conversion from Baht to MYR, hence why I asked for it.

Yeah,I have mental block,I am afraid,it is one way traffic for me - in opposite direction!May be I am sending too much..

You can not send from Malaysia,leave some monies in LOS!

The very best rate for you is available on land border,places like Pasang Besar or Sadao,where you can change peer to peer,cutting money changers.

And for Thai Baht rate can be very different in many places,look around.Money changers in Sentral Station are located near AirAsia office.,they are not small.

What are the charges for using Thai atm cards in Malaysia and other countries?

Bumping a 2006 topic with slightly off-topic question..o-well...

On this opportunity I will ask:

what are the charges for using Thai ATM cards in foreign countries?

"The Qantas flight detected a mechanical problem shortly after it took off from Suvarnabhumi airport and the pilot drained the plane's fuel before turning back," he said

I wonder where all the fuel goes?

you are breathing it now...dont smoke!

ps.trying to be more helpful.

ThaiBaht is little bit odd currency,you did not earn yours Baht?you had changed your home currency to Baht,right?Better change your home currency in Malaysia,so you will avoid double change.The best rates you will find

from money changers in Kuala Lumpur Sentral train station - the place,where you arrive from airport by airport train or airport bus.Some money changers around CentralMarket and ChinaTown also give good or very good rates.

Airports in Thailand,Malaysia and Singapore give reasonable rates,but HongKong - is ripp off,and it is hard to find ATM there,it is place where Travelex rules,it is good to bring HK dollars cash with you.

@TAWP - read ThaiVisa!here SuperRich had very good press since long time;there were many threads about the value of airport changers in different countries.

You may discover,that what you want to change is not worth your time and taxi fare to SuperRich?Rates at the airport are not bad...You need simple calculator,or pen and piece of paper.

Regular express boat goes from TaksinBridge up to Nonthaburi,short trip will take you to Banglampu;it is very nice trip,fun and available until sunset.

I think,there are river boat cruises up to Ayuthaya.

In Kanchanaburi - you can stay in houseboats.

Technicaly - it is not Thailand,one side only,you are in Laos:go to Chiang Kong,cross Mekhong - from Lao side(Hua Xai) you can take boats down the river or up,

All sort of comfort and speed is available,slow,very basic and cheap(2 days to LuangPrabang),also slow but not basic,much more expensive and very expensive,delux style with accomodation,

also - very fast speedboats,no comfort,but quick.

There is another option - take boat to China from Thailand,information is on TV,easy to find.

In Asia - Rocket Steamer from Dhaka to Khulna in Bangladesh is worth of your trouble.

Looking at that bus,i will be surprised if it made such a trip.

Years ago,I traveled in similar vehicle,similar trip,but through South Asia,our vehicle did not look half as good as this Finish bus,but we made it - in both directions!

All it takes is persistence.

Oh no...............

expensive and no quicker...biggest white elephant ever....forget it

Expensive is - how much?and: from where?

I think - looking on the map,speedboats Pattaya-HuaHin should run,like taxis,since long time.

May be jetskis will do,after tourists refuse to rent them in light of jetski-scam scandal?like motorcycle taxis?

Why not i5 or i7?because this is netbook!You want i7 buy laptop from Allienware,or gamebook from Asus,MSI.Lamborghini design is design,the thing you see from outside.Asus have deal with Lamborghini,another comp maker have deal with

Ferrari so one is red,the other is yellow;they are made mostly for super car owners,their girfriends and...dreamers like us.I dont know,if you know - you can buy MercedesBenz bicycle;it makes sense if you have Benz in your garage,if not - would you spend couple of grands for ordinary bicycle?Lamborghini netbook,futered here doesnt cost much,it comes with nice Lamborghini themes on screen savers - ideal thing as Christmas gift for ambitious mia-noi?Think about it.

Could anybody tell me about requirements for Thais,who want to go to Lao on border pass?Do they need passport?or ID is enough?what about children,who do not have ID or passport?

What border points can be used?I heard about two - NongKhai and ChongMek(Ubon-Pakse),what about ChiangKong?

50 Baht is much less then 30US$ visa!

Any info will be apreciated.

In China they have bullet trains,even magnet train,but in Laos? - no train at all!But they have "sleeper buses" to China.

You can consider also - boat.There is direct boat service from Thailand to China on Mekong River;it was described here in TV,not long time ago.

Sometimes there is not enough water in Mekong;thirsty China drinks every drop.

I think you are out of luck. You have to clear Arrival Immigration in the Budget Terminal, then take a shuttle bus to Termianl 2 basement, which is LANDSIDE. Thus you would not be able to gain access to the great facilities you mention as those are AIRSIDE.

Maybe best to just book a inexpensive hotel room in town?

Changi T1T2T3BT map

I 2nd this advice;OP wants to pay 50$ for night in chair!Go to JooChiat road where you will find string of excellent hotels for 20S$ more,Fragrance JooChiat - you will have clean,nice room with plasma Tv,dvd machine,aircon etc.

If it is to much for you,go to Geylang Rd.(MRT station Aljunied) where hotels are cheaper(the best -:"Four Chains","Compass",also with plasma - 60S$);you can even stay in "Ideal Backpackers",which is backpackers hostel on the other end of Geylang street,(Kallang MRT - the next one),dorm bed for 20S$ or very nice room for 50S$(www.backpackers.com.sg);a lot of good,cheap restaurants;and some fun,if you are lonely.

It is not cheap -1US$=1.3S$;fun starts from  one hundred?

Budget Terminal is not connected with T1,T2,T3 by train,only shuttle bus,once you are inside BudgetT(after immigration),you can not move to T1,2,3

You can buy sim card in Malaysia - celcom is good choice,you can use it for international outgoing calls and broadband mobile,they are cheap,so you can even buy two!

Same about Singapore - Singtel or StarHub,but for mobile broadband you need special sim card,not to be used for voice calls.How cheap? - 80-150 baht.

Thai cards may work in roaming,but usually you need to activate them to roam(call their CallingCentre to do it),I think Thai sim can not send sms in roaming,but they can receive them(free);

receiving calls on roaming cost much money,making calls on roaming cost even more.

@sirchai This devious phenomena - drugs in our society have two sides,like two sides of the coin,they feed each other

one - consumers:people who enjoy their state of alternate conciousness,but more often - junkies suffering all sort of pains,destroyed lives,death or prolonged jail.

two - suppliers/biznes people - some of them getting rich quickly,some - ending in jail or shallow grave

Consumers often share their experience about misery of being junkie;Suppliers are mostly very shy,they are not available for comments and consultations.We are left with press stories,as a source of information.

This story,which we comment is about bizness:heroin smuggling,not about junkies.The guy who was caught, had it in his stomach,but it was his mean of transport !not consumption!he had some pills,not syringe.

I will repeat again my point:

Press reports with accented,inflated value of seized contraband encourage:CASUAL SMUGGLING and encourage new,greedy people to jump into drug bizness.

In countries,where they have clever police,they do not publish such stories,if they do - they have some agenda(they want feedback from public).

What is casual smuggling?example:housewife from Karachi goes to London to visit her sister,she knows nothing about drugs or bizness,never saw junkie in her life;but relatives tell her - take some brown sugar there!

you will make a lot of monies - but I am afraid! - dont be afraid,your cousin did it last month!made a lot of cash - how much? - I dont know,very much!-housewife thinks and she remembers something about drugs from newspaper and

this number 47000$/pound flashed in her memory-OK she says,but where I can get this brownsugar? - Oh!no problem,our neighbour can give you,you will pay him later,after you come back.She puts paper bag in her lady'sbag and she goes.

Many lady's bags from Karachi were caught in Heathrow!Ladies who were caught - never had any moral hindrences,they never saw a junkie and did not know anything about heroin,it was just bizness opportunity for them.

Similar situation is with African bizness people - they treat heroin as merchandise,it goes into secondary wholesale market in Lagos from there to Europe and US.there is price difference and they are happy with profit,

they are not aware of moral implications or they do not want to know.They are mostly nice,regular people,often with good education,never - criminals.

I have another example - about new,greedy people,I will pm it to you,you do not need to answer this post and do not send me pics with needles and syringes.
