You are wrong. I have too much going on in Thailand, that you will someday perhaps find out about, if you visit museums and art galleries. 

You left out all the incredible Temples?

Update: I had a buddy from EP (I'm regular kids) read out his contract (I presume it's the same). There is no mention of holidays, only 10 days for sick/personal business. Looks like we're screwed. but they have lost all my good will. I'll finish the contract in March and leave.

That's a proactive  approach.   Maybe they'll offer you a renewed contract with better conditions.

Surely if the UK Embassy confirms this that’s enough ?

A little more time spent in Thailand and this'll become crystal clear.      NO!

Would you be more happy back in the air con English pubs?

I thought so..

You speak almost entirely of materialistic and monetary gain, not everyone places such importance on that aspect of their life, Circumstances and priorities are constantly shifting. To some, people and experiences are more important.

 

Each to their own, who is anyone to judge that its right or wrong. Its just different.????

Money is absolutely not important unless you lack it and need it.

I didn't know they had casinos there. Just checked out the one East of Siagon..Near Vong Tao.

Looks like a nice place.

Just over $100 a night for 2 people.

Free shuttle from the airport.

I think I'll make a trip over some time this month.

Maybe make a group trip...anyone interested?

Any dates in mind?

Beer is a lot cheaper, food is a bit more expensive, accommodation is about the same.

More hookers than Thailand, if you sit in one spot alone for more than 10 minutes (day or night) you will be propositioned. Loads of girly bars.

First-rate public transport, HCMC has an app letting you track all the buses. Beaches are very clean.

An unbelievable amount of the locals speak really good English (unlike the Thais).

Yeah, just tell it like it is.

You can't even get out of customs before you get hounded by beautiful ladies wanting to offer free sex.   Right?

Let's just say, judging from your English,I'll be able to do something you can't do,vote 2018 mid terms and 2020  Presidential election.

Dario,

You seemed to leave out some important details.

1.    What was the shipping cost?

2.    How much did the item weigh?

3.    What, if any,  were the duty fees you needed to pay?

I'd love to use Amazon for far more than my Kindle purchases.

Thing is i've always paid 8 baht a unit where i've stayed (1 bed studio/hotel rooms)

 

But usually my electric is about 1000-1200 a month for 12-14 hours use, including very old AC units

 

Now i'm paying nearly 2000 for 6-8 hours use. The brand is TCL which i've never seen before and looks nearly new, also has a very noisy built-in fan which is constant and there is no option to turn this off.

Call an aircon service company to help you.  

They won't charge more than 500 THB.

"boasting about assaulting women"!

  There is something more important to KC and many American's,then a Billionaire's comment on a attempted smear by the low life far left,which failed miserably .How ironic it was to vote a man that bragged about his civilian sexual encounters while listening to the opposition describe him as con artist failed business man.

It seems rather odd they still pursue the same narrative. Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results,sick.

Brilliant retort.

In this instance, I'm confident more and more  citizens will become aware of the divisive  nature of the current POTUS and choose differently when the next opportunity presents  itself.

Are you brave enough to publicly state your citizenship?

I  tend  to question if you're even  old enough to vote based on your post.

Government rate of  4.5 THB /KW HR

   No, I wont be starting a petition .

A ridiculous suggestion  to even think about it 

My goodness,  you really don't understand scarism do you?

Good luck in finding a cheap place to buy your beer.

Please post the results for  those wanting or needing it.

You totally failed to grasp the simple point.  

If you were a female I think you would have understood it.

If you are a bar owner, i can understand your frustration.

Perhaps it's just me, but, more often than not, i have the sensation that i should the one to be paid a drink for bothering to talk with those ladies

Maybe that's why you never get shouted out for a drink.

i appreciate what you're saying, Tug.

Unfortunately, it's approaching nearly two years of lying to the American public.    I feel like I'm looking at a new and improved version of Richard Nixon.    "Your President is not a liar".

    Because no one would take any notice of that petition  

Exactly!   But unless you try and fail you'll  have wasted all your anger.

The other poster had the perfect solution which was to buy cheap beer and  drink it in front of a 7-11.

WOW.

Does this connection require a one year contract?    When a former neighbor told me how wonderful his internet was he forgot to mention he signed a required  one year contract in order to get it.   He moved shortly after I did and I wonder  what his cost were to transfer that service to his new residence?

   And if the exchange rate was 150 Baht to the Pound and a large Chang was 100 Baht , I would have had a few more beers there and not came home and posted on TV

Why don't you start a petition to have legislation passed to roll back the beer prices to 1950 levels?

You may end up sending a PM to the proprietor of the business in question, or at least someone who then makes the PM public.

BTW, the thread is almost 3 years old.

Thanks for your concern.

OK if I simply send you a name without any other information attached to it whatsoever, I can't see how that could be construed as harmful. 

How does the date of the post matter to anyone?     It's still an active thread, or at least it is at this time

Of the various opioids, I think that Tramadol has one of the lower possibilities of addiction. When I need to take it, I seem to need 150 mg to kill the pain. When the pain is gone, I have no desire to take it again.

FWIW, the doctor who performed my root canal and seemed unfocused has a graduate degree in dentistry from Harvard. The hospital where her dental clinic is one that I have patronized for many years and received mostly very good care.

I went to a dental clinic in Issan for a root canal.     It stands out as the most modern clinic I've personally  ever seen.   That goes for  both the office and equipment.     The dentist who worked on me specialized in root canals.

He initially told me the process would require 3 visits and cost 9K THB.

I never felt he hurried the process but at the conclusion of the second visit he said it was completed.   

Final charge was 8K THB.    That was three years ago.   

It's a Forrest Gump kind  of thing with the box of chocolates.
