  2. I was prescribed a CPAP machine + mask from a hospital in bangkok (piyavate) and ordered one from a reliable site, (cpap) but I got this message trying to track my order via UPS:

    Bangkok, Thailand12/17/20111:24 P.M.An import license is missing and is required for clearance.

    what can I do about this? I need the machine... doctor recommended it to me, a second one here in CM ram hospital recommended ordering online. Thoguths? Definitely need some help with this! Asked UPS already, but no response over 30 hours or so. Thanks very much

  3. I am having a hard time finding this, I can't find any grass fed meats, besides one t-bone steak I saw imported from Australia at the tops in Central Airport Plaza, was 950b/kilo. Any restaurants use grass fed beef? Any where to buy grass fed meats, butters, etc? Eggs are easy enough to find, but meats seem to be quite difficult. I have heard some of the thai local beef is grass fed, but I have heard mixed reports. Anything?

  4. I have heard of people paying as low as 8,000 for a yearly membership, but I just went in to get a quote and they said 13,000 for a year, 10,000 for 100 hours that can be interchangeable. Anyone know what the deal is? Thanks

  5. just checked dealership on huay kaew road and a honda cbr 250r was 110,000 without ABS and 125,000 with, didn't include anything extra. + Insurance was 136,000! How much would a normal price be for a new 250r w/w/o ABS? How much would a 2nd hand one drop in value?

  6. Currently have "WETV" which is okay.. cheap and has some basic channels, but I would like to buy a sports package with stuff like NFL games, MLB NBA in addiction to football/soccer games. HDTV would be nice as well! I hear mixed/mostly poor things about True platinum/gold, but will look into these.

    Thanks

  7. what is this liptovan I don't receall seeing it, will try a google serach though : )

    monster "yellow" don't remember the name, the one with juice, was always my favorite, features guarana as well which is more slow releasing of a caffeine than standard stuff. Tastes great as well. Low carb monster or zero is also much healthier.

    M-150 tastes like heavily sugared cough syrup to me.

    Favorite one in Thaialnd is "Shark cool bite". Me and my room mate kind ofw ant to order these by the box instead of having to go to 7/11 every othr day and clean out a row.

  8. I believe that this whole service charge is a complete con, and no more than a cynical way for businesses to increase profits.

    It's not only Spas that do it these days, it's hotels and restaurants, how can service at a hotel be an extra? the same goes for restaurants, everything should be costed into the price. What next, Tesco, gas stations, bus and train journeys? all require an element of "service".

    I asked the very same question recently and there wasn't a definitive answer, save that it was a method of bolstering profits.

    Definitely agree, especially with the case in Oasis Spa. I know people who work there are working over 100 hours a month at an average price of 3,000 baht/hour for a massage, so about 300,000 baht/month. If they got that 10% service charge, that would be substantially more than their entire paycheck. It certainly goes to the business profits, and not only does it just line their pockets, but it also hurts the people who work there, as the norm is to not tip once you are being charged a service charge. The masseuses there received a lot of tips before they added the service charge, now it is very rare to get a tip.

  9. At least they eventually get released.

    In the West people keep birds in little cages, fish in little bowls, gerbils in boxes and dogs in houses for all of their natural lives.

    Obviously there are cruel people everywhere, just look at Spanish Bull fighters or gaming dog breeders. What makes it difficult in this case is that it is in a temple, really the one place it shouldn't be.

    100% my point. agree d
