I know they banned all shisha shops but is it still possible/legal to smoke shisha privately at home? Is there any place selling accessories?

When i receive money (small sum) via paypal to my thb account is the money considered to be coming from abroad and can i get FETF form for that?

If this is the case can i get FETF form for money received 2 years ago?

Is there any restrictions on moving this money like if i want to sent them to bank in another country?

Am i able to use money from my thb bank account which was deposited via paypal in small sums over the years (so no foreign exchange form on the hands) ?

What instruments are there?

How liquid they are?

Does it really help to protect money from inflation and thai-usd exchange rate fluctuation ?

your baht is worth the same as it always was unless you plan to spend it internationally.

Which I have been saying for 30 years or so - that 3 baht bag of Cha Dum Yen will still cost you 3 baht doesn' matter what the exchange rate is...........if you live in Thailand, enjoy the high exchange rate, when I first came here the baht was 20 for a $1.......but we lived well on a thousand $'s a month.

Many food prices gone up by 100% and more for the past 6 years. Few examples:

1. Big Leo used to be 32 now 56.

2. Fuji set 180 baht now 320.

3. Coconut in lotus 9 baht now 35.

4. Phat thai kung in street kitchen 30 baht (8 shrimps) now 50 (4 shrimps).

5. Live shrimps 1 kg 120 now 280.

The inflation is big and weaker baht will drive it up faster. Therefore your savings in baht will lose in value pretty fast. So far the best solution (except investing in business so money make more money) was to open offshore account and keep money there.

With current exchange rate (35 baht/usd but who knows if it will not become 45 baht/usd) what might be a good way to reduce the loss if a person has some savings in thb? I was thinking about opening USD account but had some kind of trouble with banks do not want to open or asking for work permit or listing some very high fees on deposit/withdraw.

finasteride, minoxidil and ketoconazole

Also can anyone advice hair loss clinic where they can find the reason (which is male pattern boldness most probably but just to be sure) ?

There is no screws to attach cables but plastic pinches. I am confused.

I know kiss food, simons place on soi 5. Anything else?

Good portion size does matter.

If you go to sattahip 300 baht a boat

FOODMART in Jomtien is a TOTAL RIPOFF

Box of cereal 285 baht same one in Friendhship 225 and in Villa 217 !

Another item in Foodmart 50 baht same one in Friendhship 40 and in Villa 37 !

it badly needs 7/11 in the same square. Like instead of that useless beach front real estate agency.

How very true. Villa in particular really has gone down.

I noticed that too. I was rather offended by a cashier there that gossiped her way through the checkout job, never met my eye, didn't greet me even though I did to her, etc. I don't really need a wai, but that really leaves a bad taste. That said, I'll shop there if I need stuff and it's convenient. Not there to flirt with the cashiers ...

Honestly, that kind of bad treatment kind of makes me want to be rude back. How can you be rude to a cashier that doesn't care?

If I'm shopping alone, I just stand there looking at their face until they are forced to look at me, then I give a big smile and exaggerated "thankyou" - to emphasise my good manners.

If I'm with my wife, I just stand back and put my fingers in my ears...

1.pick a number

2.square it

3.divide it by the original number

4. substract the original number

The result is amount of fuc_ks the cashier gives about your good manners.

Syrian Christians fear genocide if Assad falls

Catholic bishops are warning that if the Bashar al-Assad (left) regime in Syria falls to Islamists, there may well be a mass genocide of Christians, such as seen in Iraq after the fall of Saddam Hussein. Though Christians cannot support the brutality of the Assad dictatorship, few believe that rule by Muslim extremists will be any better.

Christians in Syria make up about 10% (2.5 million) of the population

“It’s on the edge of civil war,” said a Christian businessman, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he feared for his safety. He said he originally supported the protest movement, but now stands with the government after witnessing incidents of sectarianism that make him fear for the future of Syria's religious minorities.

What will happen to the Alawite population of Syria if Assad falls?

The Alawite make up about 15% of the Syrian population (3.5 million out of a 2010 population of 22,457,763). if Assad is forced from power then the majority of Alawites will flee Syria for its neighboring countries and abroad.

The remainder that stay will either be ethnically purged from many areas or be killed in retribution.

just give them your phone number and price you want. usually lifetime 10000-12000 baht. they will call you by the end of a month.

Don't do this unless you want them calling you every month with 'offers' ... they bugged the hell out of my wife a couple years ago...

Once you get membership they stop bother you. Never received a call from them after.

FYI I paid 8000 for a year.

I paid 11000 for my lifetime a year ago.

Alernative.... buy Leo, add 25% soda water .... you got yourself american tasting beer :jap:
