Hi M.M I can't and anything to what VF has just said, he has a way with words. So glad you two have  adjusted to our lovely province and city. I don't know anything about electric teck but I am sure there must be a way/ patch to making you Tv / video working properly. I think you might hear from some of the resident teck experts.

Thanks for the update and synopsis well done continue to explore and enjoy.

I think many people get the impression that ThaiVisa offers a platform for severe and often insulting criticism of Thai cultural and political behaviour..... excluding criticism of the monarchy of course.

 

Having lived in Thailand for about 14 months many years ago, and having visited the country many times more recently, I have my own view on Thai cultural behaviour, and it's generally very positive.

 

However, my main gripe is the congestion caused by the increasing  number of tourists. If the criticisms by members of ThaiVisa can slow down this escalating tourism, as a result of negative advertising, then I think that is also positive, from my perspective. ????

 

People who criticize others are often just projecting their own faults and deficiencies onto others.

I'll take this opportunity to thank those who sent best wishes or visited me in in hospital during my current illness, I still have several months of treatment to go during which I'll not always be available to moderate here.

 

....however, ThaiVisa staff will still be monitoring it closely. :cool:

 

 

I'm sorry to hear about your illness. Whatever it is, I hope your body fights back forcefully. Get well soon and take care.

I was simply acknowledging the veracity of the OP’s observation that several westerners told her they do not like ThaiVisa.  No reference was made to the distant past.????

Nothing on the web is loved forever. Thai Visa still serves a valuable purpose, information. As long as that is true some of us will stick around.

I would say that I was well prepared to be back to my own country from engaging in Thaivisa. I am really appreciate those who provided me with valuable information. Of course, there are some nasty comments, but getting involved in the World Wide Web is to expose yourself to the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly ???? So, pick and skip! When I mention Thaivisa to some folks here, I do with appreciation. And some said Nay, and I said "Hmm!" (interesting -- in my mind). Anyway, I can't thank you guys enough.

Just enjoy your stay, keep your own counsel and don’t fall prey to the negative forces which abound.  Finding that you have little time for this forum is a good sign in my opinion.  You are obviously keeping busy and gaining experience through doing.

I didn't even think about checking into thaivisa until fairly recently .  Guess I was keeping busy, as VF points out as being a good thing.  Time and age has me looking at the computer a bit more nowadays.  Now if I can only remember not to fall prey to those negative forces !   ommmmmmmm

Hehe. I am a new member too . Today is my 20th day and I love this place. Processing visa and property to relocate to Chiang Rai will be my main focus over the next 2 years. However I am too shy to open a topic to say hello to all the seniors here ???? I hope to see you some days in the future. Hehe. 

if anyone has information abt hill land (quite and far from the city is good)'feel free to contact me. I stayed in Maechan area (near Doi isara and its amazing there. Would be nice to build a house there or Maesalong nai/nok).

 I will go back and forth between SIN and Chiang rai to process everything. I am really excited about the new life here. 

a peaceful place with an expat community (well educated and friendly) that i find pretty interesting to watch the discussions everyday. Hehe.

250 baht/hour for relaxing massage -- that's it.

350 baht/hour for curing massage. Everything's included in the price. You check in at the massage unit, the nurse check your vital signs and sends you to see the doctor. Then you go right to the massage bed and have a wonderful massage for 1 hour.
