» Silly Soap Question |
|
Jul 04, 2009 - 11:57 PM - by DaveP
|
I know I'm gonna catch it for this one, but here goes anyway....
For most of the time I've been in BK, I've been buying a certain 'herbal' soap that I've been quite pleased with. I found it at a big discount store on Sukhumvit, I think between soi 10 and soi 12 (in the same little area as Sunrise Taco, Pizza Co., etc.). Then the store closed down about a year ago. I've tried some other brands of bar soap but don't care for them. For example, I don't like soap with skin cream in... [Read More]

» English Preparation schools |
|
Jul 04, 2009 - 9:43 PM - by thefossil

I am not sure this is the proper forum for this thread, but here goes anyway.
I have a Thai grandson by marriage who has decided to become an English teacher. He is M6 right now and is hunting for the right school to prepare for his future. What he is interested in mostly is conversation type English. Grammar is far down the list if he can find the school he wants. He also wants as far from BKK as possible and still be inside T'Land. As you can see by my sentence structure I am... [Read More]

» The internet service here Sucks |

Okay, I have maxnet/TNT and the service goes from great to shit and back to mediocre. I keep my hair at 2mm so I can't pull what little I have left out!!  I am so fed up with never knowing if it'll be working or not I'm ready to pay anything (well almost) to get good service. My question is; is there a satellite connection that works 90+% of the time. I already know that... [Read More]

» My teacher-agency provides no salary-slip |
|
Jul 04, 2009 - 5:47 PM - by Fastanne
|
The agency which placed me in a government-school doesn't give me any salary slips. I tried to complain, but it was ignored. I wouldn't complain if they would just transfer my whole salary, but they deduct some money for tax. They didn't even have my tax-ID. This is so weird. Since my school is in the woods I have a hard time to find out how much tax was taken from my salary. Does anyone experienced something similar? Can this be legal?
Thanks in advance.

» A startup guesthouse |

Jul 04, 2009 - 2:07 PM - by keegohng

Hi everybody!
My friend and I are heading to Bangkok in a few weeks from Korea in order to find a job. Just wondering, do any of you knowledgable folks know of a decent guesthouse we could stay at during our search? We don't mind sharing a room, but has to have A/C and a decent bathroom. Preferably a place in a good area with some things to do, or not far from things to do.
Any help greatly appreciated  ... [Read More]

» True 8 mbps Blocking Newsgroup Readers? |
|
Jul 04, 2009 - 10:14 AM - by ricklev
|
I was excited to move and be able to get True 8 Mbps. However I use a paid newsgroup reader called Graboid and it just crawls along at 20 kbps or so,with a lot of speed variation and then ends up stopping completely and will not restart without rebooting the modem. With maxnet Premier, Graboid was consistently and steadily downloading at the maxed out speed of 200 kbps or so with no problems.
Anybody have any experiences with True and Graboid or Easynews or other newsgroup... [Read More]

Hi!
Any recommendations for condos/apartments in the area between Bangkok University and BTS (On Nut, Phrakhanong or Ekkamai). Price should be somewhere around 10,000 THB / month.

» Lying Doctors at Param 9 Hospital |

I went to the hospital today, have been feeling a bit unwell the last few days. the doctor said I had a viral infection (made sense) and would give me anti biotics. I got home and googled the drug name he gave me, it turns out they are used for motion sickness? It is not the first time something like this has happened there for me, on another occasion I was given pills for epilepsy to help with my muscle twitches. The pills made me really ill so I stopped taking them, then went back. I made it... [Read More]

Looking for a place in BKK to go for Urology needs. I know Samitivej and Bumrungrad are considered quite good, but all I have is Bupa insurance and I know those are both quite expensive. Any thoughts or experiences?

» Questions about renewing a tourist visa |
|
Jul 03, 2009 - 6:18 PM - by RhenoA380
|
My two-month tourist visa runs out in about a week, and I have questions about renewing it.
1. Can one still renew a two-month tourist visa in Bangkok for an additional month? I know this used to be the case. But it's been a long time since I did it.
2. Where does one go in the immigration office to extend a visa an additional month, assuming it can be done? Lots of changes have happened in that building, or so I've heard.
3. Does extending an... [Read More]

» Had Yai advice urgently needed |
|
Jul 03, 2009 - 12:21 PM - by Loxley
|
I'm flying to Had Yai tonight with the original plan of going over to Koh Lipe tomorrow morning for 3 days but since the island is half empty during this season, the accommodation options are limited, I had estimated that it will cost me in all 11,000 (inc return flight) before I even start to spend money.
So...Im pondering alternatives and asking anybody down that neck of the woods if they can recommend anywhere relatively close to Had Yai that would be nice and inexpensive for... [Read More]

» Another VISA question |
|
Jul 03, 2009 - 11:32 AM - by Sciacca
|
In order for me to obtain a 1-year multiple-entry non-immigrant B visa, I must show proof of a confirmed onward ticket. Can I just purchase a cheap $30 one way ticket to any of the neighboring countries?
This seems like a silly rule to me because they are giving you permission to be in the country for the entire year, but at the same time they expect you to know exactly when and where you will be leaving/heading to. Who plans that far in advance?
