It's cheap because it's a shit university, for the most part, except for its law school. Many of the students are absolute crap and go there because they can't get in anywhere else. The only thing...

You can buy one on the street, really cheap when you get here.

Judging from your post, it would appear that English is not your first language. So, English-teaching is probably out. They are making non-B visas and work permits harder to get, unless you know how...

My comment on the Living in Thailand thread that Thais are gutless wonders applies here, as well.

Exactly. Until there are tanks rolling up Suk, and there's blood in the street, there's nothing to be too alarmed about. That is less likely to happen, than in the past. For one thing, PAD is in...

I'm not sure what control he has. It's hard to say. But, to give you an idea of what kinds of land holdings the RHB has...they own everything from Parragon Shopping Mall, to all of soi Lang Suan, and...

Forbes has got it slightly wrong, I think. They seem to have wrapped up his personal wealth with holdings of the Royal Household Bureau, which are not actually his, but belong to the institution.

It's a remake of the 1999 Thai movie of the same name and directed by the Pang brothers who made the original, as well. A friend who has already caught this one says it's not as good as the original....

Good one. I'll let you know when I leave. :D

Giotto. I wasn't having a bad day. But, Amjeck opened a can of worms. You know me. I won't go quietly into the night, so to speak.

Sure. Endless discussions about fake viagra, where to buy a digital camera or the latest news about US custom Nazis searching laptops for porn are ever so entertaining, by comparison.

Can you...

If you actually took the time to read my earlier posts you'd know that I've often said that coming here in your 20s to teach English for awhile and have a bit of an adventure is a good idea.

Good one! My definitive response to this prick is in the photo section.

You sound like some young, arrogant wanker to me.

There are plenty of guys here (like me) in their 50s and older who DO have some semblance of a pot to [CodeWord140] in and have also...

Unless they have money stashed away or are retired and on a pension and are merely teaching for something to do (and to get a work permit and visa, perhaps), these individuals are just underachieving...

Yes, perhaps a little harsh. But, Opebo constantly yammers on about most Farang making only 30-35,000, failing to realize that most of those are young ESL teachers here for a year or two to get some...

We've had this discussion before. But, there are a lot of Farangs in private business as well as those teaching at my level making a hell of a lot more. Most of the expats I see around town are...

Good one. :D

$1,200/month. really? That's all? You poor, poor guy. :)

For the moment, I'm still here and hope the baht goes down to 25/$ which is what it was when I arrived here.

Well, let's hope not for those of us who actually work here and earn our money locally and have to send some home.

It depends on which branch of Top Charoen you're talking about. I shopped for years at Top Charoen on Sukhumvit soi 22; always got good service and good quality and was never once pressured to buy...

There's a 'Top Charoen' (chain of eyewear places all over Thailand) on soi 22 on the West side across form the motorcycle taxi stand, close to the Suk intersection. They aren't too expensive. I...

Does she still do the Indian buffet on Sunday? I haven't been in ages. That used to be a very good deal.

I don't know if you know any Thai. So, appologies if you already know this.

Many Thais are vegetarian. In fact, at the end of the rainy season in October, the whole country goes veggie with the...

Tamarind on Suk. soi 20 is vegetarian. As for salads, try any of the Sizzler Steak restaurants (MBK, Siam Discovery, Major Ekkamai). They have an all-you-can-eat salad bar for around 159 baht, I...
