  1. I had swimmer's ear with no visible symptoms for 1 year or more. The ear and nose doctor sent me away because he could see no visible symptoms. I googled the symptoms to verify and found what medicine to get, then I got some medecine from the chemist for like 20 baht and 2 weeks it was fixed.

    In some cases doctors are useful, in other cases they are a waste of a consulting fee.

  2. I always thought it was some kind of myth/scam myself.

    h

    There are probably more scam operations out there than real ones, but there are real ones. A real one would employ you like a regular job though, a scam would ask youto submit your details on a website, then spam your email and try to sell you more scam products.

    One of the reasons Thailand was so attractive to me was the food, both how good it tasted and was for me, but I'd like to add that one of the most popular, the balls in noodles soup, be they be pork, fish etc., are binded with borax which is quite dangerous to eat.

    Sad if true. Source?

    The Thai name for borax is น้ำประสานทอง, google Image search shows a bunch of meatballs.

  4. If you install google analytics (for free) on the website, you'll know exactly where they came from (which keywords), which country they are from, how many of them there are, how many pages each person looked at etc etc.

    If should be interesting to see the results.

  5. Taxi?

    II have tried a taxi before.

    No meter, refusal to go there, whatever.

    That is why I post my question.

    Had to walk.......

    If they have no meter, you can at least ask them how much before-hand. I think the cost was like 40 baht or so, I forget exactly.

  6. Never mind, these things happen.

    You're here now so ask us something else...smile.png

    So this forum isn't what I think it is? This forum is called Thai Visa forum, so I thought this was a forum for SE asian people. Are you saying I was wrong?

    Thai visa is for people visiting Thailand. A large proportion of those are probably not Asian. Also the website is in English, so that limits the audience even further.

  7. Maha sarakham high school with 3000 students (sarakham pitayakhom school) is looking for 1 or 2 native English speaking teachers.

    Pay is 30k plus 3k for accommodation. Position can be long term. Their alternative is getting working holiday people for a year.

    Qualifications are not particularly important if you can teach well, be reliable and make happy students and parents.

    After Tuesday they might go with their back-up plan and hire others, so you have to be very fast. If you have a friend who might be interested, tell them fast.

    If you are interested I guess you can email me or try to contact the school directly. They just ask me to help hem to find employees, I don't have a phone number but I could get one.

  8. Think he looked a tad more besotted by her...she looked interested in the treasure.......and an upcountry shin dig too....newbi.......shameful really and all that access to google he must have.

    .

    He only has access to Bing since Microsoft blocked his access to Google.

  9. I have bookmarked the New Content page. In the previous theme that page was clear...now it's lost all of its clarity. Particularly Hot Threads versus New Threads are visually identical. >_<

  10. You might be disappointed to learn that it's minced fruit rather than minced meat pies.

    Ingredients

    • 2 tbs brown sugar
    • 2 tbs brandy
    • 1 small Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, coarsely grated
    • 85g raisins, coarsely chopped
    • 85g currants
    • 85g sultanas
    • 60g glace cherries, coarsely chopped
    • 115g (1/3 cup) breakfast marmalade
    • 1/4 tsp mixed spice
    • 600g (4 cups) plain flour
    • 80g (1/2 cup) icing sugar mixture
    • 300g chilled butter, chopped
    • 2 egg yolks
    • 4-5 tbs water
    • White sugar, to sprinkle
    • Icing sugar, to dust

  11. I pay 2.4% + $0.30 with Paypal. Paypal makes it really easy compared to setting up payment processing through a bank. Paypal can be up and working in 1 day if you know how to integrate it.

    The Paypal commission can fall too, when you surpass $5000 per month revenue and further higher benchmarks.

  12. I actually like this type of slideshow and 14/15 mins. is about the correct length for my attention span, slideshows give me time to see the sights. Some stunning photography in amongst this stills video, thanks to the OP for finding and sharing it.

    Cheers ImageDude B)

    My attention span is 2-5 minutes. I never had such a clear comparison before.

  13. No banter Mac, it's a commonly discussed question among expats and those who want to be.

    I live on about 30,000 a month but I don't pay rent.

    My main bills are electric and TOT internet.

    The car insurance and tax once a year which is the main domestic bite out of my budget, comes to about 18,000.

    I eat well, mainly cook for myself, and drink very little now days.

    Is that tax from a domestic job?

  14. It sounds like a gimmick, but so is peoples belief that situps will burn stomach fat. Situps will increase your muscle mass, but barely burn any fat. If you want to burn fat you have to burn more calories than you consume. Cardio is better for burning calories than situps, anything that gets your heart rate up like running and swimming. Also you need to spend more time doing exercise to burn more calories, 300 situps is like 5 minutes of exercise.

    I wouldn't pay 1000 baht for the equivalent of 5 minutes of exercise, it'll take 1 hour to earn the money to pay for it. Rather than working for an hour you can walk for 5 minutes instead.

    300 situps will burn about 60 calories.
