      Why you not teach him English ?

    Speak to them in English everyday and they will be fluent within a few years

    tried for years but as he grew up in a village that is practically using thai everyday and media of all form are in thai he feels that there is no need to learn it. my wife and i had been encourage him but he just ain't doing it  

  2. piece of serious advice by someone who live here long enough - if you have 10 million baht to spare i strongly advice you to invest it in something else. if you are talking abut malaysia second home - malaysia honor it commitment that is all i can say here - you apply they approve you come in and live 10 years minimum fuss free. if you are looking for a work permit do it the proper way coz if one day this programme got terminated early or change criteria you be stuck in hell hole

  3. should have tiered system for different level of cc and also mandatory big bike training for at 8 months to 1 year with thorough training on driving methodology eg defensive driving / responsible driving / traffic rules and all this have to be drilled into the learner brain until it become second nature to them. learner must be thoroughly accessed from theory to driving skill to basic but important maintenance of the bike with a high minimum passing rate of at least 95% only then should license be given.   lastly heavy penalty system for breaking the law in tiered level too like in singapore where you be deducted points from your license per year and once that point is completely deducted  - off to court plus ban on driving for a year and license test must be re-taken after penalty period has passed. i believe this will make people more careful about driving. in fact this should be extended to all vehicles and even small bike must go through 6 months mandatory training mentioned above 

  4. once i stay at a hotel here in bkk and the bed had lots of bed bugs and when i feed back to the reception they dismissed it and i went back to the room and caught a few and put in a plastic bag and went back to the reception and show the staffs - guess what the staff did ? quickly took it and dump in the garbage can behind their counter. i got so furious i insist to see the higher authority, so the manager came and i brought him to the room to show him i wasn't telling lies. but unfortunately his non urgent body language tells me to move to another hotel right away. went and found a clean bed and room and stay for 3 week. it amaze me that they are willing to lose business but not face.

  5. dart12 - you need to go back to immigration to get and confirmed your extension ( second stamp) of stay coz there might be a chance of you not being extended and that will land you in overstay status. so by going on the 16th oct you will know for sure. amnesty extended till end oct but your applied extension still need to be confirmed. ( i personally had seen someone who did not go confirmed his extension and was actually denied )

  6. am not certain why but at certain school in a certain province - each new school year students of primary level have to buy i normal broom and a hard kind of broom like road sweeper use for cleaning purpose in the school - imagine a school has 1000 students equal to 2000 brooms in that schoool imagine the shock i have when i saw that. it's unnecessary burden on student parents. school wasn't that clean anyway

  7. big biker need to have special training for at least 6 months by qualified instructor for driving skill ( not showing off ) cautionary and defensive technics coz most big bike i see here is speeding and weaving in and out of traffic recklessly and taught how to behave properly on the road and also a very stringent test with a not easy passing rate of at least 95% and every 2 year must retest, penalty for traffic offenses must be heavy too

  8. won't work as train fare to xxx and calculated by per month it's probably cheaper to go around by motorbike and its faster too coz lets not forget from house to bts station probably another 10-20 baht times 2 trips per day - lets say at 59 baht per trip ( 59x2 per day x 26 days = 3068 plus motosai to and fro bts station lets say 10 baht per trip x 2 for 26 days = 520 baht + 3068 = 3588 which much more than pumping petrol at pump. and at 3588 it might be even cheaper driving by car especially where one destination end will lead to another destination by another vehicle where travelling on foot is not possible as it is too far. at 3588 per month for a low income lets say at 15k a month minus 4k for rent, 2k for food 1k for mobile, 5k for sending home to parent and a miserable balance of 3k. a new motorbke like a honda scoopy is zero down payment and repayment is so low and even with installment plus petrol is still lower than travelling by train
