    Superb Studio At Sukhumvit 13

    in Thailand Accommodation Finding Forum

    Posted

    Sukhumvit Suite prices for studio room starting around 13000 for not nice decorated, old fashion rooms and up to 18000 for good ones. The location is the key...I stay here for one year already, and posponed my "check out" to 22 of November, cause my True contract will be done then. Want to move to one bedroom condo, not more than 25000 baht, any ideas guys?

    Deposit Boxes? In Banks Or Post Office?

    in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments

    Posted

    Been to Bangkok Bank yesterday, same result they told me that the boxes are full...will try few more branches today. Maybe they should charge more, and then it will be free... :o

    I have tried in the past to get a deposit box at most branches of SCB (my bank)  in Pattaya/Jomtien with no success, without fail I am told they are full, (also tried one branch of Thai Military Bank, same result)

    Having mentioned this on a previous thread,  the replies tended to suggest that because I am foreign, the banks are loath to comply, as due to visa regulations l may not be around very long.

          Would be interested to know which bank you rented one with Thetyim, thanks for any info,

    Question About Double Entry Non B Visa

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Posted

    The visa run went smooth yesterday, only took a bit more time to come back, cause it was strong rain. Be careful not to pay the 100 baht to the group of the guys sitting inside the Cambodian Immigration and filling up the arrival/departure cards for you. The officer will ask you for another 100....The good thing on Thai side, that foreigners dont need to wait together with Thais anymore, it is a separate que for us..:-) Next time I would like to get my car inside Cambodia, even checked with some immigration official, anyone have first hand experience on that one?

    Luxury Car Rentals

    The car rental companies around Lumpini/Sathorn has few Mercedeses etc, but when I asked them about they say, that those cars come with driver only. It means they not trust you to drive it by yourself. The cost was about 8000-9000 baht per day. I personally rented Merc with driver from Landmark hotel to go to Nakhon Sawan for only 6000 baht, so maybe check with your hotel for best deal.

    First up, what the other guys are telling you is exactly correct.

    Why not just get a book, read about the techniques and then go out and practice them. Doing this with a buddy who is also trying to learn the ropes is great. It gives you motivation, and some top days out doing what you love!

    Ive been doing this for the last year, and have seen my results improve drastically.

    There are also a couple of cool websites out there where you can upload your fotos, and they will be commented upon by other enthusiasts and professionals which is another great place to learn things. www.usefilm.com is one of the ones that i use.

    Basically, learning to do it yourself is much more rewarding than trying to pay a photographer to teach you. I'm lucky in that one of my friends is a great Photographer, but even so his input is minimal.

    Ive been into fotogprahy for almost a year now and am still learning new techniques every time i go for a shoot.

    My shooting buddy just bought a Nikon D70 which i am helping him figure out and learn to shoot. If you want to join us on any of our shoots, which are just fun days at cool places then PM me. I spend my weeks in Phuket, and weekends in Bangkok.

    :o

    Good response.

    Anyway Doi, regardless of attitudes present, you have a great opportunity to shoot as many photos as you like as you learn without spending thousands on film and processing - something many photographers rank as 'paying your dues.'

    Quite frankly, photographers have split personalities about teaching:

    Personality #1: If you love photography and share the magic they will share freely.

    Personality #2: It deserves its due reward as a profession, especially when training the competition, and it deserves to be duly paid or you pay your own dues.

    I'm what the industry has coined a 'graphic arts technician' - a marriage of digital and traditional backgrounds in photography and print technology.

    Get plugged in to your local photography community, attend the photofairs, check out Nikon's office on Sathon Praksin, tell them what you want...everything begins by asking and not giving up. It will help you clarify your goals.

    Photography, the art and the science, (and light for that matter) is continuous and contiguous. It never ends. So if you want to start the journey, PM me. I'm leaving for China in about a week and I don't know when I'm going to be back. But I may be able to point you in a few directions.

    sawadii dude... :D

    Thanks for you good(and not so good) replies. I havent defined my goals in here and few other conditions, that's why you dont understand my need in professional that can review my previous works and point in the right direction. It's ok, I'll use that place only to find the right person, without discussing anymore.

    I thought you wanted someone who knew what they were doing with a camera? I didn't realize you meant someone who could take a snapshot.  :o

    But seriously, there's so many websites with tons of advice; The Rule of Thirds, depth of field,... adnauseum.

    Practice and learn what you personally like. Unless you're out on a National Geographic assignment shoot, I doubt a few mistakes in self-learning will ruin your photograhic psyche.

    One cant learn painting by look at websites...photography is an art, I understood it, that's why I dont want just make a pictures, I want to control all aspects of it, and I need a good teacher for learning to create special ones...

    Another stupid idea that probably will die in month or two. How long it gonna take Thais with their "excellent logistics" to check what numbers are registered and what are not? Few years? Blaming phones for bombing, how about ppl that make those phones explode? Probably it is some business reason for this noncense...i think I know who gonna benefit, dont you?
