Anyone who has successful added funds thru' your personal saving account or cards to PayPal/Alertpay from Thailand, please explain the method?]]> Sun, 23 Nov 2008 09:10:47 +0700 http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Add-Funds-Paypal-t224361.html http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Rent-Car-t224196.html Where can I rent a pick up truck in Chiang Rai?

Parking is 60b at the hotel behind if the street parking is filled up. They are trying to make some arrangement with the hotel to make things even easier!]]> Fri, 21 Nov 2008 22:57:07 +0700 http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Owners-Queen-Victoria-Pub-Cm-t224176.html http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Mae-Salong-Contact-t224175.html Fri, 21 Nov 2008 22:52:23 +0700 http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Mae-Salong-Contact-t224175.html http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Living-Mae-Salong-t224169.html I have spent some time in Thailand, mostly in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rae, but I have never found my Eden. Outside of an internet connection I need little comforts. I speak Mandarin some since I lived in China for seven years; are there still a lot of Chinese speakers in Mae Salong? Also, are modest inexpensive homes available to rent?

Be warned they are charging £38 per kg, which you have to pay before you are able to check in, a couple in front of me showed 20kg over, no surprise the lady (a thai girl) just ditched half of her belongings right in the middle of departures rather than paying the excess charge.

Or does anyone now where I can get an aftermarket charger for the D60/40? I am in CM for another week. Would also like to know if there is a camera club here. An Canadians around? Freemasons?

Every Christmas people take a off from their busy schedule. This is the time they can enjoy with their family and friends. But how can you make the Christmas holiday unforgettable? You may hold a party, stay with your family, play games and exchange presents; or for most Christians, it is a time to worship God and go to church.

Whatever you do, it is certain that you want to keep this happy memory forever and share the joys with your family and friends. Many of us take photos, keeping details of every happy moment. A Photo Flash Slideshow as I introduced today may give you more enjoyable experience of photo keeping and sharing.

You can also make a slideshow as a Christmas gift for your family and friend, showing the happy moment you spend together.

What should you prepare?

The first thing you need is slideshow software. A good slideshow software is easy to use and gets rich templates. A good choice is Photo Flash Maker – up to 8000 downloads, #9 in web design catalog at download.com. I assume some of you have already known it. Photo DVD Maker is also the one I heard that is pretty nice. Other like Proshow, Polaroid My Memories Suite Polaroid Corporation etc. is good as well – it is able to insert video but cost much money.

Second, Christmas photos. Take Christmas photos to record every amusing moment of Christmas and make them organized – by event or friends group – whatever you can reach your audience.

Third, once you pick the pictures, you should think about the music complemented your photo slideshow. The best music you choose should express your feeling toward the pictures or can fully tell what is in your photos.

Step-by-Step instruction

With all these things consider, we are now ready for making a Christmas photo slideshow. Now I will take Photo Flash Maker for example, give you the step by step instruction.

First, go to www.photo-flash-maker.com and download Photo Flash Maker


Second, add and edit pictures

Click “Add” button and add the picture you want. Drag and drop them to rearrange the slide order in the lower window. Upon the “edit” button, you can:
1. Edit the picture info, including title, hyperlinks, picture description, and transition effect and rotate the pictures.
2. Add texts to the picture. You could select different letterform, the size of the letter and the other common setting.
3. Add some carton pictures to make your photo more interesting.


Third, Apply transition

Click “Transition Effect” and begin to set transition effect between photos (This step is not necessary if you want random transition effect). You can drag and draw your desired transition effect to replace transition effect between two pictures. From the preview window, you can see how it works. You can also set the transition duration, photo show duration.


Fourth, choose a theme and add background music

Please go to the “Theme” interface. There will be basic and advanced templates. You can select your favorite template and add background music.



You can also choose “Christmas basic theme” as below:


Fifth, publish

The final step is “publish”. There are three output options under the publish window. If you want to enjoy flash in your computer or upload to your own website, you can select “Create Flash File Only”. If you want to make a Gift/Presentation CD/DVD, select the second option and set CD/DVD recorder, recording speed and label etc, then click “Start Burn” to create a Gift CD/DVD. The third option is for you to upload your photo slideshow to Go2Album and share your joy with your friends and even more people.


Note:Go2Album is a free flash web space for you to upload, share, comment on, and view slideshows created by Photo Flash Slideshow Maker.

You gentle people wouldn't know if there is a chiropractor or the likes around in Chiang Rai somewhere?
I have a friend visiting and it unluckily enough his wife started out on the day second day with a lower back pain. She knows what it is and usually visits a chiropractor for it.

I will give the hospitals a call today I think but maybe there is a place hiding somewhere else.

Thank you very much.]]> Fri, 21 Nov 2008 06:35:49 +0700 http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Alternative-Medicin-Chiang-Rai-t224038.html http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/People-Hills-t224016.html
One of the students who took part in this project, Lahu student Winai Chaso, will make his first "solo" sculpture exhibition next December 13th.

The exhibition will take place at Insii Thai House and the benefit of the sales will be shared in two; half for for Winai and half for the Chao Phya Abhai Raja Siammanukulkij Foundation.

Some examples of his creations can be seen here"
The exhibition is by invitation only, feel free to send a private message if you would like to attend and encourage Winai.]]> Thu, 20 Nov 2008 21:47:25 +0700 http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/People-Hills-t224016.html
