I reside in Singapore but met a nice girl studying at CMU in Chiangmai. I agreed to help her out with her student expenses and was wondering if the amounts she indicated are reasonable. At her request, I sent her 9500Thb for school fees last month. Now she says she needs 8000Thb this month. Can anyone tell me if this is reasonable requirement for a university student in Chiangmai?
Its a bit light to be honest. She must like mama noodles. Lucky you!
Are you posting from Iran?
It was dark as the devil's oxters here, when you posted that.
I think the OP is unreasonable to require a student from Chiang Mai. I think he is being too specific. No wonder he is getting charged over the odds.

Shhh SC we need the money for the "struggle".
I find "the struggle" hardest when I have money in my pocket.
I've rarely jumped in a taxi into town at 1 am with an empty wallet.
Coming back is a different story...

Most young people have this sense that they are special, and everything they do or have to say is worthwhile.....sadly, they are dilusionally mistaken...

Unfortunately we live in the Facebook era. Everyone wants to share their exciting lives with everyone else online. Look, the whole world, I just turned on my hair drier and dried my hair, whoopie!
Apart from TV which is an agony aunt for those burnt with Thai girlfriends, or those with a love/hate relationship with Thailand and feel like winging about it!
Now THAT post is spot on! I know friends who every single thing they do is posted on Facebook. And, what endure said is also true. I was conviced by a fellow writer to join Facebook and I'm now not so sure I should have. I keep getting messages saying I am now friends with someone I don't even know.

Quote Don't people bottle up and repress their emotions and hide their private lives any more? Whatever happened to the stiff upper lip and swallowing the bitter fruits of experience?
SC ... with a statement like that, you would have to be a Pom?
I'm wrong ... oh, what the heck.
BUT ... I do agree with the premise of your proposition.
Maybe it's the newer members who are more forthcoming with their experiences?

Well they should jolly well bottle it up till they know how to behave on a public forum. Sadly, I fear this is not the best place to learn such behaviour...

I'm hearing you ... BUT remember we were all newbies once (I'm still finding my feet with some things).
Maybe the anonymity of the Forum is akin to having more then a few beers ... the social graces and inhibitors are diminished or removed and the get the raw naked poster ... attractive or not.

A family member hounded me to setup a facebook account to share some photos, so I relented. Now ex-girlfriends from the last 20 years have tracked me down.

I think she's learnt her lesson, and in future will restrict her postings to cynical abuse of her fellow posters, and boasting about how little she spends on subsistence.
Its a good reminder to us all that no matter how righteous our cause, there are those who would abuse and desipise us for it, and no matter how much we have suffered, there is still room for some more suffering from abuse by our fellows.

In the beginning I couldn't empathise with her.
In the end I had nothing but sympathy for her.
What I felt was sadness for her in the end, her situation, how she perceives the reality around her and the tone of the replies she recived.
I know it's a sweeping generalisation but sometimes woman don't want their problem sorted out ... they just want to talk about it.
Where us men, give us problem, we'll analyse it and offer a solution.
Sometimes woman just like a chat and maybe a feeling that others feel the same as her.
Snowflakes chance in hell of that here in TV ... especially in the 'General' section.
