I find the Bing Translator does a better job of English to Thai, or Thai to English Translations.

In Topic: Pheu Thai Target Thai Youth With Its 15,000 Thb Salary Scheme

the minimumsalary guaranteed policy and a business fund to university students where thefirst institution will be the University of Thai Chamber of Commerce beforegoing elsewhere both in and outside of Bangkok



This sounds like the only salary guarantee is that a newgraduate can get a 15,000 baht job at the University of Thai Chamber ofCommerce for an unknown length of time, before trying to get a real job. It doesn’tsound like this is necessarily a minimum wage that will be enforced on allcompanies.

why install the water heater directly in the shower anyway, and not earlier in the water circuit, outside of the shower cell?

My thoughts exactly.  My last two places have been built like this, and I wouldn't live without it. It's a simple low tech solution and it is crazy that every shower isn't built like this.

a noble animal.

:rolleyes:  what makes one animal more noble than others? ;)

It's a zoo.   As far as zoos go in this part of the world, it's even a pretty good one.   It's long established and far better managed than for example the Night Safari, or any other zoo in Thailand or SE Asia with exception probably of Singapore Zoo.

Singapore Zoo, by the way, has polar bears too.  http://www.zoo.com.s...0&l1=5&langid=1

I don't know if those are the same polar bears I saw about15 years ago at the Singapore zoo.  Atthat time the poor bears looked more like dogs in bear suits.

If you can show an onward ticket you may get a 7 day extension for 1900 baht.


So if I try this, I should be a flexible ticket in case theydenied my request.
