Has anyone done a visa run to Hong Kong for a non B recently? I just need to know if they keep your passport just overnight or for 2 nights.

Does anyone know where I could download Thai audio tracks for movies?

Does anyone know of an LPG station near the intersection of Ekamai and Petchburi?

Hi everyone.

My friend is going back to his home country, but it doesn't look like he'll be able to get his car sold before he leaves, so he wants to transfer ownership to me to sell for him.

I have a couple questions about this.

For the seller (my friend):

His work permit and non-B visa expired a few weeks ago, so he is on a tourist visa. So to sell the car, he needs to go to immigration to get a certificate of residence, correct? Does he need anything else (other than the car book and transfer papers)?

For the buyer (me):

I have a non-Ed visa (I'm doing my master's here). So I will also need the cert. of residence from immigration, right? For this, what do I need to take with me to immigration? Is a copy of my lease agreement enough? Will I need anything else for the dept. of land transport to transfer ownership?

If anyone has any other advice, it would be much appreciated.

Hi everyone,

So, this is not actually a question about teaching, but for teachers and parents.

I have to move back to BKK in a few months and I am looking for a decent school for my 9 yr-old daughter which will not break the bank. Her English is not nearly good enough for the international schools (not that I could afford them anyway).

I'm looking for a school of good standard which charges somewhere in the 20k-50k per term range. Any advice which you have would be great.

Does anyone have anything to say about these schools:

Daroonpat School
Thai Christian School
St. Joseph's (in general or any of the specific campuses)
Assumption (especially the one in Bang Na)
Triam Udomsuksa
Any other bilingual schools or schools with EP

Thanks everyone.

PS- I, myself have been a teacher for 8 years, so I know firsthand that the tuition and prestige of a given school does not always (or even mostly) translate into a superior education, so I wanted to get you guys' opinions.
