Topics I've Started

Using Digital Flash Cards For Small Groups Of English Students

2012-03-02 15:43:26

I've just started to teach English to groups of 1 to 5 children.  I haven't got a colour printer as I rarely need it and go to my local Print Shop as and when.  I don't want to get a laminating machine and thought that perhaps I could use digital flash cards, on say an Ipad or 7 inch tablet, which I have access to.

I'm interested to know of any experiences and especially what software comes in handy - Google Docs (Presentations), perhaps?  I say this as I would probably need quick access to cards at various points in the sequence, instead of just  'Backwards and Forwards' arrows.

Phone Data Connection - Package Types

2012-01-16 11:30:44

I have AIS Unlimited Data at  the moment but my circumstances have changed and I want to change packages but don't understand the Data signal types, as AIS offer different packages.  I would be grateful if someone could give a layman's explanation about the different types I've heard of.  I know about 3G but I see 'Edge' most of the time on my data signal and then there are times I see 'H' in say Chiang Mai or Bangkok.

AIS have data packages that have Edge only as well as (3G and Edge).   I'm wondering what happens if I have an Edge only package and go to a 3G signal area; would I get stiffed for the 3G 'Per Minute' charge?

I never used a data connection prior to coming to Thailand.  I've been contemplating how people use say the Megabyte download limit versus the Hourly limit.  It sounds difficult to know how many MB as each page is different.  It sounds easier to roughly remember how many hours I've used.  Having said that, does AIS give a facility to keep an eye on what you've used eg a free * number?

Chiang Mai Immigration - 90 Day Report

2011-12-09 23:11:32

I went to get my annual stamp from CM Immigration today.  Afterwards I got a photocopy to do my 90 Day Report, which was due next week.  I usually post it and problem free for over a year.  
I send the following by post:

    Completed form.
    Original of existing 90 Day reporting slip.
    Photocopies of passport pages
       -  Photo
       -  Present Visa
       -  Departure Card

  & SAE, just in case someone asks.


Today, at the office, I was asked to get a copy of the Airport Immigration stamp from mid 2009, when I last entered the country.   When I asked why, as I mentioned that I haven't had to when posting it, a finger just pointed at my Departure Card date stamp.   Does anyone know if they've changed the requirements, or should I just shake my head in disbelief and remember - T. I. T.  ???????????

Chiang Mai Immigration - 3 Things At The Same Time?

2011-11-07 19:14:36

I've submitted my extension for my marriage visa.  They gave me a stamp to get the 'Golden Stamp' for another year, on 11 Dec 11.  That's a Sunday, but the next day is a public holiday, so I guess I have to go on Tuesday 13th.  I say this as I'm guessing I can't go on the previous Friday(9th).  I'm planning to get a Re-entry permit for 'Justin'.  My 90 Day Report is also due on 18th December.  I normally do the 90 Day by post, but am I completely barking mad to think I can get all three in one day, especially after a bank holiday?  Would I better to go for just the 'Golden Stamp' and Re-entry Permit?  I don't fancy waiting all day when there's a likelihood that I won't get seen for all of them on that day and so I wondered if maybe I could drop the 90 Day stuff with the copies etc at reception to be acted on as done by Post?

Re-Entry Permit - Just In Case.

2011-11-02 15:18:09

I've just submitted my Married Visa Extension and when I go to get the 'Golden Stamp' to cover the next year, I want to get a Re-Entry Permit for emergencies.  I've looked at the form and it asks for the dates you're expecting to be away for.  Could anyone using it from a similar approach let me know what is acceptable to Immigration?  Many thanks.
