When you're in your thirties it's very hard to make a new friend. Whatever the group is that you've got now that's who you're going with. you're not
interviewing, you're not looking at any new people, you're not interested in seeing any applications. They don't know the places. They don't know the food. They don't know the activities, If I meet a guy in a club on the gym or someplace I'm sure you're a very nice person you seem to have a lot of
potential, but we're just not hiring right now. Of course when you're a kid, you can be friends with anybody. Remember when you were a little kid what were the qualifications? If someone's in front of my house NOW, That's my friend, they're my friend. That's it. Are you a grown up.? No. Great! Come on in. Jump up and down on my bed. And if you have anything in common at all, You like Cherry Soda? I like Cherry Soda! We'll be best friends!

Says it all for me.

Ahh you mean, actually  making the plan more comprehensive as in France, Scandanavia, Australia etc.?
I think one step would be the nationalisation of the hospitals or at the very least the implementation of a minimum provision of services requirement. The USA is a lot like Thailand with its lack of a  true national  health system. Thailand's excuse is that it is a developing nation. The USA doesn't really have one and that is why it has some of the worst health stats in the developed world.

Unfortunately, many of the big US health services providers have their grubby hands into Thailand's hospitals and are offering the same advice that has kept the USA with a crippled health care system with overpriced services and some of the most expensive drug prices in the world. It is incredible that the same  EU based pharma companies can manufacture and distribute their drugs in the EU and Canada and offer them for sale at a fraction of the cost in the USA. Thailand's  private hospital system follow the USA pricing model.

I can't bear those dogs. There's invariably a sense of menace about them. And their owners for that matter. The whole breed, along with their tattooed owners should be placed in a giant industrial mincer, ground to a pulp, and eradicated.

Nuclear is not clean energy by any means, what does one do with the non-biodegradable waste? Don't these reactors need a lot of water to keep them cool? Let's put a nuclear reactor on a river that recently just about went dry, and that they blamed it on the Chinese. So let's put a bomb in a populated area, and give China the means to set it off. The whole thing sounds stupid. Nuclear energy is not progress. More "healthy white" propaganda from the ignorant.

thank you everyone for visiting and thank you every messages  especially 'all the COMMENTS' I really appreciate that.. so now I know what have I done wrong

First thing I would like to say sorry to the webmaster I forgot that I shouldn't leave my private e-mail address here! but I believe that it's ok to post about the offers like this .. am I right?

To Mr.Todd
I will have to say thank you to let me know that ' Foreigners don't have to learn the culture of the place they live' it's a new thing for me!
but I can guess why you believe that this idea is alright.
I'm not saying that you're wrong Mr.Todd cause everyone can think different ! We're in the land of DEMOCRACY!( someone wouldn't agree with that tho lol )
so your opinion is reasonable !!!!!!   and I can accept that so .. if you really don't mind the lessons which might have some arguments
p.s. Sorry for the EXTRA FONT .. there was something wrong with my laptop . last night the letters I saw was sooooo small so I increased the size of the texts and I didn't know that it will be this bad ! SORRY na ka!!  ><"


Dear Mr.Edwardandtub
Thank you for your comment and I've had enough foreigner friends and I taught them something for free but now I just have an idea to start to teach it for money  

Dear Khun Grungthep
Thank you for the questions . They're good questions . I have a plan how to teach but I didn't wanna post it here cause it might make my posts too long and some people would get bored of reading
but if you would like to know I don't mind to tell you .
Honestly I don't have an experience in TEACHING Thai lessons but I've taught some of my foreigner friends and some told me that I should start to have an idea to teach for money.
And now I'm studying English in the Language school in the city . I can say that it's a FREE English class because the school needs students for the trainees that are studying to get there certificate to teach English.
So I have an idea to teach from how the trainees teach me.
I have an idea that I need to get my students to do Pre-Tests so I will know what level they're and what do I have to teach them and how would they be happy to study.
My way to teach would make you feel like you're a kid cause I will give you many pictures and make you describe the picture as much as you can.
I will give you the papers with vocabularies in English and teach you what are those words in Thai . I will make you remember and I will give you a test .
I will keep teaching you in Thai and talk to you in Thai and I think that you will learn to use Thai that way too .. because that's the way I learn English .. I just speak a lot and listen a lot.
And as it is just conversation lesson I might just take you for a walk and point out to someone and ask you what's she/he doing.. or what is this..
I will make you learn like a child ! and make you speak ! ... I will speak Thai even you don't understand it ! cause I taught my nephew that way too and he's learnt a lot ! lol
AND This would make you unhappy cause I  don't have text book for you.... My aim is to teach you to speak and when you can speak I can teach you to write later
well
that's something about my lesson plan  You might be happy or unhappy with it .

And I added that I've graduated from Law School because I was thinking that this post is like a CV ! and I'm trying to apply for a career lol I know that degree has nothing to do with teaching but I want to let you know that I'm quite well educated. I'm sorry if that annoyed you

By the way I agree that there're some good Thai movies  but this is just about  the taste so I can say that I agree or disagree ! but Fan Chaan is one  of my favorites!

Dear Khun Peppy
Thank you for your reply and I agree with you about your view of culture.~! and it's quite embarrassing to say that I've been living in Thailand for 22 years and I always learn something new about Thai culture ! Culture is a mysterious thing , isn't it ? .. You just know that it exists but you barely know how did it happen !
And in my opinion , nobody has to change their culture to be in other countries but at least they should "RESPECT" the cultures in where the live in as well as the local people will respect the foreigners' cultures because they're foreigners and because they believe that human beings could learn the mistake and do something with it ... right?

Dear Khun Makescent
Hahaha I'm not sure what are you talking about  maybe they wanna exchange culture , travel experience , or ........ something else?

Dear Khun Harrry
Thank you for your reply.
I know about that point too but honestly I'm not so keen on being Thai Teacher for all my life cause I have 2 Masters to do in Australia and Europe in next 2 years.
I just trying to find someone that 'would' like my teaching style and sorry I didn't leave the information about how will I teach.. that's a big mistake in this post.
I started to think about this teaching style because I studied to speak English by talking to my professors in university and my mixed cousins and my dad .. the way they helped me learn was to talk to me in English and let me struggle in curiosity but finally i found that I can understand them ! and for me TEXTBOOK is important too but it couldn't help me to speak English that much !



Dear Khun Bifftastic
Thank you for your reply  and thank you for supporting something in my mind for a bit
well I think learning Thai culture would be useful for speaking Thai because just so you know. Thai language has many levels and we use different words in different situations  
and I just want my students to speak right Thai for right situations .. so it would worth there money ! lol

Dear Khun Kikenyoy
just like I've told someone before ... I've had enough of language exchange  so I just wanna start to make money  but thanks for the information


Dear Khun Dobadoy
Thank you for your support  I really appreciate that .
Well I know that the way I questioned Khub Todd was not Thai way ... I got it from my foreigner teacher .. he always leave the question like this ! lol and I found that this kind of question always bring someone's idea out !
And all the posts are ok for me .. I'm not a weak mind lady who's gonna cry when I got complaint ! I accepted or the opinion and I will learn the mistake and do something with it !
But thank you for your kind text again !  and thank you for wishing me a luck na ka



Dear Khun Kokesaat
Thank you for your reply  I reckon that I should answer you in Thai but my laptop cannot type Thai right now ( it's all because the virus from free download files ~~~ T^T )
so I find that it's hard to learn to WRITE before you have an idea what sounds this language has or some words.
Even Thai students in kindergarten learn to speak English by conversation with foreigner teachers ( and they get paid more that 35k a month which is really cool! ) then they teach them some alphabets then teach them how to mix the alphabets to make the words ! and that's the way it should be ..
it would be harder in Thai cause we have many sounds ... such as ... 4 different 'p' sounds , M  , CH sounds, and so on ! ... but I know the way to manage those sounds and how to use them easily but on top of that
you need to know some words or phrases first !
and it will be so friggin easy if you know many phrases and words before you can write
good to hear that you're getting improve with Thai language by the way  


i think that's enough for tonight I wish my reply will make my post clearer .. thank you everyone and all the messages sent to my inbox about the lessons
goodnight !

For the OP, the Thai movie on the billboard looks like it stars Mitr Chaibancha and Petchara Chaowarat. Mitr was killed in 1970 making a movie at Jomtien so the photo predates that. I will stick to my original guess that the photo shows the intersection of Phya Thai Road and Petchburi. The first shop down the road looks like the Duangdao Hairdressing School, which is still in the same location and the First Hotel is further down the road. The big sign on top was removed in 1988 after a deadly fire where people were rescued from the roof by helicopter - I think that was a first for Bangkok.

To the best of my memory, the 22nd July Circle did not have a fountain in those days and that was a later development. I do remember that Phya Thai Road had traffic circles at most main intersections.

Nobody knows what was going through this (psychotic) guys head - and there can be little doubt that if the story's true, he's a v dangerous person.

Its a reasonable assumption though that he met his wife in a bar, and when she left him (as she realised he had no money and was a nutter to boot!) taking their child with her, he lost the few marbles he had left.

He was not only (presumably) incredibly angry with his wife, but tarred all bar hostesses with the same brush and didn't think of them as human beings at all.... His true nature came out v forcefully.

If the story's true - and we have no reason to disbelieve it as he's confessed - he needs to be imprisoned for life.
