Re: The best Anti-mosquito protection or spray
Avoid DEET at all cost. One of the worst poisons you could put on/in your body. I use the natural citronella/eucalyptus oil spray and it works well for a few hours. If I will be out for a long evening I take a small bottle with me and reapply when I feel them biting. Spray yourself twice or poison y...

Re: Depression / Bipolar Disorder
This thread is bullshit! I'd rather kill myself than read anymore. The OP is still ignored, the thread is now tainted so regulars will avoid it and I think you all deserve the OP an apology for having it out on a thread that took a lot of courage to start! I come away from this feeling just like I d...

Re: Fighting Off The Selfish Option
Sorry Sarge and to everyone else who is not going to like this but, I reject your premise. You've found relief through a new wife but, again forgive me for being blunt, that doesn't sound like a "cure" rather a very potent distraction. My humble opinion is all. I'm glad that it has led you...

Re: Why do expats who can't speak Thai resent those that can
Frank, I'm not closed of mind but when I take the time to write a well constructed post about the expat culture here and get called a troll I think I have a right to be offended. Fine, so you guys don't want to talk about it (or anything else I have contributed either but that's unrelated) or think ...

Re: Why do expats who can't speak Thai resent those that can
This discusssion is IMO, off the dot. Suggest you use your time on something more productive. :blabla: :troll: Suggest you keep your judgements to yourself if you want anyone with a different take than you on things to participate here. I'm offended that you called me a troll. Got drawn in by the a...

Why do expats who can't speak Thai resent those that can?
OK, so this post might lose me any goodwill I've garnered since joining the forum but here goes... As mentioned by another forum member in private recently, I have noticed that in the Thailand expat community people who don't speak much or any Thai often shun expats who have learned some. I'm not su...

Re: Glasses (optical variety)
Top Charoen is to be avoided. They are cheap and you will get what you pay for. I took a pair of very special lenses to them to be fitted into new frames and they destroyed the lenses, in retrospect I should have known better. The coating looked like laquer that has run when wet but, they still had ...

The Jellyfish Thread
After my girl was stung a while ago in Cha Am, I've spent several hours the last few days perusing all the info here and on other forums about jellyfish in the area, including following links to other sites and I've come to 1 conclusion after all this... VINEGAR You should have a bottle of vinegar i...

Only other place I know is Suan Dusit Rajabhat University directly opposite the airport entrance. They offer hospitality majors in airline / hotel / tourism.

Re: Fighting Off The Selfish Option
Thanks Sarge, I will take you up on that offer, maybe sooner than later. I'd like to have a look at Pranburi, one of my colleagues lives there. Is that a big Tesco on par with the new one in Tha Yang down there? It would be fun to hop a train from HH, how long is the ride, 20 min? The darn trains ne...

Re: Mental Health Services Overview & some useful links
I did get your reply in the welcome forum BB and I appreciate you passing that info my way!
The, admittedly snarky, post you quoted from me was a frustrated reply to nanyang about a miscommunication. All sorted now though.

Re: Mental Health Services Overview & some useful links
Yea, I must be too stupid to get it. I did read the forum rules before posting but I missed the starter pack. Many apologies for that! I've read it now and I still don't get it, whatever it is that I'm missing. That I need 10 posts before I can send a PM? I read that elsewhere on the forum and it's ...
