Most monks don't live where tourists are going to be staring at them. The ones that do are used to it. Very few tourists bother them. They realize all too well that foreign tourists have never seen anything like them before. Many monks are monks only temporarily, especially the young monks. Both.

I don't know very much about it, but I do know that legally a school cannot hire foreigners anymore who are not licensed teachers. That came about due to foreign pedophiles who got teaching jobs. I also know that a friend, someone who is a licensed teacher, got a job teaching in a private school. They started him at 25,000 baht per month.

I agree, but I do not assume that everyone would want to make it automatic. Perhaps the programmers can put in place an option for automatic notifications, including the ability to disable that option.

I am not quite following what the problem is. Under 'watch this topic' you have several notification options. You can also select the 'view new content' option when you visit this web site. What, specifically please, are you looking for that is not already available?

Yes, they are grown in Thailand and products containing them are sold in upscale and health food markets. You might also try the Chatuchak market. Go on a Wednesday. That's the day they bring in all the plants, so one of the vendors may have the plants or the berries themselves if they are in season.

When it comes to visa run companies, I've never heard any horror stories.

Most are quite reliable, but ask for recommendations on various Thai message boards. You might also ask a good hotel who they recommend.

It is free, however, if you are calling a toll free number in the USA.

Most are quite functional. As a matter of fact, a great many are 'tops'.

Finding specialty products in Thailand can be quite difficult. Stores, even stores that carry imported products, tend not to stock items that don't sell well. There are stores, however, that are willing to special order specific products. Villa Market does special orders. For Zone Perfect, the first place to try is Abbott's Thailand location: Abbott Ltd. 2/4 Nai Lert Tower Floors 5, 5A, and 9, Wireless Road (same road where the USA embassy is) Lumpini, Pathumwan Bangkok 10330 telephone: 02 657 5555 If that doesn't get you anywhere, you might try health food stores, higher class spas, or upscale shopping malls such as The Paragon in Bangkok. There is, of course, the alternative of ordering online. For Zone Perfect you can order online at: http://www.abbottstore.com/Adult-Nutrition/ZonePerfect/icat/zoneperfect&source=zon Zone Perfect also has a toll free customer service number: Customer Service Phone: 1-800-258-7677 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. EST With programs such as Skype, you can make free calls to toll free numbers in the USA.

Entire books are devoted to tips for people new to Thailand. You're asking too broad a question. If you have specific questions we will be happy to address them.

That does not seem correct. Who gave you that information? Normally, if you are working for a school, then the school handles all the necessary paperwork to get a new work permit. If that is not the case with your school, then it would be advisable to visit your local immigration office and ask about the procedure.

Suvarnabhumi Airport Link Sets Soft Launch for December 5 BANGKOK, Sept 5 (TNA) The long-delayed Airport Rail Link project, providing direct rail service to and from Suvarnabhumi Airport, will start providing free service to the public from this December 5 which coincides with the birthday celebrations of His Majesty the King, said State Railway of Thailand (SRT) Governor Yuthana Tupcharoen. People interested in free rides on December 5 may apply for tickets beginning October 1 at either the Airport Rail Link office or at SRT headquarters, Mr. Yuthana said. Test runs of the system have been conducted since February by Siemens, the manufacturer and installer of the rail system, and no problems have been found. However, independent engineers will inspect the safety system for the next three months and if no problems are found, the system will be ready for operation. The SRT board has also hired Deutsche Bahn International of Germany for Bt85 million to train Airport Rail Link staff. The board exports to launch the system on December 5, Mr Yuttana added. The 28-km rail link connects Suvarnabhumi International Airport in adjacent Samut Prakan province and the City Air Terminal in Bangkok’s Makkasan area. The Airport Rail Link is owned and will be operated by SRT, through a subsidiary company, which will administer the overall operations. According to a preliminary study, the fare for an express trip will be Bt150 per person, while fares for the City Line commuter trips, will vary from Bt30-50 per passenger. Transport for airport express riders and local commuters will run on the same track with the same equipment, but with a staggered schedule. Premium-fare express services will run on the hour between Suvarnabhumi Airport and City Air Terminal, while the City Line service will stop at six local stations along the route.
