Thailand Holiday. Do's and Dont's.

In my four years of living in Thailand i have caught up with several things that might be of interest to people wanting to visit the Kingdom.
Please note that all these are based upon personal opinion and experience.
Generally speaking this is a hot and humid country. Most foreigners visiting usually complain about the humidity and heat. Thus, if you are planning your trip please consider arriving in the months December and January. This is the cool season whereas the early morning and late evening temperatures are wonderful and day temperatures are moderate. 60% of the population live in rural areas and are generally poor. As the culture is many family members work in the major cities like Bangkok and Chiang Mai. Money earned here is monthly sent to the family in the rural area.
The perception is that foreign visitors have plenty of many. Thus, you will be done in or taken for a ride if not careful.
I always ask myself the question: When visiting why do you want to stay in the most expensive hotel or resort? Hey, discover the country and the culture! It is so different from what we are used to. Bangkok offers extremely affordable and comfortable accommodation for half the price of the main tourist hotels. But most tourists are not aware of this. Don't spend 2/3 days shopping in Bangkok and then depart for one of the resorts like Pattaya/Koh Samui or Phuket. Do yourself a favour and visit the countrside and mingle and stay with these people. At half the price and much more rewarding. An excellent idea right from the beginning of your holiday is to get yourself a Thai guide. Not only to show and guide you in and around Bangkok, but also to do your shopping bargaining for you, which will result in massive savings. Most Thai's in Bangkok can speak a little English but in the countryside very rare. Here communicating and bargaining is a nightmare.
Watch out for taxi/tuk-tuk drivers. They will detour you to your destination and stop at several shops where they get commission to bring foreigners to. In Bangkok rather make use of the public transport which is very cheap and reliable.

Affiliate Marketing

Personally i think this is a great way to generate extra income. Important though is to do your homework and join a program that has a good product and is straight forward and easy. Also i've had some set backs with recruiting referrals which just did not work out etc...etc...
Look for something that all online home business's will need at some given time. May it be exposure,hits,traffic.....
On the top right there are some programs that are not to bad. Check it out.
Just for interest. I'm including a pic of a Thai singer with the name of Peacemaker. Excellent stuff. Will post one of his songs later.

How to find True Love in Thailand?

Easy question for me to answer.
Been here nearly 4 years and i have a couple of friends always visiting on holidays and looking for that perfect, beautiful Thai girl. Sure, here are many beauties and very sexy girls. Almost anywhere you go in Thailand you will find them. But the most prettiest girls you will find here come from Udon Thani. One of the provinces in the north of the country.
So. Can you find true love here???
Yes, sure, absolutely!
If you have/are:
1. A bank balance averaging a couple of million.
2. Property in Thailand on your girlfriends name.
3. Retired and not knowing what to do with all your bucks.
4. Willing to support the whole family of your true love monthly.
5. Driving a Fortuner/Bee-m/Merc/4x4.
6. Don't worry too much about your budget being blown out of proportion monthly.
7. Being devoted,faithful,sincere to your true love and not eyeing varsity or young schoolgirls.
8. Staying away from places where the action is= Nana Park,Pattaya,Phuket,Koh Samui etc....
The decision is yours. Or as Thai people like saying " Up To You "

The Online Blues

So, now i have a computer, an internet connection and plenty of time.
Past are the days of playing games and checking out some nudies. HOW TO MAKE MONEY??
Ok, so i start browsing for options and having a look around. The 1st option is of course PTC and PTS. Man, this is unreal. You have to spend your life behind your computer for the pennies they pay. For sure, there are Paid to read mail programs that pay not to bad,but the payout target is just simply unrealistic. So, if you join today and start reading and clicking their mails you will get paid in one years time if you're lucky! I WANT TO MAKE BUCKS NOW, NOT IN ONE YEAR!
Next option: Affilliate marketing?
