Been rather busy spending long hours surfing affiliate programs/money making programs.
Discovered a couple of new ones. My main goal currently is to get my e-gold account funded asap. Had some success with some and still waiting to get paid by another. Playing the online head/tail instant game proved lucrative but it is a hell of a gamble.The e-gold batch number game is also not to bad and made a couple of $.
It is an ongoing struggle and hopeless battle to get my internet speed up to an acceptable level. TOT(Telephone of Thailand Company), advertise their high speed internet for about 600baht per month. Very cheap, but boy oh boy!. The connection most of the time is up to s...t. Best time to get anything done is my time 02:00 or 03:00 in the morning. Approaching the company and getting some response is a lost cause......
Visited Bangkok the week-end and spent some time browsing shopping areas,markets and just having an outing.Not to bad. Most interesting news the last two weeks is the anti government protests in the city. What really amazes me is the amount of support the PAD(Peoples Alliance for Democracy) has.What makes me think is all these people sitting outside government buildings and premises day after day but don't they work???. Also noticed most of the riff raff type are active in the protest? Already the railworkers joined the protest and airports at Phuket/Had Jai are temporarily closed. Protesters are now also threatening to cut power and water supply to government institutions but this will surely also have effect on the private sector. Will have to wait and see what the outcome will be????. Maybe the current prime minister should just step down and let things go?

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 "
