I find regular showers help...

Well, you can´t stop and shower in the middle of the class. They aren´t complaining of odor, but of seeing people get soaked with sweat. I took up to four cold showers a day when it was hot, and ten minutes later, I´d be damp again. It helps with odor, and makes you fell a lot better, but it doesn´t stop the sweating.

I wouldn't expect to get a good job here. Teachers are in demand but of course get paid just a few bucks. Make money back home and spend it here.

You said you are very good with computer, have you try to contact IBM company in your country? If you get the work, IBM have many positions available in Northern Thailand-Lumpang or Lumpoon. It's well paid. IBM is definitely in need for Lead Software Architect. You can ask to be transfer to Thailand. In order to compete with thousands of Thais who have post-graduate degrees, you should be fully capable to work independently and show your qualities are above average educated Thais. Those Thais can speak, write in both Thais and English, many know Chineses, French, German, Russian, and other languages. You can meet many female Thais who don't need your money if you go to the right places. Have you try Dok-Yah bookstore? Walk around Thamasart University for a change of scenery lately?

So i'm thinking of moving to Thailand, and need to get some work there. What sort of jobs are good to get into, I;m pretty good with computers and stuff, maybe I could try teaching for a bit.

Any advice gratefully accepted. or if anyone knows of a good job on offer.

My first love was a Thai girl, she used to work in a local bar too!
Everyone used to say she never really loved me and was only with me for what she could get. But I knew deep down that she really cared for me, otherwise why would she only charge me half price?

I think if you really love her you should throw caution to the wind and just go for it. Who cares what she does for a living, so what if she works in a bar down some alley, if you have feelings for her ....... Just do it!

Life's too short for regrets, I myself often wonder how my darling "I Lai Yu" is,
and how it would have all turned out????

" be alert and get an aids test , 300 Baht at the local clinic ."

Wise advice, but be aware that a person who becomes infected with HIV does not show seropositivity (test results=positive) for a latency period. Depending upon the test used and the clinic you can be told the latency period is from 6 weeks to six months. These days I am inclined to believe that most tests will show about 96% (guessing) who are infected as positive within 6 weeks. At six months 99.9999 will be seropositive.

In short, you cannot tell if a person is HIV infected until they are seropositive but they are able to infect you. Wisest is to use condoms and commit to an exlcusive relationship or truly believe that they (and you) have had no other partners for six weeks and then get tested.

Even there condoms generally do "some" to prevent the transmission of HPV (venereal warts) and very little to prevent the transmission of HSV (Herpes Simplex). Oral/genital sex can transmit oral herpes to genital site, or genital herpes to oral site. Oral sex can also transmit other infections such as gonorrhea.

hey mate.im hearing what you are saying and the best way to do it is do an acredited TEFL course to teach English.You can do these courses anywhere in he world and currently i am looking at doing one in Vietnam.they cost about 1500-2000 U.S but you are guarenteed placement on sucessful completion.courses run for 4 weeks and can be quite intense but at the end you can work anywhere in the world and in asia there is a huge shortage of english teachers.
