Thai University Uniforms Sexiest in the World

Living in Thailand or other Southeast Asian countries have a lot of benefits. I had three criteria for where I wanted to re-locate when I decided to live abroad. But none of my three criteria took into consideration the beauty of the people. Many Thai women are stunning and if you live around universities you are also graced with the beauty of the students. An online poll recently voted Thai university uniforms as the most sexy in the world. I agree! Every day I thank my creator for the beauty of the world and this includes the women of Thailand. Take a look and see if you agree.

Chiang Mai - Cost of Greens Fees - Golf

Maybe you have watched the boys of golf video but here in Thailand we have the girls of golf. Those pleasant ladies who caddie the Thai golf courses are always helpful and at ease even when I play my usual lame golf game. We have fun as they recommend a club and I put it back in the bag and go with a longer iron. After a few holes they know what club to recommend.
I get asked how much a round of golf is to play in Thailand so I set out to get an example of the course fees including a caddie (usually the caddie is mandatory).
We also have mobile phone applications like Golf Logix that have 127 courses mapped out using GPS to help as well. So let's get some prices, shall we?

Chiang Mai Costs of Tooth Fillings, Colonoscopy

As human beings we need to have certainty in our lives. One of the most important places in our lives that we need to feel certainty is with our health. If you don't have the financial resources to get your primary health needs met you will not have that feeling of certainty. Taking care of your teeth or getting a colonoscopy as we get older aren't options, they are necessities. How much do these cost in Thailand? Here are some examples.

Chiropractors in Thailand - Are they available?

The hardest things to find when living abroad are the items or services that the indigenous people don't use. And when you find them they are usually more expensive because of the perception that the foreigner has more money that the locals. This applies to things that I would consider items or services that we spend disposable income on.

One of these is chiropractic services. For me finding a good chiropractor has been difficult in Thailand. I know that there are probably many but I can't find them. Hopefully viewers will go put them on the site http://mapsnmore.com so we can all find them and support their services. The one I have gone to for about 8 years is in Pattaya. This is what I have to say about the chiropractic in Thailand.

Seth Godin -- Marketing techniques in Thailand

Which works better to have a successful business, do more and charge higher prices or, give more value than your competitor? Why? In Thailand there is a different mentality when it comes to marketing. In Pattaya for example, when low season comes the prices go up. Sometimes even bar fines (cost of taking a girl home with you) and beer prices rise. Seth Godin has a formula for success that Thailand could really use. What is it? Watch and see.

Racing is a Fun and Exciting Thing to Do in Thailand - Pattaya

Want something fun and exciting to do while living in Thailand? Because of the liability factor, back home we can't do anything that might hurt us because the business owners are afraid of the chance of getting sued for liability. But where people are supposed to take responsibility for their actions, you can do things that you can't do back home. Here's one of many examples.

Thai Culture - Even Thai Girls Eat Bugs

What are you willing to eat? Up for something REALLY different? The Thais up in the mountains are still hunter gatherers and this cuisine filters on down into the cities. They eat lizards, worms, larvae and, yep, even roaches! You'd be amazed once you fry up something, just how delicious it can be, yeah right!

Pattaya - Looking for a Condo, house or Apt. Rental or Purchase Bargain?

It is difficult not to be overcharged when looking for something to buy or rent. Especially if going through conventional means. There are some great businesses set up to help people "digging in" to find what they need. But just like any service, they need to get paid. If you can dig up things yourself you can sometimes save a bundle. Especially now, with the economy the way it is, many people are getting rid of assets and liabilities.

There are deals coming up and with some cash you can capitalize on these bargains. One way to do this is to find local bulletin boards. Seller to buyer or owner to renter deals can be found on these and are very popular places to post things fro sale or rent. Here is one such place and some examples.

Pattaya - Where Can You Find Some of Your Comfort Foods?

Let's face it. We all have certain things that make us feel... well, comfortable. Living abroad in someplace like Southeast Asia could mean giving some of these up. Depending on what country and city you choose to live in means the difference between having your familiar jams, cereals, candies or not. The food choices in Thailand and most larger cities is very extensive. Most of your comfort foods and semi-gourmet foods can be found but they are a little more expensive because they have to be imported. Here is an example. This is a store in Jomtien. They have a nice variety of foods from back home as well as a good wine selection. Take a look at what they have in stock.
Please if can link back to my website I'd appreciate it.
