The Uniting American Families Act would allow gay and lesbian Americans and permanent residents to sponsor their foreign-born partners for legal residency in the United States.Silver City Sun-News - Mar 20 8:38 PM Good News for Binational Same-Sex Couples Earlier this week, The Washington Post came out in support of the Uniting American Families Act, a piece of legislation that would “right a gross unfairness” in the Post ’s eyes by “[allowing] gay and lesbian Americans and permanent residents to sponsor their foreign-born partners for legal residency in the United States.” Sounds good to me! But, we have to pass the bill. If you are interested in helpin…

Hey I use to have the details of a Flower delivery shop in Pattaya, that I can ring or email to send a reef to a bunch or Flowers. But got a Virus and my Computer is wiped clean. Does any one know of a Company, who I can email or phone, to order Flowers to be sent to some one in Pattaya?

The Pattaya Players (home of Pattaya's Professional Amateurs) are proud to announce their Spring production entitled, "The Odd Couple" (female version) on April 3-5, 2009. This full-length play written by Neil Simon and directed by Adam Kuhl features a cast of eight talented thespians. The script was born out of the male-version "The Odd Couple," original Broadway play, Hollywood movie and subsequent TV series that featured Oscar Madison and Felix Unger. These two characters quickly became an unforgettable part of American culture. However, Neil Simon's more current, gender-switching rewrite outshines the original male version in many ways. First of all, the charact…

I've sent two birthday cards to relatives to the USA from Thailand in the last 6 weeks and using the regular (cheap) airmail has resulted in delivery times of 18 and 20 days for the two of them. In prior years, I've only done a couple of mailings and it seemed that it only took 10-12 days back then. This typical delivery time now - 18 to 20 days from Thailand to the USA? Just wondering if anybody else has similar experiences. P.S. Once the card hits the US shores, I'm fairly certain that it only takes 3 days at most to go from the west coast to Michigan (my home state) so I'm rather puzzled as why it takes 2 weeks+ to get from Thailand to the US. They sti…

I heard Googies restaurant/cafe in the day night area has now changed hands and name to Mushroom. This is the cafe which is in the day night area opposite the hotel,and started off as Papa Davids restaurant,which was then a one shophouse before being sold and changed to Googies around 2006. Googies then renovated and converted the internet cafe shop next door doubling the size. I quite enjoyed eating at Googies during my trips to Pattaya. I found the food quite good especially the breakfasts,the place was clean and open air. Every time I had been there,the place seemed busy. Im not sure of the exact reason it has changed hands,except i had heard the Lan…

Baht Likely to Weaken Further in Near Future: KRC BANGKOK, Mar 4 (TNA) – The baht is likely to weaken to around 37 to the US dollar in parallel with most currencies in the region, according to Kasikorn Research Center. The leading think tank said the baht had depreciated to a 2-year low of around 36.30 to the dollar this week in response to news reports that the Bank of Thailand (BoT) had intervened to stabilize the baht's value. The BoT’s move was made in harmony with those of other Asian central banks, which had attempted to rein in the volatility after many currencies in the region weakened to their lowest point in many years. In the near futu…

I received my Visa last week which allows me to stay in Thailand for 60 Days before having to renew it. My question is how long does it take to set up a company with a work permit included, or if I buy a company with a work permit included does that transfer to me? Thanks Kevin

Hello folks, I will be making my first trip trip to Pattaya the first week in May. Staying at Ambiance and looking forward to 10 days of sun and relaxation. On the subject of fees though, could you guys help me understand, how much is is typically to "off" a boy? How much is the typical charge for a boy for a short or a long duration? How are short and long normally defined? If the boy agrees to stay a few nights do you pay the "Off" fee each night or just for the first night? Thanks in advance for any insight.......
