As the story was told to me a gift is never refused from a King. Would the King have been<br /> offended by such a refusal? </p> http://thailand-usa.com/community/topic.php?id=44#post-229 Thu, 11 Feb 2010 14:18:20 +0000 johnee 229@http://thailand-usa.com/community/ <p>Psoriasis is a disease whose main symptom is gray or silvery flaky patches on the skin which are red and inflamed underneath. In the United States, it affects 2 to 2.6 percent of the population, or between 5.8 and 7.5 million people. Commonly affected areas include the scalp, elbows, knees, arms, stomach and back. Psoriasis is autoimmune in origin, and is not contagious. Around a quarter of people with psoriasis also suffer from psoriatic arthritis, which is similar to rheumatoid arthritis in its effects. Psoriasis was first given that name in complete differentiation from other skin conditions by the Austrian dermatologist Ferdinand von Habra in 1841, although there are what are believed to be descriptions of the disease in sources going back to ancient Roman and possibly even biblical times.</p> <p><a href="http://www.superherbalcare.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.superherbalcare.com</a> </p> http://thailand-usa.com/community/topic.php?id=43#post-228 Tue, 02 Feb 2010 15:47:58 +0000 cheunbuic 228@http://thailand-usa.com/community/ <p>Pharmaceutical Association Office: Phaholyothin Place Building (BTS-Aree) urgently needs someone who can:</p> <p>- Monitoring news from newspapers (Both English and Thai)<br /> - Able to translate Thai to English<br /> - Able to summarize proficiently in English<br /> - Half day working (8am.-noon)from Monday-Friday</p> <p>Interested applicants who meet the criteria, should ontact Nutjira:<br /> 081-382-2055</p> <p>bilingual University students in their third-fourth year who can free their morning schedules are encouraged to inquire. </p> http://thailand-usa.com/community/topic.php?id=6#post-13 Sat, 03 May 2008 16:03:06 +0000 siamerican 13@http://thailand-usa.com/community/ <p>I'm planning to do another trip from Bangkok to Phuket and back towards the end of this month, May if not the beginning of next month, June, 2008. <a href="http://www.siamerican.com/pictures-and-images-of-bangkok-phuket-motorcycle-adventure-in-march-2008/">Last time I went in March</a>, I went alone, but wouldn't mind company to drive along with me this time. It's quite a scenic trip and can comfortably be done in two days, or even three or more with lots of sightseeing thrown in. I'm planning to bring along a tent this time to set up camp along the beach somewhere, perhaps in Chumporn or Prachuap.

In it you were talking about the 6 year struggle becoming registered as a Thai national. My son, whose mother is Thai, wants to get a Thai passport and he is just getting started on this road. </p> <p> He lives in the U.S. and his first step is getting a Thai birth certificate. Then they said he has to apply for a temporary Thai passport that is good for one year. Once in Thailand he has to add his name to the house registration to obtain the Thai ID. After going through this process he can apply for a Thai passport. </p> <p>It seems to me that this is unrealistic if it took you six years to get the house registration and thus a Thai ID. In addition, he thinks that since he is 30 the Thai conscription laws don't apply to him. What do you think?</p> <p> M.
