Can I drink the milk in Thailand? Well I can not really tell I would stick to Soya mil for a while and try to eat milk imported from Australia or something because they have a good value and that milk is somewhat safe.
Even if the Thai producers have not been found to dangerous the milk yet the Chinese companies are always trying to dump the milk some where and one of the first countries is Thailand. The customs already taken tons of dried from china and god knows how much had come in already.
So if I were in yours shoes I would stick to the Soya milk for a while until the milk scandal passes and all the dangerous milk is finished.

My maid is leaving me she is going to go back farming. I do not think she want to do that because her life is very easy with me. But as usual in a Thai life the family wants you to do something and you have to follow.
There are plenty of maids in Thailand but not many good once and even less that speaks English. The different maid agencies do not guarantee that the maid wont steal from you just that you get a new one if the first run away.
Good maids in Thailand should be on the stock market because there value is greater then gold sometimes. They will give you a peace of mind that you house still is there when you come back from a holiday.
Please dear maid do not leave me and the dogs all alone!

Many people come to Thailand and use their bank card from overseas. Do not do that Thailand has an amazing point system for credit and debit cards.
My friend have an American Express card from Thailand and he have given one extra card to his friend. This friend is using the card when he is traveling and in the company. They have now got so many points that can get free first class tickets back and forward to the USA.
For me I can not get a credit card but even my debit with the bank UOB visa card have given me a big Samsung flat screen TV. I buy everything with my visa card from 7/11 to airline tickets and the points are just ticking in.
Check different cards for the best deals on points but I can vouch for UOB debit card is really working and it does not cost you anything.

We like to recommend the new Thailand Divorce forum that has opened. So many foreigners come to Thailand to get married with a Thai girl and end up unhappy with the marriage and the divorce.
The forum will try to help people with tips and recommendations how they can get out of their situation in the best way possible. It will also help with lawyers advice and translating advice.
If you have any questions regarding marriage or divorce in Thailand then I suggest you head over to the Thailand divorce forum and start asking righting now.
If you are a lawyer Thailand or aboard that and knows about this matters feel free to step in and help fellow foreigners with questions.
