If you are in not good state and have got no money to move out from that point, you will have to receive the mortgage loans. Because it should help you definitely. I get car loan every single year and feel fine just because of this.

Thanks for the tip, they sound pretty cool. I'll head to the bookstore to see if I can find one. And the 'Museum of Buses That are Still in Use' sounds good too. :P

I think you’d like the books of Thai historian Anake Nawigamune (เอนก นาวิกมูล). Copiously illustrated, they’re generally more photographs than text, on topics ranging from everything from old Thai advertisements to compilations of old photographs. His only work in English is A Century of Thai Graphic Design. I’ve often thought I’d like to translate some of his stuff. Mostly captions, really.

The guy is a meticulous documenter and hoarder of old things — he runs a museum that’s a couple km from my house (http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=109458602949096656767.0004618f294d19fc00062“ rel=”nofollow”>map ), called บ้านพิพิธภัณฑ์ Ban Pipittapan “House of Museums.” It’s a house converted into a museum, displaying Thai life as it was 50 years ago (you know, back when they were producing the buses we all ride on today :P). It’s really a trip to visit. Everything is hands on, and photography is strongly encouraged. Open on the weekends.

have you seen the latest exhibition at the Art & Culture Centre across from MBK?

it shows Bangkok from past to future.

there's this one picture of the Victory Monument--used to be like a plain field, look at it now!
