hello po sa lahat ng pinoy sa Thailand. isang buwan nako sa bangkok pero ala pa akong nakikilalang pinoy. nde rin ako lumalabas kasi ang hirap makipag-usap dito tsaka mag-isa ko lang. mbk pa lang napuntahan ko. nkita ko lang tong site na ito kagabi kaya join agad ako. may mga tanong lang po ako baka makatulong kayo.

1. asa hotel ako ngayon (company paid) at lilipat nako ng apartment (ako na magbabayad) sa ramindra road, Khanna Yao sa linggo malapit sa Fashion island mall, may mga pinoy ba sa area nato?
2. Just got my first paycheck, pano po magremit sa Pinas tsaka ano po yung pinaka-ok na remittance center?
3. May mga photography org ba dito? gusto sana sumali kung meron. invite nyo naman ako. newbie ako sa photography and gusto ko magexplore. maganda kasi mag-nature trip dito (daw).
4. ano po pinakamurang paraan para tumawag sa pinas. DTAC gamit ko ngayon. 22baht/min, medyo mahal.
5. sa mga mahilig sa sports, invite nyo din naman ako...basketball or badminton o kahit anong activity na pedeng pagpawisan..

may pic po ako dito, baka may nakakakilala sakin.....hope to meet pinoy's soon!

1) medyo malay0 nga yang place mo gaya ko sa downtown, pero accessible. oo marami din pinoy sa area mo.
2) western union speed and ok for first time remittances. pero later magopen ka ng bank account (aside from ur personal account) either Bangkok Bank, Siam Commercial Bank or Ayutthaya Bank, kumuha ka ng atm (pwede 2) then ipadala mo sa pinas ung atm, pwede na sila magwithdraw doon, ung sa akin Bangkok Bank, 5thousand pesos per withdraw, then 100 baht charge sa iyo. ung rate depende sa exchange... like kahapon 1.21 so ung 8400baht halimbawa pwede iwithdraw doon ng 10thou. sa western union naman depende sa rate nila plus charge na 475, usually meron sa malls sila office.
3) photography club... mismo!!! merong thread jan para sa photographers...
4) tawag sa pinas? may ginagamit silang dee dial... di ko alam kasi dtac din gamit ko Smiley
5) sports?Huh? syempre mawawala ba naman yan sa pinoy... may liga ata jan check mo thread kwentong basketball.

2. Just got my first paycheck, pano po magremit sa Pinas tsaka ano po yung pinaka-ok na remittance center?

for me personally i use western union to send money. it is quick and anywhere here in bkk and in pinas.
one disadvantage is varying range of exchange rate ranging from 1.25 to 1.35 more or less depending on world events. at tsaka merong processing fee.
yesterday i got exch rate of about 1.3000099  Smiley

another way to remit is you open a savings account here in a major bangkok bank, get an ATM card with (+) PLUS sign to allow withdrawing internationally, send the ATM card to your love ones in pinas so they can withdraw over there in pinas from your savings accoun here in bkk.

good luck

4. ano po pinakamurang paraan para tumawag sa pinas. DTAC gamit ko ngayon. 22baht/min, medyo mahal.

for me i use Dee Dial, mga 250bhat for 35 minutes, mga 6 or 7 bhat/min  more or less.

Smiley

you can buy dee dial card from many cellphones shops here in bkk.

nga pala, I got my work permit here and I'm planning to take vacation in Philippines sa April (sa Songkran Festival).
Ano kelangan ko i-apply sa pinas para makabalik ako dito, saan, at mga gano katagal i-apply?
Ano rin ang pinkamurang airlines? 1 month ago I checked Cebu pacific nasa 2k baht lang pero when I checked kanina nasa 6K baht na! PAL and Thai airways mahal. Tiger airways Singapore at Macau lang ang flight nila from Bangkok.

@glitters, be sure to get from any POEA office sa Philippines ng OVERSEAS EMPLOYMENT CERTIFICATE (Exit Pass for Filipino Workers going to the Philippines on Vacation).

the OEC will be required of you by the phil. immigration.. kung wala ka nyan di ka makabalik dito sa pinas.

just in case, bring your work permit and employment contract and a salary slip when going home to philippines.

for more information go to this website;  http://www.poea.gov.ph/

good luck.

Kung mayroon kang computer and mayroon kang access sa Internet, mag-Skype ka nalang. Free kapag computer to computer ang tawag mo. Parang Yahoo telephone conversation.... Puede ding computer to landline or mobile phone - pero may bayad (mura naman)... kaya lang kailangan mong bumili ng credit (10 Euros yata).
