Thai Girl FAQ is in production and will be released end of January 2010 if all goes as planned. Thai Girl FAQ is a collection of questions and answers in detailed format that explain at length some of the peculiarities of dealing with a Thai girl friend, a date, or your wife.

Thai girls come in all flavors and this FAQ dishes out the good and the bad, the train accidents and the angels.

If you’re coming to Thailand and have never seen Thai society before… never dated Thai girls before… THIS is a must have book.

Don’t come to Thailand without the Thai Girl FAQ or you’ll be played with like a $2 marionette.

Amazing Learn Thai Alphabet in 60 Minutes Tool
by, “Crafty Syntax” – updated in 2009. BEST SELLING version.

This simple, but amazing system of helping you learn the extremely difficult Thai language in just 60 minutes took two (2) years of Development and Application.

We’ve created a visual pneumonic memory system relying on simple images that helps you relate immediately to the crazy Thai alphabet.

In just minutes you will already know Thai letters and sounds – it’s very easy to learn this way.

Before this method there was nothing like it available… and since, our system has been ripped off repeatedly!
That’s how good it is…

Learning becomes instinctive as you figure out what the shapes of the Thai letters mean – and remember quickly. Without this aid – it takes weeks to learn the alphabet and sounds. It has taken everyone I know literally – weeks to learn without using this simple system.

This system takes into account…

You need to learn / remember 3 bits of information about Thai letters:

1. Initial sound
2. Final sound
3. Class

We want to call it “effortless” but, would probably receive flak for it. Let’s just say it’s the easiest method you will ever come across for learning the incredibly difficult Thai Alphabet -

and we’ll leave it at that.

Thai vowels are much different than the English vowels you’re used to.

This will sound strange, but, Thai vowels are EASIER and MORE Consistent.

While English has 5 vowels, Thai has 32!

The English language’s 5 official vowels have many different sounds depending on what they are surrounded by.

These gangs, or , diphthongs as they’re known change the sound. Look at “ai”, as in “air”, or “aisle”. When you start adding up all the different sounds that can be created by combinations of individual vowels in english, you end up with a lot of vowel sounds.

Thai Language separates these sounds out into distinct vowels. That’s all. See, already we’ve simplified it immensely!

Thai vowels are more consistent because they ALWAYS are pronounced the same way… or, they use a different vowel. If you ai, it’s ai – it’s not aisle like a long i sound.

So, the 32 vowels you have to learn really only have about 20 vowel sounds…. there are very slight variations on some that make learning the basic ones easy.

WHY SHOULD YOU LEARN the THAI ALPHABET?

Business Travelers, Tourists, or Long-term Expats should be interested in learning the Thai Alphabet. Without this knowledge you are basically – illiterate in Thailand.

If you know the Thai Alphabet you can decipher the double-pricing schemes and other “Warning Signs”. You can find shops that you need by knowing what you’re looking at as you stare dumbfounded at a sign full of scribble.

Note: this ebook is not available in many other formats because the pictures are crucial to helping you learn the Thai alphabet. Many ereader formats are pure text and don’t render pictures at all, or very poorly.

The full title of this book is, ‘25 Ways to Make Money in Thailand Without Teaching’ by Mike Fook. In reality, it’s more like 150 ways to make money because Mike offers multiple subjects he believes would do well for each way to make money.

What would you pay to be able to get out of teaching and continue to live in Thailand?

Teaching is the usual way foreigners coming to Thailand for a short or long-term stay. Many teachers try teaching in Thailand for a term, maybe a year, and decide – it’s definitely not for them.

What to do then?

Before you quit your teaching job read this book. In it author Mike Fook outlines 25 ways to make money in Thailand to support yourself. Most of the suggestions are for online projects – but, don’t let that scare you. Mike lays it out for you completely if it’s possible to do it in a chapter, or, refers you to exactly the right place to learn the skills you need to have to make enough money to get out of teaching.

So, what would you pay to know about a project you can start today and build up in a short time so you’re earning enough money to stop teaching?

$295?

I think most teachers – if they were seriously looking for an ‘out’ of teaching and a solution that would take care of them for a year or ten – would pay 9990 baht – about $300 USD.

But, you don’t have to. This ebook is just $19.95 and promise to send Mike your first $100 you make with one of the programs.

The Ultimate Guide to Teaching in Thailand by Mike Fook.

Mike Fook has reviewed all the available information about teaching English in Thailand and distilled it into this one – ULTIMATE guide. This new book (12/2009) is destined to become the absolute bible on Teaching English in Thailand.

The Ultimate Guide to Moving to Thailand, by Mike Fook

Moving to Thailand from your home country takes a lot of problem solving. Not just before you go, but after you arrive. In fact, it’s the details of the problem solving that usually destroy a plan to move to Thailand.

Covered in The Ultimate Guide to Moving To Thailand:

• Preplanning – before you leave your home country
• What to bring, and more importantly, what not to bring
• Staying connected to your money at home or bringing it?
• Cost of Living – How little can you realistically live on?
• Money Saving Secrets – from long-term expats
• Technology – keeping your identity, personal information, and money safe
• Finding a Thai Wife – do’s and don’ts and exactly where to look
• Thai Culture – when to wai and when you’re about to get a bottle to the back of your head
• Housing – inside scoop on owning a home, and how to set it up
• Visa – essentials and the dark side
• Escape Plan – the best laid plans can fail. When is it time to throw in the towel?

If you’ve already read Mike’s other guide, “Thai Black Book” you understand that Mike leaves out NOTHING. It’s all in there – and in my mind this ebook is worth $95. He is selling it for just $14.95! It’s a steal. There is more solid information in this book than there is across the next 12 sources for information on moving to Thailand.

How do I know this?

Those are the sources he used as a base for the book and added more than half the information on top of that.

Living in Thailand
What is it like to move from the west and live in Thailand?

One man’s account of moving from America to Thailand in 2004 and what he found when he arrived.

“Living in Thailand” has many photos and is now 104 pages long.

We’ve received excellent feedback on this ebook already. In 2006 it was released as a free ebook of 47 pages. After 34,000+ downloads the author has fleshed it out and added photos.

Every single response we’ve had about this ebook is that it’s an exceptional read and gives a good introduction to what it’s like living in Thailand for a western expat coming to live or vacation in the Land of Smiles.

Excerpts

The “f – it” attitude is important. As an American I think we have less of it than perhaps some other cultures.   In school we were made to be good. It was not a democracy in the classroom. We didn’t just get rowdy as an entire class if we all felt like it. And I find it hard to believe that we EVER got as loud as a classroom of Thai kids when they get going. Picture 45 kids mainlining liquid crack via Intravenous during the class right before yours.

In Isaan one time I had lunch with some top administrators from the department of education… the first thing the top guy ordered was some rice bugs for appetizer.  Oh, and some beer for everyone.  There is no stigma attached to those that order beer at lunch time here in Thailand. Even among teachers!  It’s normal.  It’s easy to get used to also…

From the “First Time for Everything List”, another 40 are listed in the book:

• 1st time I saw thin persons outnumber chubby, heavy, obese people.
• 1st time I saw pretty or acceptable girls outnumber ugly or undesirable girls.
• 1st time I ate bugs. (rice bugs, crickets, grasshoppers, ant larvae, hellgrammites, giant Chinese cockroaches, silkworm larvae, and scorpions (which landed me in the emergency room!)
• 1st time I ate such spicy food (yum woonsen) that I sweat profusely, felt violently ill, and recovered within an hour.
• 1st time I had diarrhea more than 10 days.
• 1st time I saw a fight where a guy was cut in the stomach with a broken bottle and then his head was kicked and bottles were bounced off his face after he was unconscious. He died. So, first time I saw a murder too.
• 1st time I threw water at people and had water thrown at me for 24 hours over a 3-day period. (Songkran)
• 1st time I had sex with 2 different girls within minutes of each other.
• 1st time I saw ladyboys that WERE prettier than girls.
• 1st time I spent less than 50 cents USD for breakfast and lunch and less than $1.00 USD for dinner.
• 1st time I slept on a tile floor; a concrete floor; a hard bed; a wooden couch.
• 1st time I had my crotch grabbed by anyone other than a woman.
• 1st time I’ve eaten black beetles, grasshoppers, crickets, silk worm larvae, queen red ant larvae, giant Chinese cockroach, and a huge Scorpion (which landed me in the hospital overnight).
