Thailand is a nice for new couples to spend honeymoon,but,there are something both of us need to pay attention to,and here are some tips :

From:http://bikini-online-show.com/ Travel Thailand

Be weary of people, both foreign and Thai, with elaborate hard luck stories or offers of incredible business deals. Always keep important valuables locked away in your hotel safe.

Do not carry a lot of cash on you and always keep your money and wallet in a hard to reach place. There are many pick pockets operating in Pattaya and be extra careful of groups of ladies when on a baht bus and also of the lady boys who approach you. If a lady boy comes up to you or brushes against you then the first thing you should do is check your pockets and make sure nothing is missing.

Be careful picking up freelancers especially at the late night discos as some of these girls have been known to drug a foreigner once back at his hotel and then leave with all his valuables and money.

You may want to carry around a copy of your passport, but not the original, with you.

Do not drink the tap water and avoid ice (tap water) been added to your drink in the bars.

Join the forum and try to hook up with other fellow travellers to show you the ropes and also good to have a wing man to shoot the breeze while on the 'hunt' for a date.

You will find that Thailand is a very tolerant country with many happy positive people who will treat you with respect and you will have a great holiday, there are still some important rules which as a visitor to a foreign land you will need to follow. Failure to do so and your dream holiday could turn into a nightmare.

Do NOT take drugs and even more important DO NOT sell drugs. If caught selling drugs you could be sentenced to death though most foreigners get 25 to 50 years jail sentences in terrible third world prisons with no possibility of parole. That is you will serve the full term of your sentence in squalid conditions even if it's your first offense.

DO NOT make any negative comments about the Thai Royal family. The Thai king is very much loved and respected and any negative comments would result in jail time or worse beaten up by a mob.

Do NOT make negative comments about Buddha, Thai culture or traditions.

DO NOT get in an argument or fight with anyone in Thailand, especially if it a Thai man. Most Thai men are generally built smaller than us foreigners but if you get in a fight with one then irrespective of who is at fault, all Thai men within eye shot will join in and side with the Thai man and you end up trying to fight off a mob who have no problem using sticks, knifes, helmets, iron bars or anything they can lay their hands on at that moment to inflict great harm to yourself. If a Thai man creates a problem, swallow your pride, smile and walk away because if things boil over then it will never be fair fight.

Do NOT get involved in arguments or fights involving other people even if they are foreigners involved. This is true but the sad case in Pattaya that trying to help others in can result in the same people you were trying to help turning on you and you end up the victim of an assault or accused of starting the fight!

The Age of Consent in Thailand is 18. Failure to comply with this will result in severe prison sentences when caught and your face and name will be broadcast on national news channels and newspaper both in Thailand and abroad.

Do NOT overstay your visa. Failure to do so may result in jail time if you are stopped for whatever reason and found to be on an expired visa.

DO NOT Gamble. Gambling, including online gambling, is illegal in Thailand and if caught can result in hefty fines.

Take great care when renting a motorbike in Thailand. Many tourists get killed on the roads in Thailand while driving a motorbike. UK figures alone show that at least 1 British tourist is killed every other day in Thailand due to a motorbike accident. If you do decide to ride a motorbike in Thailand then always wear a helmet as required by Thai law.

The Best Method to Prevent Bankrupting Your Home Staging Business - Stop Giving "Free Estimates"! by Bob

2010-08-19T20:21:00.000-07:00

After I raise many realty agents nowadays regarding the state of the market and its result on their income, I usually get an earful concerning tiny, intermittent commission checks and complaints of record breaking gas prices cutting into already bleak profits. Things aren't nice for many in the front lines selling land right now.
But, if you're a home stager, probabilities are you are building your land staging business with the help of the market's downward spiral. In a buyer's land market, the folks prepared to make offers are pickier than ever. Householders are needing to sell. They're scrambling to find a grip that does not mean dropping their asking value, and that is great news for home stagers.
Additional owners than ever before are turning to home staging professionals for advice on the way to best embellish their homes to face out before they list with a true estate agent. If you're one among the lucky stagers enjoying an increase in inquiries as a result of of the market's decline, you have got to stay the fine line between 'free estimate' and 'free recommendation' good and clear. Otherwise, you'll burn out and bankrupt your business faster than you think.
If you're a home stager, you know what you'll be able to expect after you walk into a house to satisfy with a home seller to provide a home staging estimate. Not long once being greeted at the door, you're peppered with queries like; 'Do you think I ought to repaint the bathroom?', 'What do you think of the rug in the living room?', 'Should I leave the high chair within the dining area for showings?', 'Do you're thinking that the kitty litter within the washroom can flip off consumers' Of course these are legitimate queries for a home seller to consider. But after they're asked of a professional home stager, the important goal is to get free home staging advice.
As a result of you'll increase the perceived value of a home from $ten,000 to $seventy,000 by staging it properly, you deserve to be paid (and paid well) for your expertise and advice. Unfortunately, if you are new to the business of home staging, you would possibly be tempted to visit sellers to produce a free estimate of what it will price for you to stage their home. If you continue down this road, you ought to apprehend it virtually always leads to burnout and bankruptcy.
If you concentrate on yourself a professional stager, I hope you're not out there wasting your time (not to say gas) visiting potential clients to administer away free advice. Any serious home seller seeking professional home staging advice will be happy to acquire your services - they recognize your work will end in a fast sale for top dollar.
It's rarely necessary to go to a home to supply a rough estimate of what it can cost to stage it, especially if it's already furnished. If you have any expertise at all, you will be ready to inform from one phonephone interview, approximately how long it can take and roughly what staging can cost the seller. But, you have got to be assured enough to elucidate everything completely to someone who has probably never employed a real estate stager before. They have to understand the services you provide and how it can benefit them.
Thus how does one stop walking right into the free estimate entice and begin taking the reins right from the get-go? You arm yourself with the information you need to enable home sellers to perceive your services and notice how abundant they have you. I've recently created a tool referred to as the 'Staging Diva? Sales Script: How to Avoid the Free Estimate Lure and Turn Owners Into Home Staging Customers in One Phone Conversation.' It's my script of what I enlighten a prospective client to turn them into a buyer. I've been using it for 5 years to build my staging company Six Components Inc. This resource teaches home stagers what to mention when the caller asks, 'I';m thinking of getting my home staged, what does it price?', thus they no longer need to fall into that 'free estimate entice'; in the hopes of winning business.
With the opportunities opening up for you as a home stager in today's slow land market, it's definitely not the time to provide your services away for free. Educate yourself and fancy the profits watching for you as you facilitate desperate owners sell faster and for more money. Their real estate agents can appreciate it to since you create their selling job so much easier!
