  1. Apart from a strong Chinese Thai community and many Thais being part Chinese, Thais celebrate just about everything. Any excuse for a party, spending money getting gifts. You could ask why do they celebrate Christmas.
  2. Sounds like very good spec, I would aim for a expat who will appreciate these specs, a Thai is unlkely to.
  3. Once you have worked out a price, list it on the Thai property for sale groups on Facebook, also consider running an advert on Facebook and Instagram, you can spend around $2 a day and reach a vast audience. You would need to run the ad for about 3 weeks to get the best results from FB. This way you may reach also a expat audience.
  4. You say your wife wants everything else and you take the kid, I suggest you do not sign or give anything over until you have the kids thai passport, birth cert, and anyother papers the mum/wife needs to sign so you can take your daughter out of Thailand, it is a game of chess and you need to be smart in your moves. Wishing you all the best
  5. Leaving on the USA passport may create a problem at immigration as the computer system will not have a record of the USA passport coming into Thailand. This happen to me in Australia when our son was born there and we left on a UK passport obtained in Australia when he was born. The system did not have a record of the passport coming into the country, luckly immigration understood but told us not to use the passport coming back into Australia. This was 28 years ago, things change but you do not want any problems at all so get her Thai passport. Be civil with the wife, no fighting until after you get back to the USA.
  6. 5 years, if you read the news, she was unknown until DNA test in 2019.
  7. That is true about the number of strawberry pickers in NY, what will hit the USA consumer is the people not turning up for work on the farms, this will push up the price of food which you pay for, so will you be happy? I agree that immigration needs to be sorted, illegals sorted as well. A more structured way would be better, maybe guarantee work for the farms, get them documented? Already it is having and affect. Fear of deportation has led to a sharp drop in farm worker attendance across California's agricultural heartland, leaving crops unharvested following U.S. President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown, local news outlets have reported. The immediate impact is evident in Kern County, one of the nation's most productive agricultural regions. Over the last two weeks, growers have seen sharp declines in their workforce attendance, which they attribute to heightened immigration crackdowns. Citrus grower and former Kern County Farm Bureau president, Peter Belluomini, reported that his usual harvest crew dropped from 30 workers to just five, saying many were "hiding at home" out of fear.
  8. And which country will do that? I see Mexico just refused a plane load.
  9. How do they know which country they originally come from? Are all these countrys allowing the USA to land and drop off people? Interested in how it will work.
  10. google for info< I do have Paragon and use it for back up but had no need to install from it. Try this In general, a system imaging utility such as Paragon will include a facility for making & booting from a USB and it is that USB that controls image restoration. Your user manual ought to explain this Paragon Hard Disk Manager - Resources page If I was only just starting to use system imaging, I'd choose Macrium Reflect [free version]. So many forum members use it that you'll always be able to get advice about it.
  11. Golden age of grifter trump lining his pockets, started hours before he was signed in with his crypto coin.
  12. There are many storys on Youtube about life in a Thai jail from people who have been locked up for many years, what he experinced was mild to can happen. He overstayed and paid the price and now he complains, it is a good deterant to not break the law
  13. and they are going to deport him, no prison time? Not much of a deterrent
  14. Suggest go with a SSD hard drive as they are better for storage, speed, higher durability, and lower power consumption. Also go for 32GB ram, has a smoother running and can run more applications at the same time, better for straming movies as well
  15. As a first time user, you get a one off better exchange rate that applys upto £1,000 in a transaction, any amount over that goes on their standard exchange rate on the day. Also becareful as my thai bank made a charge on the transaction unlike when I send via Wise they dont. I think this may be becaause Wise sends in baht to the bank.
  16. I just seen that, so Wise is a better rate, thanks for the input
  17. Remitly have you used them for money transfer? Looking at using them for the first time, was surprised with the differance in sending £1,000 via Wise today there was an 800 baht differance in favour of sending via Remotly
  18. what is a good website to stream movies from? The one I have been using for years has now got so much buffering
  19. You have only realised this in Thailand?
  20. "Initially, police attempted to escort the man back to his room." Half naked and with a knife, is this not enough to warrent being held in jail to see if he is more of a threat?
  21. Most likely the ghosts of the trees that were chopped down to make the pages in the books you like. LOL
  22. Maybe look at buying a condo outside of Pattaya, also look for Bank repossession condos, can buy cheaper but it is a journey in itself. 20,000 bhat a month is not much money and if you drink then it will not last. Maybe look at a non tourist city to live in.
