Marrying a Thai Wife: Overrated or Underrated?
renaissanc replied to SoCal1990's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
There's a lot to be said for marrying a woman who is a poor orphan working in a factory. I did that many years ago (in Thailand). She's so grateful every day. She's never been to school but she outshines me with all my degrees, works incredibly hard, and doesn't allow a Baht to be wasted. -
I don't think he's right. But there will be great death and destruction globally, but not yet. There are so many prophecies about the End Times that we are in. It's coming for sure. My recommendation is for everyone to plan to get out of the cities, grow their own food, store water, and keep as little money in cash as feasible. I started to do this 6 years ago. But it's your choice.

Why do people post comments of hate about other people? Hatred of Trump seems to continue to be the Flavour of the Month for many people on this Forum. Do you not know how much you are harming yourself physically?

Firstly, I wish you good health! Secondly, Thai doctors only know about pills and surgery. They haven't a clue about preventing and curing illness through different kinds of food. Stay away from processed food is a must. I rarely eat it.

Egyptian Tourist Arrested for Sexual Assault in Luxury Condo Lift
renaissanc replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
The solution is simple: make the punishment for (provable) physical sexual assault punishable with hard labour for (5) years. Problem solved! No man will dare to go near a woman ever again. -
Canna-bust: British student’s drug-filled dreams go up in smoke

He was so lucky to get sentenced in Austria. I take my hat off to his defense lawyer! You're very good at your job. -
Pattaya beach turns into unregulated booze and kratom market
renaissanc replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
Do I really need to go to Pattaya to tell the Police how to solve the problem? Just arrest them one by one, fine them 50,000 Baht, and confiscate their stalls. If they reoffend, jail! Problem solved! -
UK Pensioners in Thailand Face New Scrutiny Over Pension Fraud
renaissanc replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It is very unfair for British pensioners. But what will British pensioners who have a frozen pension do if there is a world war, which is quite possible this decade, because it would cause hyperinflation? 221 pounds x 52 weeks = 508,156 Baht. In hyperinflation, this will drop massively. They will have to use more and more of their savings each year to meet Immigration's requirement of 800,000 Baht. If they can't, they'll have to retire in the UK, which will be very tough. -
DEI is dead! Let's celebrate the demise of that woke nonsense
renaissanc replied to Red Phoenix's topic in Political Soapbox
Politicians (and DEI consultants) don't study history. Only the timeless values that are the bedrock of each mainstream religion survive. These timeless values are the same in every religion going back millennia. Organisations not based on them are doomed to fail at some point. DEI could never survive for long because of this. -
Koh Pha Ngan terror threat claims are really nothing, say police
renaissanc replied to webfact's topic in Koh Samui News
I understand your sentiment. I'd ban only the Palestinians as they are the people who want to create trouble. They will be anti-Israel long after we have turned to dust, I think. Maybe two or more generations of Palestinians will have to die off first before the hatred is gone. -
DSI Nabs Nigerian Crime Ring Leader in 50M Baht Horse Account Scam
renaissanc replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Oh dear, Christian! Do you know how awful Bang Kwang Prison is? It's called the "Big Tiger" for a reason. It "eats" criminals alive ... and spits them out after 20-100+ years, if they are lucky. -
Divorced while on Marriage extension
renaissanc replied to TPDH's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Since you can't change your visa to a Retirement Visa, then you will have to leave Thailand once you have got divorced. I think, within 7 days afterwards. Do any of the other visas appeal to you? -
British Man Tells Story of Life in Bangkok Prison in New Book
renaissanc replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Try to be kind to Johnathan Wheeler. Like we all do, he made a mistake. He's served his time. If he writes a book about his experience, that's fine. So many books are in fact about people's life experiences. Also, he needs some income, and if he can sell some books, I wish him success. In short, show some empathy, please.- 90 replies

Taxi tensions in Phuket: Drivers demand ride-hailing rights

The solution is simple. Let them be contacted by an app. The officials seem to be stuck in the 20th century. -
Running Out Of Money. Need Advice.
renaissanc replied to JimTripper's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Unfortunately, all I can suggest is that he returns to his country and tries to get a job in a fast-food outlet or does a voluntary job that comes with food and accommodation for a while. That's if he can fly back. I can't see him finding a solution in Thailand or Cambodia unless he gets involved in illegal activities and succeeds, which is unlikely. As for those who think that this couldn't possibly happen to them, you're wrong. WW3 is a real possibility and then your pension would be ravaged by hyperinflation and won't be enough for you to stay in Thailand. Then you'll have to return to your country, which might be at war. Or you get some serious medical condition that wipes you out financially. Prepare for the unexpected with humility and prayer. -

Inmate Murder at Bangkok Prison Sparks Security Concerns - video
renaissanc replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
Six people to kill one man ... maybe with their drugged-up minds they thought that the 20-year sentence would be divided into 6 per person so it would not be a problem for them.
