I seem to remember that during the Vietnam War, Soth Korean and Thai soldiers were very tough fighters?

Being a student of American History, a predominantly Christian nation with a high number of gun deaths … I cannot comment on tying religious teachings versus not living in accord with the teachings.

.?? Thus, acknowledging the need for a mobile phone these days. I too use technology getting long in the tooth and my car is 22 years old. Difficult and more costly having neither. I think we can agree on this.

I’m thinking this would be an additional draw for Chinese tourism …

Whatever we jointly spend as a family of three … same as I experienced in past relationships … you?

Good for you. My forebears came in the 1600s. Farmers, shipyard owners, refugees from religious persecution. I retired after 41 years of teaching as an Emeritus Professor of history of History in a poor state in the USA. Retired along with millions of of working middle class Americans in a lower cost country.

Expect an uphill walk. Young? Pretty? Single? Without solid ties demanding that she return to Thailand? Slim to no chance. Unfortunately far too many such over stay if granted access. Oh, it is possible but not easy to convince the immigration representative that she will return to Thailand.

Probably true as in authoritarian countries, you conform or else … None of this mamby Pamby stuff. Thanks, I’ll pass … If I wanted to live under such regimes I would seek life in Russia, China, N. Korea or several other nations that come to mind.

Love it! My girl is 26 younger than me (kind of a Michael Douglas -Katherine Zeta Jones thingy). Yes, all depends … we did not meet until past our primes.

Good to know that equal education is available to all, no matter which state or community they reside in … I seemed to miss that during my career as an educator. Oh, I am fine, not being able to live in my own country on my earned retirement. I compensated by retiring to a lower cost country.

Thought I would read about this for the humor I expected to see in the comments … you do not disappoint.

I put the bid in at worse … due to the air pollution here in Chiang Mai. Riding on the motorbike feels like driving into the mouth of a blast furnace. Last time, when I arrived home actually felt weak and a bit dizzy. The Weather Channel said it felt like 44C that day = so over 110F! Yikes!

Ha! Yes, I have had those. At the end, I am asked if I feel better … to myself I think, yes … after you stopped. I am, however, a foot massage addict.

I can only identify as a retired working middle class American. The working middle class gets stuck again. I have been most sorry when I learned that your state pensions were frozen if living outside the UK. First the system does not allow for a reasonable working middle class retirement in our own countries and then there is a withholding of earned benefits when we move to a lower cost country. You guys get hit with the pension freeze, we Yanks cannot use Medicare (even though costs are much lower outside the USA).

I can only wish and even at that I certainly would not bet those have worn suc will still not vote for Trump, come hell or high water.

And correctly make a valid judgement that the overwhelming chances are anyone wearing such is indeed a sad human being. Your sarcasm is lost …

Sounds like the post was written under the direction of Pecker. His testimony has been quite revealing.

Heard the report this morning. Basically entering during heaviest business hours and it ifs a $5.00 USA equivalent daily entrance fee. Ringing in my ear, “be careful what you wish for …”.

That also was my experience years ago in US Doctor’s office.

We did a trip to the USA last year for one month. While being American, I no longer hold a U.S. state driver license. The care rental company presented no issue. Had a minor accident (not at fault). The police officer taking down the report had no issues when I presented my Thai Driver’s License.

That was my first thought. I think you may have nailed the problem since there is no leak.

Correct decision. Last year at this time we were in the USA, the year before in Koh Samui. This year, down payment on house took any chance of fleeing. Only consolation is the new house has 4 air conditioners filtering the 2.5 particles.

I am thinking this was someone’s ham hocked response at the portrayed photos of Trump behind bars or in prison attire. The subtle difference is lost on those without critical thinking … or just the ability to think …

Trump wins only if his cre turns out … and the vast majority of American voters do not vote. I they majority votes he … again … will be defeated.

Sorry for your having been, “put through the wringer”. Thailand is looking crack down currently of those out of the norm foreigner requests. Don’t take it personally, you just got caught up in the closer than usual investigation of valid requests. I am very sorry to hear of your loss, and have no doubt that the IO was also sympathetic.
