please do tell...

Sooooooooo ironic - the posterboy for weeding out the currupt/illegal activities of foreigners before...

cancer risk from saccharine ?

It is quite cheap at public hospitals - but I think you have to be presenting as scratched and concerned to get it at local cost rate fast. I just explained I had concerns going to neighbouring countries as best I could convey in simple English.

Scratches can be enough in neighbouring countries from kittens etc doing a visa-run. I got 3 vaccines finally 2022 at a public hospital.

You'd think the airport could have clarified he left Thailand same-day the news broke.

Meth psychosis no doubt.

I remember my coffee shop/hotel owner said immi. were trying to catch a westerner making porn films in hotels. Guess they were tracking him by TM30 and had Id him by face or name associated with Thai porn. Sure he would have been snared. Yes, the duality of Thailand culture is fun/perplexing at times..so in-your-face with chicks enticing guys to sex for sale gogos - but porn made behind closed doors is a taboo no-no.

Such a can of spaghetti this and it WILL be annuled on 2 counts -enforcement costs and expat flight. It is after all the Land of NEW POLICY U-TURNS. Thailand gets all those long-term juice satangs by the foreigner residing here vs elsewhere. That should be enough of a direct fiscal injection to the place. Also crypto tax haven would be cool. Malaysia is maybe like this as it is. You should all write to the PM on the cash flight aspect....

Man, they have radically changed the Zoomer X design from the photo.

That's me. Any uni chick reasonably hot and I'm on her leg quicker than you can say 'Here boy !"

Those Pattaya cops seem really on the ball catching this stuff in that area..when will foreigners there learn ?

Yes, for sure. Like being a sardine in a tin in a 7-11 fridge in those vans.

Yes, these days don't burn your bridges to a life back home with endless rule changes coupled with future rising costs. Do neighbouring Asian countries tamper with the rule sets for visas as much ? I doubt it.

They would if first foot in the country illegaly triggers the loss of right to apply for asylum and then deportation. So simple - yet the governments (both parties ) have flapped in circles

No limit on 2 overland runs per year anymore with these changes ?

Yes, it's had its past its Golden Days Thailand I think. Am looking further afield for long-stay in future... This lot on AN are last of a generation that moved here for good reasons back then.

Done to death 2/3x a year. Try search function.

Did OP mention age-gap...? Will be 20 years I'd guess.

Of course, I was just contrasting Asian looks. Who wants a dog if they can get a decent character in a hot body instead ? Men are after looks primarily and character/skills second..it's mostly true...perhaps 50/50 even younger and that shifts a bit more to the fore on character as guys age. Women are after resources/connection/looks in that order as they age.

I have to say that look did grown on me. I came from dating oriental girls (lighter skin/sharper eyes) so there was an adjustment but prefer above more now. I think the half-Thai kids look far better than half-Korean/Japanese/Chinese. Yaya being an example...best of the mix.

Honestly at times this forum takes the biscuit for snarky smeary comments...trolling and emoticons that have no bearing on the post. Any guy posts a reasonably nice lifestyle scenario and usual suspects have to wade in and frame it some crappy way. It's like a graveyard of the bitter at times, not so much give a guy a hand-up but stand on his face.

18-year age gap and she paid Dutch from Day 1..sorry to erode your paradigm. Am under retirement age, so that is a factor.

....and some may like being with their women on purpose as half the foreigners met in Thailand are oddballs/unstable wildcards.

Yes, on both counts. Mostly went dutch. Masters grad, smart as hell academically.
