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.

I thought kad had closed..? I've not been back to Chiang Mai for a while.

Chiang Mai + Mae Hong Son till just before the burning season...postively chilly over December/January. There is euro forestry at the cloud line in the surrounding mountains.

Is he in jail ?

Mucuna pruriens will get your MIND in a much younger state for sex along with blue pills. It sends dopamine production through the roof...however, if you have any psychiatric conditions (Cluster A mind conditions...schizotypes) then its probably best to totally avoid it. Thais know this herb, its called Mah Moo Eee at herbalists..never to be taken daily and best just day before or on the day..causes short-temper also...rocket fuel..watch out..must cycle it on/off.

Teflon Tony.

They are probably on yaba is why they meltdown.

Insane on 2 counts, what he did, and where he is about to go..a Thai hellpit jail for a longtime.

Is CM immigration still queued out every day of the week these days ? I remember Big Joke slapped it into shape years back but wonder if it slipped back in standards All done on purpose before...slow..so you will use agents I believe...while the rest suffer who won't pay agents..it was gruelling so it was.

You probably lost the slobbering dog look long ago after you rang the bell in the gogo bar and thought you were the bee's knees... I still slobber.

Good choice, it will protect your brain as you age. High dose CBD 5000-6000mg dropper tincture is like a glass of wine buzz if you crave something similar... People say they get almost no buzz from CBD but lot of tincture is just 350mg etc bottles..Bottle size is a consideration also as that mg is fixed but 10ml or 30ml bottles are different percentaege strength. Access CBD in UK have strong stuff...3 for 2 offers on their mialing list. It helped me transition off booze.

"Blow it out your ass"

Be good if they just moved 1900 bath extensions to online portal method. Simple. Can do that in Sri Lanka I believe. It should come soon as numbers swell in the future beyond breaking pount at offices.

They will all be repealed by Bad Guy In, Good Guys Out = (soon to be) PM Teflon Tony Thaksin. Flip and a flop and a flop and flip and a flip and a flop... Thai water torture for foreigners.
