    I think its Thai women in general, thats why there are so many of us married to them.

    I believe they meet the criteria and attitude of what we believe a "wife" should be, and totally the opposite to what many (most?) of us encountered and left behind in the West. ????

    This ^^^ Charlie really nailed it.

    Some of course not all but some if your lucky & are married to one will make you happy ever after

    They work hard, respect you always even when you don't deserve it & always are there to help or take care of the one they love

    They really are as unconditional as I have ever known

    In short is it worth the effort?

     

    Yes & sorry I have not read all the answers but yes 101% GO LEARN

     

    I learned to read & write while not perfect really helped learning to speak as you are not looking at transliterated from English pronunciations

     

    Also do not get so hung up on tones in the beginning

    Do you know Thai children are never taught anything about tones?

     

    They learn the word & repeat it...They learn the alphabet & vowels & repeat it same as any language

     

    DO THAT!

     

    Get a simple free program & start with the consonants

    Then the vowels

     

    Then learn basic words & on you go!

     

    Many Falangs make it too difficult & use tones as an excuse as not to learn

     

    Learn as Thai's learn...Learn a word LISTEN to it & copy it

    He said that compensation claims may surge to 180 billion baht next year, if the Omicron variant spreads quickly and infects several tens of thousands of people each day, in which case several more insurance companies will be unable to shoulder the burden of the claims and will, ultimately, be forced into bankruptcy.

    Don't roll the dice if you cant pay the price... ????

     

    What is instead folks had not bought insurance then asked you for coverage?

    It is no different than you SELLING insurance then balking at your losses

    You bet...you lost

    Following Thailand’s decision to suspend the ‘Test and go’ quarantine free travel scheme a few days before Christmas due to fears over Omicron, Swedes in the country say the situation is calm.

    Pssst...I live in one of the highest tourism ranked States of the United States...We never required testing on arrival & still do not...Situation is just as calm here thanks...Except Tourism is booming here ????

    "For me, and most I would think, being buried alive would be a horrible thing... why would anyone want to be buried after they are dead"

     

    Going by that logic, then you'd be even more against cremation, since being burnt alive wouldn't be too much fun either!

    True but at least with cremation someone might hear you yelling...Ouch..ouch...fookin ouch ????

     

    Buried none will hear you yelling...who turned out the lights?

    In true Christian belief, the second coming of Jesus will involve each and every believer being resurrected and given eternal life in the garden of eden to which the earth shall be returned. Hence, no body, no resurrection, no eternal life in the garden.

    It is rather odd that some believe in such that a body can be resurrected after...10-100?? years of being buried yet a body turned to ash cannot? Limited second coming powers eh?

     

    That aside there are many that believe in what your saying but not literally instead they believe that it takes 3 days to vacate the shell that use to be your vehicle...

    to be resurrected if you will....so they request their remains not to be touched for three days. Meaning no burial,no cremation, no embalming etc Rather similar to the Thai version of party a few days while monks chant & while your left alone in the cooler box

     

    To those who said burial is good for the soil....Ummm have you seen some of those battlestar galactica  caskets they use?

    Man it will take a century to rot those ...So maybe not too good for the soil eh?

     

    Lastly to those who say it is nice to have a burial plot for family to visit ...That is a bit sad isn't it for them to think your trapped there in a box for all eternity?
