  1. So you're disgusted at being treated like a tourist? Do you work here?
  2. 20bht is a subsidized fare. Are you disgusted at the Thai people getting a subsidy from their government or that the Thai government isn't subsidizing foreigners?
  3. I think you're forgetting about the curse of growing old for many men.
  4. What rising bath? Barely unchanged against the USD over 5 years. Weaker against the £.
  5. Increasingly realise if I'm offline I have a good time doing the typical stuff, cooking, reading, meeting a friend. If I spend time online it often results in a bad day, you tubing, forum posting, fbooking.
  6. I pick the phone up to answer a msg, check a sports score and then end up on here. It's wasting life but so hard to stop. Nobody looks back on a weekend/month/year and thinks...what a great time that was, if only I spent more time on that forum.
  7. Thanks for the replies. It's 13k baht a month pension. As I feared she looks a risky proposition from the UKs point of view. She has a PhD and will start a post doc end of the year but she won't get a letter confirming that till September. I guess it's better to wait till then. We've been together 13 years and I'm the one who would fund her trip.
  8. Anyone with relevant experience? 50, retired from gov job on 13k pension. Not much in the bank or assets. Will UK embassy reject her?
  9. Westerners aren't using public services like broke foreigners in the UK so I doubt they care at all. Gossipers will burn thru 100 people and the westerner wearing the ten year old flipflops will be one of them.
  10. UK is tougher. 400k in bank versus 4 million in the bank. Or, 65k a month versus 100k a month income.
  11. Simon you said Turkey was too cold for your lungs. UK will be worse. On the other hand a self contained life of an older man doesn't differ that much wherever one is.
  12. What time is the last songtaw back? How much does it cost if taking other means?
  13. Have you ever been married?
