When you've had the majority of stds on the menu. No longer have any heart left. Have no friends but know 200 people. Complain about everything. Eat 10 chillies in your pad gaprow and think it's not spicy enough. Experienced the joys of managing a thai workplace. Prefer Leo or hongthong (debatable). Witness 20 different traffic infringements and the odd death on your daily commute and it's normal. Speed limit? What's that? Use of domestic air travel as if it's a bus service. Start to feel cold when the weather dips to 25°. Hide in man cave during songkran. "Mr where u from" "where u hotel" elicits a tired emotion of complete detachment. Can eat vendors food that's been hanging in the sun all day and not get sick. No longer hear or see taxi touts trying to get your attention, they got tuned out 15 years ago. Check asean now each morning. Able to carry a truckload of goods on a scooter + a token dog if u want to be that guy.

Strange as there was a post on this forum not long ago stating these sort of lease agreements are essentially illegal.

I don't have this issue yet with kbank. I did ask them though and they said people with 50k limit can just do back to back 50k transfers to move more? Does this not work?

Also unless you plan on continuing to be liable for Australian tax relinquish your financial ties to the country and do a final filing with the ATO. A note that your accountant adds to your tax return stating it will be the last one. Relinquish Australian tax residency if it is a permanent move.

It's good. The only things that are annoying about it are the reports of banking issues for pre-existing accounts and the downgrade from 5 year to 2 year license. Calling a 5 year valid, long term visa a tourist visa is stupid in my opinion.

I think it's true that the taxis have agreements here. I very rarely get tuk tuks, but last year I decided to try and use one to get to Zoe in yellow. An infamous place that everybody knows. 100% the guy knew where I wanted to go, but he took me to a karaoke bar instead. Good luck trying to get me in there.

Ironic that he has a sak yant tattoo that promotes harmony, spiritual purity and a degree of moral discipline

Wanted to get more in touch with nature it seems. Currently identifying as a water monitor.

Next I will be seeing ads for this book...

If you frequent bars and areas like patong and pattaya you meet these older, beer drinking type of people. Often jaded. The few and far between younger and normal working expats are either too busy with work or also a bit weird. If you don't live in those areas then you are limited to people you see around your home and any hobbies etc. I have lived both these. The former and the latter. Nowadays most (maybe 90%) of the "foriegners" I encounter are Russians around my home area. They speak Russian and I have no interest in them and vice versa. I avoid most of the above types. I don't come accross many normal expats that aren't pissheads. retirees, Russians, criminals or mentally unstable.

I've had a number of things fixed in my rented room by the condominium engineer for free. I think this stems from most of the fittings and workmanship being of very poor quality initially and it needs to be replaced at some point. I've noticed in a lot of different condominiums that they have problems with water leaking into cracks in the walls particularly. It definitely sounds like a valid complaint though.

Rough as guts. Clearly not smart for a relaxed family swim.

I'd rather root my ex

It seems location is not important to you. I have heard good things about Hakwata Clinic https://maps.app.goo.gl/vbRvYJqC6jo7dMoD8

Weird story. Walking around barefoot at midnight and getting "massages" on the 2nd floor in the early hours of the morning. Meanwhile has a partner and a family. Sounds like the James O'Keefe of lawyers. There's a Thai man that stands on the corner of the soi to Arkbar that offers literally everyone walking by cocaine openly. He offered it to me the other day and is also mentioned in reviews of the area. If you buy from him without getting instantly scammed and locked up then maybe you will drop dead from putting unknown white powder up your nose.
