Every bike I ever rode gave me a bum bum after about 300 km; all 11 of them. Move around.

Let Thais help Thais. Their kingdom, their laws, their citizens.

I no longer have the hand coordination for very long posts; sorry.

I suggest the OP clarifies what kind of Thai city/town he thinks he and his Filipino/a want.

I invented the chorizo queen phrase last night right here. Tex-Tex sausage.

I've known one guy with a bachelor's in TESOL, teaching up north. I can't determine that he's ever earned 30K a month, in nearly ten years.

I was a Rice and Chorizo Queen before coming here. After 6.5 years here, communication remains the biggest problem.

ASK YOUR SCHOOL; THEY SHOULD KNOW.

.... I were in the mood for going one step further towards full retirement and moved to Lampang...

I thought Lamphun was too small; I suspect MHS is worse - almost in Burma.

You're disappointing a bit PB ... I would have thought that you - as a long term CM-retiree resident with a 500+ bike - would have known that "lamphun" and "lampang" aren't just 2 different transcriptions of the same name but that they actually are 2 different locations.

I doubt that Lampang is more exciting than Lamphun for an expat retiree. I also have been twice to MHS and found it much more remote and boring than Lamphun or (I suspect) Lampamg).

Please, no comments about our a**holes.

I live in the 'burbs. Hardly ever see backpackers when I'm in town.

Never seen it here. I drink 2.5 liters of Pepsi Max every day. I quit 4 hours before bedtime. Been doing this for about 35 years. No side effects.

Former US Ambassador to Thailand, former Peace Corps English teacher in Lamphun, gave this advice: "Practice. Practice. Practice."

.... I were in the mood for going one step further towards full retirement and moved to Lampang. I consider that a poor choice in this respect, because i didn't find it much different than Chiang Mai - except that it is smaller, and have fewer choices of what farlangs tend to favor .... - I didn't quit Chiang Mai just to settle in a scaled down version of Chiang Mai, so I'm now considering Mae Hong Son (ruling out Pai as an option) for my 3/4-retirement.

Yes, so actually, 'roving assistant' is a good idea. They should assign one 24/7 to all farangs who enter cm by air, that would push up tourist figures, get the world media's attention and be incredibly useful to us all.

My son in Ireland vacations in Florida, Spain, Turkey. I've had one couple visit me in 6 years; they were spending a small inheritance to study a remote Myanmar language. A friend lost half his net worth in the crash; another postponed his retirement to CMai by two years. Home prices are down by 40%. Unemployment running 10%.

Hundreds of thousands of Germans must have known in the 1940's. Unless we act against war, the orders to kill soldiers and innocent civilians come from me and you. And from Thais.

He's five foot two and he's six foot four

He fights with missiles and with spears

He's all of 31 and he's only 17

He's been a soldier for a thousand years

He's a Catholic, a Hindu, an atheist and a Jane

A Buddhist, a Baptist and a Jew

And he knows he shouldn't kill and he knows he always will

Kill you for me, my friends, and me for you

He's fighting for Canada, he's fighting for France

He's fighting for the USA

and he's fighting for the Russians and he's fighting for Japan

And he thinks he'll put an end to war this way

He's fighting for democracy, he's fighting for the Reds

He's fighting for the good of all

He's the one who must decide who's to live and who's to die

And he never reads the writing on the wall

He's the universal soldier and he is really is to blame

His orders come from far away no more

They come from him and you and me and brothers, can't you see

This is not the way to put an end to war.

Thais need to be taught this by Thais.

Drew Aitch's poll is good

eek, I think rohitsuk's post was garbled nonsense or a direct attack. Best ignored.

The no-7 day rule is fairly new; camerata's PR thread is old. If you're fired in afternoon, leave country by midnight or get 7-day extension for 1900 baht.

In many respects Thais build a better house than we in the west using their own standards and designs. Consider my home, now under construction in Sakon Nakhon. Reinforced,rebar concrete, with steel superstructure topped with concrete tile and solid hardwood frames. Compare that to my US built stick house made from the cheapest pine 2x4s, thin slab, and shingles on top, with sheetrock walls, and thinset tile. Get my point. My Thai house will last centuries, my house in Louisiana may last 50.

The CBR150R is current, and the red Austin-Healey shown had less than half the power of my 100-6 with Corvette/Duntov engine.

17) Not to post links to pages that contain objectionable material. This includes... pornography...

18) Not to discuss the specifics of prostitution. Thailand has a visible sex industry, and acknowledgment of that fact is not forbidden. However ThaiVisa is not the place to seek or give information on this topic, regardless of your sexual habits, preferences or orientation.

Both British diplomats past and present appear to act more circumspectly than foul-mouthed 'fighting Quaker' Hanoi-bombing Richard Nixon. Glad to see the current UK Ambassador was not a patrician. Maybe working class mugs are named Dracula and Butch.

When I tutored international students here, they studied Egypt, Sumeria, Babylon, Maya, Aztec, Inca, First Nations, etc. Surely they covered ww2. But Thai schools, probably not.

And whilst we should never forget the holocausts of USA, Australia, Germany, Serbia, China, Cambodia, Rwanda, etc., there's more to history than wars and holocausts. Gandhi changed how we change the world: by loving our enemies, which Christendom forgot 1,600 years ago.
