I'm posting this from the company apartment in lower Suk paid for by my wife's employers. We've been married 14 years with a 9 year old daughter.
When I messed up my money transfer from the UK to buy a car in LOS my father in law gave me a bridging loan until it was sorted.
My wife's from Khon Kaen. Her dad's from Roi Et.
A vague acquaintance of mine gave his Thai girlfriend 200,000 baht towards opening a restaurant. She gave half to her mum and they both blew the lot playing cards.
She's from Minburi.
Go figure.
Basically if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and swims like a duck it's a duck no matter where it was born.
Unfortunately many blokes seem to latch onto somebody and all there baggage simply by the virtue of they've got a sexy arse and give "oral pleasure" on demand.
"A vague acquaintance of mine gave his Thai girlfriend 200,000 baht towards opening a restaurant. She gave half to her mum and they both blew the lot playing cards"
It's a fact some people can't handle money and will always be in debt,and will never learn. how can you help them? you can't, until they sink to bottom and fight to come back up !

It's called the "sufficiency economy".
Wonderful for the top 1%, not so much for the rest!
So it's now time for a change the Sufficiency economy should now give way to the Insufficiency economy and frankly not before time! don't worry about the top !%
they always cream off the first 99% !

It's about time Thailand got into Solar Power in a big way,given the the hours of sunshine.
Yeah, they can buy one of the new Tesla batteries for when it ain't shining, only $15,000 each.
A Tesla Battery may have it's uses but it's hard to see how it's usable,in an area that has no power supply??? so the
Solar power would need to be up and running first!

Unless you, or somebody with extensive Thailand experience, is acting as a chaperone/guide, tell them to forget it. They'll be ripped off by taxi and tuk tuk drivers, and shysters of every color, dragged into tailor and gem shops, and
stumbling/falling on terrible pavements.
They'd be captive in their hotel, and may as well be Iin Morocco being cleaned out, closer too.
Spain and Portugal are nice at that time.
I agree with you! Thailand is going to be too tough on this couple I foresee them running into problems which they will not be
prepared for or able to cope with,as you have already pointed out.
They would be safer and still have a great time in Malta,as I did a few years ago!and a highly civilised lifestyle,with no worries about
Medical problems if it all goes wrong!

Solar power in the UK is at such a level of developement,that it supplies power needs,and then contributes surplus energy to the National Grid,which they get paid for the surplus.
So hours of sunlight is a major advantage for Thailand!

You will have to sign a standard form at the Land Office that you (the farang) did not provide any money for your wife to buy the property. No getting around that, no sign no Ok by Land Office, no new chanote.
Which translated means lie now and pay for the lie later, UP2U.

Eric Loh said:
"After 8 years on the run and numerous attempts by junta and Ahbisit governments to extradite him, has anyone make any success? That's how the world perceived as political interference in a judiciary conviction".
I have never seen or heard an extradition order requested for Thaksin unless I missed something. Could you cite your source and to what country it was requested to?

Is that the best you can do 1 press report from june 2007. which was a threat to lodge an extradition charge!
against Thaksin.

He needs to keep the UK in Europe, because he hasn't got a big enough pair to run Britain on his own. He needs the other big guns to tell him what to do. He goes to other leaders begging, and Merkel and Hollande just swat him aside...who the f wants Merkel to be the Queen of Britain?, seems like she's got the biggest say in everything....she invites a zillion refugees over, then says, "right, you take this many, you can have this many" whats that all about?
Probably a Nobel Prize for Merkel! she doesn't give a toss the Migrants won't be living anywhere near her property !

Nobody was consulted on whether they wanted a United States of Europe and I hope that the UK can show the way for the rest of Europe and leave.
Some of us believed Enoch and voted on the federal concept. I feel sorry for those who believed Hattersley, that it was just a common market - in goods, labour and capital. Note, however, that whoever we believed, a yes vote accepted the loss of the ability to exclude well-behaved fellow Europeans.
It wasnt Hattersley it was Edward Heath who lied!
I was thinking of the public debates at the time of the referendum.
Heath led us into the "Common Market" as it was called,there's plenty of information on the net,and easy to find out Heaths part in the big lie!
There's plenty more where this link came from!

If this Poll is anywhere valid Cameron has a massive problem,compared with the Poll a few days ago,as reported on Thai Visa of 50 50 %.
I expect the opinion polls to show an ever increasing move to an Out conclusion, however as some have already said the Brits don't like change and I think they will be threatened with lies and misinformation and finally conned ( same as 1975) into voting to remain In this undemocratic Union.
Just hope I'm wrong.
Unfortunately I fear you are right nontabury! already Camerons mob are talking up the gains made on the UK Referendum talks in the EU which from early reports amount to the sum total of sweet F A gained,except what the EU was prepared to give away as a Promotion for turning up !
Would it be too much to ask for once that the British vote for it's own people instead of all the riff raff from around the world,who only come to the UK for the freebies,and have no intention of paying their way,money (cash in hand, no tax) get's sent back to their own families back home,It's high time we stopped being the Worlds Benefactor, and started thinking about looking after our own people. just like Ted Heath was an abject failure leading us into the "Common Market" he lied about.... His yearning for a federal Europe is well documented for those who care to research the "Common Market" and "Ted Heath" no wonder the British people thought they were voting for a trading only agreement called the "Common Market"
If UKIP can't drag us out of the EU MESS this time then it's good night UK! because Cameron has got no intention of taking us out of the EU,and it's only his rebel back benchers that have forced this bargaining position on him very reluctantly.

I cannot believe that half of British people want to STAY in the eu...
We were never given the choice to enter the old common market..The traitor Heath [probably blackmailed] put Britain in for one trial year.
We were then asked to vote to STAY in or leave.
How could we now have expected our old markets to give us the same conditions if we now [after one year of telling them to 'p*** off and find another buyer for their produce.]wanted to trade again.
Many ,like me, did not bother to vote to stay but would have rushed to say no to JOINING.
We have now meekly given all of our power of government to faceless gnomes in Brussells..
How can 50% of British people want this to continue?
You are right about Heath,he told us we were joining a Common market,before he died he admitted on a BBC program that he
lied to the British people that he always planned the EU that we have today and a Federal one.

Try asking the computer shops if there is anything they have for flushing out the printer.

"In your thirties" is much too young to be virtually retired,especially to a Country like Thailand.
Nobody can tell you what to do,the fact that you know you are in a rut,is a good start,think long and carefully what you want to do with the rest of your life!

I would not agree with uncontrolled mass migration, but that is not what we are discussing - in this case the numbers have already been agreed to as part of UN and EU legislation. If people are not happy with those decisions, then take it to Brussels and stone the EU buildings because that is where the problem exists.
This cowardly attack on unarmed and defenseless people, trying to do their job is just short of terrorism. Is that how your country debates and alters policy? I thought it was up to people to take an active role in their community and vote, but no - that is not fashionable and it is far easier to point fingers elsewhere than at yourself.
Where else except Europe could foreigners walk into someone else's Country,some of it agreed by bleeding heart PC politicians who have their own agenda, and then when the Economic Migrants don't get everything they want,they turned violent on the people and stoned the rightful owners of the Country .
You couldn't make this up in the gutter press!

Couldn't agree more. Someone I know living a very unhealthy life style had an enormous hospital bill here in Thailand which could not be paid..eventually was discharged...no payment.First observation - she was given the treatment she needed regardless of who she was, where she was from or her ability to pay.
Second observation - the bill is not enforceable to the US where she lives
Third observation - she's a resident of the US, why does she not have travel insurance to come to the UK?
If she had travel insurance, or indeed if her health insurance in the US covers her for travel, they pick up the bill for the risk they received payment for and it is therefore right and proper for the NHS to claim the payment.
Expats in Thailand ought perhaps pay more attention to who will pay their medical bills if they face a similar medical emergency in Thailand.
British expats in Thailand who say they will never set foot back in the UK need not pay any attention to what the NHS does, they're never going to use its services (or so they claim).
Was that a Thai???
Foreigner.
He must be the luckiest Foreigner in Thailand, usually a foreigner will never get away without paying the Bill ! and they keep the Passport until the bill has been paid.

These 'little Englanders' - how I hate them! Neo-fascist supporters of UKIP, doubtless! That should get me some unwarranted responses, I sincerely hope!
The EU - one of the greatest political and economic unions of all time and the dear 'little Englanders' think that the UK is still the centre of the universe and can 'go it alone' in the fight against terrorism and economic survival.
Bird brains - all of them!
And you are from.........?
He's been asked that question several times, obviously some tin pot country not even worth a mention!

These types of threads always bring out the worst in people, especially when it's a British topic. The yanks think they have it bad but EVERYONE loves to bash the Brits, or the English to be more precise. There is no discussion, just pure unbridled bitching.
Bottom line, people are sick and tired of being dictated to by a foreign entity; a club which has burgeoned from what was signed up to as the common market that now controls most facets of life. We didn't sign up to that, and I most certainly didn't. The UK is a small island running out of space fast, services are struggling to cope and the EU cats just want to keep on shovelling the people in. Enough is enough, whatever is costs, even if, as some of you uninformed folk seem to think, it will lead the country to ruin. I'd rather have the latter and control of my backyard than ever closer ties to essentially being a diluted state. What's the point! It's not about wanting to be better than anyone or delusion of grandeur of days of empire etc (stroll on... whatever, most Brits couldn't give a monkeys about any of that past). Anyway, bash away haters, I'm done with this predictable thread.
I see you got difficulties to accept that all what comes from Brussel is the result of consense. Brussel's administration rules out what even you Brits agreed. So don't complain. Once you have signed a contract you have to fulfill and follow the rules. To make it easy for you to understand: If you are going to get a loan from a bank you are happy if you get it, but you have also to accept their rules in repayment and interest.
So if you leave EU you have to accept higher import taxes and also that your products are not competitive with EU products because of taxes/customs. Subsidies will be gone as well. So for me it's hard to see some blindfolded people on this small island. Open your eyes!
I just can't wait to see the look on the little englanders faces when they find out, no longer part of the EU, find the French gendarmes at Calais shrugging their shoulders and pointing out to the refugees that 'angleterre is over there'.
Cooperation gone: It will be one way to lessen the EU's migrant load, that is for sure.
Control of our Borders is one of the main reasons we are voting on pulling out of the EU. Should that happen it is highly unlikely the borders will be open to all !
Wishful thinking on your part I fear!

If you do the scheduled maintenance they will last A long time.After so many miles you'll need to maybe do the cylinder wall sleve,go 10,000ths over on piston and rings.Then you just go on and on.Usually when it starts smoking instead of doing A top end job,they
Just go and buy another.
My neighbor has a 1965 Honda S90. He had it when he went to college--he now also has two MBs, a Honda NSX, and a Toyota quad-cab pick up, but he still rides the S90 to the store and the local. It still looks good and runs quite well. He has no idea of the mileage. He said it was his only transport for several years until he made enough to buy a car. Maintenance: his driver does it now, but he said regularly changing oil, tires, and batteries helps; and once an engine overhaul and re-paint. Not bad for 50 years of riding. I have a 1946 Harley Flathead Civilian 45 WL, but that is another story.
The Honda 90 and the Honda 50 in 1965 was the first two Japanese bikes to be sent to the UK,"Motorcycle Magazine" gave a rave strip down revue,of a quality product,and thus ended the UK Motorcycle industry! and Japan never looked back!

Maybe she has made a wise choice.
"Respect" is something which should be earned not demanded or expected.
Seems like you have prejudged the facts without even knowing anything about the facts!
