Please no sex we're British.

A place like Lasky come to mind, please take care.

Come on this has been an issue for a long time before the Taskin era.

What country are you from?

I suppose my real living costs are a lot more but then I have relatives school fees to pay. Me I'm a bit like a Lada car.

I'm sorry, get good legal advice.

You have to bite the bullet and apply for a visa. Most western countries will not entertain a tourist visa for your girl friend but I don't know about Mexico. You might find that they will give her a differnt type of visa but you'll have to pay.

Thai Bar Girls, What do they mean when they say

Of course they do as long as you are paying.

I’ve had experience of a guest house and a bar in Thailand and they were both disasters. I didn’t run them my wife and one her friends did. The bar survived for about a year mainly supported by family, friends and the occasional farang drinking there. It could have survived but what did for it and the other bars was the competition of which bar could play the loudest music. At the end of the year it was only a small loss. The guest house was at the lowest end of the market 100 – 150 Bhat per night. The rate attracted farangs as well as Asian people and was usually full every night. I used to enjoy going there in the evening and sharing food and bottle of 100 pipers with the guests. In the end I pulled the plug on it. One night everyone was well over the limit and started confessing to their past sins, one guest was wanted for murder in the U.K., his money running out and wanted to know what he should do; another was on the run from the death penalty in Malaysia. I suppose we broke even on that venture.

What you want to do is more like a “Homestead” venture. I think that could be rewarding but don’t expect to survive on the income it will provide.

Any country you go to it will raise eyebrows with immigration. I would get a new passport and then apply for the Thai visa that suites your purpose.

Nana is one of the big tourist attractions in Thailand and is popular with ex-pats as well. I’ve sat and watched the world go by many times there but luckily I’ve not had a drink spiked. I would certainly prefer to sit and have a drink there than go to the plastic up market drinking holes. Lots of ex-pats go to bars in Nana just to have a drink and meet people and have a chat, not all go for sex.

The OP should report the incident to the police

Heat is proberly the cause of the failure. Make sure the cables inside the computer are not hindering the airflow. Put the drive in a slot where there is plenty of space around the drive.

I was under the impression that the rules on haircuts have been relaxed

No she's not that bad

It’s O.K. I’ve been there lots of times. If you find a bar girl and want to export her to the U.K that used to be the place to go, it used to be the same day service. I must admit that I’ve not been there in the last 10 years so my information is a bit out of date.

There are no ball park figures. It depends on your life style. I would be very content at about 100$ per month. But my wife would have another opinion.

If you got married in Thailand and the marriage was registered according to the law in Thailand she can not divorce you without your consent. There are 2 copies of your marriage certificate, you should have one and your wife the other. I would ask yourself the question, "Is it worthj it".

ovenman- Don't believe it.

Some years ago, a long time before the wife I got asked to bring M & S teabags, muffins, honey and a dibber to Thailand. The suitcase was very light and I got stopped by customs. I opened the case and “farang” followed by lots of laughter from the customs men. A few days later we went shopping and to Marks & Spencers. I asked why did you want M&S tea bags the reply was that it’s a long way for me to go. She lived on Soi 42 on Sukhumvit. Anyway, after about 6 weeks we got close I had to go to England for a few months and she decided to follow me, no warning she just turned up at my door step. I was amazed. The normal questions. How did you get the visa and pay for the ticket. The answer I’m already married and live in Canada but my husband is very old and I’m waiting for him to die.

The “dibber” is the thing that you use to get the honey out of the pot to the bread.

I met her in the Beer Garden in Soi 7.

kiwibird - I have tried to give you advice in a sympathetic way but even my patience is getting exhausted. Do you really think that you can go to Cambodia and get a visa to re-enter Thailand. If your well educated friend is called Taskin you might get away with it. I hope for your sake this post is a troll, if it is it’s in very bad taste. The only way that you are going to resolve your problems is to buy a ticket to your home country and sort re-entry from there. If you haven’t got the money for the ticket home seek help from your embassy and do it quickly.

I don't quite understand the problem. I know America is not the same as the U.K. but if you were going from Thailand to the U.K. I would use the Thai passport then you get the exit stamp and paper on your Thai passport. When you get to the U.K. show your U.K. passport, if you get questioned show your Thai passport as well. My wife has been doing this for years but it might be different in the USA. I can see that you could have difficulty in returning to Thailand in the future without the Thai exit stamp

Use your Thai passport to leave and your american passport when you enter USA. As far as I know dual nationality is allowed in the USA. My wife does it all the time from the UK. Thai passport in and out of Thailand and British passport in and out of England.

I've managed nearly 10 years and it's not been too bad, but then there's not much difference in our ages.

I still get "Smoke too much", "Drink too much", "Money too little" and get inspected for my apperance as if it was my first day at school.

I agree only confess at the airport. If you come clean anywhere else you run the risk that an example will be made of you. Don't forget that 2 years is a long time, the max fine is the same as a 90 day overstay. Also as soon as you leave Thailand I would apply for a new passport, the overstay stamp will show other countries that you've overstayed in Thailand and you could have problems entering other countries and this could include Singapore, if that happens you will get sent back to Thailand to await deportation to youre home country. Why not consider going back home and sorting a visa to return to Thailand there? You'll have more chance of getting one there. If you apply in I suspect the embassy will assume that once you've got the visa you will disappear again for 2 years.

It will be pregnancy testing next week
