I would stop coaching him and never have anything to do with him again.

 

If his friends (if he has any) all start causing trouble then I'd just walk away and never do any of these ungreatful morons any kind of service ever again.

 

Don't go out of your way to help those who clearly hate you, ever.

Thank you so much for the advice ???? 

Yup truly ungrateful, unfriendly, disrespectful, stupid and lazy. Characteristics for a great future ????

I understand that you dislike the present government, but your hatred for them is not born out in the reality of life such as I experienced when living in LOS. Certainly not as bad as when Thaksin was in charge. That really was a low point for LOS IMO.

 

If expats want to leave that is up to them, but IMO they won't find it any better when they get back to where they belong. Doesn't matter how bad it gets in LOS, it can't be worse than where I am now, and at least it's hot there.

Why and how was it bad when Thaksin was in charge?

Some of my Japanese friends are still benefitting from the 1M THB Elite Visa Taksin created, with free unlimited massages at luxury spas etc

The gf may be 100% right "culturally" that it was your fault for the outburst, not the cheating depending on HOW you called him on it.

 

What to do about it - it's too late to "mend fences" if they haven't been already so just "pretend" the whole process never existed. There was never any coaching, never any outburst, never even met the kid and move along with your life.

Treat him like a snake encountered in the forest. "My Way, Your Way" is how the wife explained it to me. Means simply don't mess with things that might bite you. 

Thanks for a well balanced and a well thought out response ????

This is a good general structure for me to apply for many other uncomfortable situations in life.

BTW is the wife Thai? Didn't even know Thais had  "My Way, Your Way" thing.

Thanks again! owe you lots of beers ????

When I first visited Thailand I was amazed at the people.

Smiling much of the time, cheerful, helpful and obliging.

Then I stopped spending so much...

But that's only in places like Pattaya and the other 77 provinces!

Wife is nicest, kindest person I ever met, she's from the farming hills in Nan. Her father from the same area basically threatened to beat me up in our only ever meeting (apparently he's calmed down now after the disgrace of daughter marrying farang), but he was a right a hole.

Lucky for you to marry into such a high so family!

Exactly what the vast majority of the Chinese tourists did, when they were #1 in volume. Everyone I spoke to in the industry said they did not spend much money. Only the fruit shake vendors, the buffets, 7/11, Lotus, and duty free seemed to make any money from them. And they want them back?

of course they want those "rich" Chinese back!

how well do you know the kid? you coach him in basketball, does he always talk like this? 

Hmm, good questions ???? ,

how well do you know the kid?

I don't know him all that well. Only for about 2 months. 

Does he always talk like this? 

no he is aloof, I try to to very friendly with everyone. He does shot at the other like that at times.

Do you have children ?  Do you consult forums about whether to smack their bums ?

As stated above, walk. 

 

No to both!

Also don't believe in corporal punishment

The Kid and your TGF were right , you need to stop cheating when playing basketball and you should apologise  and promise not to cheat again 

I am the coach! I didn't play

Was told yesterday by the CM Chinese/Thai immigration officer "No more Covid extensions na ka" 

I probably shouldn't have mentioned that I don't need any more of their visas because I am leaving at the end of this month ????

After my accident when I had to go to the hospital every day for dressings  and couldn't drive myself, it was apparent that my wife was annoyed at having to take me. That was probably the beginning of the end for me.

Soooooo, just being with someone doesn't mean that they care about one.

Unfortunately typical behaviour. They become Arom Sia ????

I have the ability to walk into a room with 99 nice women and 1 violent psychotic woman .......

And I'll leave with the violent madwoman every time.

No need to even talk, I want them and they want me.

Pheromones, psychic attraction ........... I have no idea how it works.

I didn't realise what was happening, one of my pals pointed it out to me.

Obviously it's still not free.

Unfortunately we seem to share the same misfortune I guess ????

Did you have a psychotic woman during your childhood? perhaps a babysitter, a maid etc? just trying to figure out, how my choices are shaped.

I am never lonely while alone & spend hours each day alone with my thoughts but.........

Would you care to elaborate on how you achieved this state? meditation? 

Living alone and Feeling lonely are 2 entirely separate things. Always a good option to analyze to see why you feel lonely (whether you are living alone or someone else lives with you).  

If you can find a way to be happy when you are alone, then you have a good chance of being happy when there is someone else living with you.

Provide a way for British citizens living overseas to access Covid-19 vaccinations procured by the UK Government, for example via British embassies and consulates.

More details
Currently there can be difficulties for British citizens based overseas in accessing their resident country's covid-19 vaccination programme, which is detrimental to the individual's health and wellbeing.

I believe the extra holiday on the 27th has been cancelled due to Covid, and Chiang Mai immigration will be open Tuesday. This was announced in late June. That aside, if your current permission to stay expires on a day immigration is closed, you can apply for an extension on the first subsequent day that immigration is open, and generally the extension should be granted without penalty.

Thank you SO MUCH ???? saved a lot of worrying ???? and most probably 500 THB. 

I owe you many drinks!

What is a covid visa ?

Hi all,

Didn't realise that Chiang Mai immigration will be closed until the 28th ????
Can I still get a new  60 day Covid visa?

TIA

You need to do a little research.  Yet - they have a whole lot of options.  Do a search on types and quality of Vitamin C.  Look at the best types and brands.  Then look them up on iHerb.
Too much work?  Buy Blackmore.  It's expensive for Vitamin C.  I pay maybe half the price as I can buy at any Thai pharmacy for run of the mill ascorbic acid..  It's more useful when you're looking for say the most bioavaible form of zinc for instance. 
You get a discount on shipping if you buy over $40 but you need to cap your purchase at $46 to stay under the cap for customs.  That's official.  I've made order over $50 and never got charged customs but I normally keep it under $46.

Most useful information ???? Thanks!

Shoppee - best prices but limited range

Lazada - a little more than Shoppee but wider range

 

Anything the above do nto have = iHerb (not Thai based but they deliver here and pretty fast)

 

Yolida brand yogurt is good, unsweetened and available in most supermarkets in large tubs

 

Also easy to make your own yogurt here given the warm climate.

I normally buy Blackmores Vitamin C 1000mg from Boots.  

Do you think vitamin C from iHerb will have the same quality? Just had a look on iHerb, so many options, a bit confused ????
