Take heed as to why your own government tells you to never surrender your passport to anyone. Each time you do you are a hostage to that person.

In the 17 years I have been here, I have been friendly with a good few farangs with most of them married to ex bargirls, and I have never known any of them to be any different from other Thai girls. My own wife who I have now being with since I came here, is university educated and has been friendly with all the exbargirl wife's.

That's a very good answer, I have been using the Opera VPN as I have been on Pirate Bay. Thanks.

Sorry I meant Opera.

Anyone know why every time I try to log on to my bank account with Gmail it comes up with "This site can't be reached", everything else is fine. So I have to go to Chrome when I want to log on to my bank. Isn't that strange?

We are already treated like criminals on parole with their ridiculous 90 day reporting, so anything can happen.

Now! Now! It is not Merry Christmas, it is Happy Holidays.

I don't think anyone, I will use the UK as an example, minds emigrants if they pay their way and don't do the Muslim thing of expecting countries to change their ways to suit them.

Yes 24 hour crackdowns on everything you can think of from motorbike riders on the pavements, drunk drivers to the now overstaying visas, instead of the police and immigration doing their jobs all the time.

I know who it won't be, any politicians or soldiers acting as politicians.

Yes they are very reliable, I did my motorbike license with them.

Can you name any?

No I am not asking about the emo in your text, that is perfectly understandable, someone put a laughing emo at Gecko123's post. Sorry about any misunderstanding.

What's with the laughing emo? This is a real tragedy. not a laughing matter. It seems there is a greater amount of undesirable posters on this form lately.

This is a sensible post, but only one thing, you cannot educate stupid. The majority of Thai people are decent, honest and non confrontational, but all that goes out the window when they get behind the wheel of a car or jump on a motorbike. and yes, I am talking about most Thai people, though there are still a minority of decent drivers and riders.

What about the people who use electric carts to travel about while playing golf? They may as well just stick to their pub games like snooker and darts, note I said games, not sport. At least walking while playing golf is giving you exercise.

That may apply in Australia, but not in the UK. Is the UK not refusing to give it's OAP's in Thailand and some other countries their annual pension increases and getting away with it? It certainly isn't affecting it's OAP's votes.

This is one of the reasons I only keep enough money in Thailand for living expenses.

Being covered by a Thai insurance company often means no payout in a claim, I would sure like to know what percentage of Thai insurance companies have actually paid out on claims. It can take months and a lot of expense trying to get claims paid out. This post is in answer to Kingstonkid.

I keep very little money in Thailand, it only takes someone to walk out in front of you, get injured, and both they and the police are after you for money, what you haven't got, they cannot get.

Here is some more Lazada nonsense I never mentioned. Every time I try to sign in, and I mean every time. I have to get a code no sent to my email address then send the no back to Lazada, and this is after being a regular customer for many years. I just wish there was a rival, and don't mention Shopee, I have tried to get a Shopee account a few times with only one success, then when I tried to log on, they would not accept my password.

Religion is OK, worship any religion you want, as long as you don't ram it down other peoples throats, or interfere in anyone else's life.

Yes they always phone when outside the gate. I will take a note of what you have said. Thanks.

I don't get any notice anymore the way I always used to, sometimes my order would come the next day or two, three or four days later. I can't be staying in the house all that time not knowing when my order is coming.

I understand that, but surely they must accept some responsibility for their sellers, as some of them are cheats as has been proved in the past.
