    It's not about being negative, it's about the reality of living in Thailand. 

    All the relatives and friends will be circling like vultures.

    Thais find in it extremely difficult to say no when they're asked by family or friends for a loan. They know they probably won't get it back as well.

    Hope a brother or family member isn't building the house as that would be another story.

    Cheers

    Unfortunately this is the truth of the matter. 
    Best advice is to marry an only child orphan with no children. 

  2. I had a similar experience about 10 years ago. They questioned a similar thing where the binding on my passport had started to let go on the photo page. Separation was less than a centimetre. 
    After much pleading they allowed my wife and I to pass through. On attempting to board the flight one of their staff pulled us aside and handed us an envelope full of Thai baht equivalent to the exact amount we had paid for our tickets and told us they wouldn’t be allowing us to fly because they may be subjected to a large fine by Indian immigration on arrival in India. My wife was offered the option of traveling alone if she wished. What a shambles. We then had to cough up for a return flight to Chiang Mai where we were living at that time.
