I am sure they got common sense. it is a bit different from the western common sense. still i am not convinced there is a lot of common sense in the west and they do not bring it here. these clever thai business people who believe they are better off when they never give away a baht are real fun. completly misleaded. and yeah i left shops i was going to a long time. when i pass i can see how they are wondering why i do not even look at them. I have to say, this works with westerners as well. Maybe they really believe they are so superior to you, you must come back because otherwise you are lost or something. some tried to convince me of that. westerners. .innit strange? they think they need to explain it to me, and that at least may help. the clever thai actually believes he can dictate the rules as he is thai and i do not understand anyway. both believe they are inevitably right. and everybody else is...? AND !! There are lots of great and grateful business with wonderful products and service!

Thank you Captain. Well explained and so true. Now when someone comes up with that superficial expert knowledge i am bored about for the last 38 years and when i get harsh insults for just saying: Sorry it is not true, they are not all lazy, they are not all cheating and smile is nice not wrong etc now i will tell them: read this, maybe you will get it.

Who was asking for the wake up call? The wall street guys always know so much better then the dreamers. Sukhumvit? there is more to the land of smiles. did he run out of money already? (remeber the wall street has no own money) now needs to sell a book. with the usuall stereotypes. this thread is just marketing, promotion. so far i read only common places.

Hi Kenny, i am qiute sure, you are overthinking. Still it is good to watch yourself gettig older. 1 If you have no problems finding sleep (at 10 - 11) it sounds good. lots of people have this problem at your age. it also shows you sleep well. you do not wake up inbetween much (or at all). great. Men at your age sometimes get up for a piss two, three times or more, or just wake up after 3 hours and that's it. 2 getting older, people need less sleep. statiscically. there are exceptions. when you wake up after 6,7 hours and feel well, it seems that's what you needed. (I really want my 8 hours myself, but often i am fine with 6 and sometimes i want 9.) 3 Of course it is not easy to get back to sleep if you already got 6 hours AND the days wakes up with the sun rising. you might get back after 6 hours if it is 11 pm. 4 anyway i would not start taking this and that. some helps sometimes or for a while....and yeah a dark room is better than flashlights. if it gets worse for longer , better see a doc. kindly Bernhard i am no doctor or specialist. i had my own sleeping problems for clear reasons. i am informed with doctors who are friends.

Hi, if the non O is based on marriage your wife may import, only if she has stayed in UK long enough (i think it s two years but better check) and relocates. She can reduce the duty then. In any case i recommend to ask the shipping company for their ususal and best way to handle it. they do it all the time and know the options. There will be duty. Ask the World Wide Seaven Seas for that. I can recommend https://www.thailand-transport.de/en/

Very good! there is this and that to remember, think, complain about, and clever ad to the idea and... it is very good. it's a start and makes them understand better, even what they find on the net. girl learn to protect themselves boys learn to respect the girls and what may improve their success, the real success in love the unity , the pair

it's lonely at the top

good info! Our container was 20'' as well, but from germany. we gave it to a shipping company sending containers to thailand every week. You could even buy a space in a container together with others. That may be possible also from other countries. 300 kg are not a whole container for sure. If only boxes, may fit well. We shipped in thai wifes name. as they definitly said, that would be better. And it officially reduces the customs, if she was away long enough (i think 2 years or 3 is right. you may look that up. the company handled the customs and charged it to us. i got the impression they charge by the total weight. but i am not sure about that. the amoount was absolutly reasonable. We had a door to door arrangement - to far isaan - and it was all pleasant and well done.

I may only reccommend to not listen or follow this person. He sseems to be a rather scrupulous business man - like some of this kind before. It is all manipukative bla bla and heavy BS. it's only words. is it teaching? is it easy to just follow somebodys words? Please, forgive me, if i am wrong, which is still possible. Can he be wrong? I 'd rather believe an "uneducated" farmer in the field aboout the habits of his animals. Now you may excuse me, going on with my silly yet humble purposes and ideas and sense and all that other entertaining and joyful ... bye bye :-)

Skyline Deluxe by Marianne Le Solleil Levant it is currently available only in german A romantic novella about the adventure of an erotic experiment in the science of love A photorealistic fairy tale for adults. A book like a poem. While on a business trip to Bangkok, a dreamy free spirit and musician, Tom encounters a Japanese woman at the table next to him at breakfast. He finds himself fascinated by her inexplicable attraction to him. His helpless attempts to establish contact do not hinder her self-confident presence. The miraculous harmony as a couple of two individuals from very different backgrounds in a special constellation leads from the consistently loving tentative approach into an intense liaison on all levels. The ecstatic encounter of condensed emotional experience in the comfortable surroundings of a five-star ambiance allows their loving affection to blossom rapidly. Sensitive, personal conversations alternate with philosophical, ideological discourses, tender exaggeration embellishes the mundane everyday acts of getting to know each other, and the erotic exploration of their physical unions is not lacking in its intensity. They have a lot of fun, and more than a few comedic scenes garnish the proceedings. The suddenly intimate partners are each gentle and cheeky, awkward and funny in their own way. In the complement of the equally tolerant yet strict Asian society and the no less complementary advantages of prosperity with its demand for decent correctness, they stagger into friendly romance steeped in their otherworldly amour fou. Happiness has a catch. Both know it. It was her idea. He agreed. Skyline Deluxe is a metaphysical love story unfolding in real time. Insanely sexy. Extremely clever. Super interesting. So very romantic. Totally amusing. And pretty funny. fyi: the cover is a traditional image of the kinaree manora. one of the ancient tales, a love story of a celestial kinaree

which way? Did you give her a written document the bank accepted,that gives her access? Or else?

Listen to DrJack54, it is all right. Do not know if Samui is different. I have been to Samui Immigration only once for an extension decades ago and found them friendly and fast. Sawasdii - what you want - extension of visa - looks in passport - stamp - thank you - smile

Please Jing Joe, I am not a doctor, but was informed clearly by mine at a time, when another issue (fixed) could lead to similar cramps. I post spontaniously because i think YOU SHOULD SEE A DOCTOR. The point is - I do not want to scare you but comfort you. that sounds like a relevant lack of calcium. at least some time. the cramps you tell us seem to be typical. Yet they may occure for a different reason. Again i am not a doctor. magnesium uses the same channels as calcium. yet you can't go without calcium. No. Little cramps may not be a problem, (scary) but you do not know of the cause of calcium lack or may it get worse. The doctors at the time of my situation kept me in the hospital just to be safe, if there would be an effect. BECAUSE in the worst case you get fast into a state you cannot do much and get into heavy agony that leads to even death if nobody cares for you well. I told them, there will be somebody all the time. They said, fine, but to get the necessary treatment when it goes that bad, i have come to the hospital. and i may have only 15 minutes! or less. mostly it isnt too bad, still you should get checked and get the proper medication. before there is problem. best wishes and most of the stuff can be fixed well today

Do not worry. I did it after the Covid lock was lifted, as there was no short term appointment possible for a visa in my hometown, but we wanted to enter Thailand asap. There is no problem getting that usual 30 extension. Follow Dr.Jack. (yes it is 1900 Baht) Do not worry.

Hi, if a french person moves to germany, does (s)he ever become german? (Yes he may get german nationality, passport etc. officially, but does (s)he become german?). Same with germans moving to the states, italians moving to spain (maybe their mentality is close to each other but still?). We are not thai and will not become thai before we are born again 😉 FYIO: I have come to Thailand for decades, do not speak much of the lingo but tried from the start, etc etc I am sure you may get accepted, respected and treated as a part of the community if you act like a part of the community. Everybody who still picks on the "you will be an ATM forever" thing may have got one of those wrong: 1 Maybe you measure people, yourself or everything by the means of money and think the whole world is alike. 2 You actually got the wrong people around you. Did you choose them to be with you? 3 It is no charity: If you live in your homecountry, do you get everything for free? Aren't the bills actually higher there? 4 Maybe deep down in your ...you enjoy being the rich one and need to proof it to yourself. Enjoy. (do not feel superior. you are not. you got that wrong. 😉 ) 5 Once the italian actor of "life is beautiful" who wasn't successful and suddenly became famous was asked about his familiy and money. He answered: when you are poor, you always think about money. If your are rich, you ONLY think about money. 6 You obviously hev not realized a lot of things that are important to Thais besides or even more than money. Look at the man in the mirror and consider any case individually. Almost always i felt welcomed.
