I'm not so sure this is so much of a Thai gynocentric issue..., my feelings are it may be more of a world wide gynocentric issue.

Indeed. Women think they know everything the world over.

Very true

It doesn't help that we have being blowing smoke up their (you know what) to get what we want, (you know what;) ) Just think of some of the lines you used when you were dating, and try using them with a straight face around your mates.

Their attitude is in a big part our fault. We have created a monster, In my case a very very cute monster and I love it.

.

I concur I have noticed this opinionated feature in my g/f as well. When she gives advice on medical issues I usually say "Thank you doctor" I find it one of her funny features and now at my advanced age I rather enjoy it. 50 years ago not so much. I guess its tolerance as we age. This is a good thread as I thought I was the only one with a g/f with this feature.

"Thank you doctor"

HaHaHa , that's funny,

same here, when my wife get's bossy and try to tell me how to do something I say to her in my best southern accent (which is not very good) "Yas MamBoss, please don't hit poor me " and we both burst out laughing, then she gives me a fake slap. Or when in the car I call her Mis GPS cause she is always trying to tel l me how to drive or Misdirections 'cause her directions are always wrong.

But you are right, perhaps it has to do with getting a little older, and perhaps being confident enough in your self not to get bothered by it, and to see the humor in it.

Very funny posts here. Like the GPS reference. My wife tells me everything she sees on the road; look the truck turns, look the bus stops; look the motorbike might turn etc.

I usually just grumble an "I see" .....

We have a good lough about it and carry on.

Getting older is getting wiser. No need to seriously argue about our idiosyncrasies.

cloves, bay leaf, corriander seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg, black pepper.

Could also add some star anise.

and probably juniper

Just a thought, most good gin contains a lot of these. Suggest a good drop of Bombay Sapphire to enhance the flavour.

Just in progress of changing true ADSL to fiber 30. Cost about 100 baht more. What speeds can I expect in Bangkok?

the numbers showing on a thermostat, especially the old dial thermostat are largely arbitrary.

there is also the possibility that the unit is under powered for the room or season, or both.

Plus the air conditioning does not adequately measure the temperature across the room....

Correction to my earlier post

Major op 1million Baht

Try transplants or severe cancer...

I would recommend the app named HERE. It is free, and works offline. Uses Nokia maps, I think.

I supplement external drives with an internal one. Got myself a bay in the desktop that allows hot swapping of regular drives. Use WD black caviar. Very reliable and keep it backed up with external disks.

Essentially all data is in two places.

As I see it you have three choices:

1) Subscribe to a cloud storage and upload/ download as planned. $$$

2) Use free Cloud storage or indeed large file email, You may need to split your data into smaller packages, use multiple accounts etc.

3) Buy an external drive (1TB= 2,000 Baht) use that. You either keep it afterwards or sell for 50%.....

Given the money and time it would take for 1) and The time and effort it would take for 2), I would opt for 3).

I helped the guy yesterday with a little donation.

Had a similar situation lately that cost us 700k and therefor feel for them.

Anyway, just included a note wishing him well , followed by a line suggesting to get insurance..

What a mistake. Now I am the bad guy. Am I too insensitive suggesting that?

Cut

All good. If you collect miles, use the one that participates in your current alliance. I often go with Qatar as part of Oneworld.

Let's see if any of this will be enforced.

Elephant products- how about the endless leather belts and wallets sold at the airport even?

Buddhist paraphernalia- how about the many Thai travelling with Amulets for safety and luck?

Caffeine- how about all the OTOP and Doi Thung coffee sold to tourists to take home?

Understand copy right infringement, Illegal ivory etc. All else just big BS. Why do e-cigarettes need a separate mention?

Just ask for 3 slices.

They are all from Asean countries. Thought by now they can easily work anywhere in Asean area?

I use Windows 10 on both laptop and desktop. No Problems at all. I am very happy. Performs better than 7, 8 or 8.1 for me.

It's not about where you live, but how you live.

As soon as you add little luxuries (I. E. Western food, private school for Kids, a maid, car, satellite TV and whatever else) you end up not being able to live on 30k.

I take it you are all not too IT savvy. Windows 10 or I OS. Would likely be the best options. Just tell her to choose a Laptop that has Win 10 installed. Runs very well.

You will find something decent for about 15-20 k with pre-installed windows.

My vote goes to Hua Hin.

Did anyone ever start a war in the name of Buddhism? Maybe that differentiates it from other religions?

Pacific Cross is something to consider.

I am the Boss in my Family. And the Mrs. gave me permission to say so....

I got in Bangkok extension of stay for 1 year with multiple re-entry. Second time now.

Required were:

Birth certificate

Mothers ID

Tambien Ban

Passport copies

Letter from Bank proving funds

6 pictures with the Kids

Requirements may vary on immigration officers discretion......

Still watching the kids...

Not living in a condo, but somewhere along the line.

The maintenance fee for our village was for years 25 baht /sqw./ month. Last year it was decided to put that to a vote. How much do you want to pay? 25, 27 or 29.

I was laughing. The question should have been, how much does is cost to provide security, gardening, garbage, streetlights etc....

There was a bit of a lack of concept... suspect same is true for your condo.
