If advising a middle class friend from the UK (who had not been to Thailand before but was looking at retirement locations) I would suggest that they start with Hua Hin. His reaction to a month there would dictate where (if anywhere) he should go next.

It won’t happen. If you think it will, then you know little about the Thai mentality. The mask has become their amulet.

Ask the bookkeeper/organiser, their records are usually immaculate. GF’s mother 200k, GF’s father 150k, GF’s 2 year old son 80k. A profit was made on both parents after insurance and pink envelopes, I made up the 30k shortfall on the lad. The number of days laying in rest is one of the biggest factors - with any given number of monks coming 3 times a day. To the OP. - It is not your responsibility to calculate the cost - get the family to tell YOU what the costs will be. Comments on here will act as a benchmark for whether you are being ripped off or not.

Does that bother you?……………my search for a virgin in Thailand will continue but, after 16 years, I am beginning to lose all hope of finding one. After than it is just a numbers game…2 or 3 a day, week, month, year? A second hand dart board is just as useful whether it has 1,000 pricks in it, or 2,000 pricks.

The plan fails at the first hurdle. You will be stamped in for 30 days. - 45 day visa exempt does not start until 1 October.

Presumably, Martin Fry of ABC did not attend grammar school. - the lyrics to “The look of love” just would not have scanned so well …….. Sisters and brothers(That's the look, that's the look)Should help each other(That's the look, that's the look)Heavens above(That's the look, that's the look)Hip hip hooray aye(That's the look, that's the look)Yippie aiy yippee yaye(That's the look, that's the look)Be lucky in loveLook of love

Sexist…….and it’s 9 letters longer. I identify as a sibling rather any gender specific label ………

Now there is a man who turns to the last page of a book to check for a happy ending………..very similar to Bob’s outcome, I would imagine.

I think you missed the point - or at least the point that I picked up…… Those multiple doorways require the person, with those options, to have the wit to make appropriate choices. Such a person would not pass through “ALL those open doorways “. Just one new doorway with a surge of money, and no wit, can be a doorway too many. There are many more things that I could do because I have the wherewithal to do so. I don’t; I take time to choose which, if any, open doorway. If I am fundamentally happy/content with my life, why would I want to make so many changes?

???? I have added you to my relatively short list of ASEAN NOW members who I might like to go and have a drink with ????. Not because you happened to agree with me, but because you evidence a broadened mind in your posts.

Thank you. Unfortunately, I am not getting that message - I did read about swiping down on a YouTube video. It might be a dodgy cable so I may try a new one. The local phone told my missus that I should transfer by using the small SD card.

Jesus! You will be advocating an increase in bar fines next! If you want to improve their lot, give them a 15 Baht tip.

Now Google the instructions for the V23 5 G…..BOOM! As stated above mine is a V21…….I gave instructions for that in a leading the horse to water kind of way.

Apologies to the OP for going off at a tangent, but I am struggling with transferring data/photos from my VIVO1933 v.11 (aka VIVO V19) to my computer. Not sure if the issue is with my PC or the cable but the computer I’d not seeing the device.

Go into Settings…..System management…….About phone…. BOOM! No disrespect but that really is basic stuff; if you couldn’t find that on your own, changing resolutions could be a challenge.

3,461 Baht per tourist should be close enough. Sounds more plausible.

There was a “pre-opening”on 4th September.

Triangle bar seemed to be full of freelancers last time I went in. I am not sure that I liked the change in dynamic.

I have no problem being a sucker occasionally. That is my real world ????

No. No such thing as a 90 day multiple entry visa. 12 month multiple entry visas are issued in Savannaket but most other places will issue single entry visas Perhaps your friend could post a picture of his visa.

I can almost smell the envy.

Or, Plan A, they would be too lazy to put that amount of effort in.

A friend is planning for his daughters to visit relatives in the UK next year. They will be 17 and 14 at the time of travel. I understand that an airline MAY require a parental letter of consent, but are there any other considerations from Immigration, for example. I also imagine that they will exit/enter Thailand on their Thai passports and enter/exit the UK on their British passports.

So, you never look in your rear view mirror? Side mirrors?
