Dual passports.What's so difficult to understand ?

I think a major problem with a lot of thai politicians is that they are afraid of change. They seem to be so scared that PT will do a better job than they did (tried), that they'll go to any length to stop them winning. 

To be honest it's difficult to see any type of fair election happening. Ultimately the man in the palace is going to have his opinion and that'll be that.

Are there any pharmacies in Hua Hin selling sidegra? 

Just looking around and I've discovered that you can buy routers that have a sim card slot.Something like that combined with a thunder sim card might just be worth looking into.

I could then connect my Chromecast with Google TV to it and play my IPTV through it. Not sure if it would work, but worth trying I think.

Some SIM packages can supply that, location dependent, but if you want terrestrial, you can get a ‘no contract’ deal wherein you buy the modem.

Something like that would be interesting, but it still has the monthly fees which I'm trying to avoid. I don't want to be spending money on the internet if we won't be here to use it.

I'm aware of the 12 month sim but I was thinking more in the line of a hard line package . I used to use a sim, but streaming tv from the EU uses a lot of bandwidth so I just got a modem installed. 

Is there such thing as an Internet provider that let's you only activate your package when you're in the country? I'll be coming and going between Europe and Thailand and I'd like to have Internet when I arrive and just enable / disable as I come and go. 

Just find it a waste of money paying for Internet /TV for my house when I'm not here.

Nothing more to say really

And what about late international flights?

Taxis to and from the airport will be fine.

Yes, sure, you think the curfew doesn't apply to taxis?

The army have said that taxi's are allowed bring tourists to the airport.

And so the Thai political cycle continues.When are they ever going to learn ? .How many coups has there been over the last few decades ?.What have they achieved after each coup ?.The sooner the thai politicians grow up the better.Enough of all this kindergarden politics.

All you people pointing the finger of blame need to wake up.It doesn't matter who's to blame.One party is as guilty as the next one.They're all big children who can't accept a beating.All bad losers.It's such a shame that you have a beautiful country with wonderful folk but it's all been ruined over and over by the never ending political circus.Doesn't matter who's in charge,they're all corrupt and it's the ordinary thai people who are suffering.

I found myself in the same boat last year.My other half had been living in europe for most of her adult life,and decided it was time to go home.I was loving the idea about living in Thailand and she was looking forward to living with her family and friends again.Well to cut a long story short,we didn't last a year in Thailand.She couldn't handle all the unorganized chaos.A lot of the problems we had have already been mentioned in this thread.I could of easily stayed there,but I could see that she wasn't happy.I was livid at first when she said she wanted to go back to europe,because we gave up everything to move to Thailand,but it wasn't worth the hassle of having an unhappy woman around the house so we moved back.She's happy now but says she'll only go back to live in Thailand when it becomes a "civilized land" (her words not mine) .

Did Nok Air just get lucky here....or was it something else.What are the odds of somebody sitting in your seat when there are over 100 empty seats on the aircraft. ?

Sons Of Anarchy,The Following,Love/Hate,Revolution,The Blacklist....

If you want UK TV then why not use Filmon ?.It's free

Heard from my in-laws who live down the road from the venue that the protest wasn't against the singer,but against all the "yellow shirt " TV stars and personalities who were planning to attend.

Don't shoot the messenger

...or just use the wonderful, and free, "Hola" add on to Chrome or Firefox browsers. you then get full access to BBC iPlayer and also the American providers "Hulu" and "Netflix" - although Hulu has tons of annoying adverts; Netflix has no adverts but requires a $7.99/month subscription.

Hola rocks!

Hola doesn't have BBC anymore.

I flew with them yesterday to AMS and was 5 KG's over my limit and nothing said.I also had a small suitcase and a laptop for carry-on baggage and didn't have any problems.

I'll never understand people who make big moves without trying it out first.

I'd been here plenty of times before I came here to live.I knew what to expect.Just hasn't turned out as we expected.She's been struggling to adapt.Everything that she used to know 25 years ago has all changed.She's totally lost here,and with her being lost it doesn't help me to adapt.

Visiting isn't the same as moving. Selling everything before actually living here for a longer period is ... obviously not the best move.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing .We didn't have an option of keeping everything in europe on hold.Couldn't get 6 months leave from work and wouldn't of been able to afford two houses.Seemed like a good idea at the time.All I can say is that we've tried it,and it didn't go the way we wanted. You live and you learn

Seen a pick up once with a Sala (thai gazebo) on the back

Must be the same one..

The one I saw was much bigger than that.It was one of the more expensive,flashy ones.

I am not sure this is a Thai woman issue so much as a woman issue-best of luck in your decision making processes-damned if you do and damned if you dont...

Maybe this would explain why there's so many gay men in LOS ?

p.s. just re-read your post. Mission accomplished = transfer of capital from you to her family. Not that hard to understand Thai women.

It's not like that.I'll still have financial control,but her two muppet brothers will have to do the work.Their idea of quality,and my idea of quality are moons apart and that's what worries me.
