Describing yourself as a Functioning Alcoholic when drinking 30 cans of beer a day sounds like a true statement.

Drinking 30 cans of beer a day would be like having a full time job, not much time left for other things.

OP what were you thinking when you agreed to move into their family home ? Even if it belongs to your GF the family are living there. You should have just stood in a pond full of leeches. Move out and rent your own house, it will be cheaper in the long run.

Also that dog of yours seems to have been the source of half your problems. Did it previously belong to the family before you took it over ?

The OP was forced to have his head in one of the Katoeys tits for 2 minutes. Really, he could not break free from such a hold. Maybe the Katoeys thought the gold necklace was fair payment.

No problems for a delivery to a Post Office Box in the US, if the item is too larger they put a notice card in the box telling the receiver to collect from the counter.

"One flew over the cuckoos nest" take him straight to the rubber room.

Who cares what someone else spends his money on. If he is happy with it Ok its his money.

Marko, I think you need to buy the FIL a new motorcycle so as he can get out and about a little, NO thinking about it again you just need to throw the old bastard out and tell him never to come back. Problem solved.

Could have been worse, it could have been a beer spilled instead of tea.

How many Thais can you fit in a house ?

As many as you want, SO LONG AS IT IS NOT MY HOUSE.

This is what bags are for, to keep your belongings together and to help prevent them from being damaged. If the bag itself is important then you need another bag for it, some airports offer that shrink wrap service.

"As a Christian youth"

This could be the start of your problem.

They may say this, but they don't mean it. It's just a TEST.

If you had a solution to this question you would make enough money just selling the answer.

Farmers and growers here have no water management's clue in their body, for them, water is abundant

and should be free to use and grow 3 crops of rice a year and sell it to the government for a profit,

here there is no tomorrow, there is only today, will cross that bridge with no water when we get to it...

If you can figure out how to educate those clueless people and restore water supply to all year around

they will make a god out of you here and build a statues in your honor...

Issan would start to look like Easter Island.

Without the Wife / Mother of this girl becoming strongly involved in her future I don't see any positive result. What does your wife have to say about this ? is she just as concerned as you or an "up to her" attitude. I see the biggest problem being the Thai B/F and the possibility of her becoming pregnant.

All you can do is continue to motivate her and provide options... Good luck, hope it all works out.

This "Brother" problem you have is very strange.

"Unfriendly / Grabbed me by the arm / Put me in a car and took me somewhere / Giving tips around the house / etc." ???

Sounds like a take charge kind of guy and not a typical brother-in-law guest at your house.

And now you want to "have a word". <deleted> I think its time to show him the door and tell him to hit the road.

There is more to this than what you even know.

Why did it take you 4 year to end it ? I am sure this situation / life style started much earlier on.

Some guys just need a good slap on the side of the head from time to time. Good thing there was someone to do it.

Who would have thought..... Food Court - Table Reservation Etiquette would be such a big concern. There are just so many thing I have to learn.

Sounds like he has a drink problem.....the problem being he can't get enough of the stuff.

It sounds more like he gets as much as he wants. So the OP as others have said is most likely paying for his supply.

OP you are very lucky he is not inviting his friends over to join him.

This could explain why there are so many vet bills to be paid for Buffalos. This aside it would have been nice to watch.

What's the problem ? He just adds a bit of character to the place.

This is the problem when you go into business with a partner, nearly always there will be a conflict in how the business should be run.

What is the agreement with your friend, is he an equal partner or did he just assume this on his own. As you put all the money in he has nothing to lose therefore he should have no say in what you want to sell. It would appear that he is getting a free ride, you really need to take control of the business yourself.

Hope it all works out for you, good luck.
