Confuscious

I am not an UK national, but a Belgian national. I can show you the emails that I had with the Belgian authorities, proofing everything I said, but that would be against the rules of ASEANNOW, because they are written in Dutch. Anyhow, it would be against the law to copy the emails here. About the housing in Belgium (and I think that would be similar to the UK) do a simple search on houses/apartments for renting and you will see it for yourself. When I left Belgium and settled in thailand, I sold my house in Belgium for about 25,000 Eur. The cheapest house you can buy now starts at 250,000 Eur. Crazy but TRUE.

I am in a similar situation. I asked for a "temporarly" housing until I can find something that suits me, and the response was that my pension was higher than the minimum income and thus I needed to rent something myself. No word about the other requirements when repatriating to my own home country. I did a search on available houses/apartments and the cheapest I could find was about 750 Eur/month + common expenses. Adding the costs of electricity/gas/heating/water/etc. this would end on about 1,000 month and leave with peanuts to survive. Also, when repatriating, I would habe no car anymore and would be left on public transport for everything I would need. Public transport in my home country is a mess and calling a taxi is very expensive, which would leave me with huge problems to continue living in my country. Far behind the life style I have now in Thailand. Not easy for citizens who want to repatriate to their own country. When I see how illegal immigrants are offered a stay in a hotel for free and given 1,600 EUR pocket monet every month makes my blood boil.

Meanwhile, dozens of THAIS are infesting Face<deleted> daily with their online sales of counterfeit products (handbags, watches, sunglasses,etc.) and nothing happens. I see even Thai using pictures of the royalties for their sales. TIT

The Chinese treatment. Sell his body. Many people waiting for a transplantation.

Well, the majority of the posters here who complains here about the immigration check are married to a Thai wife or have a Thai gf.

A few weeks ago, I had the first "House Check" by Immigration in more that 20 years living in Thailand. A morning, while I was watering my plants outside, an Immigration pick-up stopped at my house. 2 Immigration officers stepped out of the vehicle and told me that they were Immigration officers and the came for inspecting my house. They presented themself as a regular immigration officer (the driver) and a chief immigration officer. I opened the gate and let them in. While talking to the immigration officer, the other one ASKED to take pictures and took pictures of my car and the house. The chief asked me where my "missus" was and I told him that I had no "missus". In my Visa extension I did wrote clearly that I lived alone. They filled a formular and explained that they had to fill this paper in for the head of immigration and asked me to sign it (it was in Thai, but I was able to read most of it). They left after a short visit, 20 minutes maybe, without asking neighbors or money. All in all, very polite and a pleasant meeting with Immigration. Guess that the neighbors thing and the money thing is only needed when you have a Thai wife.

You can buy anonymous a sim card almost everywhere in Thailand. But as long as you are not registered it, you can not use it.

How much is his body worth? Sell every body part of him while still alive and use the money to raise the child and give it a good future. Start with his inners and his eyes. Many people waiting for a transplantation.

My COMMINICATION skills??? Bwaaaaaahhhh

Aparently, you failed to read and understand my previous post. So, not worth to discuss with. Bye

I have a song in my car, which goes like this: "Nobody wants to be lonely. But if I have to be lonely, I rather be lonely alone."

I live here, in this <deleted>hole, already more that 2 decades and I have had my fair share of the <deleted>. A friend of mine, a nice guy living in the UK and working as train conductor, came on a holiday to Thailand (long ago). Off course, a visit to Pattaya was in his agenda as a "MUST" and so he went for a weekend to Pattaya. After the weekend, he came to visit me with his newly found "teerak" and announced that they would marry ASAP and leave for the UK together. MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE DEAL was that she would NEVER say that she worked in a bar. They meet at a hospital where she was working as a nurse and he went to that hospital for pain in his knee....... They are still together and live in the UK, but she never said what her true job was. Off course, she never worked in the UK and enjoy his money. A girlfriend of mine, one who I meet almost weekly, meet a few years ago an Aussie guy and they married soon after they meet. They went to Australia, but under the condition that she would tell everybody that she was working in a Foodhall in the Mall. Sadly, the Aussie passed away 2 years later and she came back to Thailand. I must agree with you on 1 point, there are a few REAL woman in Thailand who don't want money from me and are glad to help me. 2 years ago, I waked up and felt like <deleted> and though that it was my last day. I called one of my friends, Jeab (52 years), and she came with a taxi to my house (about 15 km). She saw me and called an ambulance. She went with me to the hospital and stayed at my side the whole day and night. Every morning, she came to visit me at the hospital and brought me fresh towels and all I needed. She shaved me and talked with the doctors. After 9 days, I was released from the hospital and her brother drove us to my home. I wanted to give her money for their help, but they refused the money and said they were happy to help me when I was sick. We NEVER sleep together and we continue to see each other and have a good time. So, yes, there are a few good souls here. Just like anywhere in the world. All depend on yourself.

I have more friends, male/female/genderless, then you can think off. Whenever I feel for it, I take the bait and go out with one of them. ONLY DIFFERENCE IS that after the a day out or a night out, each of us go to their own home. End of the story. That's the way to keep a friend a friend. When you start to take them home or start a relation with them, it's over before you know.

Maybe a very young mother of a very young couple who dropped the baby and could not afford the medical expenses to bring her to a hospital. Thailand has billions of baht revenue from tourists but nothing to help young mothers/parents. Sad truth

Yes, I am alone as well. But not lonely. I go every day have lunch at some mall or restaurant and have a coffee or tea. When I see the many "unhappy" faces from married people or people being together, I am happy to not be in the boat. After my coffee, when I go home in the evening and open ASEANNOW, I read all the newsflashes of people who killed each other out of jealousy or whatever and I feel great not to make part of the "happy" people. I read also the answers of the foreigners who claim to have encounter a Thai girl who has a "Doctor Honor whatever University degree" and have my daily dose of laughter. If you really believe that a Thai will take care of you for free, you should consider to visit a shrink. For me, I will quit Thai-ATM-filthyforeignscum very soon and move back to my country.

Nothing new, but the big question is "WAS HE WEARING A MASK"? He could be killed by the COVID virus.

Who allowed to build a school near a highway without any traffic solutions? I see on the 3311, the route over the mountains from Korat to Chachoengsao, many schools have been built lately. But no real thinking of the traffic department how to make them safe for the students. Just a speed limit sign of 50km/hr in a 3 lane highway. What is the highest degree from these morons at the traffic department? I remember a few years ago the solution one of them had found against speeding traffic. Make carton police officers and place them anywhere. What a complete moron.

I completely agree with you. Like I said already many times, capital punishment would be a favor to him and leave his victims in misery. The Chinese method would be far better for him. Put him in a secured jail and sell his organs to the people in need. In between, forced labor 16 hours per day and give the money to his victims. When all his organs are sold, give the rest of his body to an university and let them have fun with it.

I bet it was a foreign thief who only showers 1 time a day. Follow the bad cheese smell to catch him.

Overpasses are useless. On Mittraphap Road in Korat, between Big-c/Terminal 21, there are 2 overpasses and they are rarely used. People uses now the lift and the covered overpass at Terminal 21 out of convenience. But the other overpasses are not used. Who wants to climb a stair and walk on an overpass in the 45 degrees sunshine? Drivers need to learn to STOP for a pedestrian. Failing to stop for a pedestrian should carry high sentences. That's the only way to move forward with the Thai traffic.

Which browser do you use? Can you use it in a mobile? I haven't tested it yet, but many sites refuse to load if there is an ad-bloc active. Let's ask a moderator if this is true for this forum.
