I might be mistaken but I think he has problems with his kettle, not his old fella...

Ceramic is safer than Teflon.... Apparently!

There is only a small percentage of Thais that are interested in foreigners. Basically the ones who choose to travel and then work in the places where foreigners tend to gather. The wolves follow the sheep... The majority have zero interest in us because they have way more interesting things to occupy themselves. We are completely irrelevant within their lives.

Attached is the current requirements from Bangkok's immigration office. However, your local immigration office may do things a little differently... For example, I transferred my extension stamps to my new British passport earlier this year at the Chiang Mai office. But I didn't need a certificate from the embassy and the application form was completely different from the Bangkok one.

Perhaps you are one of those people who is determined to find fault with everything, no matter what.

He has a built up shoe for the shorter leg?

It's the nursing of the hangover that causes people to be lazy the following morning.

I'm always trying to relive my youth. The problem is I no longer get asked to prove my age when I buy some booze... In fairness, I'm still exactly the same person I was then only my hair is a little greyer.

They much prefer to buy meat from the local markets because the thousands flies crawling over it apparently adds extra flavor.

Get a dog. They are notoriously not fond of postmen and enjoy chasing them down the street.

Incredibly lucky that no one was killed. But having a firework factory in what appears to be a residential area doesn't seem to be the greatest idea.

My wife. My grandson. My ageing toy poodle. Thai food....mostly. The fact that Thais don't really need an excuse for a party. Karaoke.....Oh wait, what I'm I saying!!!

I don't actually hate anything. However, I do dislike the following... The appalling standard of driving on the roads. How so few people are big enough to accept the blame for their mistakes. Thai interpretations of western food. Pizza is a classic example. Lao Khao, of any bootleg alcohol that is responsible for so many meaningless deaths every year. Thai soap operas.

Civil war pending.

I've still got one stapled in my passport. I haven't been outside of Thailand since 2016.

Brilliant! That's exactly what I needed to know. Thanks a lot. ????

I'm just about to start getting everything together to renew my marriage extension and it's suddenly dawned on me that my new, two month old passport only has about 5 pages that need to be photocopied. The transfer stamps, main ID page, 90 day, arrival card and TM 30. Now as we know, immigration love lots and lots of photocopies! So, can someone kindly confirm whether or not I need to photocopy all the pages in my old passport for this extension? Logically I shouldn't have to..... For the record, I will be renewing in Chiang Mai. Thanks in advance.

Perhaps you should cut her some slack. In her world, men are ignorant and naive and their sole purpose is to pay for everything. If they didn't do that she and all her little minions would be out of a job.

Who decides? On paper, the millions of Thai citizens. In reality, the privileged senators. It makes the whole election process a complete farce.

Why does Thailand even bother to have elections? A complete waste of time for all those who turn up to vote. I doubt that a true people's government will ever become a reality here.

Has it occurred to anyone that the two girls might just be guy's bodyguards?

Homepro or Global House?

With an attitude like that, please, please, please don't ever have a serious relationship with anything that even remotely resembles another human being.

As you helped the guy today, I'm willing to bet that if there is a next time you're not going to just sit there and watch someone choke to death. There are plenty of people out there who would be eternally grateful that you have saved their life.

Could you not insist that she applies for a license first?
