Little village life is great if you have a few farangs to clear your thought and get the right info needed as locals don't want to lose face so the answers are generally don't know just in case their wrong. To hard basket is 90 % of the questions one asks. Search, search and search again, then life will be a lot easier.

Good on you, lucky man!

 

Every edible thing I grow, is taken ( stolen?) by my neighbors and relatives, usually just before it is ripe! 

 

How do you do it?

 

Guard dogs?

 

Electric fences?

 

Good on you!

 

I am more than just a little jealous!

Good neighbours I suppose.

Although my landlady,has first choice on the mangoes.

Her tree,so thats fair enough.

Haha. Same here. I stocked 2 dams with 2000 fish, within two days, because I wasn't using the fish. , my lovely neighbors were trying to net them until bil caught them. Now it's a 45 cal they need to watch for as he practices once a week on the land to ensure they hear it. Lol.

Delivery to Nong Han?

Been away for a year now, coming back to nong Han in 6 weeks. What's changed? Haha. Pmsl. An eye opener coming for my mate who's coming for the first time, ahh, village life.

I'll be there in 6 weeks. 4 hot jam dohnuts please.

You just never know what you will find at the market. Just wish i had a camera intead of my phone.

Very curious regarding the price. Can anyone help in the near future and post on here please. Have cheque ready.

Sorry but you are going to get screwed.

The moment your house is built and paid for, you will no longer be welcome in this wonderful Isaan village.

Sorry but this is the sad truth .

This is just fact,drive to Udon Thani and Khon Kaen and you will see,in every village,a "Farang Mansion"!You will also see no sign of any Farang and quite often be invited back to view the "Farang Mansion" by the new owner.

Here's a tip,she's no Farang!

Absolute crap. I live in the middle and 90% have farangs in them. Mine is in the 10% range as it was a gift to the family, practice house, holiday house for the near future until I build on the farm upon permanent arrival.

Transman is right..you just don't get it..not easy..just being practical..there is some much nonsense here it really is hard to fathom for some with so little experience and skills and in continuous denial..

The op is in denial, he is being given bad advice..

Good Day Ozybear.

I've read every post on this thread.

My situation isn't a million miles from yours.

All the best.

(Still trying to think of a funny comment about the electrician's wife and the 7 inch android.)

How about the wedding was terrible but the reception was great!....

Like that joke?

Sounds like the script for a Castlemaine XXXX commercial to me. But probably best to check with the OP.[/quote

VB thank you very much, even thought I am a Queenslander

Some communities are made of up mostly scamming criminal "trash", and the elders and authorities most of all, such activities literally built the place.

You're living in the right part of Thailand believe me.

Struck gold with the wife, the family, except 1 bro, not bad from 11, and most of all the village and I do appreciate more after reading some of the posts from not so lucky farangs.

Karma.

I brought my iPhone 4S from aus and was told due to the Optus operating system on it , it could not be unlocked and used in thai as it was locked to the country I bought it from, many are not but in aus. No good for me.

I think the difference with me is I met my wife in au after she had done a lot of world travelling before she introduced me to issaan and the family. I had never been o/a before and I know that I struck gold immediately. No bar girl , just an ethical hard working women that realises the importance of the dollar more than I did. I do now.
Gold gold gold. Many years together and it only gets better.
Thank you mummzy inlaw, you did a great job.

ozybear what the eff is your IQ , Thank you mummzy inlaw, you did a great job.

Yes, difficult issue, I agree it is valid to confirm that a newbie poster is aware of pitfalls, but it's difficult to do that without appearing to assume he's a sucker.

The other factor is that the initial "honeymoon period" is just so wonderful, as long as a guy's not plowing his life savings into his Nakhon Nowhere adventure I hate to see it spoiled by us planting seeds of suspicion where perhaps none are warranted.

Off course there is the off chance the OP may actually be a genuine, generous, happy, naturally likeable bloke, who has a Buddha given gift for getting along with people. A trait not lost on Thais.. and one that would possibly make him more of a target of an unscrupulous fellow farang in the LOS, than a thai.

As for Immigration and Integration? This is an Australian (link below), now a cultural, classic movie from the 60s when Post War immigration from Europe was still in full swing and the White Australia Policy still current. A great snapshot of Australia in the 60's. And a statement on immigration.

They should make 23 million copies of it and mail it to every household in Australia.

Oh you take all the fun out of it. Stupid farang is all there is go say here.

I think as a general rule its not a good idea to judge one own's integration into Thai society on the basis of relationships with the BiB.
