Woah! Sounds very dodgy.

1. Make sure you have a Non-O, Non-B or Thailand Elite visa
2. Don't overstay your 90 days
3. Don't date a girl half your age. You're asking for trouble

How old are you and how old is she, if I may ask?

Is the house fully paid for? Maybe she wants you to contribute to her mortgage?

555 Girl wants farang to register at her house. It's simple - it improves her credit rating. Nothing good comes to the farang from this. Must be a stitch up.

I've got a big immigration problem that I need your help with (please!!!!)

My company has just laid off a load of staff (including me) and I've just got a new passport. 90 days report is coming up, I've got no job (but two job offers) and one passport is full of stamps (my old one) and my new passport is empty.

I presume that my current work permit has been cancelled.

One job can start the process for me now (if I accept it) and another would be in May.

Any thoughts?

Hi everyone,

I've just bought a new pair of Hush Puppies suede shoes, but I don't have any protector spray. Does anyone know a place in Bangkok that sells it?

Any help that you can give me would be most appreciated.

Thank you!

It is both worrying and shocking that a state official would publicly blame sexual assaults on women on the clothes they wear.

The attitude that men cannot control their sexual desires is utterly wrong, and is dangerous.

Any man who sexually assaults a woman is a scumbag. Full stop. There's never an excuse for it.

Instead of blaming female clothing for sexual assaults, more focus should be given to educating children in schools about correct behaviour and appropriate sexual conduct. Just because a certain behaviour is culturally engrained that doesn't make it right.

Without a proper national schools PSHE programme, along with media support, I see little hope of sexual assaults decreasing significantly in Thailand in the near future. However, in Bangkok I have noticed that women are becoming more empowered and are more likely (I think) to not allow such advances from men. Bangkok, however, represents a monoculture that is distinct from the rest of Thailand.

With the advent of the AEC and the growth of ASEAN's powers, one can only hope that Thailand will mature into a developed, civilised country where women feel safe.

Fingers crossed.

Hi guys,

Does anyone know who'll be showing the fight in Bangkok? Any pubs going to air the match?

This is one showdown I don't wanna miss!

The PM should reward the police by throwing them all in prison.

Rich people get away with anything here. Poor people get away with nothing. Foreigners are caught in the middle of this rift.

If you are a foreigner here, then stay sober and stay alert.

That's very encouraging Samran. Thank you.

Thank you for this link. It looks like a really complicated process!

It seems as though even good quality 'aliens' are not really welcome here.

Thanks for the advice. Both I and my wife have experience of living and working in the UK and Thailand, so if things didn't work out here, we could move back to the UK.

How do I apply for permanent residency? Where do I go?

Hi Everyone,

I'm British and 31 years old and I currently work as a teacher in one of Bangkok's International Schools. I hold the typical Non-Imm Type B Visa and my school completes the 90-day reports for me.

I'm married to a Thai and I would like to have an 'Indefinite Leave to Remain' stamp on my passport (i.e. So I don't need to go through the 90 days reporting again). Also, this would help if I suddenly found myself out of work.

Is it possible to get permission to stay in the kingdom indefinitely if one is married to a Thai national? How do I go about the process?

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I'd like to find a relatively cheap club where I can actually get some fighting experience (i.e. actually fighting someone). I don't care what the style is, but I need a club that offers a reasonable price.

I checked out the MMA Zendokai Club at Prakanong BTS, and they want THB 3300 per month and you have to pay for gradings! I currently do Shotokan with one of the best instructors in the world and it only costs me THB 2000 per month and the gradings are free!

Any help would be much appreciated!

I've thought about going to the Omroom in Chitlom for help. Have any of you guys heard of it?

I'm in Bangkok by the way.

Thank you, Never Sure. I just don't know where to turn for help.

I'm hoping that I can be put in touch with someone who can actually see/hear dead people. I have a suspicion than an ancestor might be possessing me, but I don't know for sure.

Hi everyone. Before we begin, I need to make it very clear that this is a very serious post, and not a joke or wind up.

I've been suffering from sleep paralysis ever since I came to Thailand six years ago. Recently, however, the intensity and severity of the paralysis has increased significantly.

I know what most people will say: this is a clinical condition and I should see a neurosurgeon. Well, I've done that and my brain is fine. The sleep paralysis is definitely bring caused by spirit possession. A few indicators of this are as follows:

1. The paralysis always ends with a feeling of the spirit leaving my body through my mouth or nose.

2. Once, when the spirit left my body I sensed it leaving the room and as it went it said "Go Home" in a very angry way

3. At first, I would pray during the sleep paralysis and this would disturb the possessing spirit and cause it to leave my body promptly. However, recently the possessing entity has been able to control my intellect more and my prayers are no longer as focused as before, rendering them ineffective.

4. During paralysis events I have seen and heard spirits, as well as hearing disturbing sounds such as loud knocks on the door.

5. The tipping point for me came this morning; and this has really scared me into action. During paralysis today (which was very severe), I couldn't move my arms (I was wide awake), but I could see my 'ghost arms' moving in the sunlight shining through my curtains.

I know that all of this sounds crazy; but it is really scaring the hell out of me. In Thai, sleep paralysis is called 'Pee - Am', with 'Pee' meaning 'ghost'. Thailand is the land of ghosts, and I need help getting rid of the ghost(s) that chooses to possess me like this.

Please help. This is a serious post.

Thank you!

Scum. I hope he goes to prison.

Translation: it will be nice and sunny this weekend.

I will be there. Count me in!

Hi,

Some advice:

I understand why you would want to have an English version of the contract, but over here in Thailand it isn't really common practice to do that. I think you should take the Thai contract to an official translator and pay to have it translated (it won't cost much, and I think there's an official translator in the same building as the UK visa office. If you pay them, then they will translate your contract and stamp it to say that is has been officially translated)
