Do not get into an argument with any Thai...at all.

Interesting discusssion....without any sense.

What is right is what the Immigration officer thinks is right, or its day mood decide what is right. The Thai way.

Nothing uncommon on the Country of Gossips. Better to ignore it, and let Thais to resolve in their way.....

yea right , i want to meet your wife / gf , like to hear what she say to your golden advise v...................hahaha hahaha hahaha

She will say nothing.. She will just pass to her friends...and sometimes strangers.. what I said or did about....like most Thai women do.

I live very close to the immigration office in Chiang Rai. Sometimes I just stop by to say Hello to the officers because they are bored and sad without any people to take care. Seating in a confi seat and having a free coffee under a good AC is a plus. Only one time I spend more than 20 minutes there, and was because a very nice looking officer from Mae Sai named Oi was visiting the place...and she seated by me to practice her English.

I am married......If not...I was ready to asking her for a date. What a smile!

Interesting.

Now I understand how so many Thai couples working together, making 5000THB a month each, can live decently. In some Western countries, to have the same living, will need to spend at least 10 times more. In many countries, just the AC is a luxury.

I hope you speak Thai, not only helpful to get a teaching job countryside, also to meet and speak with the head monk in some of the big temples and meditation retreats where you can get free shelter and food, and may get some help in resolving your immigration and health problems.

In BK look for the Buddhawataram Institutute. In Chiang Mai for Monk Chat www.monkchat.net and the Doi Suthep Meditation Center, in Chiand Rai for the V.Vajiramedi Meditation Center. If you speak Thai, you even can volunteer teaching English to the monks, doing translations, etc, and light work in exchange for a better place for you to rehabilitate yourself. Good luck, and take care of your situation ASAP with faith, work, and trust.

I just got the news from official source.

Now, you can get the Green Card ( Permanent Residence ) in the US investing 500.000 US Dollars. Just more 5 years to get Citizenship.

The US Government wants to promote foreign investors to come to the US, and in my opinion it is a good moment to do it now.

Chinese are already doing it for long time. Now......with this new rule...the US will be flooded with Asians and Middle Eastern "laundry experts" and.., ..again... will be a real estate and stock market boom.

I study Tarot and Kabbalah for hobby. I do not like to use it in other people. It is very interesting, precise sometimes, and easy to learn. I do not have doubts that our lives are connected with events and energy changes in the full universe.

Only very few people do Astrology seriously, because it a very complicated task, and it is not a future telling to become rich. Most astrologers do just for hobby, because will be very expensive to customers to do it commercially. Probably some rich people are in contact with good astrologers.

I have a close friend in the US that is a professional in other area, but a serious astrologer, and I know his work. He said that doing it properly can show the most dramatic events in a person life, even reason and time of death.

He only do under written conditions and contract, and for some very particular people. He never do it for friends and family.

The ones online, or cheap, are just scammers.

Look up what Pajero means to a South American Spanish speaker.

Its name is just right.

The car is so beautiful and hot...that owners do not need partners to have fun.....

Why changes its name in South America??? Bad Marketing strategy..."Drive a Mitsubishi Pajero to feels gooooddd" ...will sell.

By the way...I still looking for an older model Montero AWD.

The Hunday Elantra made in Indonesia for 850.000

The Subaru XV ALL WD SUV made in Indonesia for 998.000 that was introduces last year for 1.350.000

The new Mazda 3 with triptonic 6 speeds auto transmission for about 1.200.000

The top of the line luxury Subaru Legacy made in Japan for 2.000.000

I love dogs, but I am fascinated by cats.

After just 4 years wearing just shorts and sandals........even not speaking the language....now my mind and soul feels in Thai. No way back...I changed.

Looks good....

1900 to the immigration office

3100 to the immigration officer

After a foreign mother married with an US citizen get a green card, she can apply for its children, and will be approved, but only when they are under 18. Older than 18, the process will take longer and not warranty of approval. If the children are married, even more complicated.

In the US I will recommend to use a visa office called Catholic Charities to apply for spouse residence, and for its children's too. Very experienced and honest people dealing with the process.

CHECK IF YOUR BIKE NEEDS TO BE INSPECTED AND FIXED.

http://www.wltx.com/story/news/local/onyourside/2015/04/21/nearly-1-million-trek-bikes-recalled-after-rider-was-paralyzed/26140403/?fb_ref=Default

This bike sells in Thailand too.

Dog training only work is the trainer will work with the dog owner at its side....to learn how to keep the dog education. If not, it is a waste of time and money. Dogs are a lot smarter than people....They learn very fast who is "really" in control.

Dogs are very good "training" people.

Yes...she did.

She tried an aviator jacket to be ready for another announcement of "Mission Accomplished"

Some people is forgetting the the PM is from the Military, and some people do not believe that China, North Korea, Russia..and the US, are in full preparation for WAR. Mr. Prayut may knows more than we think he knows about all that.

The greatest bunch of beggars are treated with immense respect and wear a sort of yellowish coat...you can see them every morning and they make a hell lot of money...and even get food for free...some even made enough to buy a plane....

Well...Directors of some philanthropic and non-profit organizations makes very good money, but at the same time makes very good work helping people in need. Looking in that way, if not most of the money goes for good causes, some do, and that it is better than nothing.

Monks and temples are in the same range.... and most of monks beggars are people choosing the temple's life and not the street's life. Temple's work is important in many ways, some more than others, but that's life...generalization is bad.

After I got a small bite from a soi dog when traveling out my town, and I had to get all the rabies shot and pay 20000thb at a Government hospital, I found out that many foreign travel agencies advice its clients to get a 2 shots preventive rabies shots to people traveling in Asia.

Taking the risk of not getting the 8 shots after any soi dog bite, is a life or dead decision.

India is the #1 country in rabies infections, and Thailand is #2, but pet sterilization and rabies vaccination still not mandatory in Thailand.

"I know every country in the world has such people but how are they treated like in Thailand? Do homeless people in western countries fare better?"

Western countries have social security. Were I come from every citizen is entitled to 1k a month, a room at the homeless shelter and 1 warm meal per day. As far as I know the Thai government does not provide social security. The mentioned food and shelter is mostly only accessible through Temples or other non-profit organizations.

Thai people ARE more compassionate towards these people but they simply don't have the logistics to help those in need.

I can tell that you are not from the US.........and you don't know about the "logistics" in Thailand.

Asus Zenphone 2 is getting the best reviews...and is priced right.

That's a wonderful idea, and is already in place in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. I do not know where you do live, but meditation centers and retreats are full of farangs interested in Buddhism, and the same for most farangs local groups and expats groups online.

Before moving here for good in 2010, I visited BK for 2 weeks, and I met the manager of a very big and well know international real estate company. My kind of business. He was from the UK. I am from the US.

Talking about training and results, because the company was not doing well in sales, he asks me to meet his sales staff of 20 people, to test them in some way, and give to him my opinion. At the end of 2 sessions, I told him that, if I was hired to do the training, I will have to start firing most of them.

I was not interested in work anyway, but I called the manager a week later.

He already renounced to his position.

If you like challenges, we prepared for a big one.

Good luck.
