Question that probably been answered already.
Make a will, also list any investments in other countries, pensions, list what she has to do to access, set this up in advance. A friend told me of someone he knew in 80s, decided to end it but before he did set up a lever arch folder of all the info his wife would need, good man

Expats quit Dubai: ‘It felt plastic, not real!’
I've never been interested in Dubai, a fake place built on sand, no thanks

Poor thing, horrible time ahead

AliExpress - delivery hit and miss
I don't like using AliExpress because delivery can be dodgy, often tracking goes into a black hole when it reaches Thailand and may or may not emerge again. Happened last week, something finally arrived after a month, AliExpress wanted me to wait another 35 days for a refund. I'm going to avoid it in future and stick with Lazada and Shopee

Airconditioning in bars
I like open air for bars and coffee shops, I don't want AC, only at home when I'm trying to sleep

Why don't you just send to your thai bank account then transfer to thai gf, simpler

Lazada non-delivery (app shows delivered but was not)
Waiting in for delivery is a bit tragic, go out, live, enjoy yourself!

Renewal / New UK Passport From Thailand March 2026
One thing i found was weird with my application was when you return to collect the passport they also give you some of the passport pages copies, obscure pages though, not the ones you'd expect. Anyway when you get yours back see if you can make any sense of why they have given those particular pages back. I was initially concerned that they've kept some which could be used in identity fraud

In Praise of AN...
I agree, if we compare to another Pattaya forum that has a nice to be nice ethos, god it's boring, most interesting posters have gone from there

Has Phuket/Pattaya become the Tenerife of Asia
Lately the police have gone AWOl, rarely see them, in the daily videos they never feature, personally i think they've had enough and just avoid and deal with the fallout the following day

Too old for a Krungsri Banking App !
It should be an option the banks offer, that's the only reason banks are restricting access, they don't want to pay compensation if scammed

Ladyboy bars
LBs is a easy way for guys who are denying their gayness to try a hybrid, no doubt some move totally to men, others continue pretending they're straight. I sometimes go for a morning walk past walking st, must be 50+ LBs there, saw a young guy take one, i thought, probably couldn't tell, next day he was back picking up a 6 foot one

Do foreigners in Thailand really change or just adapt?
Interesting topic but no not gay sorry to disappoint you

Lazada non-delivery (app shows delivered but was not)
First thing you do is check for a delivery photo on tracking, that's usually check mate either way
-
Can Thailand stay an expat favourite under these new rules?
To go privately in UK it's similar to cost of private in Thailand, even government hospitals have put their prices up, a very good quality Indian hospital is cheaper than Queen Sirikit in Sattahip

Changing payment of UK state pension to Wise to a Thai bank possibly.
Pretty shoddy security if they change bank accounts just over the phone

Online 90 day report after change of passport - Jomtien
New TM30 wasn't required for me to do the online report, at Jomtien. Existing TM30 was fine

Thai Wise or Not Worth it?
No need for Wise QR payments if you have thai bank apps, i have three. Seems best to have a non thai address

Lazada non-delivery (app shows delivered but was not)
Have you checked the photo? usually it's on the tracking
