Old Croc

I hope to live forever, I expect to die in my chosen country of Thailand.

I'm still waiting. It's probably better described as brunch in my place. Yesterday it was a boiled egg, toast and half an avocado. The day before a banana pancake and a plate of noina. Before that cornflakes, with bananas and yogurt. It varies.

Hard to tell if you are preparing for a day of ploughing the fields or a shopping trip with the other ladies.

As you are checked in to your final destination you seem to be a transit passenger and wouldn't need to be processed in and then out again. Although it sounds like you are changing airports? Are you arriving internationally and departing on the same, or a partner, airline? Your airline or travel agent should be consulted instead of a forum. They have access to your ticketing.

Obviously so old you don't remember how many times that so called joke has been trotted out on these pages. It's staler than the last time England won the world cup.

I'm surprised petty theft only occurs in Thailand and is considered such a heinous offence it requires a flying squad of officers and accompanying press to effect the arrest and get it on the front page of the papers and social forums.

Only a hypocritical Brit would find it funny.

It seems quite a reasonable assertion that the sign should principally be in the language of the country. Unless it's in Wales.

Money buys power and protection in prisons. No one will dare touch him.

"Trump flew on Epstein’s private jet at least seven times between 1993 and 1997, according to flight logs made public during various court proceedings. As the Miami Herald reported in 2021, Trump was accompanied by his then-wife Marla Maples and two of his young children on some of these flights:"

So, who's lining up to buy his crypto? All 3 of his sons have recommended it.

I seriously considered moving over the bridge a while back, but instead decided on a completely new lifestyle in Loei. The jury's still out if I made the right choice. Just sold the villa in Phuket so no returning there.

Nearly come the full circle, Simon. So, the location of Laos on the left is out of date. Hard to keep it up to date I suppose 😊 20 years anniversary this year.

Sounds good, but a bit cold for many.

Try Raja Ampat.

Good point, my ceilings are quite high.

When they consider themselves to be in danger, they will stop their attack (unwind) and attempt escape. They don't continue trying to kill prey.

I have 5 speed ceiling fans in my house. The one above me now is on the lowest setting and slow enough to just keep the air circulating. Perhaps not the price bracket you want.

We've had at least 4 pythons on our Isaan property in the last several years, a couple in the last month. (4 seen, others not but have left trails) They come after the chickens and have killed a number in their attacks. The biggest, a reticulated python, was about 13' long. The others were Burmese and varied in size, The smallest was found right outside our door. The local farmers have come across some very large specimens in jungle areas. They are scared of them and sometimes carry a gun for protection when going through those areas. They are aware they are protected but consider their numbers have become out of control and will now kill them rather than call the removal people. For those who say just slice their head off, that is not easy. They are incredibly strong, thick skinned and very hard to kill. I saw one still alive the next morning even with 2 rifle shots in its head.

They should be locked up in the very big house.

Making snide, petty one-line comments on other member's posts just displays your own lack of intellect, imagination and sense of humour. Besides, that's Lou's job.

What could they charge this guy with? It's apparently legal in Florida to carry weapons openly even when going fishing. This guy may have been having a nap or planning a game of golf. He never saw Trump, didn't get within a bull's roar of him and didn't fire a shot before some gun toting character started taking pot shots at him causing him to run away.

How about actual residency more in line with the concept of tax residency. Longer and more secure retirement and marriage visas. Do away with the demeaning home visits, idiot picture taking, banking and 3-month reporting regimes. The right to own your family home Don't deflect by stating PR is an alternative,

I'm also surprised there isn't a stand-alone sub-forum for taxation. It is a little annoying having to sift through many unrelated posts in " Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments" to get to this essential and concerning subject
