So where do you buy your cheeses and wines?   LOL

Wine Spain price x 10 UK Price X4.

Cheese hardly available and more expensive 

I came for the girls girls girls 

Oops I meant the clean beach 

The equality in treatment 

Temples 

I still like it for 2 main reasons you can do what you want be who you want and No one cares!

I wish I had never gone for the temples and clean beaches.

Never been burnt in Thailand by anyone 

Just see it for what it is

Ridiculous.....

Another quality farang. 

 

"common  sense" what are you talking about?  Out of free will you choose to live here yet you make zero effort to understand or respect anything here, and wrongly label your own ignorance about another culture as "they donthave common sense" and "stupid ban".

 

Facts are Thailand , just like China, has managed the covid crisis excellent and thanks to their "common sense" like "politicians making decisions based on science" (sounds like common sense to me!!) and citizens who use their common sense and follow up on medical advice like wearing  a mask, YOU sir, are now BENEFITTING from this Thai common sense and living in a chaotic-free almost covid free country. YOUR OWN COUNTRY most likely is still reeling and gasping from the covid crisis bc it LACKS COMMON SENSE.

 

maybe it is you, and not the Thais, who lack "common sense".

Not really 

Just didn't do extensive testing 

Removed the blanket FREE testing on mass being done in the ???????? USA

Made it too expensive for the average Simcha to get.

Just hidden statistics. 

Back to the basement 

Rationalization at its best!

I live in the USA but i feel it is much similar to your situation  I will share....

I married my Thai wife (year 1996) and soon immigrated HER son at age 12. Y.O to the USA..... My wife gained US citizenship and since her son was not yet 18 years old he gained citizenship with her.....

Even though He became a USA citizen when she did..... By Thai law when he reached age (I forget 18 or 19) he had to register for Thai Military Conscription (and if he was out of Thailand but returned at any point later HE COULD BE POSSIBLY BE CONSCRIPTED AUTOMATICALLY)......

Since my wife had family who were involved with the Thai government.... my wife contacted her family relative to talk with local ARMY officials...... and ultimetely paid a 'graft'' amount of 10.000 or 20,000 (I forget) to some head man locally of the Military  to make our son's record appear as if he had been 'present and not selected' In the routine testing.... thereby The son was 'EXEMPIED from military duty..... For the rest of his life and could return to Thailand anytime in the futu????re without concern.....

Yes.... Paying the 'grafters'................ BUT..... Money well spent..... since TIT (This Is Thailand)

Sometimes when people help you in this way if is best not to post it on a public forum. Just my two pence worth.

Especially one as popular as this one which is a rich source of information for Thai officials???? ????

Jeez that is a surprise !!!

Of course they were positive it fits the narrative. 

So did the papayas they were carrying

They are clueless.  The street food is and always was a major  attraction

I chose Thailand because of the lack of rules, lack of nanny state and control factor.

I have news for them: once Thailand has the same bs as our home countries and becomes as expensive or more expensive than these western countries for what is still a developing 3rd world country it is no longer attractive. Hot sticky with little infrastructure equal to Austria Spain USA etc

For me it is there already. I will  keep the millions of baht I have invested in my wife's name in Thailand.  However I turned off the money tap to Thailand 1 year ago and will not be turning it back on any time soon If ever.

I know they neither need me nor care. But the people around me who used to benefit multiplied several times has a huge "Pascal's traingle" effect.

I will still travel and vacation once  the nonsense comes to an end.

Meanwhile in banongnowhere oops sorry does not happen!

Where I live 80% of people who have a job  get 300 to 400 baht a day. 

You can charge what you like. Getting students is the hard part.

Go to the Embassy web site: they explain the process in detail.  The last time I looked, they had posted they were not accepting visa application at this time.

Correct. Both non Immigrant and Immigrant visa services are currently suspended. 

He can file a petition to a lock box or online. But then everything will grind to a halt 

2% to 5%

He's charged with DUI so hardly surprising.  

 

If he killed your mother by his reckless behaviour then I'd imagine you wouldn't be so forgiving either?

I was referring to their comments about me. When I said such kind forgiving posters on here. 

Not the drunk driver! Lol

I'll save you the bother.

He's been charged with drunken driving and reckless driving after hitting a motorbike whilst on his motorbike causing injury. He's still in prison as the police are waiting for a criminal background check from Bangkok.

Seems clear. Drunk and not enough money to pay 'instant fine' or bail = end up in jail.  Wait for court appearance. 

Ok I missed the link to the article . My bad. 

Such kind forgiving posters on here.....

He should have fond as @LivinginKata said fixed it with money!

Bought 3 plots of land no lawyers. No Chanotes as with most land in the boonies in Nakhon nowhere.

First in 2000 cheaper than a weekend  bender in Europe.

Second Slightly more expensive but still cheap.

Third expensive but still OK.

Total > 30 Rai

No Chanotes

No lawyers

Only owners villagage elders and the Puyai Bahn (village head).

Very relaxed as the sums involved were relatively small. Not so sure now. 

20 years happy carefree and trouble free living. May try and replicate the "Good life" series before retirement just for fun.

I would do it all again in a heart beat at those prices. Not so sure now with the prices I see people paying as both land and houses can be cheaper in both Spain and the US.

Happily did it in my wife's  name as "security" for her and my kids when I'm no longer around.

SUMMARY NOT NEEDED.

Good luck!

Tell your wife to make her own Tabien Bahn. Move your kids onto the new one then register your new born on your wife's new separate house book.

Remember it us just a registered address it has nothing to do with house or land ownership. 

Good luck!
