The living coasts are not high at all. They are at sea level.

Thanks...I needed that laugh...I doubt that the OP knows why I am laughing....

Why don't they ever feature a grumpy fat old expat that has been taken to the cleaners by a 20 something year old Thai...?

Naw...man...stick around and help support the Thai economy...be used and abused...be a glutton for punishment...many ex-pats seem to thrive on abuse...

I feel your pain bro...my gf's 8 year old would come down stairs...from playing the gaming computer I had given him...and use the one toilet that he knew that I was the only one to use...and piss all over the seat...he was so proud of himself showing that farang how he felt about him buggering his mother...

Got tired of her going away to stay with her mom...and her Thai "brother" would bring her home in his nice truck....um..hum...

Told her I had to return to the US for some medical procedure concerning my heart...gave her a fist full of baht and said goodbye...

One of the better decision I have made lately...

Good Luck!

Dang...the Thais are rolling up their red carpet and showing the ED visa people they mean business...Land of Smiles...This is Thailand...

Shame, shame, shame on you...shaman...maybe you can practice your craft in prison...

I find the way the Chinese handle themselves to be most interesting...they are of course...the mother land of the Thais...may explain "Thainess"...

Suspended sentence...banned from politics for the rest of her life...which is what the ruling party wants out of this anyway...just go away and be quiet...

They knew they were not playing by the rules...now they have been caught...time to pay the consequences...

OK but thats not what the lawyer here said... I honestly have no idea.

There is a very good chance...the lawyer doesn't either...

Same ole story the world over...political power and influence means big bucks for the corrupt and greedy...

The GOP is standing up for the rights of unborn children...who can not defend themselves from this inhumane death of convenience...women's rights...a woman made her choice when she had unprotected sex and got pregnant...why should her own flesh and blood have to die for her error in judgment?

Yes...I know...I am now ready to receive my punishment for being so cruel and not understanding of woman...right!

Please do keep us informed of your continuing saga of the joys and thrills of working and living in Thailand...Good Luck!

Then, the passenger, despite being warned repeatedly not to move, stepped out of the Jaguar, his hands raised about shoulder level.

It is hard for us to imagine why the officer felt it necessary to shoot an unarmed man with his hands in the air...but then again...we need to walk a mile in his shoes...see what he sees everyday...and know what he knows...to get the rest of the story...

Mr. Suriya admitted that some crooked karaoke bars still existed due to the help of bribe-taking authorities.

Oh...No...tell me it is not so...now how are the Thai apologist going to spin this? This IS Thailand...

It is my understand that Barnum and Baily Circus will be organizing the gala contrived event...

It is quite common among Thais and ex-pats...to toot your own horn...toot...toot...

Country awaits vote with bated breath!

Have they eaten Som Tom?

Your brain has finally woke up and is asking your heart...what the hell are doing...causing your nervous system to go bonkers...thus the jitters...

You absolutely do not have to be married to have a wonderful relationship with a Thai...marriage will likely reduce your financial holdings considerably...and if you should run low on funds...do not expect you unemotional bride to stay with you...

Be honest with her...tell her you are not ready to take the plunge...now or ever...(you may want to hold off on the ever part)

You can still take care of her financial needs without being married...

Good Luck!

GOLD . sounds the ticket, i might have to do some homework here. which online site is best and secure ? cheers,

I am not promoting or endorsing any of these sites...however...their is a wealth of useful information to be had by perusing their info...(helpful hint...look for free shipping and a low rate for storage...as a start)

This is a random order and not prioritized: This should get you started...don't be afraid to follow some of the links suggested by these sites:

kingworldnews.com

Kitco.com (they have a free app that allows you to see the price of precious metals on your laptop or smart phone in real-time)

caseyresearch.com/gsd

hiddensecretsofmoney.com/

goldseek.com

JMbullion.com

Gata.org (This site has scores of links you could take a look at)

Please understand that most all investments are essentially gambling...Gold's high so far was almost $2,000 per ounce...and the low was $1,140 per once just as recently as last Oct...this is a strategic long term investment...a hedge against inflation and the devaluation of fiat currency (paper money printed with no real value other than the perceived value given it by governments to the naïve public)...

There is ample proof that governments manipulate the price of gold as they are afraid that if not manipulated and left free to follow the real gold market...it would go much higher than it is today and crush their near worthless paper money and economies...

Good Luck Friend....(If you have any more questions...contact me by personal message on this site)...by the way...I am retired and have no financial interest in any transactions you may consider when buying your precious metals...

What is it about " polycentric fundamental world order " that you do not understand?

Two females are imprisoned and put on trial for writing on Twitter in support of women driving. Such heinous crimes can not go unpunished!

The Saudi "crackdown"...cracks me up!

Just to bring things into "sovereign country" prospective...there are Muslim countries where you can be killed for just disagreeing with their methods...

Well...he was not going to loose face to that other Thai...so instead he lost his life...This is the Thailand mystique...die with honor...
