    moving to thailand now or later

    thanks for all the replys. sure is food for thought . my wife already has a small business plan and without too much of a set up cost. and it s a pretty good idea, small but could pay the billls etc. like i said in first post i d always put off the idea of living in thailand once i had kids , but now ive got an inner urge to give it a go and it wont go away. we are not coming to thailand to get rich just live a simple , happy life in a nice house in a nice enviroment. chumphon . or i just forget about it and let the urge go away and be sensible and safe

    Dear Boris,

    I would like to disagree with some of advice that fellow members from Thai visa stated. First is that Thai international school cost 200,000 per kid.

    That is false, you can check at any web site , for example Dara academy.or contact them via email, you have many choices.

    Also community schools are not that bad.

    Universities, depending if they are private or state can be from 50 000 to 700,000 THB per year, depending on program, location and status.

    Its true that you cannot work for Thai company as carpenter, but that doesnt mean you cannot own 49% of firm that is doing carpenters jobs, anyway you are young, which is pretty positive, since you can easy find part time jobs in Australia or New Zealand, Its 6h of flight from Thailand, but you can safe more money, while your children and wife is at thailand, Carpentry jobs are on priority list for skilled immigration. if your wife doesnt have problem with you going abroad to work, I think its much clever than staying in UK,

    About building a house, I suggest you to choose location that is in cheaper part of thailand, unless your wife job is related to tourism, then you should choose more "attractive" location.

    You have many options, money are solid that you have, but If you are really skilled and good, plus you are young, dont hesitate to combine living in thailand with working in australia,

    Even if a foreigner owns a buisiness, he cannot work for the company without a WP, this also depend on what kind of job you apply like management is ok but you must strictly keep to it, you cannot for example be a clerk or driver even if these employees are absent all these kind of jobs are reserved for the Thai.

    "Besides you can get married to a thai have kids, buy property and stay here 100 years, you will still be a foreigner and do your visa just like a tourist, if you are caught washing your car, do your lawn or do some volontary work you can be deported for working without work permit."

    Crock of total . More Fearmongering at its best from some disgruntled sexpat who got overcharged for last nights onenighter.

    There are 1000's of people who have assimilated here and live very good lives and are treated equally and fairly.

    If you are married, have a decent business, you will not do a visa like a tourist. There are 1000's of people who have extended their visa for decades. You can wash your own car, etc. Show me a link to a Thai newspaper that shows any deportation for said offenses. The only time anyone is actually deported is when they commit a crime and usually only felonies not misdemeanors.

    There is a limit where you should be considered as being part of the population not like when for example you divorce, you have to leave the country immediately. This open the door to many abuses.

    Thailand is not the right place for anyone to move at this time.

    It's getting harder for foreigners to stay here.

    It's very hard for most foreigners to earn money here (legally).

    The Junta is getting more repressive.

    Inflation is runaway.

    I can't imagine anyone would want to move here now.

    I wish I hadn't (and I'm not a foreigner).

    Besides you can get married to a thai have kids, buy property and stay here 100 years, you will still be a foreigner and do your visa just like a tourist, if you are caught washing your car, do your lawn or do some volontary work you can be deported for working without work permit.

    How to get rid of a Thai lady who has overstayed her welcome?

    You have to laugh at all the self-righteous folk on here. I bet they all came to Thailand to see the temples and never thought about the opportunities for easy sex. The guy just fancied a bit on the side like most blokes do. He'll get out of it , just tell her to sod off and if the long termer complains get shut of her too. In Thailand it's best to just use the women for sex and don't fall for the ridiculous thought these women actually love you. They love your money and security it brings them , nothing else and if you believe different then you're just another self deluded mug.

    Is that judged off all the women you met in bars or just some of them?

    No , i actually mean all of them. It simply isn't possible to have what the average Western man would perceive as love with a Thai woman. They are from a different culture with totally different thoughts to a Western man. They don't have your education , your logic or anything else that's been your way of life in the Western world. Basically you have absolutely nothing in common with these women. You can't freely speak with them about anything that you'd take for granted that everybody knew. How many guys gasp in disbelief how stupid they can be. Try asking what happened to JFK , who was Hitler. , who's Elvis ... Excuse me tilac but just show me France on that Atlas ... Get my drift !!!
     
    Now , i'm assuming a very large part of " love " involves deep meaningful conversations , an understanding of each other , a shared joke , a passion for the same things etc etc. You can't have any of this with any Thai woman no matter if she,s a whore or a bank clerk.
     
    Well , after taking that out of the equation what's left apart from sexual attraction and that's what it's all about in the first place. Most guys i've met over the last 12 years all seem to have one thing in common. They all appear to have much racier younger models on their arm than what i'd normally see them with back in the West. Nothing wrong with that at all. Why run about with a fat old trout when you can have a much younger beauty who loves you too much.
     
    The ironic thing is , many guys delude themselves into thinking their women love them for who they are and not what they have. Sad really but if their happy that's great.
     
    Just use them for sex and you'll save yourself a million problems.

    Agree with this one,just have a comfort level with mine...period

    Very good and realistic comments, is this going to be served as a guide for others?
    Further i have read with lot of emotion how a westerner's married to a Thai wife they have a son. All living since 11 years in Thailand, he is still a foreigner staying on a visa and have to report each 90 days.

    How do you like being called "farang"

    in General Topics

    Posted

    I have been in Thailand for a long time and I recently became tired of being called farang. Is there a nice word for people different from you? If there is, then they are few. There are many more that are belittling and I believe farang is one of them.

    Several times I have walked down a residential street and a toddler barely able to walk shouts, farang, farang! It's like after they learn the words mommy and daddy then farang is next. (Maybe I have that in reverse)

    I am beginning to feel like a monkey in a cage and the Thais can shout obscenities and throw food at their enjoyment.

    Today, I went to my corner store to grab a couple beers and a grandmother with two very small children were sitting at the entrance. Immediately, one of the children starting shouting farang, farang while the grandmother laughed. I had a glass of wine previous to approaching the store and with little restraint I mocked back saying farang, farang! Just an impulse but I was surprised at the reaction. The grandmother acted like I insulted her! .

    Anyway, I felt better on the walk home and enjoyed my beer.

    Its better than to be called 'Guava'

    Hua Hin Immigration clarifies rules on foreigners carrying ID

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Posted

    Im asking myself how is it possible to carry a passport everyday, its more like a little book not of the size of a card. Imagine that between the choice of paying a 2k baht fine and the risk of losing your passport and cannot show it when requested. The other risk is when there is heavy rain ; a passport is not waterproof. Thai authorities should seriously think of issuing a photo ID card for expats (of a different color to those of Thais) which expiry should be according to their length of stay. It will be then easy to differentiate between tourist and expats living in thailand.

    Immigration: Foreigners must now carry valid ID at all times, report within 24 hours

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Posted

    Carrying a photo ID is ok provided our country ID card is accepted. but for the original passport its quite risky !
    Regarding the reports for change of address this is an extra burden putting on visitors immigration authority after having been so tolerant is going too fast now. Every body knows that most tourists move from one place to another during their trip in Thailand so if they will have to report each time their place of residence, all their time will be spent at immigration.

    Why do Farangs love to Hate Thailand ?

    in General Topics

    Maybe its best explained the same way that a lot of men behave - mental abuse dished out by their partner on a regular basis but they will not leave because they "love" their partner.

    What about the Thai lady who is getting assaulted on the street by her lover...someone interferes to help her and she wants to then start fighting the good Samaritan and declines to press charges on her partner.

    Same mentality. Some people honestly enjoy / accept abuse. I can't explain it.

    Another theory is that (true in my case) is that in order to feed my addiction to random, beautiful girls who will sleep with me, I am forced to live in a country that requires me to interact with some pretty low class people. I would much rather stay in my own country if I had the same access to young, beautiful girls available in Thailand.

    Take the girls out of Thailand and you would see a huge drop in tourism.

    Another way to look at it is why do so many foreigners choose to live in Thailand when Malaysia has so much more to offer (without the girls)? Why don't they choose to live there instead?

    Its true ! The more ye love the more ye bark and get stuck with
