42 years we met in San Francisco. Retired to Thailand 13 years ago. Love it.

Yes. We have that problem often when we are in Hua Hin. But the bank says that the atm machines often run out of money. So now we do a monthly withdrawal from a teller instead the bank.

Not for long.

Our country is destroyed. And in only 6 months. Amazing. I will never return.

You speak for me.

Not for me. I have a Thai wife. Who wants to worry about ICE.

I totally agree with you.

Most cars and trucks are going way to fast they couldn’t stop even it they wanted too. A scary thing happens in Thailand the normal easy going person turns into a Maniac once behind the wheel of a vehicle, they drive as fast as they can, run lights, run over people legally crossing the street on a light, and they will slam into your car if you dare stop at a red light. They never let you cross the street in your car to get into your condo driveway and they will flash there lights just to let you know they are not going to stop for you. And then you have the same idiots in the parking lot off your neighborhood mall who can’t stop to let you walk even though they must stop to get a parking tickets, they will run you over. I have kicked and dented the doors of cars that tried to run me over, one women chased me into the Mall, screaming in Thai and another guy wanted to fight me he was about 4 feet 6 inches am 5’ 10” I know some martial arts from the US never had to use any, this guy I just picked up and threw him on top of his car, he left soon after. People just don’t have any consideration for each other. Seems like they are all angry all the time but are not allowed to show it. Terrible communication skills.

She is living in the wrong country then. Most Thais are Thai Chinese even if they say they’re not. And the Cambodians, Burmese are working in Thailand in the hotels, restaurants, malls, stores, everywhere. If you can’t bear to be around them, you should leave.

Thank God not all Expats are these kind of people. I’ve been here 13 years from the US with my Thai wife who I met in California we been married 42 years and still adore each other. I have never been in a bar in Thailand, I have a 5 year drivers license and I mostly follow the laws, I try my best to fit in, my Thai is about 50% but I can get around on my own, I respect the Thai Traditions, we don’t do the temples but we volunteer and make a lot of donations to help the poor and the children of Thailand, we always tip when we eat out or travel. I do my best not to get upset about over everyday problems, I have learned to just let it go. Am always polite. There is so many different kinds of food available in Thailand you could never complain of not having a certain kind of food. Lay low with the politics. Respect the police and Military, they are there to help not cause harm. These people you are talking about don’t live in my neighborhood.

Many people like Spain & Portugal, but unless you live in the big cities you will need to learn Spanish. There’s Australia, New Zealand but they are not cheap. I have heard parts of Italy are nice. I have been in Thailand for 13 years also from California where I would never be able to afford and the wife wouldn’t feel safe. I’m always looking for a back door too. Patrick

Icould like to tell you about 2 restaurants that serve American food and are very reasonable. The Salad factory has a nice selection of American food, steaks, lamb, chicken, fish, many different salads, etc. The Sizzler has great meat dishes with bake potatoes or rice and an open salad bar, and finally for really cheap under 6.00 dollars you can pig out on huge portions of food at Eat and I restaurants. And there are. Many burger, ribs, and steak places throughout Bangkok. Good Eating.

Hang Him.

If they rode the scooter safely they would be no problems. But they ride like maniacs, no helmets only a mask which won’t save you. They take no responsibility they make the cars accept the responsibility to keep them alive. They deserve there destiny.

15 years old is old enough to die.
