Why isn't there a transgender version?

Or a Black version

Or disabled.

Or vegan.

Or *insert relative minority group*

Clearly, this is all discrimination!

who goes out in Bangkok with 3.6m of valuables on them  !!  ????

There's probably quite a few tvf members who do....

Or pretend they do.

I've always found BKK bank here in Udon to be good.

However, about 4 weeks ago, I (we) went in to get the document, affirming that the 400k was good to show immigration.

My wife explained what I needed, clerk went to the little room there, & after 10 minutes, she came out with the required letter, but addressed to the British Embassy.

When my wife queried this, they said it ok, & were very reluctant to change it.

I was fed up, & without being aggressive, told them firmly that I wanted it changed. They did so.

Just lazy.

He wasn't recommending it, only advising that it was available.

I was teasing him, because he made a similar comment to me.

Probably not for everyone, you must remember that.

People keep commenting on the fact that the Queen is unelected.  Does anyone know of anywhere where royalty is elected???!!!

Andrew has a lot of elections, if you mean that...?

I have no clue why people enjoy getting stoned.

Sit around like a zombie unproductive and useless.

Says alot about a person I guess.

Probably because they don't have a young wife same you, to keep them occupied/vibrant/stimulated...

I've offered my services all over, but I'm assuming you don't qualify, unless you are a fit 20-something Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese or Eastern European woman. 

 

Are you such a person?

Ooh...Fex.... services, that does sound naughty!

Be careful though, you know what happened to that Einstein bloke in a us jail - big friend of Andy, didn't end well.

Do the banks, cc companies etc, pursue debt as vigorously as in the UK, for example?

Anyway, Farang really do need to toughen up and learn to treat people as potential threats where necessary. 

 

Ignorance is bliss only until it's too late. 

 

Don't become a victim because you don't understand the enemy.

No. Quit repeatedly over a six month period. Stop for a few weeks to a month. Felt better in a few days. Started again with new gear after a few weeks to a month after discarding the previous stuff. Not cheap.
Went through this cycle 4 times or so. Within a few weeks was out of breath,again. It's been 6 weeks or more, no problems.

What negative effects did you experience from vaping?

Were you short of breath, when you smoked cigarettes?

No, gives a bad taste. But WD40 keeps my guitar strings rust-free.

Don't put any on your banjo string though....

OP forget it. Just do not retire in Thailand. They do not want us here for the foreseeable future. Google "srrv philippines" or "malaysia M2H" and you'll see what neighboring countries do to attract retirees. There is absolutely nothing of the sort here in Thailand.

Just don't waste your hard earned retirement time and money in this xenophobic dump.

Yea, yea, the 'grass is always greener'.

Don't even live here, do you.

Khun Pockets is in the lead with his excellent post.

My experiences at government hospitals for my wife & I have very good.

Yup, there are some rubbish doctors, just the same as anywhere else.

My mother had a stroke a few years ago, the Paramedic thought she'd hurt her leg - she had no feeling.

In A&E, she was not seen by a doctor for four hours.

The doctor, realising it was a stroke, apologised to my sister, but by then the damage was done. She didn't survive. This was in the UK.

As for Thailand being 6th in the world, I doubt it.

In 11 months you studied 100 hours.

That's really not much.

I agree. I think its clear what has washed up here in Thailand. Many of these online personalities appear like they were not well socialized, could not meet women in their home country or struggle to have a meaningful relationship. 

 

 

Yes, one just has to walk around Centen to see some of the misfits.

Then they come on tvf, & post such tripe at times, argue with conviction, that I find myself questioning their mental health.

Thank gawd I'm normal.......

The above picture makes me wonder...who lived there, was it a happy family with children running around?

Where are they all now?

An ankle bracelet on arrival!  That failing, a dog collar and leash controlled by an army general!

Fantastic idea, then the dog collar could be activated remotely to deliver a shock, whenever 'the dirty foreigners' misbehave.

Still, some of the more progressive amongst us might enjoy it.....
