Quite right indeed

The celtic fans latest view on royalty comes to mind

And sell it

Seems a regular occurance foreigners going crazy through use of legal drugs in Thailand recently . The landlord could try sending a invoice for the broken fixtures to Anutin .

Thailand is cheap compared to the west and will continue to be for many years IMHO . I agree with the comment on the photo . Bad choice . Need 100 k of what ? If you mean US dollars very few foreigners living in Thailand would have that much money available . A place to retreat would be ideal ,but i do not believe there would be many that have that luxury . I am not sure of the percentage of foreigners with health insurance . I would say about the same number of foreigners living in Thailand with 100 k in the bank and a place to retreat . I have patience for all people that do not interfere with my life . If a person chooses to live here with no insurance , no money in the bank , no escape plan then that is up to them

Good luck

Gold price is looking expensive and the US dollar is looking undervalued. That's my guess .

Problem with a minimum wage many employees think that's all they need to pay. Just a small percentage are paid a minimum wage in most countries.

Just say the Brazilian coast as they have no western coast . Norway is a country with around 5 million people providing clean air for most due to the low industrial level of the country .

Cheap skate pensionists living of the back of the low cost of living here in Thailand would be packing there bags to sponge of some other under developed country . Not a problem

The Uk is not bad for quality of air where i was raised in the south west of London . Mainly due to the constant changing of the weather i think . I lived in Australia for many years and remember mostly Sydney for the bad air waiting for a thiunder storm to clear the air . Best place i lived in for air quality was Norway on the north west coast . I lived there 28 years and i am sure my lungs have had less damage as a result . Now i live in Thailand and the air quality perhaps the worst i have experianced . Most of the year acceptable yet for a few months unacceptable . I wash the bad air down with chang and so far so good . Quality of life is more important than longevity .

Breaking in is for horses and running in is for an engine . Best to not use all the rpm available for the first 2000 km

What you explain makes sense . Thank you for the explanation.

The top jobs go to the well off . Thank you for your reply

I spoke with a us citizen and a UK citizen at the driving test centre in Chiang Mai and they informed me that they were forced to take the complete driving test even though they could produce a current driving licence from there country .

I have read that Thailand has the worst pensions in southeast Asia and considering they have the second best economy in the region does not give confidence now or after the election for any improvement. I hope the young woman you mentioned has found gainful employment.

Thai immigration will tell you of the consequences of you crossing the border , yet they will not stop you . Been there and done that

You will be refused entry at Mai Sai if you have had two land border entries this year . The immigration officers will inform you on the way out if you will meet problems coming back which gives you a chance to make alternative choices . From the information you have given your best way out is to apply for a two month tourist visa at the Thai Consulate in Vientiani . You will need financial proof of funds .

The Thai expert appears as credible as a Thai autopsy

When children are involved there needs to be contracts to secure there welfare . When there are no children I see no need for contracts . Basic civil arrangement to split up any assets that they have accumulated together . Assets made before the relationship should remain in there ownership.

Yes

Maybe you could be adopted by the family and try living on 600 baht plus handouts .

It has for the 600 baht a month pensionists

The time has already arrived

Yes, I saw that . Most are not .
