Betting on the wrong chicken or bull. An honest mistake.

They make it very easy for Thai men to get Thai citizenship for foreign wives.  No profession or job in Thailand required for the women and the Thai husbands only to show they received income of 180,000 baht from any source the year before.  Foreign men to have a job in Thailand earning 80,000 a month for 3 years or 40,000, if married to a Thai.  Now it is proven that foreign women get Thai citizenship this way for criminal purposes and divorce the Thai hubby, they might want to look at cancelling the gender discrimination and make foreign men and women apply on the same basis.

Ha ha. That’s funny. 

My money for retirement purpose is in the SCB. I have the SCB Easy app which I use for paying bills all the time. My wife knows my password, so she could transfer the money any time. 

Damn! Now what am I going to do with my 40 million baht?

I thought only farangs get conned in thailand,,,,

I think getting ripped off is part of the job. I drove taxi for a few years in Canada and got scammed a few times. A Chinese driver I knew was robbed at knife point 3 times in 2 years. 

New seatbelt law? I got a 200bt ticket 3 years ago. Watching songthaews going past with schoolchildren hanging on to the back while the police wrote out the ticket. 
 I guess my life is more important than a bunch of school kids. 

Bullying is normal in Thailand. 

 He better be careful. 4 more times he’ll lose his license. 

From what I've seen the birds fly around to the back of the temple and go back in a cage.

The rural area where I live they use tame birds in a cage to call in wild ones. Those ones are imprisoned for the rest of their lives. What's the penalty for that I wonder?

Go into a bar used by Farangs and ask the waitresses. Those ladies generally speak at least some English and know everything that's going on.

I wouldn't.

What you will basically have is an instant skin tax on the house, after the bargirl goes to the owner and says a customer is looking for a house.

My cheapskate wife won't give me any money. (Although she does buy me food sometimes.)

I don't care about his bare chest. I do think, however, he should have been fined for that profoundly stupid hairstyle and looking like a seedy scumbag. How does one get a hairstyle like that? I mean, other than never going near a brush, a comb, or soap and water, how does one go about achieving the look of a dirtbag? More profoundly, why would anyone choose that look? A very happy day in Laos was when the cops went to Vang Vieng and plowed down all the bars along the river. Far too many seedy folks were coming to Laos to party there and the government had enough of their type. I agreed completely. Party's over scum. Go home, cut your hair and clean yourselves up. Please note, I'm a 60's child and grew up with long hair a la Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple etc. So my issue is not the length of his hair, it's the fact that he looks like a drug addicted homeless Rastafarian.

So when did you change from a 60s child to a judgemental old fuddy duddy?

haha I think he changed when his hair all fell out !!! What was good for him is not good for others now, and many drug addicted people around back then in the 60's, when Deep Purple were singing, purple rain.. and looks don't say shit about a person anyway.. pretty pathetic..

Don't fink Deep Purple sang Purple Rain........

Maybe you are right,, but someone sang it back about then,, I never understood it as I was a bit younger, but someone told me it was about drugs..

You're thinking of purple haze, aren't you?

Jimi Hendrix

I just planted 20 Teak trees around the perimeter of our land that our district provided for free. I'm looking forward to seeing them mature. (Only about 90 more years.)

Apparently some Russians have a sense of humor. Who knew?

As we know the letter "R" in English is hard for Thais to pronounce

Are there any Thai words that start with the "R" sound ?

Or how would you explain to them how to pronounce "R"

Is there a list of useful "R" words that would be good practice

Thanks for your ideas

OHHH .....I know it is not easy as I have a problem with the Spanish long rolling "R"[/quote

Can you say 100 in Thai?

Maple syrup, underwear and a big smile.

I realize that people who spend 6 months here and 6 months there like to say that they "Have the best of both worlds" but, to me, it means that they don't don't have enough going on to fill up the entire year in either.

i love canada in the summer and hate it in the winter. I certainly have enough going on.

I think that when you grow up in a 1 or 2 room home with many people you learn to sleep through most everything. Then maybe you don't realize that everyone is not the same.
