I don't see my wife as a servant, I can cook my own (and my son's) food.

How many times did you bang her in the past week. (None of your business =0) My Brit wife shared my bed for 30 years, but would only have sex 1x a month or less. Like I said most of the 'i never pay for sex' crew have little on no sex.

How many times have you had free sex with a woman in the past week? (None of your business = none) One of the problems with the 'i never pay for sex' crew is their failure to mention they have little or no sex, so are basically dishonest men.

Paid for mine last Friday morning, they gave me a receipt detailing the 200bht charges. CM immigration have recently streamlined their operation so retirement and marriage extensions are no longer mixed in with the general scrum. You get a numbered ticket the moment you enter the COVID gate. Walked in Friday after lunch, was out with my under consideration stamp in an hour. They said I was their 2nd family extension for the whole day. Hardly any retirement extensions either. Loads of ed visa extensions waiting, odd as I thought those were all gone now.

MIne does! Most hybrid inverters switch seamlessly between grid and battery and solar panels. You can also set them to use grid, and only switch to battery if the grid fails. Mine is set to work as a full house UPS. I've only had one power outrage in the past year, when my kid shorted live to neutral. Whole system depowered until I hit the 'reset' switch.

It was to match your 100 "woe is me, we are all doomed" posts. Most of this thread is you trashing 'deniers', but you never actually say why it matters if other people believe or deny.

Sounds like misinformation to me, COVID vaccine is harmless!

Most of us are 'Don't carers', why deny or worry over something I can't change?

From the story, woman driver didn't get out, the man who escaped was in the front passenger seat. I know you want to blame the man, but I can't see how it could have been his fault.

What resources have run out?

BKB, 100bht for statement, 100bht for letter (with photocopy). Printed while you wait,

Russel Brand!

Easier said than done, In Petchabun, on our family rice farm, you sell to the middleman or your farmhouse burns down.

Obviously you're very 'hansum', young, witty and have a great body and personality. But for us normal blokes, fat, old, bald and boring the choice is between a woman with financial needs and no woman at all.

I spend less than 50kbht/month, the rest of my pension just sits accumulating in my UK bank account. Without the wife and my son, I'd be spending less than 30kbht/month. As @spidermike007 says, having a Thai lady costs lots, but it's not as if I'd spend it on anything else.

Swimming pool is in the next Soi, 40bht to use. I prefer cycling to tennis or gym, 25Km 2x a week to the local lake. Dogs are not allowed on our estate, my wife runs the housing committee, and has any dogs roaming removed by the Amphur next day. No crime in the past 10 years. I've very content living here, quiet, rural, plenty of shops and a market within 200m. Swimming pool. HuayJo Lake. Housing estate park

You are a freeloader that expects sex for free ...............

Just follow 'Pattaya LK Metro Bars' on FB to find the 50bht beers.

Wherever you live, the village idiot is always happy!

I had a pal in PI that was a bit old and infirm, near the end of his 3 years he went to PI immigration and said he was a bit scared of the flight out and in, they said, 'no problem sir, we'll just mark your passport as too ill to travel and you can stay another 3 years without leaving' Can't get more reasonable and helpful than that. I used to go to PI every 3 months (non-o multi bounces), and the pretty young airport immigration lady said, "you come here very often sir, but only for a week, you should stay longer and get to know the country and people more'. I got the impression, she would have been happy to show me around, her phone number was definitely available. Nice people in PI, they seem to like foreigners much more than Thai people, and immigration staff were always extremely pleasant, always smiles, never the Thai scowls.

You need to show proof of 400kbht in the bank now. 6 month bank statement + immigration bank letter

I've not been scammed/cheated since 2012, and that was the Brit guy that ran CM Expats club.

I remember it was exactly the same in CM 2010, they arrived mob handed (6 of them) for my first marriage extension, and 'raided' all the foreigners around me at the same time for not reporting their addresses.

How can it be illegal or corrupt when immigration tell you it's their preferred way to do business?

Depends if you're broke or not. I have no desire nor need to earn interest nor make any more money.
