    You're probably not suited to teaching if you find it this hard.

    My cycling pal is a retired Thai teacher, he gets 50kbht/month pension. After 30 years teaching English, he can't speak a word!

    One that doesn't try to talk to me when I'm out and about!

    Thai food ain't that great, been here 14 years and hardly ever eat Thai food. Yesterday, German buffet brunch, day before I made pizza, today will be gammon steak and chips ........... Chiang Mai is a great place for buying foreign food, and what you an't get locally you can order from Lazada. I'm with Queen Victoria 'make the whole world Britain'!

    Disagree, Even Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Johnny Depp, Brad Pit and Paul McCartney can't keep one happy. So what chance do us normal guys have?

    Back in the UK I did 5hr teaching and 45mins home room per day. Lesson prep almost nothing, admin almost nothing. No competent teacher wasted 2hrs lesson prep on a 1hr lesson.

    15hrs a week doesn't seem that demanding to me, and I assume she does the snack bar to extort a bit more from the kids.

    60% of Thais don't speak Thai as their first language, Thailand doesn't have a homogeneous population.

    Me too for 14 years, but I've not 'invested' my future in her, and she's essentially instantly replaceable by another one younger and prettier. Don't get me wrong, I love her, but I could love a different one (if required). 33% of the OP pals leaving where "Thai girl done me wrong", never base your life around trusting one woman.

    If your dream (and finances) is based around one single Thai lady, it's more likely to become a nightmare.

    It's ok for us old folk that don't do much of anything anymore. .... As is Chiang Mai .......

    How about a Vessel 'pod', they have some of these at a lake near MaeJo golf ourse. https://www.vesseluk.co.uk/product/vessel-s5/

    How about our right to not be told what to do by hypocrites?

    Cooking, cleaning, sex and a bit of laundry.

    Same spread, different location. Nick's photos are of their preCovid place (when it was 190bht).

    I have a KM2+ and it works well. Don't know about 'delux'.

    I've made around 20 mail order purchases and never seen this. The worst I could complain about is small buds in a couple of orders.
  18. BritManToo
    Mine is always 90-100 over 60-70.

    Au Der auf is pretty good for 230bht. But I usually end up with a plate of boiled ham and crusty bread rolls.
  20. BritManToo
    Nah, as usual she had the knife and got cut swinging at him.

    Apparently 'Winnie the Pooh' T-shirts/pants are for cleaning the toilets in China ....... not sure why. I thought Thai clothing was all made in Cambodia.

    I wouldn't consider any woman less than 200% better looking than me!

    More to do with ignorance and dishonesty IMHO. All the seeds I've ever purchased in Thailand weren't as claimed. The Thais also tend to copy names of well known foreign strains and claim that's what they're selling. As for growing your own ....... not worthwhile when @ca08 are selling for 30-40bht/gm.

    Maybe you're confusing them by asking for a VISA, A VISA is permission to enter a country, once in the country you get 2 month extensions of stay. My pals used the agents in the main road of Barretto.

    10kbht got me repaired for 5 broken ribs, broken clavicle, collapsed lung, various cuts and bruises, and now a month of physiotherapy. Still got 20kbht left in credit from my government minimum m/c insurance. I was wearing a decent helmet though. Better off spending the money on helmet, gloves and protective clothing IMHO.
