All women lie! I tend not to listen to them much. As for boasting on sex conquests, men divide by 5, women multiply by 10.

If you're gonna let people choose their sex, then you should allow them an unrestricted choice. The wokes want to pick and choose!

I think too many people are easily offended these days, live and let live, it's not the end of the world!

I think they tell everyone it's legal, but tourists have no legal place to smoke, so what do you expect them to do?

Think that's a lady boy.

They knock on our door every year to collect our 300bht. They point at the bin, show me a receipt, no Thai required.

Most western men average less that 5 in their lifetime. That would have been about it for me too, were it not for Thailand/Philippines/Cambodia/Vietnam.

It's 10.6 partners a week.

Seems bigger than I thought, compared to my 60" LG just behind it.

Never had a problem getting stuff like that done.

No need to converse with Thais at all, they have nothing to say that I have an interest in hearing. Simple commerce can be done using photos on my smart phone. As for my partner, everything a woman says is to manipulate and extort money. Best not to be too chatty with them.

Central Thai is a worthless language only spoken by 40% of the Thai population as a 1st language. My family all speak English, if I wanted to speak another language (in addition to English French and Spanish) it'd probably be Chinese.

Have most of my house with WiFi switches and no neutral, just capacitor across LED in ceiling. No buzzes, no problems. Don't know about dimming as I have none. https://s.lazada.co.th/s.nRG63

My $60 glasses have progressive lens and titanium frames. After 12-18 months I just order again and chuck the old ones. You aren't getting the answers you wanted because nobody is daft enough to purchase from Thai opticians more than once.

All women are bad 'serious relationship prospects'. Women were genetically designed for 'short-time'.

I've not found 'decent Thai women' to be any different to bar girls. Women naturally steal, cheat, lie, betray and manipulate. Your pal needs to learn they're all interchangeable, and when you lose your turn with one, just move onto another one. That's what's great about Thailand, no months long wait between losing one and finding another, you can be in bed with the next one that same evening.

I'm currently drinking frozen daiquiri. 1.5 Oz Hong Thong, 2 squeezed limes, 3-4 teaspoons sugar, 8-10 ice cubes and blend into a slush. So what are you guys mixing?

2 accounts, one for daily spending, one for immigration. I don't even bother updating the immigration bank book, just pay 100bht for a 6 month statement for immigration every year.

A hooker named Anal Toys .............. that can't be her real name!

Same with my Samsung, 13 months and power supply blew 2kbht, 18 months later, power supply blew, not worth fixing, in the bin. And my Samsung Air-con 5 years broke then binned. And my Samsung fridge, 6 years and broke. I also now avoid all Samsung products.

What's your rush? I'm retired, plenty of time, standing in line in air-con isn't the worst thing in the world.

8000+bht from local shops Vs $60 delivered from China. Up to you!

Tax code = 12500 - state pension.

State pension up from 10k5 to 11k4 so your tax code will be down by 900 pounds.

That's a good start. Next sever all communications with her, just walk away. You can still enjoy your retirement without her, plenty of nice places to choose from as a single man. Nice houses to be rented in Chiang Mai from 10kbht/month or wherever you choose to live. You don't need her and her bad choices dragging you down, the world is there for you to claim as your own. Good luck! Look forward to your retirement in 4 months.
