    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.

    That's BS.

    All my pals used a local agent for extensions, no big fees like Thailand. I've been there about 10x and never had a VISA, always liked to stay In Barretto, on Baloy Long beach. Plenty of houses, apartments, guesthouses to rent, lots of places to eat, German, English, Australian, Mexican. Clean beaches and clear water.

    At 30-40bht/gm it's cheaper to buy than to grow myself. Not sure about any environmental impact, I used sun and lamps powered by solar = ZERO impact. And I can't see how growing weed is any more harmful to the environment than growing tomatoes! I seriously doubt there will be any significant changes to the cannabis law in Thailand.

    Don't think you need to worry much about a 'new king', at 57 her pickings will be slim.

    I've no idea what landlords do ......... but there's nothing to stop a foreigner renting. There's no problem getting extensions of stay in PI, but after 3 years you need to leave for at least 1 night.

    You just turn up and can stay for 3 years, extensions cost around $30/month. After your 2nd extension they provide an ID card that allows you to open a bank account. No problems renting.

    That's because she makes him hand over his unopened wage packet every payday.

    They assume you live with your wife, so she needs to show where she's living.

    Yeah you have, you just didn't see it. Looks like one of those spam network messages we all dismiss without reading.

    Day of expiry you get a notification on your phone in Thai, "top up your credit by 1,890bht before midnight to get another year". And that's what you do, no options to choose, if the money is there they just take it.

    Copy of your wife's entry in mom's house book is all that's required.

    I'd reccomend the local pharmacy and a course of Cipro 500, about 100-200bht.

    Find me a person who claims they're Gods chosen and you aren't, and I'll find you 10 people who don't like them. Doesn't matter what religion.

    You're clearly over 70 years old!

    IMHO the site is getting a lot better with it's 'crowd control'. If you think it's rude here, you ought to try logging into a few of the lesser Thai expat sites.

    Probably the clearest I've seen it at this time of year.

    Happy pizza! Mushroom and tinned mackerel + 4gm cannabis. Almost everything delivered from Makro, 9" frozen pizza base, tinned tomato paste, tinned mackerel, frozen shredded mozzarella, fat mushrooms. (wanted bacon an mushroom but ran out of bacon, but too lazy to go out)

    So much hate .............. Young person loses or runs out of money, could have happened to anyone.
  20. BritManToo
    Don't see the problem.

    Went from just under 100kg to just over 70kg in the past 10 years.

    You only need Lao in the boonies, in civilization everyone speaks English. Went to the vet today, she speaks English. Went to my physiotherapist yesterday, she speaks English. My wife, son, stepdaughter speak English. Why the need to speak Thai?

    Amazing, never noticed that button on my keyboard before, and it works. But what about when I'm using my phone or tablet?
  24. BritManToo
    Agree, sounds like a loan shark killing and not a domestic killing.
