You don't have to, it's entirely up to you. -
Do you ùse an Air Fryer ? Did you know ?

I prefer Aro brand 10mm straight. Just had bacon and chips for lunch with my kid. -

It's because there wasn't much demand for potatoes in Asia 10 years back, so imported and expensive. Now its more popular the economies of scale come into effect, and they grow locally. -
Vinyl over Ceramic Tiles?

I think it will dry and crack in the heat. Which wouldn't be a problem in Scandinavia. -
Best to rent! And never anywhere where the PEA/MEA don't provide the bills. 2nd choice, Turn off export, or buy an off grid Hybrid inverter that doesn't feed back into the grid.

Local Amphur office. In CM they come right round in a pickup and remove the dogs forever.

Tour bus driver flees scene after crash in Thailand, 1 dead, 40 injured
BritManToo replied to snoop1130's topic in Isaan News
Running away is to avoid positive drug testing. So completely worthwhile. -
I only gave them a 6 month statement. But they want your entire bank book (mostly empty as I don't bother to update it except on VISA extension day).

Hardly any women in the world live on their own resources. My mother didn't, and I'll bet your mother didn't either. -
40-60-80 tobacco cigarettes a day may cause health problems. 1/2 a joint a day, not so much, probably less damage than living in Thailand.

BritManToo replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
The Thai bargirls I've encountered seem to be doing rather better ......... 1st one I lived with owns 2 houses and her own bar in CM (no education, husband retired English policeman) 2nd one I lived with owns a small resort (degree in marketing, Dutch husband) One I currently live with owns a house in CM, rice farm in Petchabun, half a forest in Nan and a pension of 20kbht/month if she sticks with me (high school education, dropped out of university after 2 years) None of them appear to be lacking in education or prospects. Did you finish high school? A couple of my Oz pals can't even read or write. -

She came free (age 11) with a woman I employed to share my bed. Woman moved on, the kid stayed. -
Exploring the cost of living for retirees in Thailand
BritManToo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
Seems to me lots of people who purchased health insurance end up the same way. So might as well save the insurance premiums. Did you ask @simon43 how his health insurance worked out? -

If I could buy a home on it then yes. My daughter earns 20k/month and can easily get a mortgage and buy a house with that. -

It's mainly Americans obsessed by health insurance. People from other countries usually don't bother. -

Back home it was cold and wet so my house was the only place I could sit all day. Here it's warm and sunny and I can spend all day outside, so I no longer need a big house. -
What's life like for a single older expat in isaan?
BritManToo replied to georgegeorgia's topic in Isaan
I doubt it would be possible for many men to stay single in Thailand. Once they find out you were single they would hunt you down. Resistance is useless! -
