None of them were educated in the west, and Thailand only offers peasant education. Therefore my wife, daughter and son are all poorly educated. Even the wealthy Thais educated in western countries seem to prefer cheating rather than learning.

ALL Thais are uneducated peasants IMHO, I choose not to mix with any of them. If you enjoy their company it probably means you're as poorly educated as them. And hookers are for private fun, not public display (even Thais know this).

Indica 15-20%THC works best for my arthritis. Pain totally gone, joints returned to normal size, strength regained. Smoke 0.5gm just before bed and you won't feel any high. If it has 'punch' in the name it'll probably work (Tropical Punch, Critical Orange Punch). If it has 'kush' in the name it probably won't work (Lemon Kush). Sativa does nothing for me.

1. I earned so much money I didn't care. 2. I didn't care. 3. I didn't care. Life taught me .... All that's important in my life is me and what I want. Me me me me me. Lucky I have enough money to buy what I want. Sucks to be poor as you Goat, and having to worry about what other people want! Sucks even more to be worried that uneducated poor Thai peasants might think you're a loser.

Nothing to do with moving too fast. All to do with men giving up possession of their assets.

Those numbers are only for white men that never left the western world. And IMHO they're way too high. If I'd stayed in the west it would have been 5 partners, and less than 1x a month.

How much respect do you think they have for their wife?

Interestingly, most middle class Thai men I meet all have a suitable age Thai wife at home, and bang 20yo Thai hookers on the side.

I paid my Brit virgin schoolteacher wife for 30 years, and she only put out 1x a month. Thai bargirl costs much less, bangs more, and looks better naked on my bed.

You only need to complete Mattayom 3 (with certificate) age 15 to get those supermarket jobs.

High school is around 12,000bht/year, if you don't pay the 'extras' they don't accept your kid. University loans are hard to get, and then need to be repaid. Lets assume you borrowed 30k/year, outstanding loan 120kbht. Then the job you get pays 20k/month, and you would have earned 15k/month in a supermarket without a degree. How many months do you need to work to break even? 720k loss from not working 4 years + 120k debt = 840kbht loss ..... made up by 5kbht/month wage increase. So that's another 14 years to break even with someone that left after high school age 18. or another 18 years to break even with someone who left school age 15. Seems you don't have much experience of actually living in Thailand.

No, I married a farm girl then sent her to high school and on to university. Obviously if I were as broke as you, I couldn't have done that.

Don't understand your post, Bank app scans QR code, then you check the amount and payee, and can pay the amount (PIN required) or not. There are no links involved. How can this be abused or scammed in any way?

Stop the locals lighting the fires would be the obvious solution.

I have a TTB 'all free' and a TTB 'no fixed' account. If i make 5 transactions a month on the 'all free' it gives me an additional 0.5% on my 'no fixed' account. No ATM fees for using any ATM in Thailand. Debit card costs 250bht/year.

Are you sure?

Thought that was Dick Emery.

MIne started divorce proceedings and had me removed from my home. Wouldn't let me see the kids again. I just moved to Thailand without telling her, and never had contact with her or the 4 kids again. I don't really do confrontation, just slip out the back Jack.

You report the postman to the police for theft. He has clearly stolen your parcel. I see from your later post, he decide to hand it over, rather than have you persist.

Yeah, but Bob has posted many times about not being happy with her. And he also boasts about cheating on her with hookers.

Are you sure?

Any foreigner with money to spend is the right type of foreigner.

If you don't like it here ........ go home!

Why mention just here, this is a worldwide female attribute.

Not all that useful as you can retire in many Asian countries without a special retirement VISA. Take for example the expensive Philippines SRRV, why bother when you can just fly in at any age and stay for 3 years. Thailand, they only talk about the restrictive O-A VISA, and I've never encountered anyone that uses that. I would suggest expatriateconsultants only discuss VISAs where they can make money from selling/assisting you and are not to be trusted for real advice.
