Published 1955 ........... https://zlibrary-asia.se/book/25205087/af05ce Sadly written by academics and consequently almost completely incomprehensible.

Obviously Goat (you), bignok, and Bob Smith.

Actually I get annoyed when I ask my wife "do we turn left or right here". Then she asks a local and chats for 20 minutes. And at the end "so is it left or right?", and she says "sorry, I forgot to ask". PS. I can read the Thai menu and order for myself.

Not in Thailand .......... being broke is a disadvantage for sure!

Nope, I said right at the start it was a English speaking bloke. Just like I say you never got to bang a girl for free.

I don't think they had cocktails or shots back in those days.

Loose lips sink ships! Don't tell anyone who you are, where you are, what you're doing and with whom you're doing it. My 4 former kids in the UK, know I have a Thai wife, but they will never be allowed to visit us, meet her or their younger Thai brother, and I don't talk with them either.

Suspect I'll be gone by 2026!

Morality is a regional variable! So it would depend on where and whom you married. Not every culture and religion demands fidelity. In Thailand men aren't required to only bang their wife, but wives are required to only bang their husband. (The wife being the property of the husband).

Damp + no air circulation = mold.

there are no 'bona fide' asylum seekers arriving in a dinghy. Those who want them should be required to share their home with them. How many do you have space for in your home Chomper?

You are describing TEOTWAWKI, And as an elderly retiree, it doesn't much matter as the end of my world is fairly near anyway.

Low standards would be living with any woman over 50 years old.

Of course you're right!

Primary and Secondary Education in Thailand Currently a 12-year system of general education is in effect, with children starting school at age 6. - Elementary School is 6 years (ages 6-12) Grades 1-6. Culminates in the Certificate of Primary Education. - Lower Secondary School is 3 years (ages 13-15) Grades 7-9. Culminates in the Certificate of Lower Secondary Education - Senior Secondary School is 3 years (ages 16-18) Grades 10-12. Culminates in the Certificate of Secondary Education.

My daughter was also in Temple school grade 5 when she was age 11/12.

But this story is about Prathom 5 students. And Temple school generally ends at age 12

Strongest Florida hurricane ever was a cat 5 in 1935 (Labour Day) 160kph+, two other cat 5s 1992 (Andrew) 145kph+, and 2018 (Michael) 140kph+ weren't as bad. There's a list of Florida hurricanes on Wiki and it doesn't show any increase in strengths in the past 100 years. If anything the cat 5s are getting weaker. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Florida_hurricanes

Some of us use more advanced systems than lead acid batteries. My BMS chooses when my battery stops discharging. That's if my inverter doesn't switch to grid first.

You're forgetting she pays 80% of Bobs living expenses.

Yeah, but Thais only pay 1/10 our price.

I rarely eat local food outside the UK. Plenty of German/Brit/Aussie/Mexican restaurants in PI. In Thailand I regularly eat at German and Indian restaurants.

Not cost effective .............. 10 days overcast a year costs me about 10 units of electricity from the PEA ....... 40bht.

I've spent the last 20 years of my life living through super-unlikely scenarios. If I were still living back in the west, I wouldn't believe me either!

I noticed and agree with you.
