So my wife thinks she's coming into a few million Baht (almost no chance). And wanted me to sign a document stating any money she gets is hers, and I have no claim on it. I say, "sure, no problem", and she brings over a notepad for me to write out the agreement. I write "any money you get and half belongs to me" she tells me to sign and date it to make it official. She asks me to read out what I wrote, and I read out "any money you get belongs entirely to you" She walks off happily clutching the document to keep somewhere safe ......... You can't fix stupid!

I've found women usually prefer men with 2,000bht.

Don't think any of us have managed to emigrate. We're just long term tourists!

I thought the same, but now I've switched to Dairy Rich. Tastes exactly the same as Meiji, once you have the mix right. 620gm water + 70gm Dairy Rich.

Had loads of them after taking calcium pills and an accelerant to help grow my shoulder bones back together. Mostly on my ankles, just scraped them off with my fingernail.

We didn't all die of COVID, and the sea hasn't flooded all the beach resorts .......... And they've been telling us there's only 10 years left for at least the past 40 years. The hole in the ozone layer went away, the ice caps and glaciers haven't all melted. And what about 'peak oil', forecast for the late 1990s they quietly forgot all about that 20 years later. Wasn't the world going to run out of food and water in the early 2000's? No signs of thirst or hunger either!

I don't believe most Lefty stories.

A couple of years after I had arrived and living a normal married life with my Thai wife and kids, an Australiam pal of mine mentioned he wouldn't mind having a wife and kids. A week or two later this Thai couple turned up with their 18 yo daughter, and asked if my pal would be interested. Guaranteed virgin, she wanted a car, a house and to go to university, in return he would get a wife and as many kids as he could put in her. They weren't poor either, turned up in a new pickup and he was a manager at a local furniture factory. Attractive girl too ...........

You're asking for them not to smoke weed, because there's nowhere in Thailand a tourist can legally smoke.

But most of them aren't stopped by condoms! HIV yes, HPV no, Herpes no. Can't think of any other lifetime STIs.

Risk of man catching from an infected woman is 1 in 5000. So if 1 in 10 women were infected, you'd need 50,000 unprotected shags with random women to 100% catch it. (CDC figures) I did have both my Thai LTRs tested before moving in with them. So even less chance.

Extra happy today, Stopped raining after 10 days, and I've been out cycling to the lake in the sun. Still looking cloudy over Chiang Mai.

But the marriage VISA lasts 5 years. Downside is a bounce every 180 days. Upside is There's a bus Saigon to Phnom Penh.

Cambodia, Philippines, Vietnam are not that different to Thailand. If you don't have the 800kbht cash in the bank, it's not required there.

I paid 20% of my wage during my working life for the "free health care", so why shouldn't I use it? (10% employee + 10% employer NI contributions)

I've got 20kGBP sitting in my UK account waiting for the official announcement. But if it's for 2024 and 2025, better get a move on 2025 already half over!

In Siam Reap I used to sit by the swimming pool and the place was packed with Israelis that had just finished their national service, all with bags of weed on the table by them. The guys were all really nice, and rolled them for me.

From all the posts I read, lots of people always seem to be angry or unhappy, Don't really understand that myself, my 16 years here have been the best in my life. ............. and who could have guessed that my old age would be better than my youth! I've been gathering all my photos into one collection (Synology Photos), so many happy memories. Yep, I'm happy, nice wife, nice kids, nice pets, nice life. How about you?

I cook mine on the grill tray, so it's cooked from above and below. After pulling out all the solid trays.

If you're a tourist how can you smoke in private? Not allowed in room or balcony. Not allowed on beach, park, or road. Not allowed in bars or restaurants.

Some people learn from experience, some people don't!. How many people on this forum are on their 3rd or 4th wife?

Don't think climate change has made it into history yet. But I'm betting it will all turn out to be a lefty control scam ..... Like COVID.

What makes you think he loves her?

Women, journalists and social media never lie ............

I haven't seen any video of a woman being slapped, or the size of alleged woman. All I've seen is a pack of Thai guys kicked the heads in of two foreigners.
