Get a second bank account! As another poster already said, forget PR, go straight for citizenship after marriage to a Thai as it's much easier.

Could the answer be that 'corrupt crooks' are the only choices offered on the ballot papers? (and not only on Thai ballot papers)

I think it's the Laos and Central languages that really mark the divide in the Thai people. (you could also add Arabic as the 3rd division)

We wondered how well the head was attached to the wall ............

My current PEA grid electric is 3.7bht/unit.

I assumed it's based on the Dust Silo series of books written by Hugh Howey. The books were good!

No coffee, tea, alcohol, paracetamol then?

I've got a cycling helmet in my room, but I don't do any cycling in the room.

I drink the tapwater in CM, and have done so for the past 10 years. No problem so far. Make my ice from tapwater too.

I tell my woman grandma has 3 children, so she is OK to stay with us for 4 months a year. After that I'll be in Pattaya, with my wallet, until she's gone. Works every time!

The timing of the court case is certainly political. But what I don't understand, if Trump is such a loser, why are his political opponents so clearly frightened of him? I mean, if I were running for president, I'd want the weakest possible opponent to fight the election against.

Qualified to teach in your home country?

It's very dependent on your own educational and intelligence. If you were a plumber in Merseyside, or a dustman in Bolton, Issan villagers might well seem interesting to you.

Lonely men? Back to the OP, Naked Brits, naked Germans, thank go there's no naked Thais in Pattaya!

Normal woman in normal relationship = not much sex after the first year, but plenty of expense. Ever had a 'normal' relationship last 5+ years and still plenty of sex, I'm betting not!

(laziness, greed, ignorance, lack of education, lack of morals) ..... apart from education, your post applies to every woman I ever dated (including my former Brit schoolteacher wife). I'm sure all women aren't like that, just the ones I've encountered. But at least when I know they came from a background of sex work, I'm not fooled into trusting them so much ........and they rarely refuse sex.

I don't know any Thais that buy high priced flowers, they all either grow their own or smoke brick. So one has to ask, how many Thai (high quality) shops can the white foreigner tourist/expat customers support? There is simply no large market in Thailand for 500bht/gm weed IMHO.

Plenty of brick smuggled from Laos (under 3000bht/kg). Probably the most popular/prolific source of weed in Thailand. Can't imagine many Thais paying Kitty 1000bht/gm+ for a smoke.

Pricing error, 50m x2.5mm twin = 900bht (HomePro).

Fertilizer makes no difference to the chemical content of the flowers. As far as I'm concerned 'flushing' has no basis in science. Do you insist your apples/wheat/veggies are flushed before harvest? As someone else just posted, pesticides and PGR may affect the finished product and produce headaches. But I can't say for sure as I have never (knowingly) smoked such weed, and mostly grow my own.

That pricing seems way over the top, A 5k5 hybrid inverter can be had for 13,000bht. No need for ATS, the inverters switch themselves, I use a breaker/fuse box that cost under 1,000bht. Mountings can be made with little effort from 2x1 box steel (400bht for 6m) Cables can be made from household 2.4mm twin, one 25m reel should do at about 1,500bht. 20kWhr batteries, (2 x 12kWhr NMC) @ 50,000bht each = 100,000bht. Use your existing home grounding. No need to have every electrical item in your house running from solar, pick and choose. My home is 80% solar from 1x 5K5 hybrid inverter, 9x 340W panels, and a 50,000bjt LifePo battery. Total cost was under 100,000bht. Aircon/shower heaters and electric cooker powered direct from grid. Rest of house runs from the Inverter, which switches to grid if batteries/sun run out.

Solar panels (340W) were 2,600bht in 2020, today 2023 they cost 3,600bht. So getting 35% more expensive.
