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).

The 7-11 CP double pork cheese burger is very good for 42bht. Which cheesecake though? Thinking of buying another battery, NMC 238w 48V @55,000bht.

They just need to stop the locals burning the forest!

The storm hit CM too. The houses either side of me both lost ridge tiles.

Rice, It all tastes the same to me!

As is your unrelenting stupidity!

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.

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.

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?

It doesnt appear to be unlivable for my Thai daughter.

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.

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!

Don't any of these people have gates? If you don't want people coming into your property lock your gate!

I've lived here 14 years and never interacted in Thai society.

I wouldn't have hung around, no point in getting involved in other people's arguments. I usually manage to hide from arguments happening in my own household. Avoid all confrontation is the best way to live life!

Not sure you need to go out to fireworks. I can stand on my balcony at home and see the Loi Kratong celebrations. Not to mention, less chance of a rocket in the ear. Surprised you manage to leave your hospital bed at all, with your extensive collection of unusual medical ailments.

The cheerleaders to which you referred were shot by a Latino. As I pointed out in my post directly after you hated on elderly white guys.

I'd feel safer in the US with a concealed carry, than risk my elderly martial arts skills against drug dealers, homeless, and gang members.

I'm not keen on getting rat diseased moat water thrown on my head/face. And don't want to be knocked off my m/c by drunks or people throwing buckets of ice and water over me as I drive along the road. But if you enjoy it, why not! I avoided socialising during Songkran, but was back out as normal this week. I have no problem mixing with much younger Thai ladies, but zero interest in mixing with thuggish drunken young males from the UK/Oz/NZ.

You only repeat the teenage black persons statement. Do you have some problem which makes you exclude the elderly white persons statement?

Can't beat ivermectin injections at the vet. My vet charges 100-150bht a time and 2 injections seem to last my rabbits 2-3 years.
