A lot of posters don't seem to understand doing stuff around your home, and doing stuff around your woman's business are different in the eyes of immigration. I have no problems planting a tree or two in our home, but planting 50 on her farm would be entirely different. Cutting my lawn = OK, harvesting a field of rice = not OK.

Get off the plane, throw a brick through a shop window. Immediate free housing, food, health care and counselling for as long as you like.

My local eating place run by 2 little old Thai ladies in their 60s. Pat prik geng gai peeset (large portion rice with chicken in red curry sauce) = 50bht Almost more than I can eat with quality chicken breast. Auf De Au German buffet in CM, all you can eat for 230bht (lasts me all day). Including coffee, tea and a selection of puddings. And the thick cut ham is really nice. Rajadabar Indian restaurant in Loi Kro, Chicken Masala curry + Naan bread 220bht. Eating out, you just need to pick your spots and not carelessly waste money. As for western foods, cook it yourself at home, most of my meals cost a lot less than 40bht to make. Cottage pie .......... pork mince + mashed potato, around 20bht for a big portion. Chicken and chips ........... 25bht. Bacon, egg and chips ...... 25bht. Just having a double car port built, 40kbht around 900 GBP. 2 builders taking around 4-6 days, steel beams and corrugated aluminium(?) roofing. How much would that cost me back in the UK?

from the video (around 45s) it looks like they were standing unmoving on the center line waiting for the traffic to pass, when the (red) car drove over the center line to hit them. Just before impact, no idea what the car driver was thinking/doing Looks deliberate!

Me too! Mostly populated by female students attending MaeJo University. I'd be OK in one of these, if I didn't have all the hangers on living with me.

4,000bht for the ground floor shop-front. 2,500bht each for the upper 2 floors (extra if you want them to fit air-con). Each 2 condos share a staircase (free wifi, double bed, wardrobe, study desk). Covered parking for m/cs round the back, parking for cars in the front. Tesco/7-11/BigC, restaurants, bars, swimming pool all within 500m. Originally built as shop-houses 8 years back, but they didn't sell any (3Mbht) so they converted them to condos, 1 on each level of the original shop-house. Swimming pool in the next Soi (40bht) about 200m. Gym across the road, don't know the price, about 50m.

24.9M for the zoo director. 100k for the animals.

1. Divorced women never enforce agreements which aren't to their benefit. 2. But they will happily undermine the father at every opportunity. 3. Courts rarely punish mothers for breaking divorce agreements. This is the way the non-Muslim world works.

Not all that sure about that, When you get a married extension the paperwork isn't enough, they want to see her at immigration and in the home (and they generally ask her if she's happy in the marriage). As far as I can see the same rules will apply to a dependents extension, dependent will need to be present in the home, and they will ask him if he's happy living with dad. But I could be totally wrong, so OP should call immigration and ask if his dependent extension is still valid when his dependent son has run away from home. That would be better than immigration finding out later and ruling him as being on overstay since the boy moved out.

Easier to wait for the OP to report to the police and see what happens next. Trying to force a teenage Thai boy to live with a guy he doesn't like (while his mom empowers him) will be like banging your head against a brick wall that hits back. The OP just doesn't have realistic expectations on the outcome of this situation.

Sadly it's not very good, Season 1 was 100x better.

At age 15 he can make his own choices and nobody will enforce any papers. (OP hasn't declared how close to 15 the boy is) The VISA extension will have 'defacto' as a get out clause, which the Thais will prefer to enforce on a 'problem' foreigner.

If the kid's no longer living with you, your VISA extension will be invalid. Best not to go to the police and admit he's left IMHO. They'll call immigration, then you'll be gone. At age 15 kids in Thailand can effectively choose where they want to live without any parental consent.

I don't think too much about people I don't know.

Nope, I generally believe everyone I meet that claim to have been postmen, builders, painters and decorators, etc. But my real name isn't Pollyanna.

I've met plenty of SAS guys ........... people in bars lie!

Rats are not native to NZ or AUS. If the creator had wanted them there, he would have put them there.

Thailand isn't a destination for western 'white collar' workers. Don't think I've ever encountered another expat with a degree.

No BKB cards worked in any ATM when their system kept crashing last year.

When I went to my woman's village they were calling her the 'slut that went to whore in Bangkok'. In Thai not knowing I understood.

Photo of thug, followed by photo of bonkers slut.

Forget insurance, accept death when it comes!

Why not?

Not required IMHO .......... I always assume that any women that voluntarily talks to me (socially) is a hooker.

As I said, always on low-lifes.
