  1. UK government already has plans to move the state pension to 70 years old (from the current 67). Thailand is just leading the world for a change.
  2. Mine arrived yesterday, works really well. None of the problems you mentioned.
  3. 100bht for an extendable steel baton. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/i3379463246-s12497131273.html
  4. I believe they only want to 'lure' 2 week tourists. They ain't that keen on foreigners living here.
  5. Saigon is a much better destination for your ME 'o' IMHO. Direct flight and no queues like Savannakhet.
  6. This was the classic 'my girl is different', oh no she wasn't, I'm going home to mom story. I laughed so hard when it happened, all those warning stories he published .......
  7. Cambodia, no hoops at all, $300/year using an agent (55+). Philippines, no hoops at all, $50 every 2 months using an agent (no age restrictions).
  8. Oddly enough when I came here 12 years back I was spending 60k/month (just me). Now I'm spending nearer 40k/month (4 of us). I don't think inflation in Thailand is that significant.
  9. Paperwork for marriage extension is the same now as it was in 2010.
  10. Would point out the current price of brick is 400bht/100gm You've just paid over double the going rate.
  11. I'm not sure there are any 'students' older than age 12 in the world that don't know what sex is. My 10yo son and 13yo daughter seem to know.
  12. You're right! Mine once managed to avoid banging me for nearly a month. I fined her 1 months wages, floods of tears, but she never played that game again.
  13. I alway wondered why the temperature measurements recorded by amateur Victorian scientists are accurate to 0.05 of a degree?
  14. I noticed in the Philippines how polite everyone was.
  15. Here's their best song ..........
  16. Assume the weed shops have information we don't. Just like the growers had information we didn't. They've all been investing a lot of money ..... doesn't seem likely they're all stupid.
  17. One of my Kiwi pals lived in CM on 20kbht a month. He seemed happy enough, cheap room, few beers of an evening, girl from the street now and again, regular girlfriend. He was a welder when he worked in NZ. Most of the world lives a very frugal, cold, hungry and restricted life in their old age. We're the lucky ones!
  18. It's nearly always cheaper to drink beer. I've also noticed the serving ladies avoid guys drinking soft drinks.
  19. They'd have to first issue me a licence in order to suspend it.
  20. And yet ......... I was a scientist working for the British government. What's your degree in Chomper, old chap?
  21. I only need 1,000bht to impress a Thai woman.
