  1. But you can't insure the van or get a driving license without an address,
  2. There are only 2 solutions to the Muslim insurgency in the South, neither of which require more democracy or any reforms. 1. Remove all the Muslims or 2. Give them independence.
  3. I think you'll find they're all political appointees.
  4. they lost the plastic signs for 1,3 and 7.
  5. Odd that they never offered this option to my daughter that came 2nd in her year at government school in 2017.
  6. More likely she's visiting her Thai husband and kids.
  7. Forget what she's been up to, curiosity killed the cat.
  8. Her property not our property. I'd just leave without telling her, while she's at her 'remote village'. Chuck your sim and never accept contact with/from her again. PS. that's what I did with my last one, she went off for a week to nurse her sick mother, she even took her 'naughty nurse' cosplay outfit with her. When she got back I'd moved elsewhere and I never spoke with her again.
  9. I agree with everything you post.
  10. But only 1 of your heads works at any one time.
  11. Financial services seem to make most money in the west, no particular qualification required MP/Senator in Thailand, degree of any kind, right family or being a general required.
  12. I thought their parents just paid a bribe ........... either to the school to give the top marks, or the university to overlook the bad marks. I gave my womans high-school teacher 500bht to take the high-school finals for her. Way easier than her studying. Bribes work for university places in the UK as well. I had a chat with my kids headmaster, the university course director and the university admissions officer to ensure her place. They were all very co-operative.
  13. I forgot Fourier Analysis and Laplace Transforms the moment I finished the exams.
  14. In my own country no woman (I wanted) wanted me, not even a prostitute. Here I have enough money that I don't need a roomie to help me pay the bills. One of the things I've noticed about posters advocating 'women with jobs' ..... they're all broke (or western women) and low quality men. And they can't afford to support a non-worker.
  15. I think I'm more intelligent than most women (and most men) because my IQ is 140+.
  16. Most Thai women I've encountered view discussion (aka mansplaining) as some form of violence/attack on them and are likely to pull a knife. Better IMHO to agree with everything that they say/want, but never take any action, this is the Thai way.
  17. Yes, but I started out as a lowly paid math teacher. Moving out of Math instantly doubled my salary. One of the things that really annoys me about many posters ......... They have no idea what qualifications are required for most jobs, and no idea about the wage those jobs bring in. India trains millions of STEM graduates, and they will all work cheaper than people from other countries. Hence most STEM jobs being very lowly paid. So you made all that study effort for nothing.
  18. Doctor and Dentist are the high paying jobs in your list, and you don't need much math for those. My kid in the UK went that route, Chemistry, Biology, Math, English Lit were what she required. The university was more interested in a broad education than math skills (hence the English Lit). Physicist. Chemist, Engineer, scientist would be lucky to earn 25kbht/month in Thailand. Better off studying Political Science to get a government job. Why make the effort only to be able to get a low paid job?
  19. Please explain how math is useful to 99.9% of the population?
  20. Unless you want to be a schoolteacher, math is pretty worthless in Thailand IMHO. I know posters on this forum love STEM, but all the jobs are low paid. My misses wants to send our 12yo son to private school, but I can't see him being all that keen on a 3hr van journey with a maniac driver every day.
  21. Entirely normal in marriages with children. Buy yourself some pets or get a girlfriend. It'll make you feel a lot better.
  22. I used to race my pals from Maya to Central through town. They had scooters and I had a road bicycle. Most of the time I beat them.
  23. FCA only covers people living and using financial services in the UK. OP is living in Thailand so not covered, and not entitled to use pension/investment/IFA services in the UK. Any UK IFA in Thailand is already working illegally (reserved occupation for Thais) and as a first step will try to move your pension offshore, Isle of Man is popular, or into QROPs. Financial crooks trawl this forum looking for victims. Beware of people in this forum PMing you with advice.
