I think it's down to us all being 60+, and wanting a fit looking 30 year old woman in our beds.

"......... and also shares Jo's passion for health and fitness." I wouldn't call someone that died at age 30 healthy or fit. Epic fail!

Some Thai ladies come with an instruction manual.

Disagree, I've rented/bought many Asian ladies, and they were all better than the Brit lady that allegedly married me for love. The trick is, not to give them enough money up front, that they no longer need you.

Only did it once, bus is cheaper and more comfortable.

'in sickness and health' went out the window in the UK in 1997.

That's very true, but i'm used to living in the UK, so 8 months of unbearably cold, dark and wet Vs 2 months of smog is an easy decision to make.

But it does say the scooter was dragged 100m, indicating the guy was so out of his head he didn't notice the collision.

I'd like to suggest they call it ....... Operation Dark Storm! https://matrix.fandom.com/wiki/Operation_Dark_Storm "During the early years of humanity's war against the Machines, the leaders of the United Nations found themselves desperately trying to halt the advancement of 01's armies, who were relentlessly advancing and overrunning various nations in Africa and Eurasia. When the war began sometime after 2139 (approximated based on the end of the Second Renaissance), the Machines were steadily winning against humans. Looking for any way to slow their advance, scientists devised the plan to block the sun's rays from the surface of Earth using nanites sprayed into the upper atmosphere in the hopes of cutting the Machines off from their primary power source. This "final solution" was code-named Operation Dark Storm."

I've got the same in Chiang Mai, but the mortgage repayments are only 10kbht/month.

I thought that was the whole idea of Brexit?

I have HBOGo, costs about 40bht/month.

MaeJo, in the road between the police station and the post office.

Who says beer is poison?

My electricity bill was 160bht last month. Wasting electricity and renting an expensive home is a lifestyle choice, not a need.

The police won't accept charges in a domestic situation, probable not even if she stabs you. Their one and only answer to domestic violence is to suggest you move, sometimes they will protect and escort the 'victim' to the bus station and even pay for their ticket.

If you are married there are no legal ramifications to you leaving with your son. But conversely she can also leave with her son, or snatch him from you later. In Thailand both parents (if married) have the right to snatch, run and hide. Winner take all, strange but true.

'can' be, not 'must' be.

My son's 12 and doesn't have an ID card yet. Generally the school takes them along to get it done when they're 14. (They did that with my daughter)

Menopause often brings on mental illness, if she's 45-55 that could be the cause. My misses back in the UK went completely bonkers at that age.

Cycle from MaeJo to Wat Doi Tairn ......... no traffic apart from other cyclists! I do it 2x mornings a week, 25Km round trip with a challenging hill climb for the last 1Km.

55bht in 7/11 Vs 100bht in the bar for a large Leo . The appeal is you can drink 2x as much for almost the same price.

Would also point out your Thai wife can't do this either (without a tour guide license).

No problems at all on my scooter or m/c. 20 mins tops from my home in MaeJo to the moat (12km) any time of the day or night.

The police are often quite sensible bout domestic violence. I agree with them, if you don't like it leave.
