So you miss out on all the discounts and free shipping.

The only people they really need to ask is the army.

Or you could use your Thai debit card in any Viet ATM. Da Nang is not all that culturally interesting, beautiful beach and clean sea but that's about it. If you want markets, restaurants, sightseeing and cultural stuff, Hanoi is the place to go. Stay near the central lake with it's little tower in the middle. Evening food walking tour is good value for money, daytime cultural walking tour also worthwhile. Train to Ninh Binh is a worthwhile side trip then a boat ride through the lakes and tunnels at Trang An, and a walk up Hang Mua if you're fit enough.

I live off my Thai wife, so the 400k will last forever.

Answer, I don't have any income, just 400k in my Thai bank account. Answer for monthly method, I don't have any income, just the 40k/month mommy and daddy give me.

Your posts aren't really clear. Who is taking whom to court? It's not your house, so I don't see how anyone could take you to court. It's not his business, so he also can't be taking anyone to court. For example, My wife ownes a house, but the land office have a signed document from me saying the property is nothing to do with me. Stand back, and repeat, "this property is not mine, I accept no responsibility".

If they finished the job and it works, you have to pay. If they didn't finish the work, you don't pay. So does your solar installation work?

Know what they all are, pay for their time. Trust No One!

I prefer to run and hide. Failing that, my wife carries a knife.

Why would anyone care about her past? Enjoy the sex. Don't give anyone the chance to take from you. Trust No One!

She's a bit on the old side (48), but I could overlook that in the hopes of grabbing some of her $300M USD.

Went to a digital nomads meeting in Chiang Mai last night, almost all frumpy women and a couple of effeminate looking guys. Ages ranged from early 30s to mid 50s.

Honour, duty, loyalty, bravery, morality, honesty (etc.) are western knightly cultural virtues that were invented to control male behaviour. Females don't really have morals as we think of them it's not in their culture. But trying to apply them to an Asian female ........ just no!

When I call my bank/DWP/IRS from overseas, I use a Skype phone number that appears to be in London. They can also call me back on that London number. $90 US a year and well worth it. I have a very common name in the UK, my bank doesn't have my passport number (I never admit to having a passport) or NI number, and thinks I'm living in the UK, I use a 3rd party to transfer money around (that isn't a bank) so how could they inform Thai authorities about anything? Do you know who I am? ......... no you don't, and I'm not telling.

It's common practise in Muslim society. Similar in Korea as well. Western culture is not the norm, the rest of the world outnumber us.

Get yourself solar panels with batteries. Then have correct uninterrupted power 24/7.

Death is never pretty. Most of the people I know that die of old age, died screaming in pain.

If I were to vote, it would be for someone I feel that would represent me and further my interests. I'm a straight white male, so that's who I would vote for. Also adulterers, and serial cheaters, If they would lie and deceive their nearest and dearest, they probably wouldn't think twice about doing the same to someone they don't know. Religious, People that don't have a firm grip on reality shouldn't be trusted to run anything. Would you respect a leader that needed to consult the fairies at the end of the garden, or any other invisible friend before they could make a decision?

Yes I agree, old people (including me) lead a pointless existence. But at least I'm not pretending my uploads to tiktok are a real life.

Sticky waterfalls is deserted most week days, but can be packed with Thais at the weekends and special days. Seems like they don't know the decent sized swimming hole near the bottom of the waterfalls. Trail at bottom of sticky falls, follow into the jungle until you cross a small ravine, down the ravine, then turn left up the water course. About 1-2Km from the bottom stairs.

More like pointless 'make work' to pass the time.

Not required in advance of travel .................. "If you are unable to do so before departure, personnel from the Philippine Bureau of Quarantine (BOQ) and airport staff will assist you in completing and uploading the e-Travel Registration upon your arrival in the Philippines"

More about not finding one we could afford!

Obviously for me it is, as I have a younger wife and 12yo son, but for most retired people single, no kids, no need to work, no purpose in life.

It's interesting the Thais don't understand this makes Vietnam an PI so much easier as a holiday destination. It's almost as if they don't want tourist money.
