If I'm paying, her opinion is not required or invited.

So you met your "normal women" but none of them wanted you! More likely they would have turned out like your other wives, if they had stuck around long enough.

Proclaims a guy that's never managed to meet one of these imaginary "normal women" Come on Fred, give us a clue, if you can't find one despite having Gods help, what chance do the rest of us have of meeting one?

Impossible for MALE non-working (in Thailand) foreigners. For any FEMALE foreigners married to a Thai man, really easy working or not.

It was Thatcher that closed the mines and flooded them. Didn't like miners or mining unions, so gone for good.

Had some excitement with my solar power this morning. Bit of a plastic burning smell in the kitchen, traced to the wire from my battery breaker (at the breaker) to my battery. Cable burned, plastic on breaker terminal slightly melted. Turn everything off, remove a few inches of the burned cable and remade the crimp. Not sure why this happened, cable now cool passing the mid-day 25A at 55V from the solar inverter/panels, no voltage drop from inverter to battery. .........maybe just corrosion, but all the other crimps show no damage.

Ah yes, they were only obeying zee orders! But lucky for me neither of my Thai banks seem to care about government rules ..... all that much.

They were mostly all flooded so they couldn't be reopened.

All western governments want immigrants (but not foreign wives of citizens), I'm not sure why. It's the citizens that don't want the immigrants.

But you don't need a SIM for phone banking (after the phone + SIM is authorized). You just need the phone (with any SIM or wifi).

Nearly as bad in the UK, no UK address and they are likely to cancel your bank account.

But rather unjust, as I would expect from the Brit police. The extradition laws are in place for a reason.

It's the western governments Ponzi property scheme that's the main problem. Restrict new building, force up housing prices, then create a slave labour society working 24/7 in order to have a home. Meanwhile China is producing 2 room fully fitted housing pods for $5000. Easily shipped by container, ready to be hooked up to utils. https://fandiluo.en.made-in-china.com/product/WQgrOVUbXSRo/China-Fully-Furnished-Luxury-Capsule-House-Hotel-with-Bathroom-Modern-Prefabricated-Mobile-Portable-Waterproof-Villa.html

Almost every item I now own was made in China. 75" TCL tv, best I've ever owned (compared to Sony, Pioneer, Panasonic. LG, Samsung) eMTB Trinx M1000 pro, also the best bicycle I've ever owned (compared to Merida, Trek, Raliegh, Giant) Solar inverter and panels, problem free so far. Tablet, phone, computer, fans, watch, cycling computer, Kindle, all Chinese. I doubt you could buy much in Thailand that wasn't made in China.

MG4 costs 50% more, and my furthest journey is Makro, approx 12Km away from home. Also they have some 18 month old demo NETA V for 300kbht (20,000Km) which is a total bargain. Not driven either yet, I have only sat in the Neta V and it was fine, plenty of room for me to drive. Didn't seem to be cheap or a tin can, but I guess it might shake and rattle when I drive one.

Loss of currency value more to do with economy busting COVID restrictions, unless you can point out a western currency that hasn't lost value in the past 5 years?

His son is a teacher in Thailand. His daughter died in a RTA a couple of years back. Him and his new(ish) Thai partner are bringing up his dead daughters child. Now he's gone, I wonder what will happen to his grandchild?

And I thought it was completely made up as a feeble excuse to justify a blatant Anti-British thread.

Just watched "Homestead", America falls after a nuke terrorist attack ........... The most awful woke Mormon prepper nonsense you could possibly imagine. At least nobody dropped their guns, or fell over running away. I just wasted nearly 2hrs of my life.

Smoke high Indica cannabis every evening before bed, then a big wee 20-30 minutes later, and again when you wake up at sunrise.

I'm currently trying to buy one, Neta V (430kbht) or MG4 (600kbht) are the likely choices. Mainly because my house is solar powered and it would be nice not to pay for fuel anymore. Called into the Neta showroom with a pal for a test drive, but forgot my DL (left it at home in my pickup) so no go, will call in again next week. Not much English spoken and they only had the more expensive Smart (460kbht) in stock.

LA Casita is the only Mexican place I go. I'd rate the food as average and reasonably priced. as opposed to everywhere else where the food is awful and expensive. Tacos are in the 70-80bht range, two of those (usually spicy pork and chicken for me) along with the free chips and dips make a filling meal total of under 200bht.

Had a flick through your profile page of postings, all worthless IMHO. Even GG provides more worthwhile content.

Don't think anyone in the motor industry is doing that well since the COVID restrictions destroyed the world economy.

Promises, promises ......... Back to the OP, The internet is the same as it's always been (but faster), movies, tv shows, music, books all free. Nobody is forcing you to read opinions/stories you may not like on social media.
