Expat By Choice - But Why Are You Here?
BritManToo replied to RethairedJarhead's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I can only assume you aren't qualified to teach in the UK. When I was back in the UK 2009, working 'supply', I was paid 130GBP (+NI) for every day I worked in high school. And I could have worked every weekday if I had wanted. -

I would if I could! -

It's actually just another rumour, there is no requirement for foreign retirees to file Thai tax returns. -

It's all rumour, misinformation and scaremongering, so no thanks from me. -
Yes, servants wages in the west have gone through the roof, but we don't really need them anymore.

Almost every white guy I know is in a mixed race relationship. I now view it as entirely normal, if not preferable to the white Brit women I left behind. All my white female relatives (back in the UK) seem to be off their heads with inflated ideas of their own importance, entitlement and worth, I don't even bother with communication any more.

Thailand’s Medical Insurance Rules Confuse Tourists
BritManToo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Well my government minimum m/c insurance paid 13,500bht for 5 broken ribs, broken collarbone, collapsed lung, and a months physiotherapy for treatment at my local government hospital over a period of 4 months. And I would be tier 3 by your reckoning. Broken arm I'd expect to be around 2,000-3,000bht as it's outpatient completed in an hour or two. -

300,000bht seems a little expensive for a broken arm and some cuts.- 73 replies

Are Older Men in Thailand Trading Love for Financial Ruin
BritManToo replied to CharlieH's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Best to buy on a mortgage in her name, minimum deposited, maximum term. Then she still needs you to make the repayments. -
Places to EAT around Chiang Mai - reviews and discussion
BritManToo replied to Trujillo's topic in Chiang Mai
Does Mexican count as 'farang food'? If so La Casita in Ratvithi Road is well worth a visit. Three tacos and a soft drink for around 250bht, includes free chips and dips, more than I can eat. Beware the spicy pork taco, you'll need a bottle of water to douse the fire. I usually order 1 pork, 1 chicken and 1 chorizo pork. There's also Creole Gumbo for the more adventurous! -

Avoid the Canadian bacon (aka gammon), dry as dirt. American breakfast with bacon is good but expensive, 290bht but includes 1 coffee mug refill. Clam chowder in bread bowl for the adventurous 180bht. Went there when Auf De Au was closed, German buffet for 260bht, well worth the cost, includes coffee. Thick sliced ham, meatballs, fried fish and assorted breads all good. -

Butter is Better, same as Route66 but in town, same price, similar menu, similar American diner experience. -

Over 50 and Feeling the Frustration
BritManToo replied to 123Stodg's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I always found cocoa powder worked well, banana and cocoa smoothie every morning. This was when I was a bit ill a few years back, don't need it now. Not expensive, https://www.lazada.co.th/shop/ccspecialist -
How different the ambiance is
BritManToo replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
You used to tell the same story under another username. -
Depends what you're buying! How much would a 75" TV have cost in1924? Or movies or a music collection in your home? And why worry about the money value, isn't the real value in the number of hours you need to work in order to buy something? If you're considering the working hours required, most of us are billionaires compared to people living 100 years ago.

She looked quite cute though! -
Now starting: Chiang Mai Expats Dining Group

Might be a good idea to state age range, employment status of your target group, and some of the restaurants you intend to use. -
Thai man survives attempted murder orchestrated by ex-girlfriend
BritManToo replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
I've had two, I ran and hid from both! Then I found one so violent, she scared the first two off after beating one of them unconscious. Happily married to number three for 15 years. -
The wife wants another baby. I don't think its a good idea.
BritManToo replied to ubonr1971's topic in Marriage and Divorce
At 38, I doubt she can get pregnant, why not just agree and let nature take it's course. I've had 5 kids, 4 with Brit wife and 1 with Thai wife (our ages 54+34), but wouldn't have minded more. Mind you, I'd probably dump mine if she didn't want to hand over our stuff to our kid.
