I'm more fed up with the problematic new trolls joining this forum and pretending they live in Thailand. As for the badly behaved foreigners, stay away from that famous family resort known as Pattaya and you'll never meet any of them.

You forgot PI and Cambodia who welcome nearly everyone at a much cheaper entrance fee than Thailand. Vietnam nearly as easy as long as you marry a local, father a child or pretend to run a business.

Three nonsense replies so far, If the house was purchased during your marriage, you already own 50% or it. Inheritance laws (if no will) specify you will inherit 50% of her share. While you would probably be required to sell your share within 12 months of probate, there is no set time for probate under Thai law, so you could not complete probate and continue to live in a house registered to your deceased wife.

Are you still pretending to live in Thailand? Back on topic, It's nice to be able to go cycling almost every day. Back in the UK I wasn't able to cycle once a week.

Whataboutery?

I'm actually a Marxist .... So extreme left!

Same as Seppius

I believe he was an actor hired by channel 4 to smear Farage, and not a Reform activist.

Are you currently in Thailand?

There's street food everywhere in Chiang Mai. Plenty of old buildings as well. I like it here the way it is now, when I first came in 2009, internet was slow, True was the only real TV choice, mobile phone coverage was poor. Now I have high speed internet, can download any tv series/movie/book I want, google maps works everywhere, coffee shops all over starting at 25bht. Some things change, usually for the better.

Have you ever been to Thailand? Are you claiming you're living in Thailand?

Affordable ..... Housing, restaurants, women, utilities, divorce.

Would point out the exploding batteries were sitting in trays in the factory, not being charged and undamaged.

For the past 60 years I haven't noticed the world getting any hotter, forgive me for being sceptical about future predictions of doom. COVID same Sea level rises same Ozone layer same Peak oil same Over population same Famine same Drinking water same

I've got a tray of those 3.7v batteries sitting between my legs on my ebike, first hint of smoke from it and I'll be off and running. I already charge it in the front garden 'just in case'. No so worried about the house 3.2v lifepo4 battery pack sitting in my kitchen.

I used to teach in those UK council estate schools, and they were worse than the Thai government schools I've encountered. My 12yo son currently attends Thai government school in the CEP class (Chinese and English Project). Way better than any Brit highschool I ever taught in. 8kbht/term with a class size of 25.

Those trays of batteries (18650?) Started going off like firecrackers, and it all happened so quickly.

I don't see health insurance as necessary, I accept at some point in my life I will die. Hit an run got me last year while driving my m/c, 6 broken bones, collapsed lung, many cuts and bruises, total cost over 4 months (government hospital) was just over 13kbht (including physiotherapy for a month). Surprisingly completely paid for by my m/c government minimum insurance. Nobody forces a foreigner to use the most expensive private hospital.

This all seems irrelevant to me, why would anyone care about a woman's past. If you're worried about disease, get her tested (along with yourself). I've always been attracted to women in their early 30s, don't expect them to be virgins, neither am I. Yeah, I've had more than my fair share of teen virgins (I was a teen too), none of them were worthwhile

We are all acting a role, the difference being, my role is Captain Kirk, and your role is a crewman in a red shirt

I used to go to Barretto (PI), Siem Reap, Phnom Penh, Hanoi, Saigon, Da Nang every 3 months, but got tired of travelling. Too old for all that now.

I got money to spare so why not. If I didn't give it to her, how would I spend it all?

She can leave (or ask me to leave) whenever she likes. I won't be paying the mortgage if I ain't there though!

Ca08 in LINE.

My house is in the bank's name.
