BritManToo

Because traditionally women are the property of men, and expected to live in the country of their owners. The rules in the western world were broadly the same until around 1950. They even made a Hollywood movie highlighting the discrepancy (I was a Male war Bride 1949 starring Cary Grant).

It's way easier for a western woman married to a Thai to get a Thai passport (1-2 years + family income 15kbht/month) than a Thai woman married to a western man (UK 5 years + family income 140kbht/month ). You aren't comparing like with like!

So why the 90 days for Russians?

45 days is enough for legit tourists.

Thailand has nothing to offer tourists, Vietnam is better in every way. The Viets don't hate white folk, they don't put the wrong stamps in your passport, the beaches aren't infested by sand flies, there is more to see. If I didn't already have a Thai house, wife, kid, I'd not be here.

Would point out a lot of Brits are not farangs.

How about a 90 day waiver on entry like you give the Russians! We get 45 days in Vietnam, so of course more long stay Brit tourists are going to Vietnam.

You also need to understand the Thai people running the shops next door are happy to live on a fraction of the income you require. And can probably pay less for the consumables they use due to dual pricing.

I always think people go about this the wrong way! Learn to conserve, fit led lights, learn to switch off items you aren't using, do you really need that chest freezer and air con everywhere? I built my own 10 x 340w panels 25kbht, 5k5 hybrid inverter 13kbht, 6kwhr batteries 45kbht. Shower heaters, air con and electric oven connected to grid, everything else on solar. This runs 80% of my house, leaving me with a bill for 40-80 units/month and no power cuts when it's windy or raining.

Just before 3pm strong winds, thunder and a bit of sideways rain in MaeJo.

Usually the buyer dismisses all the staff of the bought and uses their existing staff for both. Can I be the first to urge Thaiger to keep CharlieH, maybe even make him the boss!

The original post on Reddit seemed to have all the information.

At least confirm desperate Dan from Pattaya is gone!

Where did I post women were evil? As for no kids, no surprise there!

I would have called her a good find!

Me too!

Let's agree (for the sake of discussion) I'm a complete piece of poop, especially where women are concerned. My LTRs were 30 years (4 kids), and 15 years (1 kid). and you (as a complete caring sharing compassionate person) have barely managed 8 years in your nearly finished lifetime. where is the logic in your posts?

No woman says what she means, every word spoken to a man is in an attempt to manipulate him.

Not that big a boast as I've been in my current transactional relationship for 15 years and we have a 12yo son. Here's a nice video explaining how 'romantic love' is purely transactional ... Obviously the guy falls at the last fence by failing to realise that to women no deal is final.

Isn't that a good thing?

Not worshiping women doesn't equate to hating them. As for here, we're all paying for their company, even if you want to claim you aren't.

Not sure if it's the stinging nettle root or smoking cannabis every night that fixed me

I would have just chucked the tea over them. It Songkran, so it's allowed.

Careful kicking Thai doctors or dentists!
