exactly. in the golden yrs who could cope with sharing a house again. Its a dumb idea. grumpy alcoholic old guys

in one household. got to be a nightmare

Quite a lot of old people end up in care homes, or retirement homes.

How is it different?

100 people sharing a condo building Vs 3 people with their own rooms in a 3 bedroom house.

Again, how is it different?

This is Thailand, followed in my father's footstep's as he had me at age 54. But, no not a usual thing in the US.

I have an 8 year old and I'm 65, doesn't seem that unusual.

Johnny Depp sent texts during his relationship with Amber Heard saying he would drown' and burn her, cut her throat then have sex with the corpse.

.

Come on, we've all said that. ..........................

I never did any of that, but my former Brit wife claimed to the courts (and anyone else that would listen) I did it all.

It's odd what women say you've done when you're splitting up .... but the tales all have a similar theme.

Especially when there's the chance of a pay off.

I find it strangely comforting that rich, famous and attractive men have to suffer the same rubbish I did.

Believe women ...... not a bloody chance!

Wouldn't it be a refreshing change, if a woman just walked away at the end, not wanting anything, and saying it's over but thanks for all the good times and free meals.

I know how he feels ,I admit he was over the top . but he's right about the kids that they don't give a flying frits about anything or anybody. they don't even care about themselves.

That was horrible.

Don't know what you're on about my kids are lovely.

Never had a single bad experience with girls here.

Me neither.

But if I'd lent them money, I probably would have.

I never saw the point in being fluent in Thai. It just allows one to understand what they are saying about one and it's usually not complimentary.

My interest in Thai women did not extend to conversation, and I had no interest in Thai men.

Me Too.

But I imagine stupid, poorly educated people are happy to talk with other stupid, poorly educated people.

Learning Thai to discuss how tasty was that meal, and let's have another drink, is about as interesting as it gets.

Since coming to Thailand, I don't want normal women, I want 8s, 9s, 10s.

Back in the UK I had to make do with normal 4s, 5s, 6s.

Contact United Flour Mills Thailand. They have bakeries and baking schools. Three in BKK and one in CNX. maybe more. They sell bulk flour in a lot of different grades. Plain white flour was 1050 baht for 22.5 kilo bag. Beware info is one year old.

I buy TFM plain white bread flour for 32bht/kg ....... 31bht/kg for more than 10 bags .......... (YoK)

United All purpose flour @ 23bht/kg.

How come your bulk price is more than my kilogram price?

Not married to a sex worker, but I care for my wife  her daughter (my daughter) from a previous marriage with a Thai man, who abanoned her, and I do take care of her elderly Mother and Father in Issan.

Me too ....... and this is after my wife has gone (my former Mil, my former wife's daughter, our son).

My (step) daughter has essentially been abandoned by both her worthless Thai parents.

I'm not even getting sex in return for my philanthropy, I have to pay someone else for that.

Got a feeling it is only rural areas

Might be, we were half way between Hang Dong and San Patong near what used to be the CarreFour supermarket.

On a failed housing estate, 100 plots and only 3 houses.

Did your girlfriend have to register as being a low-income family in order to receive the benefit described in the pdf?

 

I just paid 3 electricity bills yesterday, two of them had less than 50 units of use but I still had to pay. In fact, one bill showed 0 units as having been consumed but I had to pay the tax on the monthly service fee (but not the monthly service fee). 

Nope, we did nothing, the bill turned up as normal with all the usual itemised items, then at the bottom, payment due 0.00bht. I think you have to be on the right meter.

Gee buddy if you hate Thais why the interest in Thailand?

Know many that are smart and like farangs.

If they associate with foreigners like you, I'd probably avoid them.

But then I avoid almost everyone equally.

Try these guys:

They have a pretty large selection of everything bakery. They will ship to your location.

200bht/kg seems a bit expensive.

I buy from YoK in ChiangMai for 40bht/kg
