Go in as a tourist and have an agent convert to a business one year visa.  Don't have to report your residence, no 90 day reports.  Can have a business, buy property (I think).  Cars expensive in Thailand; 2-3 times as much in Cambodia.  

They have retirement VISAs now, 1 year multi entry for $280-$300 from an agent (inc agent fee).

If your agent is still talking business VISA, find someone else.

lying seems to be the khmer way, more so then thailand. 

I always though of it as a woman thing.

You can't believe any of them, not even your mother.

No regrets at all. In fact feel sorry for those in relationships here and not able to live the dream. Topic heading should be changed to :

Do you regret being stuck with the same woman when living in Pussy Paradise?

Why do you think we're stuck with only the one?

Thailand, land of fooling around.

Still corners - the message.

In the last year, the KHR is 25%, the VND is 20%, the PHP is 14% and the USD is 27% up over the GBP. 

 

Over the last year, highest USD 1.32 lowest 1.25, change = -6%, but currently a 5% drop over the past year.

(6 months ago they were on a par 0% difference)

From XE.com

Where did you get 27%

Agree and now we know about this antibiotic we should refuse to take it as there are others that will do the same job.

I had no adverse reactions at all to a month of Vocin 500 (levofloxacin).

Back to walking 7Km-10Km/day.

I figured maybe this "something" was having that one person that I could count on to accompany me for the remainder of my days. 

There is no such guarantee, women change their minds, all the time, for the most trivial of reasons.

Yes it is red and sore if you touch it.

What type of drugs should be used for this type of problem.

Wikkipedia says Amistroxicilin for cellulitis.

Amoxicillin works fine, unless you leave it too long.

The longer you prevaricate, the worse the infection becomes, and the harder it is to cure.

The 21hrs you have just waited is significant.

There is no such requirement, try another immigration officer.

Or hire an agent to get your extension (which is why they refused you in the first place).

They're nationalist not 'racist'.

They treat people from neighbouring countries who are of the same race as themselves the same as they do us. Using the R word indiscriminately and incorrectly has long made it lose it's real meaning.

If they don't speak, the Thais don't know.
Us white guys are easy marks.

Teerak feels funny as it's boyfriend, as I understand.

You understand wrong, tee Rak = 'one I love' or 'my love'

Removing Prayut alone is not the answer - and certainly not that way. There are, unfortunately, lots of other dinosaurs who would simply step into his shoes, with relish. Only the Thai people can decide what the way forward is - or to go on being yanked back centuries into a feudalist past. It is up to them. Not easy for them (I sympathise hugely) - as all democratic means have effectively been stolen from them (the recent 'election' and its 'result' were the most shocking and heart-breaking example of that) ...

Peaceful methods never change anything.

Long term political change only every comes about from extreme acts of violence.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Have a friend who met a girl 2 years ago.  He fell in love.  Just finished building a house up north and buying a 5 million baht home here in hua hin. Ink  Just heard today he had a slip and fall accident in the bath room and bled out.   I not take my chances.  

At least he wasn't lonely.

I'm quite sure most Thais realize "how" and "why" Prayut formed the government this way.

But they also realize that there is little that they can do about it.

1 bullet is all it takes.
