nope, you're wrong. This decision will make it together

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you just say rich Thais don't like to work?

Is your girlfriend the same?

She will expect you to be the "leader" if you know what I mean. You should google the word because that's what better off Thai women will use instead of support.

I had a pretty well off Thai woman in Canada. She still expected me to be the "leader". She dumped me and I'm sour grapes, but I noticed that her husband now is some failed real estate agent and surprise, surprise.... she is a real estate agent too. Sorry, but I am in no business getting someone a job. Good riddance, after all, I guess.

Anyhoo.... I completely understand the rest of your post. I am originally your poorer neighbor from the east of Italy with the same mentality. Bangkok is a joke, but there is something that keeps me here..... the mess....the hypocrisy..... the life. I like the noise unlike the boring, suicidal life in Canada. You being from Italy, you don't have to go back to Canada, but I do. You're lucky.

No biggie, the toiled probably overflowed.

Drove past it today, sad to see the people from the bus on the side of the road. Seems to be a lot of bus fires lately.

Wow.

Safety first

What is important is they are decent people, not lazy, respectful, and without high expense vices like drugs, alcohol and gambling.

Blah, blah, blah..... non lazy, respectful people don't ask for money.

My optimal situation is where I have a handful of really good clients and I just work for them remotely while traveling the globe.

yes. #meetoo

However, the reality is quite different.

I'd venture to guess most digital nomads are living of their parents allowance while getting paid $100-$200 a moth with their  youtube and blogging experiments.

There's one very young guy in Hua Hin... I think he is a video game tester and makes well over 100,000k ($US) a year, however, this is a job he brought from United States.... not something he found while dicking around Thailand.

I have also set up my business in Canada and brought it over. I did it for a few years while still paying tax back home and stopped....as there are "trust" issues once you cross over to a third world country. I'm not saying what I did.... it's with computers but it's not programming.

Anyhoo.... good luck. Like with everything, if you suck at work you won't succeed. 90% of people suck at their work.

The agency worker on the phone didn't seem forthcoming when I asked her if a work permit was provided but "We have to wait to see what the school says on your performance"

Not good. Run away.

And how do you get insurance after the fact?

It doesn't cost $27 a month, that's how much he earns in total per month from his six subscribers :D

He has gained 1 subscriber since I looked earlier in the week, when this story first broke on Facebook - he's now on the heady sum of $32 a month from 7 subscribers.

 

Cool.

Why not just TEFL

This is why I live in Bangkok. In 4 years none of this stuff ever happened to me.

Wow.... I just googled this. The card is a major ripoff - 5.5% forex fee, inactivity fee, reload fee..... bthere is a $20 withrawl fee. I'd take my money and run.

Thing is, card terminals in Thailand can be very picky, so I am not sure if this card would work.

OP here again.   She’s 24.  5years university. 39kg. Fantastic wife and will stick with the gym.  She works out harder than everybody but me.   The idea of increasing her weight with toned muscle will increase her curves and shape. She’s already gorgeous but too skinny.   Nice abs and shapely legs and butt will all be improved and maintained. I included the word “stubborn “ because she doesn’t listen  to my training suggestions (which are based on decades of workouts..) She would listen to an older experienced knowledgeable Thai role model....just about sets and weight amounts and proper muscle isolation techniques) .  It wouldn’t take long.  Actually after the last six days she already looks toned.   But she needs to increase fat and protein... etc.    sorry no bedroom aerobics needed yet but gee thanks for the kind and thoughtful offers.  LOL. We own a second place at the Base.  Perhaps I should simply ask for a thai wife (who’s into fitness )come show her a bit and then grab lunch together.  She doesn’t need any motivation to lose fat or workout.  Just proper techniques in thai.   Thanks for all the suggestions.   

Seems like you got a pet. Keep improving her and she'll find another owner.

So, you'll be ok with first 18 holes then?

I don't see that. Seemed like she was being polite to him by answering and declining his unwanted advances. He was a pest. Who by the way does not sound British to me either. 

 

Not sure what his angle is.

He is selling content on YouTube and Patreon. 

For as low as 27 a month you can get a hidden content on how to pickup prostitutes on Tinder.

There is even a picture of one of his bargirls on patreon with a certain picture in the background.

The guy is as dumb as they come.

Must be pretty embarrassing to be outwitted by a Thai girl in his own "native" language. Is it even English? 

If she's supersized then I'm a pig.

What reviews have you read that are mixed bag? I have stayed in about 40 - 4 and 5 star hotels in Bangkok and every single one was up to par. 

I rarely trust most negative reviews..... especially hotel reviews. A lot of people leaving them are pain in the behind in real life. Of course, some are completely justified.

Hi, my Thai GF ( Age 22 very slim build)) has problem with Acne

Quite odd that you would write something like this.

Like me saying my wife with a nice arse has problem with dandruff.

Good. Track back the credit card payments and jail every single one of the perverts buying this sick shit. I don't personally care where they get prosecuted, simply that they are.

Probably paid by bitcoin.

This ruling has now been changed in many Japanese cities as they probably realised they were fighting a battle they weren't going to win. And this is in a country where the law is enforced rather more strongly than Thailand.

This ruling can be challenged, but every building has the right to ban AirBnb and short term rentals. I know in Toronto short term rentals are allowed, but in my building and many others downtown rentals under 6 months are not allowed. Hence the guests are stuck staying in houses, shared rooms, ghettos and undesirable locations.
