Why are all gofundme beggars religious?

Most of them stop being pretty after about 5 years.

Married Thai ladies have a short shelf life.

True.

My wife's getting ugly, but I blame this on Westernized work environment where she sits in the office all day and eats donuts.

Yes. Everything that someone in a position of power does not like these days is "fake news". A incompetent charlatan comes up with the term, to defend his lack of talent or intellectual prowess, and it has caught on quite mightily with dictators the world over, and his devotees.  

I'm sayin' it's probably just a bunch of Thai hookers.

These kinds of get togethers are reserved for business class, and first class ticket holders, who are very nice to the flight attendants, and pilots, who always have done quite well in this regard. And billionaires. Why such a surprise? Chinese people do not like to have fun too? Who does not like an occasional orgy with flight attendants? Come on guys. Lets get real here. We are talking human nature. Sex is fun. Even flight attendants like to have some fun. It is the false puritanical face of the government, and some people that are pretending to be outraged, that is the only thing that is making this a story. This is NOT a scandal.

Relax. It's probably fake news.

“After reading the essays, I was actually shocked about how high the standard was,” Marshman said. “I really didn’t expect Thais to be able to write that well. I myself could not have written like that. And even most English people cannot match that level. I’m very, very impressed with the English level of Thai students. So I hope that the rest of Thailand can see these students as a great example. And that the rest of the country will also be as interested in English as these students,” she added.

No wonder. 

A paragraph full of errors. 

Come on guys, where are the comments?

Just another story about another scumbag.

Sad.

good find

Canadian dollar hitting new lows every day.

I thought British Pound was bad.

Yay!

I went a few times to Chula. My wife helped me register.

To be honest, wasn't impressed. Misdiagnosis galore. I don't know what's the big deal with that hospital.

He should have "dated" Nong Natt.

I need a hug

I said some, and of course i'm aware that 99% of the retirees spend more than that per month

 

Let's think about what their thoughts were when implementing the retirement visa:

Somebody came up with the idea to give people who want to retire in Thailand a visa option for a long term stay

Then they were thinking about the requirements for this, and came up with the the minimum income of 65k THB, which they thought is a reasonable amount of income somebody should have when he retires here.

After they decided this they were thinking about people who have savings on the bank account, but don't have an active income.

So they made the calculation, that the visa / extension is for a duration of one year, and 65k per month means 800k for this one year, so this was made the minimum requirement.

This does now allow persons who have much less than 65k per month available and savings of just 800k to stay long term in Thailand, but i'm quite sure, back then it was never their intention, their initial thought was that a retiree should have 65k per month.

 

And actually 65k per month is not unreasonable as retiree. I know many people think it's not necessary, and when it is they start begging for help. But what's the cost for a reasonable health insurance if you are 60+? Not less than 20k THB per month. So you have 45k left. 10k to rent a place and 35k for your living expenses, so about 1k THB per day. That's not too much, especially if you have to finance your GF or Wife as well, and don't forget about her family.

 

 

 

I think Thai Visa charging you 1000 baht per word would be a better idea.

Sorry if this is a wrong sub forum.

For any Canadians withdrawing money from a TD bank (as I do) be aware that there will be an increase in forex fees from 2.5% to 3.5% starting May 1st.

It's a pretty outrageous increase, so I am looking for other arrangements.
