    Ridiculous. Completely missed the point.

    I give up. Have a nice day.
  3. Thingamabob
    Agreed.

    Be better if the RTP stopped following the money and focussed instead on catching murderers, rapists and thieves.
  5. Thingamabob
    Wrong on both counts.

    Not very smart to beg the question at Immigration. Asking for problems for yourself, and for the rest of us

    The dislike of the insurance companies is understandable but the problems with healthcare in the USA start with outrageous fees charged by most hospitals.

    A perfect example of pretentiousness combined with self-importance.

    More fun.
  10. Thingamabob
    More to the point, something seriously wrong with you.

    Correct. and at a time when the people now generally referred to as Palestinians were known as Philistines.

    '...all independent agencies.. ' You must be joking. Either that, or you are uncommonly naive. .

    It is reported that UNRWA are delivering all manner of supplies to Hamas in Palestine. For those with short memories it was Hamas and its' Palestinian supporters who brutally murdered over 1700 Israeli men, women, children and infants on 7 October 2023.

    ...would be fine to most, so-called, Buddhists in Thailand.

    Sounds like a heart problem, given that the pain is down your left side. See a doctor asap, however inconvenient.

    Over the years I have known several highly successful and happy marriages between western foreigners and bar girls. It doesn't do to generalise on such issues.

    In Asian culture generally women are brought up not to refuse a man who is good to them.

    Trump assuming the presidential role well before the handover formalities. Love him or loathe him, he appears to be at ease with, and welcomed by, his fellow heads of state.

    Yabba

    Thingamabob replied to willip's topic in Isaan

    Yabba, ie crystal meth mixed with additives, is indeed a scourge, especially, but not exclusively, in Isaan. It is a stimulant that results in extreme aggression, doubly so if combined with alcohol. It is cheap and readily available. The police should be incentivised to be more active in helping to control it's use. A further thought, if users can't exist without some form of restorative cannabis would be a much less harmful alternative.

    Now 83. In many ways I am happier than I have ever been. Of course, at my age, I am acutely aware that my eventual demise looms closer. However I am lucky to have married a lovely Thai wife 4O years ago, and we are still happy together. My advice would be to try not to dwell on mortality, and make the best possible of whatever each day brings.
  21. Thingamabob
    Far worse ?

    It depends on personal circumstances. In my case I am a retiree, I will not be travelling outside Thailand, and I am happy to permanently leave whatever amount is required in a dedicated bank account, currently 800k baht. A retirement visa works well for me.
  23. Thingamabob
    Well done that man. Good to hear about people caring for animals.
  24. Thingamabob
    Ageist.

    First arrived in Thailand in 1962 aged 21. Business visits and holidays in Thailand during the 1970s, lived and worked here in the 1980s. Retired to Thailand in 1993. Married to a Thai lady for 40 years. Have a nice day.
