  1. If you are able a retirement extension is so much easier than a marriage extension.
  2. I would advise anyone to stay out of the American 'justice' system if at all possible.
  3. I have done some really stupid things during my lifetime and got away with all of them, more or less. At 80, though, there's still time for me to run out of luck.
  4. No way is the biggest business in Thailand about to be stopped no matter what the so-called PM pretends to be concerned about.
  5. Anyway, one thing is for sure, weed does not create aggression in the way that alcohol does, ergo Khao San Rd may be a better place with more pot and less booze.
  6. If in doubt wear a mask and stop moaning.
  7. Adult porn ok if that's something you enjoy, child porn totally unacceptable and those making it should be locked away for a long time.
  8. Not only in Thailand, and it doesn't bother me. Small money after all.
  9. Personally I've never been that bothered about their looks...
  10. I suspect that many more would turn out were it not for the brutal crackdowns of 1973, 1976 and 1990 which proved that the authorities couldn't care less about the lives of ordinary Thai people.
  11. I suffer from asthma but wearing a mask has never bothered me. For the time being I'll continue to wear one outside the home. Not to do so will offend a lot of Thais and it is, after all, their country.
  12. I'm 80 years old and now far more tolerant and understanding of others than when I was younger, so I'm told.
  13. wear a mask, and stop moaning about it.
  14. Using an agent for a simple retirement or marriage visa is a waste of money if you meet the 800k etc requirements. 1900 baht, and a few hours once a year, is all you need to pay to complete the process yourself.
  15. First came to Thailand in 1960 aged 20. Lived here permanently since 1983, apart from a spell of 6 years living and working in Taiwan. I would make only one observation, the nightlife was incomparably better/more fun in the 70s and 80s than anytime since. That is a fact, not an old man's rose-tinted memory. The relationship between foreigners and Thais was far friendlier in those days.
  16. For a number of reasons my first wife and I decided on an abortion when she became pregnant with what would have been our third child 50 years ago. All I can say is that not a day goes by without us wondering what that little life would be like today had we not taken that action.
  17. First came to Bangkok 60 years ago as a 20 year old. Have lived here continuously since 1983, with the exception of a six year break in Taiwan. Still love the place and have no intention to ever leave.
  18. I once stayed with a family in Mumbai who kept a large python in the house as a pet/pest controller. They also had large dogs but no cats. The snake was called Desi and was very friendly.
  19. Wearing a mask has never bothered me. I'll continue to do so outside home.
