  1. Thanks for the unpleasant insult. I'm 80, lived here permanently since 1980, with a 5 year break in Taiwan 1987-1993. Very happy in Thailand, and still have my hair and my teeth although a bit slower these days walking upstairs.
  2. Get a non-O visa based on marriage. Welcome back. Life is still good in Thailand.
  3. My father told me not to come to him with my problems, and to deal with them myself. Best advice anyone ever gave me.
  4. The hospital at which I had my 2 AZ jabs said, requesting confidentiality, that they will contact me after 6 months to arrange a booster.
  5. Wake up. Your own heading said 'Who needs foreign tourists ? ' . Maybe you've forgotten. Anyway, the answer is Thailand needs foreign tourists.
  6. Lithium and Cobalt are horribly difficult to mine, and their reserves are finite. Batteries have a short life and are then scrapped. EVs are a waste of time, money and resources. Hydrogen makes more sense but is difficult to extract from it's source, ie gas. The internal combustion engine is not going to be easy to replace.
  7. Connery sounded like what he was, a truck driver from Glasgow. Nothing wrong with that, but not the guy as portrayed by Ian Fleming.
  8. No. I don't like Craig, no humour. Didn't think much of any of the others either, although Brosnan and Lazenby tolerable.
  9. You don't have to apply at the Rayong office. Maybe not much help now, but last year I renewed at the Nonthaburi office and it was no hassle whatsoever.
  10. Has his confession been witnessed by anyone other than the police ?
  11. It won't happen, but the wife's possible role in this should be thoroughly investigated.
  12. Married to my Thai wife for 38 years. Everything here is in her name. Two exceptions ; two joint bank accounts, and one bank account in my name only for visa extension purposes. In latter case the account content is willed to my wife in the event that I pre-decease her.
  13. A good effort, especially after only 1 year on the ground. Two negative points with which I particularly agree:- 1. Concern for animal welfare. 2. Presence of way too many low class foreigners. ATB.
  14. First visited Thailand in 1961, worked here 1983 to 1986, retired here in 1993. Way too much unwarrented moaning and carping from foreigners these days.
  15. Totally confused. Now he's American, not Australian. The victim has not named him. He's been picked up in a condo in Bangkok, but we were told he was moving around the north east on a motorbike. Something doesn't add up based on reports made so far.
