But some are stupid and unjust- most are in fact.

the way things stand it looks like you could be kicked out of Florida too and end up in that supermax that your beloved leader is supporting and wants to build 5 more of.  I am from Australia fortunately but I think if you have been married for an extended time, have step children and or children of your own then its time for Thailand to embrace you as a permanent citizen.  I am the same as you.  Married 38 years, 4 children.  Great to visit and see her family but I don't like feeling the eternal outsider.

So my wife Thai Australian citizen not pay while I do just an Australian citizen when visiting family.  Not a fan of the govt sanctioned dual pricing.

Thanks for that.  I have downloaded a few fonts.  Not all of them work properly though.  Troublesome word is honey น้ำผึ้ง 

Where are all the women? 

Is a Thai wedding by the well off now looking very much like a western wedding?

Last time I was in Phuket and Patong beach was back in 1985.   Basic bungalow on the beach.  I think the only concrete structure back then was the Phuket Hotel.  In town I stayed at the On On Hotel.  Do you think I would notice any difference now?  555

I thought it was the girl friend experience.  I like the idea of the contract though so at

least it's been formalized.

However, it soon revealed a larger network selling unauthorized sex toys and stimulants to an online community of over 90,000 people.

So where can you get authorized sex toys?

Does the tax include Thai nationals earning income from overseas?

I heard her speech about 'going to the border' and her nonsense about 'the Ukraine is a country in Europe next to another country in Europe'

 

Eloquent?

More like mental illness.

We all should be eating camel, goat and deer in Australia as they are feral and in huge numbers.  However try buying and you pay more than for beef or chicken.

As I have discovered 30 days or 60 days you really only get 29 and 59 days.  They count the arrival day as 1 day.

Or take a note from Singapore, recycle which is cheaper and desalinate.

“a permanent visa-free policy“

 

What is a permanent visa free policy?

Entry without requiring a visa until such time as the policy is changed?

 

Free tourist entry visa, good for 90 days?

 

Permanent entry visa free of charge.

 

some combination of the above?

 

I’m unsure why any of them would cause the condo market to boom. It was easy enough for Chinese to get a tourist visa previously and I don’t think the requirements for any other visas have changed. But hey ho, any reason to talk up the housing market is a good reason

 

 

I read it as a permanent stay in Thailand without a visa, for free,  but I think it is actually a permanent policy of a visa free 30 day stay.

I look for a box to put my shopping in but have to be quick in some places, they crush them.

Time to start brewing your own.

What is the legal age for sex in Thailand?

Motorcycle racers wear helmets and full leathers  Can you imagine Thais wearing protective clothing?

A somewhat unfortunate headline to this topic….. suggest revision.

Freudian slip?

abc.net.au/news interviewed Marshall with his take on it.  Interesting quick listen.

Here's hoping.

Gold coins not everywhere.  Coles and Woolies usually not.  Yes trolleys as scrap metal  not worth the hassle here and they would probably not accept them anyway if they had Property of Coles or whatever on them.

Not something I recall seeing is abandoned shopping trolleys in BKK and other cities.  I think they make use of bollards around car parks and security guards watching exits.  Here in Australia, Adelaide to be precise its a common site.  Is this something we can learn from Thailand?

Should I then be offended when Thai people with dark skin put on whitening creme!!!

Keys, watch but no wallet!!

"and stuck a spoon in his mouth to prevent him from chewing his tongue."

That's interesting. No pulse and worried about biting his tongue. Biting tongue is the least of his worries. And yes during a seizure the recommend advice is not to put anything in their mouth. If she is a trained nurse she should have known better. However in a high stress situation things happen.
