There's a Spanish chef down in Koh Samui who can show your ' friend ' how to do that.

You will waste money in you marry a Thai and invest in land and property. Stick to girlfriends.

Some of these guys have yet to realize that this is the Thai way of establishing a ' pension pot ' in case anything goes wrong with the marriage, which it usually does. They are no fools when it comes to MONEY

Seems a bit overkill, you had a full health check in the USA and then go to Thailand for six months, that's sensible. so why do you need another full medical three months into your trip in Thailand, when you have just had a full US medical four months previously?

Not enough pockets unless they are really modernizing and going cashless.

NOPE!

I remember an old Aussie guy years ago in the late 90s who used to take ' trade ' back to his condo and he had a bit of a crafty gem to save money. What he used to do was buy the cheap fake gold stuff on a roll and get them to cut it down and fit clasps on it. A lot of ladyboys do it for costume jewelry. He then would do the ditty deed and make his excuses to go for a shower. He would purposefully leave the gold bracelet or necklace in a fairly conspicuous but not overly obvious place, and take his time in the shower. On many occasions when he came out of the shower he would find the person gone as well as the bracelet never to be seen again. They didn't have the cheek to return. He got away with it for quite a while until word got around!

Agreed, And a lot of tourists are well read on the subject of lady-boys these days and don't fall for it which tends to ruffle the feathers of the transvestites even more. They are a nasty bunch with limited job opportunities and many of them actually prefer thieving and cheating and then relying on themselves outnumbering the ' lone ' tourists to steal and cause mayhem. They are a scourge and a blot on the landscape and certainly do not add anything to the tourist areas. They are not colorful, funny or mysterious as they used to be in days of old, when they were somewhat an enigma, they are now just lowlife criminals by and large.

That would be Anglo Saxons not Anglo Celts, which is where most of my descendants are from. Indeed most people who are British that can trace their roots back are Anglo Celts.. It bis common for many to refer to themselves as Anglo Saxons when they are really Anglo Celts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Celtic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Saxons

Yes, And it's a hell of a leap by some even to suggest it. More like drunkenness or mental issues or far more severe drugs.

and put gun turrets on the top of it with searchlights.

I think the best way is as suggested and that is to buy a speaker and play loud music in her direction every time she starts shouting on the phone. If the Police arrive tell them the problems with her. Don't forget your budgie smugglers and factor 2 when you are sunbathing in the garden. Fight fire with fire.

Buy a Rottweiler!

If you are having big problems then don't you think your potential renters would too? They won't want to rent for long if its as bad as you say and yoiu have a cuckoo neighbor.

No, it's one way of avoiding giving the money back. It was the debtor.

I suppose luck of the draw with policemen on the day.

They have!

At least he has one nice face. His watch face.

We have to do all this farce every year for a retirement extension with countless signed A4 useless xerox copies and then when you go to the ATM it wants to know if you want the cash slip to save paper!!

They do the same down the road in Kalasin city. They want to see that you haven't gone below the 400K and that you have followed the rules about 2 months before having 800K in the bank. They did it to me last year so this year I was prepared.

How do you know, nobody cares?

It was sarcasm, did it go over your head?

Agreed. Just a natural extension of what they do in the village with the added bonus of cash.

Bad guys in, good guys out.

Romance scams, boiler rooms, online gambling, thieving, call centers. Opportunities are endless.
