  1. Apart from some Thai Visa posters who seem either immune to such things nearly ALL the farang I've known married to Thai women have ended up either dead, divorced or abandoned. Sometimes with the kids dumped on him!

    The remaining one farang is in an unhappy marriage with his wife denying him any comfort in the bedroom (I've even heard he has to sleep on the floor)!!!

    Thank my lucky stars I didn't fall for their BS and claptrap.

    Names??

  2. Regardless of her protection hardware configuration, you need to find out exactly where the problem is.

    If you can't do a live tong-test (as I previously recommended), the do a series of resistance tests.

    With the breakers open, measure the resistance across each circuit and look for a low reading.

    You have mentioned that the system isn't earthed. Go outside, tip a bucket of water on the ground and drive in a piece of reo-bar (or preferably an earth stake) 600mm to 1m. Measure the resistance between this bar and each circuit neutral, and again look for a low reading.

    No point in looking for a dead gecko or a water leak until you have at least isolated the circuit.

  3. Biggest load of garbage I have seen in a while, well at least today, maybe if they learnt how to use full stops and comma's it would help
    .

    Indeed. Now, how many sentences are there in the section I quoted above? And how many full stops? And, by the way, you don't use apostrophes to form plurals. Should of lerned his grammer, innit. Better luck next time, eh.

    That should of red "sentence's, apostrophe's, full stop's" and plural's"

    Right it out 100 time's.

  4. And after 31 years she still walks 3 steps behind you, and hangs your washing above hers.

    No, on occasions I do let her walk next to me if she behaves herself. Actually my wife and I can be quite independent of each other and have brought our kids up this way too. Never allow themselves to be totally dependant and have to rely on anyone, always be able to stand on their own 2 feet, as for example what would happen on the day my wife and I are not around anymore.

    I agree with our DP25, if I am out with the wife or any other Thai person, they will the majority of times want to deal with the Thais and not me, sometimes I am stressing to get a word in edgeways. And why I prefer to deal with my affairs on my own. But some farangs I have known are simply unable to do this and as harsh as this may sound have thought to myself, you dozo and these are guys that have lived here for many years, not those new onto the scene.

    I would consider that normal, as would my friends. It seems you keep company with a bunch of slow learners.

  5. Those who sit in public judgement of others are seldom on the moral high ground, and are much more akin to harbouring their own deep rooted insufficiencies that they prefer to hide behind that facade of a self righteous stone thrower.

    I would start worrying more about your own faults rather than preoccupying yourself with other people's lives.

    Not making judgements only curious as to why so many farang guys get themselves into situations where they have to rely on Thais to take care of them and run all their affairs in Thailand. I know one Canadian guy, that after his Thai wife died about a year ago, he became like a fish out of water.

    I also see this a lot when out, in banks, post offices and so on, where the Thai wife or partner is doing all the business and the farang just sitting there looking lost and bewildered with the Thai wife having to do the explaining and translating between the parties.

    can i ask you a question?

    could you speak thai when you got here,?

    no,, so your wife sat with you in the bank, the post office and did your talking translating between parties,

    so you must in them days sat there looking lost and bewilderd

    When I first set foot in Thailand, it felt like landing on another planet, I was well out of the plot. Not only my wife but many of her family and other Thais helped show me the way. I also lost a fortune in the process, getting ripped off by not knowing the ropes and being a gullible fool. Of course we all have to begin somewhere, a little like learning how to drive a car, shaky at first and then like a breath of fresh air once we get the hang of it. Later I began to hate having to ask others to do this and to do that for me, I felt totally useless and could never be happy here in that situation, so decided I wanted to gain some independence for myself and be able to manage my own affairs in Thailand. It took me a while but I was determined and now proud of my achievements in Thailand.

    I have 3 children who would do anything for me, but would never want to become a burden on them, they have their own hectic lives to contend with. Of course I love my wife, but if in the event for whatever reasons she`s not around any more, I would still be able to function here in Thailand and not end up like a fish out of water or require a nice lady like Nancy L to take care of me.

    And I believe this is an example the married guys who intend to stay in Thailand for the long term should follow. It`s beneficial for them and others that are nearest and dearest to them.

    And here`s one for the religious: God helps those who can help themselves or at least try.

    And after 31 years she still walks 3 steps behind you, and hangs your washing above hers.

  6. One advice for New or recently arrived Members to Thailand ... what would that be?

    Don't let all the bitter old dears on Thai Visa talk you into becoming a bitter old dear. You probably came here to enjoy yourself. They won't stop until they've made you as miserable as they are.

    Thank you. Yes I noticed you boys like to have a little slap at each other. I like watching that but it isn't the main reason we are hare. Did you see that there are 8 dear souls following this thread. And most of us are newbies.

    Can you put your little lovers quarrel aside for a minute, and continue?

    Apart from having insurance, not eating yellow snow, not getting killed, using the overpass, and not letting little boys into our room (all of which is obvious); what else is there?

    And then you can get back to your lovers tiff.

  7. Haters are always going to hate ...

    one advice for newbieS: dont belive david48 hes full of BS. alt=clap2.gif> cheesy.gif.pagespeed.ce.HaOxm9--ZvISAZ3- alt=cheesy.gif width=32 height=20>

    Welcome to the forum. Two days in and posting well like a troll returning banned member.

    My advice would be "not every banal thought that enters your head needs to become an object of discussion on social media".

    lannarebirth ... I thought you gone under. Lucky some of us keep this place ticking over. Still a year and a half from a long time member without an OP ... w00t.gif Must be a bitch not having any thoughts.

    NEXT ...

    .

    Oh David, you have an online lover. He can't keep his hands off you, lucky man.

    Please keep the banter going, and make it dirty.

    I know what lannarebirth is thinking.
