There are power-independent motorhomes in Thailand. Farangs drive them for sexual benefits. The further away you are from the 5-star beach hotels, the better the quality of your girlfriend.

Other readers should learn from this: no formal marriage. Stay in control.

I prefer to buy other things rather than land. Cars for example. Land ownership has a negative impact on one's freedom.

Land and gold are the first to get inflated when there is too much liquidity.

I myself speak a good number of languages. I think it is best to switch between learning methods. With translations for some time, then without. All learning strategies have advantages, but one inevitably tires of any of them.

Probably not worth the effort. Avoiding mistakes is the key, not fixing them later. Just avoid formal marriages, and do not buy property in her name. You will get more love from her, regardless of what she says.

Your best option is with a law office. Compare prices. Pattaya is likely cheapest.

They are starting to print money like crazy all around the world. It may be wise to convert cash into more durable assets, rather than just transferring it.

Lesson learned: avoid formal marriages. The "love" of many women is just trickery to get your signature on a certificate.

Sooner or later, if we do not die earlier, we are all old and ugly, and mentally less fit. It is a good world if at least our money gives us value.

That one for sure: do not buy or build a house in the name of a Thai woman. You are making yourself obsolete.

Thai women are maybe more possession-oriented than women in other countries, and that does not just apply to bar girls. Thai women tend to measure how much you love them by looking at how much money you spend on them, or how many percent of the wealth you have. This does make love a matter that can be mathematically defined, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

What was the advantage getting married?

The students will learn if they feel a need to know.

I may be out of date on this but the last I heard on this subject was that a Thai citizen who wished to transfer funds overseas, could only do so for a number of specific purposes which had to be stated at the time, a previous poster has described some of these reasons.

As I've already said, I'm a Thai citizen, and I transfer money out regularly using BBL and SCB Internet banking.

The BBL Internet bank allows you to set up foreign bank accounts online, choosing from a list of reasons for the transfer. When you then select to pay money to that beneficiary at any time in the future, the reason that you chose during the registration process appears on the remittance.

Using the online form, you can set up as many beneficiaries, each with their own reason, as you like. You can choose from a list of reasons, and there is no verification process to check whether the reason you chose was the actual reason. Once a beneficiary is set up, you can transfer money to it as often as you wish, so long as you stay within your USD 500,000 annual limit.

It really is that easy.

It is allowed to bring cash to Laos. A moneychanger there converts your Baht into USD. Cheaper than banks.
