I ask this question because my currency has dropped almost 10% since last year, meaning everything I purchase will cost me 10% more. The above said, if I was to apply for the retirement extension, transferring funds into my Thai bank account would mean a loss of about 75,000 baht compared to last year (October). Just thinking out aloud, using an agent could save me around 50,000 baht, if I'm not mistaken, i.e. until my countries currency picks up, if ever. So what do agents charge for either a retirement extension or a marriage extension all up or is it the same fee ?

Training animals who have been taught from day one that it's ok to go 3-4-5 on 1 might be a little trying as that could turn things around. Just saying, besides, this will always continue, so best to avoid drinking to much and avoid animals looking to gang up on you like a pack of wolves, I have seen it time and time again in person, and yes it's despicable.

Nuff said.

They call this democracy

Have you gone outside to where the compressor is outside when you have turned it on (if possible) depending on the floor level your on. One of our A/C's only blew out air when we turned it on, so when I went outside to the compressor, I saw that the fan spun once turned on, then it turned off, I though it might be a condenser or something like that. I called the local A/C guy who came along, undid the side cover and pulled on the wires, he showed me that they had been chewed through by a mouse, cut them and reconnected them with tap and it started working again, cool air. Cost 400 baht for about an hours work. Worth investigating. Shouldn't your landlord be paying for the repairs ? I mean your renting the condo with the A/C being part of the agreement, so he/she would have to maintain it and or replace it I believe.

I wonder what Buddha must be tinking ?

I'm a believer

I don't know why, but the first thought that entered my mind after reading this story was the movie title:

I suppose one could say he is not the brightest spark, but then again that would depend on whether it's night or day. Som nom nah

So you would prefer Anutin's than Thaksin ? That legal weed surely is doing your brain cells damage, so I suppose you should keep smoking it for Anutins sake.

Will we be seeing pictures of him sleeping on the job and wearing a different expensive watch on a daily basis from his "deceased friends collection". Can't understand why people allow clowns to govern over the age of 60, as they're not the sharpest tools, just have a look at Biden.

I'm so glad you are so woke and don't marry a "bar girl", thus saving her a heck of a lot of future grief living and putting up with you. What's not to get, you fall in love, it happens, bar girl or other title. For the record, 16 years and going strong, 2 kids and the rest is history, happier than a pig in mud. I got it. I get to live in another country that is far more relaxed than my home country and is cheaper by far. I don't have to pay any taxes as a foreign resident and of course don't have to work. What makes for a successful marriage in my books, regardless of a woman's job title, e.g. "bar girl", restaurant waitress etc is the personality of the person your marrying, and as long as you keep your finances separate (support) but do not hand over your finances, then your marriage (business) will continue to succeed, hand it over by wearing your heart on your sleeve, then you are opening yourself up to a possible failure, as others have found out, other have also managed to continue happily, each to their own, and as far as I'm concerned you only invest as much as you're prepared to lose, house, car, bike etc, whereas your investments remain separate for that fall back position if ever. I hope you find your true virgin soon and that she has an income so that you don't have to support her and that it's love at 1st sight, oh and a bit of advice, stay away from bar girls, they're a bad breed, according to the expert who posted this topic EDIT: Have you ever heard of other failed marriages Thai or Western, where guys invested heavily, could you tell us the women's titles, just for the record. Takes two to Tango Charlie.

Um, next time you wish to respond to me, think twice about what your going to write because you know absolute nothing as far as I'm concerned. Now scoot off and go to the temple like a good little falang and make a donation, it will make you feel real good I'm sure. Oh, by the way, wife said (*^^($$*(&)(&($@!@#), cant translate that here, but your just going to have to take my word for it.

If no one here sees this as an add, then they should have another ????

I learn something everyday. This sounds similar e.g. condominiums would be similar to the Strata Title units back in Oz which are bound by the Owners Corporation (Owners). Apartment here would be similar to the old Company Title units back in Oz which would be owning shares in the company. Lenders mostly wouldn't lend on such a title unless the buyer had a huge deposit which would reduce the lenders risk.

Lots of broke farangs here, I'd hate to see what would happen when things turn around and they don't accept the brown envelopes anymore vs going to jail. I know, I know, not going to happen in my life time, but gees, I wouldn't be sleeping well at night knowing that I would have to exit what I call home for xyz years because I didn't have sufficient funds to get myself an annual extension.

To counter some of the above negatives. Some of the positives: 1) Cheap cost of living by far when comparing it to your old country, including women & hotels 2) Cheap annual extension if you do it yourself, i.e. 1900 baht, it's only once a year, 90 days online take all but 2 minutes 3) Netflix, YouTube Music 4) When you accept that most buy their licenses, then you will accept that most drivers don't know how to drive properly, so just be weary and have 1st class insurance and a dash cam 5) Great weather all year round I suppose if you can't handle the above, you can always get a flight back home, then you can post here on the forum what rubbish your tired of there ????

I can tell if one is legit or not from the outcome, remember pieces of paper here can be bought at a price.

Did it 1st start off with her mimicking you, you know like a parrot ????

Your point being ? Actually, don't bother ????

I buy my New Zealand grass fed Rib-Eye & Striploin from Lotus, usually around 149 baht for 160 grams & 180gms, cooked more on the rare side, they are excellent value, but if you overcook them, they will be very chewy.

I did, been twice and prior to that been getting Thai massages for decades at the same place, same lady in Phuket, have had others all around Thailand but, cannot compare. The one I received twice recently is on par to the lady at Phuket, however I believe the massage has aggravated the problem, i.e. I believe that I have sciatica, being in right buttock, but after the massage I am getting a lot of pinching/sharp knife like pains which weren't there before, damned if I know what I have, but believe a Chiropractor or a good Physiotherapist would know how to sort it. The above said, might have to get my old Physiotherapist online back in the old country as they seem to be hard to find. I have done a fair few stretches compliments of YouTubers, which does help, but want to sort it for once and of all, other problem I have is that I can't take anti-inflammatory due to a comorbidity, so it's paracetamol every 4 hours which does help some.

As long as she's pretty, knows how to cook, clean and satisfy this animal on demand, 25 will do me just fine, that said, I would accept anything less in age, but she would have to be legal. Some might argue that we wouldn't have anything in common and my reply would be, who cares ????

Anyone know of a Chiropractor or Physiotherapist in the Udon Thani area ?

If you have transport, yes, Nai Han is one of my favourites, and most beaches along that route are better than swimming at Patong which is disgusting, especially when you see all of the street water and waste run into it at one of the ends of the beach. Again, unless you have transport, not much to see and do at Hua Hin, apart from shopping centres, but outside of Hua Hin, like Ao Manae Bay down at Prachuap Khiri Khan District which is a good hour and a half drive, is a pretty place, but the drivers on the roads are some of the craziest I have come across around Thailand.
