  1. About 9 years ago I was staying at a small resort run by an Aussie in Kalasin. It was during Songkhran and they were having a festival. We were the only two foreigners there both married to Thais. They had music blaring. During this one song I told him, "Do you know this song is about Issan men being upset because foreigners are taking their women?" But anyway all the people there were very friendly. One time we were shopping at Makro and I heard two women talking to each other say, "His wife is old." I guess they are used to seeing lots of foreigners with wifes way younger than them. I'm sure a lot of them automatically assume they were hookers too. But most people my wife meets here thinks she was a professor. I guess because of how she dresses. I always worried when walking around with some of our neices and nephews holding hands that people would think I was a child molester.
  2. A lot of trouble over 1,000 baht. I feel sorry for his wife. She must have to put up with a lot of hell. His wife said he had 6 bottles of beer and was very drunk. Plus if she had some drinks the bill is not that bad.
  3. I think 'change my' was supposed to be 'Chiang Mai'. Probably got changed by spell checker without him noticing.
  4. Good advice does not apply here. Those who think they have the 'right of way' are in for a rude awaking here. When driving you have to anticipate people doing the unexpected here.
  5. new regulation stipulates that underwear sniffers must wear a mask, unless they are Thai.
  6. Yes. Need to plant the trees again. That way you have more to burn.
  7. Food court food is mediocre at best. You'll get better and cheaper on the street.
  8. At least half of the power poles in Thailand look like they are ready to topple all by themselves. I'm sure the driver only took out one pole and the others joined in sympathy.
  9. What he meant to say, "This targeted approach ensures that our international guests don't unwittingly want to travel to Thailand."
  10. Once a tourist visa is approved it is typically valid for 10 years. But you can only stay up to 6 months at a time. So if she already has a valid US tourist visa in her passport there should be no problems.

    Allergies

    Most pharmacies carry allergy eye drops. Antazallerge is one of them. There are other brands too. I've been having some eye allergy problems the last few weeks too. I live in Ratchaburi. There are a lot of those trees with yellow flowers in bloom right now. It could be pollen from those. All the burning right now doesn't help either.
  12. Seems like normal behavior here. Nothing to do with hallucinations.
  13. Turn them into bungie jumping poles. The cord could be used to turn a generator while jumping.
  14. That would be a thick wallet. Can hardly carry 30K in mine.
  15. It's not over yet. Have to see what the senate does.
  16. And he only notifited the police after he ran out of money....
  17. The town I live in all the people pushing carts around selling coconut ice cream are myanmar/burmese
