  1. No, No, No! but only one was a woman and the other was a katoey. It's not a derogatory term in Thailand, just as farang is not derogatory. Thai terms for a Thai forum.
  2. They are very wise in their decision. I have many Muslim friends, but their values are different than the Christians and the infidels (someone who does not believe in a particular religion or who holds beliefs that contradict the central tenets of a given faith), And quite frankly, there are factions who believe if you're not Muslim, then you are automatically an infidel.
  3. If you find a contractor here in Thailand who does this type remediation, I'd like to know who they are and where they're located. I tried to find one 4 years ago without any success.
  4. She is 100% correct. Everyone wants to 'help' migrants, but not in my backyard and I agree with her. They should ship them to the EU courts (in Belgium? yes.)
  5. He's probably had that experience in another country. For instance Texas will require you to hand over the Thai license if you are get a Texas license based on the Thai one. I said no and took the written and driver examinations to get my Tx driver's license renewed after letting it expire a few years earlier.
  6. Nah, the cost in the US is absolutely horrendous. I wish him the best, because it's a tough situation. Now, my question is, doesn't the son have a job he needs to go back to in the US? No one needs to answer that. It's just a hypothetical question.
  7. Why would you say "without providing evidence?" At this point in the process, it looks to me that his administrators have provided a lot of evidence. There will be a period of discovery and other investigations. I'm not jumping on any bandwagon or accusing anyone until the courts have had their say. And all of the Asean Now community should do the same. There is no reason to start slinging mud and feces.
  8. What a load of dung. The dem's had 4 years to expose any 'ties' with Trump. They are grasping at anything that they think will slow down the President's agenda.
  9. Learn the words and sing along, too. 👍😎
  10. I suggest flying to KL and back on Air Asia. It was much cheaper than me driving to the border, visa cost there, meal, crazy Thai drivers and the potential of having to dirve in the rain here, this time of year,
  11. I would in less than a heart beat. It's the Hamas, Hezbollah and other Iranian proxies and terrorist to be worried about.
  12. And I thought they had always been illegal for foreigners. Never mind now...
  13. Depends on your pain. I really learned that lesson over the past 7 years. If you've an inflammation you'll need to be using an NSAID (Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) like ibuprofen, Celebrex or Lyrica, which may be available in a much cheaper generic brand. You need to treat the inflammation, but you might also need to treat the pain over and above what the NSAID can provide. Joint pain/ back pain? In my opinion you'll need both. I wish you good success in treating your problem. You should start by seeing a Doctor to determine the cause.
  14. It's cruel in my opinion. Personally, I don't like stray dogs and think they should all be rounded up, put up for adoption, and if not adopted within 6 months, euthanized, 'humanely'.
  15. If it was me, and I had the money, I'd offer to fix the fence. Again, if you've got the money, you could build a parallel fence if the woman won't let you repair. Do not try to poison the dogs. Maybe you should discuss it with your wife and the people who live around this lady to come up with a plan.
  16. This is great news. Always nice to read of a positive news report. I hope the family have an enjoyable time and great memories from this adventure.
  17. I agree with Sheryl and I'm not a Doctor, nor do I believe in running to a Doctor for most ailments, but you need to get you girlfriend in to see a real Doctor and not some clinic on the side of the road, either.
  18. Good for her. I've not really ever seen her work, noticed the tie to Disney or performances, but I'm really happy for her accomplishments and being rewarded for them.
  19. Goodness gracious, Richard. You're a wealth of knowledge. Thanks (I gave you a nice 'love' the reply, too.)
  20. Why, LA? Some of us don't fit in the box that Immigration have told us to use. In my case, I qualify for an extension based on the retirement criteria because of my age, but am not able to stick ฿800,000 in a Thai bank. But, I live in a house that I purchased in my wife's name that's worth over ฿7,000,000 as I'm sure many others here have probably done. Unfortunately the stocks that I own have gone from $20 per share to almost nothing and my wife just couldn't quit spending. I know, it my fault for letting her, but... Anyway my point is that I pay only for the HOA village fees, ฿1,800 per month, electricity and water to live here (not including the food purchases, transportation, etc.). I've enough from Uncle Sam to live on, but I have debts in the US so I take my SSA payments there, then send the rest here, but that's usually only ฿59-60,000 every month. I use an agent because it gives me more flexibility and there is far less hassle or time involved and they're not wasting my time nor theirs, and in the end I think it's better to use one.
