No, I did not. You have misunderstood what I said. I said "assets" and I refer to things of value other than spreading their legs.
In post #103, I said, "I am always amazed at the numbers of men who accept a wife who is only an expense and never an asset."
In post #107 I said,, " I was referring to choosing a woman who brings something to the relationship rather than choosing one who brings nothing other than her body."
And, in post #107, I said, "why do so many men accept a relationship with women who bring so little to that relationship?"
For example, my wife of almost 40 years provides great counsel; because she is intelligent, capable and has OUR best interests at heart--that is a great asset. I can also always count on her to do what is best for us, not just for her. She has always taken care of me in all ways. And, for the most prurient of you; she is still a very attractive woman--according to our 32 year old son's male friends. And, even though she was not wealthy when we met, she was eager to learn. She wanted to make something of herself. I did not need to encourage her to go to school, gain marketable skills and have a good career; she wanted it for our family.
Those are great assets.
And ones which many women have. They are also generalky only known to those closest to them or in a relationship with them.
Unlike you, who judges and sees only what he wants to see and insults women and other peoples relationships with your baseless assumptions.

Sorry OP but you got the wrong gal. Got fleeced and then sort any excuse to jump ship and justify it.
If it helps you sleep better so be it.
For me, you gave in far too easily and made no attempt to make it work. If you want something you find a way, deal with it, not runaway back "home".
Thailand and its minor challenges is not the place for you, thats clear.
(IMHO)

If you don't have 15 grand in the bank you have no business getting married and having a family. This thread is about no income letters forcing people to leave. I know of none. Do you?
by marcusarelusThis is a very unfair comment to make against alot of members and expats in this country. Some of these have a perfectly good income to support a family they have built and want to stay with their family and through no fault of their own that possibility to demonstate their income in an acceptable way to immigration which is currently ONLY by Embassy letter has/will be withdrawn soon.-

Seems to me you have all the answers and wont listen to anyone, That speaks as to your refusal to compromise on any of this issue.
You scream injustice and abuse and yet you are responsible for the situation as much as anyone. It takes to sides, there are two sodes to every story and you continually and repeatedly hurl abuse at their activities and behaviour, when your own is comparable !
Try putting the children first and what they may want, and it isnt warring parents, or you trying to drive a wedge between them all screaming at authorities for intervention and threatening them when you visit. How do you think that makes the kids feel being put in the middle like that ? Grow up !! and try to rech a compromise, try to heal atleast partially the rift, its not about what YOU want,
You should be doing whatever it takes, swallow your pride eat crap whatever it takes to reach a resolution and/or a compromise somewhere instead of looking who is to blame and trying to make them at fault no matter what.
Quit being part of the problem and start being the solution, for the children, not a constant embarrassment "Farang" that will be ostricized by the family.
You are the one that needs the expert help and guidance! because you are blinded by your emotions and have become very bitter and totally unbalanced in your approach.

Can you think of anything else he might have meant? Share, please.
Yes, an O-A Retirement visa obtained in the home country. An entirely different thing and different requirements. (AFAIK)
-
AFAIK and assuming you mean "extension based on retirement" The minute you left your extension was dead ! Without a re-entry permit that is now spent and you have to start all over again.
(Hope for your sake I'm wrong)
You should always get the "re-entry" when the "Extension based on retirement" is issued and that avoids any issues when and if you want to travel.

As westerners we may all be gulty of a little "taken for granted" with things like water supply.
Many of us live in rural areas and have water supplied by the "moo bahn".Some may have in line filtration before the water is stored in a tank and pumped throughout the home.
When was the last time you checked your water inlet pipe ?? We had cause to check ours today because of very slow flow. We assumed it was due to supply being low or whatever but we checked the supply where it spurs into our property and that was fine. Next was the water meter, somewhat scaled up and we changed it anyway. Next was the pipe ftom the meter to the filter. WOW!!!
We had the shock of our lives at what we found.......
Look at this...........and thats supposedly filtered by the local authority ???????
If you havnt looked in awhile and taken it for granted GO CHECK IT NOW !!

All innocent misunderstanding ......this guy was riding his PINK "hello kittty" bike as its the only pink pussy he's likely to get.
He was asked by passer-by if he had a pink helmet too? and was just proving he did !
Simple misunderstanding officer.??

So here's my take on this story , A guy meets a woman, she has her own house, good job and her life is all good. She gets involved with a guy and moves him in. Perhaps he was her "trophy ferang" ?(role reversal) Anyway, he doesnt pay any rent and she doesn't want him to as that way he can't make any claims and she's totally in control. Smart lady !.
Time moves on she's paying for most things but after a few years the "shine" and novelty has worn off, they can't really communicate and have deep discussions etc. Slowly but surely they drift apart. She realises that if he went maybe she could do better as he isnt improving or helping her life in any way (nothing to lose) and would have no impact financially so time he left.
He retreats to Canada nowhere near friends or family to lick his wounds and try to convince himself it wasnt his fault and to fight the regret, but then vents his frustration, and battered ego by "Thai-bashing" and bitter remarks.
You need to let it go and move on mate as your in deep denial in my opinion.
Best of luck, never easy to start again.

It never fails to amaze and sadden me as to how people view someones difficulty or problem as an opportunity to riducule and attack them.
A guy comes on here with genuine concern and worry about a situation he has no control over (currency value) and people are so quick to attack. This is the problem with disconnected online forums. People dont see the elderly man or his expressions and the hurtful effect the words may be having, its just words on a screen.
You dont respect his feelings or position in any way. People say things that if it were "face to face" so to speak they (hopefully) wouldnt dream of saying. To a younger man it would probably result in a "smack in the mouth". So please before you hit that "submit" button just show a little empathy and try helping for a change instead of making someone sorry they asked for help or guidance with a situation.
There but for the grace of God could be anyone of us, to face those concerns late in life in my opinion must be quite frightening and certainly doesnt warrant the comments made by some.
Just think about the effect you may have on others and have a little compassion and dial it back a bit.

Probably no new posts in it since it is closed to posting new topics. There is no button to post a new topic on the forum.
@Jonathan Fairfield could you have a look at this topic.
Which proves my point, why have it all if no one is doing anything with it for the last two years !! Housekeeping required ?

www.thaivisa.com/forum/forum/151-buy-or-sell-a-thai-business/
The above forum has all but three topics locked and those are all 5yr old.
The remaining 3 topics are 2/3/4 yrs old. What's the point in this forum existing at all ?? Clearly no one uses it and what is visible is no use to anyone as its way out of reasonable date.

Drill bits are normally gauged to a slenderness ratio, so you will notice the smaller they are the shorter they are. I have put some off centre pressure on long drills and they snap like chocolate.
I get frustrated with the same problem sometimes trying to get the chuck to grip onto 1mm for some extra length.
is drilling 50mm into each side an option for you?
Unfortunately no.
Its only accessible from one direction. Thats what bothers me with these 12 inch/ 300 mm drills I have found online, they seem like a "snap" waiting to happen. 100mm would be ideal.
I did wonder if the hex drive drills were any longer ?? An extra inch on that hex drive shaft might do it ?
-
As I said I tried locally which included Global, Homepro and thaiwatsadu. and a few mom & pop builders merchant type shops.
None of them had anything other than standard.
-
Hey Guys - anyone out there know where I can get longer drill bits ?
I specifically need a 4mm wood bit that is longer than the usual 50mm.
Ideally 100mm length. No luck locally, Lazada had some in China but that was all I could find.
Online purchase in Thailand if possible I dont want to wait weeks buying overseas.
Thanks

I paid 500 baht from the city to Don Muang today and it took 30 mins with expressway.
Krabi airport to Aonang is 600 and its 30 mins
Hardly treble the price
You must have been either ripped off or stuck in traffic but that was your experience, not mine.

Why are the prices so damn high from Krabi Airport ?
Half the distance and nearly treble the price compared to Bangkok Taxi ??
Or is this just typical for the Krabi Airport ?

I'm off to Phuket in three weeks and I'd rather drive 45 minutes north of here and get a plane direct to DMK than catch the 4 1/2 hour bus trip - I'm not leaving my car in car park for over week, the cost is exorbitant - to Future and then cab it to Don Muang.
That said, there still isn't an official price available for the flights.The price is 2k each way if i recall but I will get that confirmed when I eventually find out who the hell to contact about booking it.
Last time I got the bus to Mochit took 6hrs !! Big difference for 2 @ 552 baht each way by bus or 4k each way by air.

Sorry. Just replied to your earlier post.
I only made it as far north as Makro yesterday (I'm from just south of Nong Phai) and didn't see the signs.
When's the Grand Opening? In Thai time, obviosuly 555.From memory its tomorrow the 2nd.If you continue into Phetchabun and on the opposite side of the road to the Kosit Hill hotel is a huge sign advertising.
I intend to take a drive into the airport to see what info is available there.

Its a shame you have taken things so badly and chose to insult those trying to help you.
You said "if you are not good, not professional, you will need to do your very best to at least look the part."
well, you dont, and it doesnt look professional at all ! It looks like someone just discovering how to build a website and playing with new toys like the highlighter pen.
You said "Never mind the wix footer on top "
Well a "footer" is supposed to be just that, so saying its on top and never mind makes you look silly and proves you dont know what you are doing or are very new to it.
You dont have your own domain, you dont use a company name in that domain, you dont build the website you use a wix sitebuilder, which is like lego ! Then claim to be a proffesional ?
Thats like just learning to play with a Lego set and claiming to be a Builder of shopping malls.
None of the links work on your site, the images are not optimised, its 4mb which is huge for a splash page, the Google score is well below average, other tests it barely makes a grade D and thats not my score its industry standard tests. I could go on but thete is clearly no point.
If you cant handle truthful constructive feedback dont ask the question. To insult people in that way shows a lack of maturity and professionalism.
I get it that you are proud of what you achieved but you are far far away from being even slightly "professional" or claiming to know web design or SEO.
Perhaps its all just an advert and you pass work to others that can do it, like drop shipping. But based on the presentation, E for effort and you are no "magician" as stated, unless that refers to it all being an illusion !
Best of luck with your venture.
Now you can throw your toys out of the pram ! and hurl insults back.
