Odd story. I can see aneakingvin would be good if you planned a nefarious act. Or feared someone was after you and had connections to immigration but dobt most hotels need a passport? And file Tm30s? So we are talking like 6mil USD? Arw rhe Australian and thai parent still together?

I took statistics but no way can 1024 people represent the populace. Why not do 100k? No one I know ever gets polled

Funny it was in the police booth.

I understand the OP. A condo life wouldn't be for me ever. Not sure i would be able to stand the current heat of Thailand. 41 was my warmest experience and i didn't like it. I thought 10 years in dallas and Texas was to hot. Raised in Denver. Many of you talk about doing nothing midday. When I'm in Thailand I think its to hot by 8 am. I want to know how many of your have lived in a dry 4 season climate with matural beauty like Colorado or Utah?. I'll wager a big bet its none to 1. Incredible weather here now. Cool mornings, fresh air, blue skies, never a thought its got and I worked outside most days. When Im in Thailand or here aircon in summer jun-sep must be below 26 or im not going to sleep. Many days recently its been 15c or so in the bedroom in the morning. Down comforter and warm wife feels so good. I guess my only choice living in Thailand would be to try koh Samui on the beach breeze side but not sure that wouldn't get boring. Right now I'm stressing because I want to fish ice off , fly fishing for the whities schooling, hunting morels. Cant do it all. Ski areas still open.

Somewhat related. On one of my firsteeting with a thai GF prospect we ended up in the mattress area of a mall store. I'm always interested in comparing prices. And so many hard mattresses at hotels and home stays. We ended up acting like a couple shopping for a mattress and got full sales service from an otherwise bored sales staff girl. It was a great ice breaker in bed within an hour of meeting a cute professional thai gal. On FB I could see this date did find and marry a farang. One of the sweet ones I found during my search but passed on. One of the did I make mistake ones.

I would not unlock my phone. Guess that means I'm flying back home.

Just jumped to page 9. But wondered why the headline didnt say "Israel risks starting ww3 by bombing embassy. " Happy to see this side of the facts are being discussed.

Because this room is cool. Needs a couple stools and bistro table to hold the beers. It is nice to be told your smart, even if by a Thai wife. Its been yesrs since i spoke to a solar door salesman but last week I did and agreed to have them prepare a design and speel. Typical no tech info payments nearly the same as my power bill for 25 yesrs. 3.5% interest. By that time I would be close to needung6 new shingles and solar bits might start to fail. 420 watt panels. Micro inverters on each panel. Google diagram showed 2 panels in shade of my chimney. It was obvious its all about profit for them. Guy didn't answer my question about efficiency loss. There is an initial panel efficiency warranty. There is a .5% or less drop per year warranty. But he didn't explain the drop well. He used 100% as as a start and didn't answer my real question which was if we start wuth 25% new ans lose .5% esch year what efficiency guarantee do i have when they are 25 years old. Oh the basic numbers were 17 420 panels, cost 45k USD. I think this included a new roof . Which is probably 10k. There would be a 12K USD government tax relief. Our buy back rate from rocky mountain power is not good at all. I would attempt the DIY avenue if I ever go solar.

??? Modified? I bet your wife thinks your brilliant? Love those buss bars. What dimensions are they? They need down time for polishing! Are there any gas releashes from lead carbon? I'm past lifting 77kg things. Where is the overhead crane. What is that shelf structure made of? Have you calculated the efficiency of your total system? Very cool.

Good use of the military. Why aren't they patrolling the Forests? Why not raise the penalty to severe or just pay to relocate these imbicile villagers who think its their right to burn to collect a few mushrooms. I know some mushrooms fruit more after a fire, but is that the case or it just makes it easier to find these types? Any of you expats who chose Thailands areas of poor air quality to retire, and have to change your preferred activities due to air quality, need to reevaluate things. When the long term effects show up it will be to late. Is easy oussy worth it?

There should be no beaches anywhere in the World without public access is how i feel. In fact i hope a service begins that takes people in a day tour of this beach as it would give me a reason to visit the P again. I would have to buy a thong Speedo to walk up and diwn in front if all these houses with my beer belly.

Unfortunately this is the way most police, law breaking expats , politicians and rich feel. Its a changed World with video evidence so often available. I'm disappointed with OMF, he says its just a kick with no lasting injury. Just beish it off . Where do we draw the line? Blood? Broken bones we can see on X-ray? How do you measure mental anguish? The video shows he kicked her in the back unprovoked. He wasn't fearing for his life or anything. It wasn't an accident like he tried to claim. He is a foreigner acting like a HISO. And finally a father who wont sell his daughter. Personal attacks on her physical appearance are in the gutter with trump.

Law enforcement had to be bribed to be willing to lower the charges and try to get her to sign. She refused ,then she was offered a settlement. She has my respect and admiration. Go girl and yrs sge is buck8ng the normal corrupt system where euch people pay their way out of trouble with the help of brown bags to the bib and up the food chain. Lets see what happens.

500 for kicking a preggo and 5000 for showing a willy? 20 years ago holding hands was taboo. As was most PDA. Crazy country but we knew that.

Thailand is 30 yesrs behind ala mykti level marketing and now all the get rich quick digital scams. I had a nurse 6 years who just needed 1 million baht for inventory andvthen she wiukd he rich. Can't recall the product. She told me she had marriage offers by old expats all the time at the hospital. Poor gal was only 40 but had a bad back from all the heavy patients she had to work with.

I actually enjoy drinking 5% beers. Always drink IPA's , 1-2 and not to much of a buzz just a good taste at 5pm. Costs me 18$ (thats 660 baht at 36.7) for 12. Lawnmower beers. you can drink while mowing or working with power tools. Beer quality, price, selection is a strong negative about Thailand. I always preferred Singha ss the least offensive swill in Thailand. Changover is a fact. I used to brew my own 10 gal batches. Was offered a job as brew master from head brewer with owner of Epic brewery sitting there one night. Should have taken the job. It was pre divorce and required a move to my hometown of Denver as they were opening their 2nd brewery with pub in a cool part of Denver china virus shut it down. https://www.denverpost.com/2022/11/09/epic-brewing-closing-denver-rino/ I actually invented low alcohol IPA. Ir so I claim as no one was doing it. It was at this meeting where I proposed brewing a low ABV IPA. Head brewer said no way. He said In Utah everyone is asking for highpoint beers. Now every brewery big or small has a low ABV IPA. Its quite the skill to make a good one because one main character of a good IPA is a large mouthy malt taste. Mmm I made quite a good copy of a famous recipe. SSoS. .https://www.realbeer.com/hops/sister.html Ive thought about firing up my brew pot again but the beer selection is quite excellent compared to 25 years ago, in this mormon place. Plus when I had 5-9 beers on tap I was 5kg heavier than now. 10 more than 5 years ago All hard alcohol here in Utah is sold at state liqour stores. Just recently you can buy < 5% drinks at grocery stores. I'm also a cold beer drinker. Near 1c! Ice in beer is blasphemy. In Thailand I would put my bottle in the ice bucket. Im only an afternoon ir evening drinker except in Sunday I believe you get extra karma if you crack a beer before noon when living here.

Confined by heat is not m6 idea of life. Can always out on more clothes in a cool climate. Outside in fresh air all day now till Oct.

Overweight parties? Who's attending? Thai or foreign guys? To each his own. Wheres this surf board video?

Hey pancake, so your stuck in cambo. Tell how it goes with the ladies? I think the average English proficiency is better than Thailand

Your buddy made two mistakes. Bringing her to dinner with you and your ilk. And for getting buck fever and not just enjoying each day he had with this sexy body. Tell him to go find another. There are hundreds of others.

Actually the best viewing distance is closer than most people think. I designed a home theater room a dozen years ago and studied everything.

3 billion USD? So much money that wants to flow around legal channels. Lots of Russian $ i bet as well as hiso tax dogers.

On my very first short visit to Thailand in 2016 i couldn't understand how thai men accepted sharing their women with foreigners. Of course I since learned how they are like pimps and even saw BF's dropping off their GF's on soi cowboy. And most thai women seen with older Western men were not desired by most thai men. But there has been an uptick in social media of hiso or media influencers with western men. And even large envious wedding celebrations. And of course FB posts of the resulting cute lew kreg children. I'm not sure if some of these younger Western guys had family money or if these extravagant lifestyles are supported by the media income or Thai family money? But if I was a Thai guy with a hard earned degree and seeing the pool of desirable Thai women being taken I would be easily influenced to support politicians that were cracking down on any illegal acrivity or income by a foreigner. I would also support the new tax laws that grab some of this endless money flow some expats seem to have available.

I do think the big pharma and the alcohol geoups have been able ro measure the drop in sales. I inow last xmas time on my trip for 7 weeks i probably consumed 70% less alcohol while in the tourist areas and BKK. And 50% less while in rural areas. I think a pot high is more compatible with the oddities, frustrations, and craziness of Thailand.

I believe this. And the finite degree of color difference they can see is something us Westerners cant understand. In the West the colors go from the darkest black to ghost white. But in Thailand they dont include the black color only the issan Carmel to the Chinese white look. I am thinking i got lots of brownie points by all the times I said i loved her Carmel skin. She so often touches my white skin wishing she could have it. she also worships my pale feet that dont look like wrinkled Hobbit or ape appendages but more like dolphin fins. She also comments positively after meeting a blue eyed or green eyed Westerner. Oh and the small pointy nose that most have she wishes for. I wonder how much of this is feom media and hiw much from pure attraction ? I met so many over 40 Thai moms or ladies who were dumped by thai men ir didn't out up with the mia noi concept. .They had sworn off thai men. And yes there was a lot of pent up sexual desire that just took a spark. I also think the fit between Western men and petite thai women is perfect for both.
