What is a good room filter to buy? Where to buy? How much. Near Thonglor would be nice. I think this news would erase millions in tourist advertising baht. And hard to recover from. How many cancellations will there be? This news just before High season is not good. PS . you cannot see PM 2.5 so you cannot judge this by the visual quality of the air.
P 95 MASKS From USA to big for thai women

Better buy more crowd control military junk to use against the uprising that you know is coming.

Ben, what are you wanting? She was probably dating other guys or had several lovely conversations going when you met. Some maybe living in other countries and planning to visit her. Maybe their lives look better than yours? If your working in BKK and so young it's hard to imagine you could compete with an older man in terms of support. Remember in thailand support is a big part of love.
I had a gal here in USA who asked me on the second date am I going to stop using the dating site I met her on? I felt like I could do better and I told her I was not closing my account. She stuck around until I took a roadtrip to the Pacific NW without her. I actually didn't see anyone on that trip. I just needed a trip and to be single in case. Just enjoy life. Safe sex. When you find the right one you will latch on and the other will join you or hurt you.

This is not acceptable in today's world. Wake up my man. I'm thinking they had bacardi 151 rum at the party or some high proof shine and tricked these girls. Maybe these guys are used to carrying home passed out girls. But 1 finally died. this story is followed by the thai people. Justice must be fair and swift. But hiso are involved.

Yes normal. And can be like 50% of earnings and sometimes only one child of3-4 seems to happily take on this burden.

Why? A uprising expected?
-
Yes you had to have your hat on to read this convoluted story. I'm a bit confused also. so is the son the second fins failed finish? This woman sounds like a doozy and her family sounds like they're in on it. what was the second fin doing building a house for them?

I have taken 7 trips to Thailand and VN in last 3 years. 150 + days. Never deterred by any woman. Maybe that's because I'm not caught and married yet. Kids on their own, retirement near, what else is there in life besides sex?

I dont think it's so easy. Glad all you married guys living in Thailand were successful but for a guy in USA it's not so easy unless woman has money and good looking life in Thailand. 3 gals got it but they had income , either lots of money or debt and good jobs or retired government. Last one no. No debt but less than 100 k savings amd no assets.

I think USA needs to become as hard on thais and all visa overstayers as Thailand has done. Thai people are not refugees or asylum seekers.

Almost impossible to get a parasite from a freshly cooked meal. More likely from sushi, undercooked fish or meat. From contaminated water or unwashed fruit, vegetable salad.
They dragged going to doctors and getting just a simple antibiotic for 4 weeks. Over the last 2 years their infection spread, should be treated as soon as they got their first symptoms without affecting their lifes.
On the first visit to doctors they should point out that they came back from a tropical country and a simple laboratory test will show this parasite.
The story smell fake, hard to believe their delayed treatment and doctors incompetence
You very ignorant and maybe you need to go see a doctor. It wasn't infection. It was a parasite. I had a buddy who had a similar life experience. He competed in China. Many doctor visits but finally he self diagnosed and found as doctor who would listen. Some rare parasite that western doctors never learn about.

I used to read these pages and have kept up a lot because I've been running an old Droid turbo 4 year old model that just can't keep up with all the apps and it's constantly full of pictures. I have been paying the warranty here in Utah with Verizon so I have got a couple of new phones in the last year, the same model unfortunately. The first warranty phone had as bad a battery life as mine. the second one I had a battery that last most of the day but it's front camera is all full of dust just not very good for line conversations. Plus it locks up all the time and gets hot and time for new phone. I'm not one who always needs the latest and greatest and one problem is trying to buy a phone that will work for Verizon. Anyway I thought I would update everyone and say I bought a used S9 plus yesterday in excellent condition for about 11,500 baht. It came with the cordless charger. Boxes. I am pretty sure I am going to enjoy the new cameras and this phone is going to be so fast compared to my old one I think maybe you could consider this a mid-range phone and the price isn't too bad compared to what you guys are buying. I watched eBay and you can even buy brand new ones for about 12,000-12,500 or so

4:30 am means no traffic. One needs no data except a drive up that road to see death is a high risk if there is much traffic and poor lighting.

How old is the OP or do I need to check his bio. Congrats man. Still chasing tail.

When people ask me about Thailand and say they want to go someday I tell them the beer is the same price or more than bar here or a grocery store here and it tastes like shit. I tell them the beaches are disgustingly filthy they cannot believe how much trash the hotel staff has to clean up the beach everyday or it looks like a garbage dump. I tell them a scuba diving has been destroyed and overfished. I tell them the place is overrun with Chinese tourists groups who speaks so loud. I really wished I would have travel to Thailand 20 years ago because there is no doubt I missed the good old days. Chinese just started coming to Thailand they say only 5% of Chinese have passports. well I think Thailand has basically burned their bridge with the Chinese because social media is how things work now and I'm sure many Chinese are relating horror stories. Greed and corruption.

My experience is 3 Thai women got 10 yr visas pre tRump but one was rejected last September 2018 I've read they only give out 10 year visas because reapplications of shorter-term visas were too much work load for the government.
Yes there was a difference in the last woman than the other 3. The first three all owned houses. One was a teacher with lots of debt and two children. One had hiso connections, kids, and money. One was retired nurse with money, no kids. The last one has 17 years at one company, no house or land, no money, no debt, is very attractive. In all four cases the fact that they knew me in America was kept secret. On this last case I may have made a mistake when I paid in person for the application fee. The bank made me sign the receipt which you take to your interview. So if they looked there was an American man's name having paid for the application. The last ones English skills , while decent , were the least of the four. I really do think looks have something to do with it.

But some rat traps. I see the wire metal box traps for sale at many stores. Or the glue pads. Google rat traps. It's fun. I ate rat near udon thani. I guess it was a real delicacy. I grossed out on the tail bits. It was cooked in a stew. Skin still on and bones. I watched the road side lady take the rat over to the hot coals and burn off the fur. I rather eat than insects. I guess many people set snare traps on rice paddies near harvest time for extra money. The Forest rats fetch top $.

UPDATE:
I asked my girlfriend exactly who asked you how much money I send?
it turns out it was only two people, one , a customer who happened to be at her work when I stopped by one day to take her for lunch. This women had three children from a Thai man. They are now divorced. but I guess earlier she had an American man who sent her 30 to 50 thousand a month. Evidently he was smart enough to dump her before marriage. And one young coworker who isn't really friends. So it turns out it is really not her friends or coworkers or family. Just this a couple with possible pasts as sex working gal.

Why do Thai people ask my GF how much $ I send her?
more to the point why do you send her $ ?
Please just leave my thread.
I really despise people who post on threads when they obviously haven't read the thread.
I don't send her money. so just leave and stop bickering go take your rich life somewhere else.

I don't want to start sending her any monthly amount. We have already talked about a prenuptial agreement. We have talked about sin sod and of course all Thai women must dream of the moon for face. she mainly wanted so much to make her mother happy but when her mother said she did not want any then we settled on something that would look respectful but not bother me very much. But this thread isn't really about my relationship or if this woman is good or not.
SenorJorge , I can see how you were scammed by a factory worker many men have been scammed. sorry about your best friend tomorrow is a new day and maybe someday you will get back on the horse and find a wonderful woman for the rest of your days don't give up. My thinking is enjoy each day and hopefully they are good and if things go bad you find something better.

She is different than anyone I met. Good in some ways but also stubborn and set in her ways like some have expressed over 40 women can be. Could I have fun with 25 yr olds on my visits? Maybe but I never sought out such young. I rarely went in any bars in Thailand. When I did go into crazy house of course I saw some beautiful young women and mothers. but just like my home country I don't date those kind of women.
The main point I thought that this thread would make is that Thai people only value foreigners for 2 things: their money and if they can get them out of Thailand to their home country where they think life is like candyland.

Unfortunately, no matter how long you are with them, you are always a 'customer' in their eyes. Even the non-p4p Thai ladies look at things this way. They can't or won't tell their Thai friends that I get little or nothing monthly but I stay with him because I love him. Different culture, different people. If they tell their Thai family/friends that they get nothing monthly then the usually reply is "why you want to stay with farng?". It doesn't make them bad or evil, just different than their western counterparts. Just my opinion. Maybe yours is different. lol.
I think this is the best response to the OP question. Support= love. Stability and support for her and mom.
I think there are some very conservative, women with good morals in Thailand.
Thanks for all the love life advice guys but nothing I haven't read before.
The beer bin Thailand is not very good. It's so nice to return home to a great selection of IPA's for under 90 baht at the store.
Senor frog it seems you have played with two bar girls and they won. Didn't you read all the dangers first. Okay with fire get burned. I'm sure PH bar girls are different. Not!

actually that is my plan to get a condo and live together for two or three months and see how that goes before we decide anything more but I have already done this for 1 + 3 weeks many times

Haha. 555
I come back and did not expect three pages so quickly. I've been to Thailand many times I'm not a newbie don't have pity on me. I'm the most skeptical analytical suspicious man there is. I have read about all the tricks in the book. I do not send her money monthly. I have bought her a few gifts and brought her some gifts and paid for an English class. I have seen her five different times in the last 18 months. She has a regular job in the medical industry not high up in the pay scale but not the poorest bloke in the world. She has no debt, but also no assets. She is over the hill , over 40, but still very beautiful and unbelievably I was her first boyfriend. Don't give me the lecture it may or may not be true but it doesn't matter to me. She does not go to any bars, her friends do not go to bars. I know the advice is to rent not buy. I'm only 58 and a half. I could easily come to Thailand and have fun for 5 years and then still find a nice young woman but I feel this one is special and I'm not getting married yet. Time is on my side no rush. I can understand why a man who cooks and cleans
sounds like a cheap Charlie and that is what I am actually.
Oh no kids. And one time talking about support, because her co workers kept asking, i asked what would be a good #. 10,000 came up as ok but 20,000 # was also mentioned. I know support = love in Thailand.
I've met many Thai women before her. She is special. We met outside emporium. When I saw her I just had to go talk to her. Then a few days later I went to her workplace. and after 3 weeks of travels around Thailand and I came back and asked her on a date. She has never been on a dating site.
But this really isn't about me and her or prostitutes or women on the take. If she's on the take she's in the long game looking for a green card in the USA or something. I consider myself a above average poker player.
It just seemed weird to ask how much does your Foreigner boyfriend send each month? It's like a measure of how good of a boyfriend did you catch. Why don't they ask how good the sex is or how nice he is or something else?

Friends coming soon
in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

Are the Chinese required to show 20,000.?. This requirement shows the greed and the fact that thailand only wants people's money. I can walk into any casino in America and they don't care how much money I have at the door. In this day and age with ATM machines and venmo PayPal this requirement is dated and stupid and represents the greedy stupid thinking of Thai government.
