How easy is it to fall in love, real love, over 50?
Elkski replied to Grecian's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
"what's love got to do with it, got to do with it?". Tina Turner -
I hope they check his blood for drink driving plus to see if he was using his phone. Why no mention of this in the article? Any normal reporter would ask the police those 2 questions? Also what party was he driving home from. Those directors party! They feel they are high up the ladder or is that closer to the trough. At least his debt isn't a worry.

Second autopsy report on drowned actress expected in two weeks
Elkski replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
Would there have been a first autopsy if she wasn't famous? I don't know what to think about this case but the facts are the Thai people wholeheartedly believe a murder can occur with this many witnesses like this, and money can buy off justice. Some things I think about, she was alive when the leg cut occurred, other boats reported this boat was driving erratic. You don't get cut by the prop falling off the back of a boat, underway, with a swim deck! So this boat probably knew it hit her. -

Sad Thailand is such a country that the first autopsy is in doubt. -
Maybe a rigged meter. I caught one once. Paid what I thought was fair and told him I see the wire.

I'm of age. Like 2x her age. The whole band is energetic, beautiful, can sing and dance. Not my worst IG feeds. -
PM Says He Will Decide if House Should Be Dissolved
Elkski replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I was vacationing in Thailand and reading the paper that can't be named when all the trickery happened days before the constitution was posted to read . I couldn't believe what I was reading and was very sad at the poll results. I guess most Thai voters don't have time or access or ability to read and comprehend a document like the constitution. Voting based on emotion. But I see all this now applies to American voters too so what can I say. -
Not a chance for a tourist visa for your gf. Waste of 165$ to try. I haven't heard the interviewers are rude and I know 4 women's experience. By law the job of government employees is to determine the risk of someone staying in USA. I have no direct experience in the last 3 years. Last attempt was Aug 2018 in middle of orange president and denied. This gf was similar circumstances to your gf except no child and I was not working or living in Thailand. And she had letter from HISO employer of her 20 years employment at one firm. The other 3 were 2016-2017 early in the trump years but they all had money in the bank, houses, careers, kids. The word is 200-300 k in savings is needed. Remember the tourist is supposed to be paying for her pleasure visit. A 2 week visit to USA would easily cost 200,000 baht. Lots of debt is ok along with owning land and a house as one gal was in this situation, but she was govt employee too. My theory is the interview is a check on the attractiveness of the applicant. This helps to determine if they may seek easy money making while on vacation. In your case just try to see how your situation looks to us guys as well as the visa issuer's. USA man with baby with dual citizenship, I assume, and I assume mom is on birth record too. You would highly appear to be bypassing the K1 visa (90 day fiancee) process that's easily taking a year or longer now. Or the CR1 which is if you marry. Which is even longer wait . All government systems in USA SE to be using covid as an excuse for these long wait times. If you do apply I say be honest. You may want to do the k1 or cr1 in future. Maybe your job in Thailand is so amazing and profitable and has long term legs that it would appear you would be stupid to move back to USA on a visit.

Korean company offers to help Hua Hin become a ‘smart city’

So no procurement bidding process? No request for proposals published in public with a selection process? -
Explanation Sought on Alleged Cut in Tangmo’s Head
Elkski replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
The acceptance and understanding by my Thai wife and Thai people that money can control and buy everything is eye opening to me even after I've read about the boss. -
Explanation Sought on Alleged Cut in Tangmo’s Head
Elkski replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Wife keeps up on news and FB. She tells me she has read some of these stars are offered or paid 1 million baht to be an escort to dinner, maybe more is included she didn't know. I can imagine how mad some of these rich spoiled boys/men get if they are declined their offers. Wifey says social media is feeling manager is not looking like a very good friend. She says the word is foul play. I ask how come no one on the boat talking. She says people with money (aka power) and with friends in high and low places are involved, alluding that this is normal and not an unexpected thing in Thailand. 30 million paid by boat owner to mom. Not out of ordinary but mom not fairing well on FB. I can't imagine there are many things to cut you floating in that river other than the massive loads of trash. Plus there is a difference in wounds made after death. Q -
Great, your going to begin that remodel. Is there a remodel thread? I'm the super DIY guy. A real cheap Charlie. Not adverse to hard work. 150usd does sound a bit much for a pickup load. I think that is a price I could hire it out for here in Utah. I did a dump run in my old 91 f250 460 a month ago. Dump fee 10$ drive was 1 hour RT. Probably 25$ in gas. Smell at dump not so good. Masks help. There was risk of a flat tire. Good way to make sure your woman is grounded. In your case maybe find a person with a larger truck so only 1 or 2 loads. If it's old furniture is there a way to donate it and have it hauled off for free? If your choking at this cost I worry when you get to the more skilled trades.

How does the observation of 40 tankers forcast a fuel shortage? More exports heading North than normal?

BKK-INCH-SEA-ANCH (ALASKA) - Covid-19???
Elkski replied to glegolo18's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
Well wishes on her travels. Inchon is a nice airport. Much better than sea. May I inquire on flight cost bkk to sea? -
The government loves distractions like this. Oh was a government officer involved? My questions. How long is this boat? Is it really hard to be aware of all occupants at all times? Did the lighting provide enough privacy for a P? Was the toilet working and clean, or not? Now I hear of strangulation marks. Also it's usually not possible to fall off a moving boats swim platform and get cut by the prop so that means it was another boat or a return pass. What were the results of drug and alcohol tests on all the passengers? Or probably not done because hiso. This case highlights the many things so wrong in Thailand. The infatuation of beauty (heavily modified most times) and tv stardom being #1.

Couldn't figure out how to delete quote box. I think the sin sod tradition remains in tattered strands. When girls dream of their wedding it is highly influenced by advertising. The debeers diamond, white dress, thai dress, or now both. A big sinsod shows her value, the man's wealth and a measure of his love. I think most girls are raised to dream they are worth a big one. It brings face to mom. It's like having an iPhone. It's status. Why do big sin sod amounts show up in media? It was a rocky time for us. I started my negotiations at zero. It turns out my wife was asking for what she perceived her mom would be proud of. I asked her to involve mom in the discussion and mom said she didn't want anything other than her daughter happy. Case closed. Except we haven't been back to Thailand where I am not sure the cost of all the booze and pig will be. Really hate to encourage more village drunkenness. I plan to teach the village how to smoke the pig(s) low and slow BBQ style with lots of smoke flavor. That will be my gift.

I don't understand those who say no way. Mid 40's should have no problem finding mid 30s. If only for dating +. You won't mind if they have a child. Dating sites are not just for working gals. Lots with respectable jobs who can't be seen in bars or don't like smoke and drunks.

I do as well a millions of Thai who know it's a 2 tiered justice system in Thailand. The connected and rich can get away with anything. Thai people including my wife ear this stuff up. She says because she is beautiful and an actress and they suspect rich man gives money to police. All super rich people on board. Even the driver rich. And the ladyboy too. Why was super rich owner there? Sand the one who says she was hand rail and saw the fall is super rich. Probably the poor ones here are manager and Tangmo. I haven't read actual facts regarding ranking military man renting room nearby or his 2 assistants on the boat connection, but wife has. She has with a skeptical view on this because my wife always tries to root for the side of police and military. Even when we watch movies.
