  1. I call BS for the entire multi biased comment. I would never let my 13 year old, 5 year old, or 18 year old "child" to do harm or even just hit at me nor any other adult as far as that goes. You approve of them beating up on your wife or girl friend as well do you? If you have one, I do pity her surrounded by such violence and dysfunctional family. My sons are fine young men in their early 40's and would never have thought about doing that at any age. They knew better than to do so. Maybe I just am a better parent than you but you can let a 13 year old "child" run all over you if you think that's best for them. You know nothing of an English speaking country, our language, nor particularly any other society it does seem. ASEAN NOW did a fine job of referencing the obvious about ages reported by INN. You don't seem to GET a lot of things.
  2. Personally, I think that being with and the special ability of staying married to a Thai woman is a highly skilled profession as it stands after 10 years of marriage. And the extention should be extended to 10 years each time after doing annual extentions for 10 years straight. It's only fair since a foreign woman already gets special privileges for being married to a Thai man from the start. I wouldn't mind paying for the whole 10 years all at once. The proof of income for most of us on marriage extensions is to have a monthly pension if not showing 400k฿ in our named bank. Showing 10 years of kr22's should be good enough for every further extensions on pensions. Everything else is in Immigration computers. All monthly income should be annually averaged as stated to compensate for varying monthly exchange rates. 480k฿ for the year. It's very discriminating but I understand they want money coming into Thailand. But I can imagine most foriegn women have some short of income or 400k savings. But it's so much easier than getting a Green Card for my wife was back in the USA, less expensive, and a lot more paperwork and photos before getting the final 10 Green Card. But it is Permanant Residence with the advantage of getting a SS Card to work at ANY job qualified for the same as American citizens.
  3. Try growing a pot plant in a bag of cement. Do you add manure or just sand, gravel, and water it every three days? It won't grow a nanometer in concrete. Also it would probably be hard to roll one if it did magically grow. Please, don't give him any ideas.
  4. It looks like a jab may well become as traditionally and routinely given here the same way as whenever one goes to a hospital or clinic where there is a guarantee and expectation that one of the meds bags will definitely be Palla (Paracetamol).
  5. The only thing I want from the American government is to keep increasing the SSA COLA additions each year.
  6. My wife and I both had our 2nd Astras in September. She was called about a Phizer Booster appointment and given a date. She went to the hospital Friday for her appointment to tell them that we will wait. It's not even been 6 months. Always grabing at straws here.
  7. But there are Thai post costs at this time unless the Embassy has started back pick up at the Embassy again.
  8. I wouldn't put myself in that position either, and I have always tried to ban having a dog or cat in the first place. Sometimes hard to do with an American family with pet hearts. You can just guess who had to enforce making sure that they were taken care of, but I never cleaned up any mess. Not my animal. Luckily my now Thai wife, no kids and near same old age, would rather not even have to pet someone else's friendly animal.
  9. What were the 4 choices if you don't mind sharing that Information
  10. Sorry, but I will require a much stronger cup of Tea (hc) then what you are describing or a gallon sized cup at this level of cr@p being authorized. The T:B ratio they are suggesting is not very conducive to my concept for a peace of mind or happiness lifestyle. Maybe for soap or fried leaves. But that is a purpose that could be used on the permit. 555 Marriage with benefits. But we will make sure she's got a box of soap on a looped twig in stock, our trademark with a leaf imprint. Anyone remember the words from a song, "sitten there on that sack o' seeds".
  11. Pollution has long been identified as harmful to trees. Historically, impacts of air pollution were primarily local in scale (trees impacted by a nearby industrial area).Yet today, trees are being affected on both the local and regional scale. Entire urban areas and even rural area trees are experiencing adverse impacts of air pollution. Trees help cleanse the air by reducing levels of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and removing pollutants, while releasing oxygen through photosynthesis . Air pollution directly injures trees by damaging living tissue, primarily foliage, and impairs photosynthesis and the ability to respirate. Air pollutants also weaken trees, predisposing them to further damage by insects and disease. Some air pollutants can also indirectly impact tree health by altering ecosystem processes such as soil chemistry and nutrient cycling. The result is decreased tree vigor and growth that can culminate in tree death. https://www.google.co.th/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://extension.tennessee.edu/publications/Documents/SP657.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjxjKyV5cH0AhUe4XMBHc6JD64QFnoECCkQBQ&usg=AOvVaw2VVJ-vS5tl2dExmZPyxxuq
  12. I am much happier being a Farang in Thailand. Talk about low stress.
  13. What? For free and still pay 500฿ for the privilege to enter Thailand. Or maybe they are both inclusive.
  14. It always seems to be the same rampant repenting state of maturity and intellect responses you get when asking a 5 year old what they want to be when they grow up.
  15. You forget about the very common "Man Purse" just about everyone wears on their shoulder here. I could easily fit 8-10 rolls in mine with no bulge showing, only in my dreams.
  16. 2nd AstraZenica vaccine. 2 hours ago, 27th September. Si Chiang Mai Hospital, Nong Khai Province. No reactions to vaccination so far. Same proficient protocols and same professionalism as the 1st time. I went after their lunch break this time so I was in and out in less than 1 hour.
  17. Remember, no strings attached. In other words do as you please with the donations.
  18. I agree. An American citizen from Laos told me back in America that the word Thai translated to Lao then to English means "thugs". I didn't know if that is true or not. Since we've lived in Thailand I have come to believe him more and more as each year passes. Especially the last two years. Although personally I have always been treated very well in Thailand. There is only one disrespectful $m@rt@$$ wanna be joker in all of the extended Thai family, whom I avoid as much as possible but most simply ignore him. But in perspective, that rarity is far from being a rarity on this forum. So I'll take Thais over farang any day. I'm very greatful to be the only farang living in our village.
