You have those who work at road construction who can not sell the wood, but they take orders for furniture, and thats how they make it legal, as well those carpenters who buy old houses, and make great furniture and kitchen from the old wood. Our neighbors in Hua Hin got a new kitchen built by one, and from what I could see, great work. You need to ask around,

You will make your gf/wife proud and happy, and make a happy life with no complications at all. Just carry on as you do, what can possible go wrong? Omg

Many westerns who come to thailand first time, seems to be stuck with first girl they meet in the bar or one of the first meetings, so what to expect? I would say, if you use your brain and your gut, there is many signs a girl is no good, even she is trying hard to convince you she is not like that. One to look out for, who constantly saying Im not like that, and love to tell what everyone else in the bar doing, but she is not. Most likely what she does. I do not understand what people thinking when picking girls from the bars, and expecting to have found gold after a few meetings and a few holidays, it takes years living together to find out if you two fit together and can live happy together, and it is not just up to her. For a girl bringing her future husband back to the village, it is a culture crash, where we foreigners do alot of mistakes, living with them in tourist areas without their family, many of them get bored and lonely and hard to get friends outside the bar environment which is also toxic, and last bring them to your home country? Well good luck, their image of rich westerns fade quickly, since they only seen the sunshine pictures and stories from their friends on social media, far away from the reality. You need strong bonds with your gf to succeed, and that takes some work from both of you. If you are not sure, you are sure! Last but maybe most important, if they have children, they make sure you bond with their child, and thats where many men become trapped, and start making excuses for not leaving a toxic woman.

You must be fun to be around

You can have a carpenter to make you a table.

I guess experiences do something with you, and I do not deny money is important and many Thais are greedy, especially in tourist areas against us foreigners. And then you experience those who help you, and do not want to take one baht from you, and it happens more often outside typical tourist areas. They also help you when buying stuff, warn you when the price is to high, and when your parents in law protects you from spending your money to, by setting example, helping your wife and never asked for anything. You park your car dirty, you come back and it is clean, they stay at our land 24/7 when we are not there and ask nothing in return. I pay them for their work, when they work of course, and also support them when they need something, but I have never been asked give money. When grandma needed a hospital bed home, we all contributed, and nobody expected the falang to pay The 6 500,- bath, which I could have done if I was asked by my wife. And those who think only falang being taken for a ride, thais is not protected from their own, they are extorted as much as foreigners.

We got our first 7/11 about 700 meter away now. Most of all, it is a great base for us, and she have her family 5 min down the road. We travel together quite often, and I also leave for work abroad. I could not invest there if I would become stuck, and I have other plans after 70 years old, but that is 16 years down the road, so those plans might change before that time. I also enjoy working on our farm when Im there and care for our animals as well.

Im quite sure they legally can not remove him physically, but I guess the right team will do it for you. If she owns the appartment, and the management is willing to help, there is an easy task, just change the locks, pack up his things and give him a time to pick it up. It should be possible to deny him to enter the condominium also, if he doesnt have his name on the appartment, but physically trow him out, is a police job. Not much to find on google If the tenant refuses to leave after the contract and/or the notice to vacate expires, the police can be called upon to forcibly remove the tenant. Landlords are not allowed to take abandoned appliances and furniture as compensation for unpaid rent and damages https://www.globalpropertyguide.com/Asia/Thailand/Landlord-and-Tenant

Cheap land and cheap house far away from Neighbors, a chef, cleaner and a younger loving wife, home bread and homegrown food and fresh air most of the year. Alot of space for toys and things That should sums it up + after 10 year a cheap rent and service included.

Security have no power, and it should be the police after court order remove him. If she owns the appartment, why dont she just change the locks? Court order can take time.

Never told her how much real estate dept I have ????

Thats quite a bold statement? So no environmental influence or damage at all? ???? We are pretty much brainwashed inside out, and to be true, even the truth spoken here about Thai women, or Isaan, is based mostly on what we heard, and when what we heard fits with our own experiences it becomes a truth. What we have in common, our women searched out western men, out of few reasons for instance lack of trust in Thai men being one strong reason, and not so far from many western men who search Thai women. We got the financial resources thats what differs us in most cases.

Well, there is a difference from getting your pride and face slammed to blow your head off with both triggers at the same time. What I said, I give her trust, but not access to all my savings and assets. If she is not satisfied with my contribution or Im not satisfied with her effort, the relationship or marriage will soon end. There is a limit for everything, but as long we manage to keep a healthy relationship with the resources we have, why complain and mistrust each other? From experience, we know when something is not right, and useally it takes awhile before you understand whats going on, but being paranoid doesnt help much either. As said many times by to many, but some never listen to, never invest more than you are willing to walk away from.

and stupid me leave everything to wife I transfer monthly to Thailand, and also given her one of my credit cards for emergencies. What can possible go wrong? If you find the right one, what you state above is nothing to worry about, and giving them some trust, can do miracles, and in worst case you will know quick how this will end, and can move on if you learn early something you do not like.

Exactly what I was thinking to. The greatest thing must be to manage to get out of bed without pain, and manage to still do things like go to gym and work in the garden and have a good life with my wife. Thats my goal. Im same age you, and do not have any bucket list really and my wish for my elderly days, manage to stay more home as long as possible, since I have lived a restless life in my bags for sport and work, and now enjoy homelife more and more doing less. Love outdoor sports and motorbike touring, but hopefully I will park that bike before 70.

There is alot of happy men in here who claim rental is best Quite convincing to with their positivity and bright outlook on life in general. Positivity flourish on this forum from all of them and their vise advises.

I would say you limit your chances to find happiness and comfort based on stupid requirements and specs.

Thats spot on my friend ????

With a balanced diet, and maximum 2500kal a day, you really do not need that much red meat to, make one gram pr kilo body weight. One of the biggest reasons of health problems is overeating! I need 86g protein on daily basis, thats it.

These places is good for observation of criminals, and often protected by police out more than one reason.

For a 20 year a 50 year or even a 40 year old man is elderly ???? I have not met a 18 year old or even older thai or asian who look older than she does, and she is normal built and have a decent look. Everyone know there exists underage girls in bars in Thailajd, and I can't see that as an excuse, they didn't know. You just can't afford to be that stupid, but still I have never heard about anyone been set up with a to young girl ever. At least I haven't met anyone, and I have heard many personal stories during my time what happend to them, and common for them all, it is everyone else's wrong, not them.

Well, some cooperations would struggle for sure. If we did eat as we should, we would eat lot less volume, and less calories. And we should eat less red meat, thats another truth, at least some should.

Recommendations is often based on whats available resources. If everyone was going to eat super healthy? What would would happen?

So many things humans did eat we are not aware of anymore. Just have a close look at the more less rural markeds in Asia, many of the same things you find in Europe to. Roots, leafs, wild vegetablea, insects, larvae, even fermentation they knew, as well mushrooms and different different grains. Humans was smaller and consumed less energy, and therefore required less food, and they lived way shorter than the modern human does.

You know some of them is dumped because their x bf thought they where to old and fat for them, even after investing time teaching them english, to swim, drink wine, and clean the house and cook western food. I know, because I did meet one
