  1. Most people have their heads up where sun never shines, so do not expect to many understand what you think are right or wrong! First of all, I did not marry a Uni girl, and one of The first thing I did with her mom, was to ask her, what she or the family expected from me, and that was to take good care of her daughter, 100k in show money, 3 but gold, and a piece of land 36k. We have not done the Thai traditional wedding yet, but will do next year. She already got two bath gold and land and house, and to be true, there will not be any show money either! Communication is the key
  2. Stir-fried beef curry paste with fresh picked bamboo shoots
  3. If the parents pay for the wedding and the gold, it is not that much. Ordinary village girls with university who marry Thai boys, pay now around 500 000 in sin sod. Many do not marry before they have kids, and saving together to make the marriage. It is a highly alive tradition among thais many places, and not just foreigner and Thai thing
  4. Choose your drugs with care! Ketamine I think will be my drug, but in 20 years or more, I might have changed my mind. One thing, I will not be drinking alcohol anymore, or at least not more than a few bottles of wine a month, like now. https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2019/06/25/what-is-the-most-dangerous-drug
  5. What a beautiful morning ???? 6,6 km hill walk on my treadmill easy in 65min. Stretching and a great breakfast as usually. Today I have legs, and it is going to be a blast doing Squats again. Nothing is more stimulating than Leg days. Love it
  6. My longest passion lasted for more than 20 years, and was the most complex drug I ever had to play with, and the hardest to stop completely. Base jumping was my goal since a kid, and after 20 years active in the sport/activity and even longer the passion for it, it took good two years to get it completely out of my system. Exercises is also both a passion and necessity that I haven't practiced for all my years, but I started with organized training since 6 years old, and now still a passion and a necessity to keep my body healthy and to avoid pain from a long life being active doing something that had a tear on my body. Love is another passion I had for Women since very young, food, nature, later wine and music. Depression can kill passion, where nothing look right, nothing taste good, nothing smells good, and you can see beauty, but you do not feel the beauty, you understand it intellectually but cant find the emotions for it, and therefor, how you think about things, makes the whole difference. How you exercise your body to stay fit and healthy, the sameyou have to exercise your brain to maintain the beauty and positivity around you, which fuels you with energy to manage to cultivate a passion. I cultivate myself, my needs and my wife, and try to find the balance between the healthy cultivation and the stupid unhealthy cultivation between us. Everything needs to be in balance ????
  7. Cultivate what is good for you, is always good, and smiling is one of the best practices that can be done. Well, everything have its time, going around as an lunatic smiling everywhere to everyone can be unhealthy for your social life, if practiced to much ???? Still everyone can do simple exercises that can form your brain from being negative loaded to more positive I know it works, a living proof Many good articles out there about brain plasticity, and how to rewire your brain. You cultivate negativity, you become negative, you cultivate positivity, you become positive. Together with physical exercises, it can do magic for the most stubborn negative black soul, if he want to change, and that's the key. You must want a change, to manage to change. ttps://psychcentral.com/health/rewiring-your-brain-for-positivity-with-gratitude More about https://www.google.com/search?q=brains+plasticity&oq=brains+plastici&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0i512j0i22i30l13.8212j0j4&client=ms-android-samsung-ss&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8
  8. Are you sure your wife have done the name change already? The Ampur doesn't do them frequently, and it can be years between every time they do for every sale been done. PBT 5 Land is just a paper, that proves the holder have the right to it.
  9. All depending on location, and how its been used and cultivated. Fruit trees etc. Many villages is built on PBT 5 Land only.
  10. Everything about officiall income is through one database in Norway, which is connected to tax, social security and pentions founds, so we only need a print out of the yearly tax documents.
  11. And no explanation of why he opened the door. What is your problem? It is a story based on a The Sun story! They are well known for informed and correct journalism? M bull pie, you can be as pissed off as you please to be ???? it doesn't change anything
  12. His job is to close the curtains if present, and be discret, and for sure not expose them for everyone. However, I do not know the facts of the story, so can't assume anything why he did what he did.
  13. Master key it is called ????
  14. All I have to say, most of them I frequently meet up with, is great good people who are here for work, business owners (no pimps), or retired early. Meet once and awhile people on the road travelling, and also not to bad, but at once we sit in a bar somewhere, you bet some deleted coming along and tell his story of life. Most annoying, is those who want to tell you how bad Thai women are when my gf now wife sit next to me! That's just deleted.
  15. That's his Job, if he suspect something could be wrong with a passenger inside.
  16. Like the flight attendant was shocked, my bull pie! Non of my gf's or or wifes have been up to it so far, and now, I could not care less about it. Sex is best in bed, in the swing, or at the massage bench
  17. That's true, but another question. If I pay Tax to Thailand, I will be refunded the tax I paid to Norway of my income I transfer, and deliver proof of tax paid in Thailand. Can save 150k a year if I do, but I prefer to still have my social security back in Norway in case of deleted happens.
  18. I thought you had to pay tax in Thiland if you stay more than 180 days a year out of everything you transfer of salary, pension, or social security? Someone know the exact rules? I am still paying tax to Norway solely, and only transfer founds from my bank account more than one year old.
  19. Hummin replied to save the frogs's topic in Thai Food
    Iaan is a large part of Thailand, and can not just be seen as Isaan. Many Makro and topps have great selection of meat and other Foods, so enough to satisfy a picky soul. But we have make whole day trip when we first go shopping. Almost 180km round-trip.
  20. I got stuck on the door handle at a Pilatus Porter once, when climbing outside to take video of a team training formation jumps. Had to let the group exit, before managing to unhook myself, and climb back in to the airplane, knocking on the pilots shoulder to let him know I was there. Normally he would go in to a dive for quick decent back down for next load. Not sure who was thrilled most of us two, me potential round reserve opening at 12500 feet above an small island, or me touching him after he thought everyone had exited the plane.
  21. When in right mood, anything works, and make life electrified out to your tiniest little hair on your body! You are the one who create and allow this sensation to happen to you, most likely after been in hibernation for awhile? Good feeling?
  22. Life is indeed boring sometimes, so, that's why it is interesting when its not ????
  23. Nah, it was a joke, we have managed to create a quite stable predictable life here outside the village on "our" farmland. Even everyone warned us against it. That means everyone, not only other expats we had been hanging out with, but also the locals. Now 3 years later, a few new houses have been built on other farmlands, most likely because we did.
  24. To me it seems like you cultivate negativity, never try to turn mind around and grip something positive in your life. When did you last feel positive, satisfied and happy? What can you do right now that you feel some positivity from? This forum is quite harsh if you already feeling down, and if you do not, someone going to try to make you feel down.
  25. Grew up with all kinds offirearms and hunting devices, and got to play quite a bit in the army, and was the Operator of Carl Gustav 84mm rocket launcher, as well my brother who worked with firearms Import, got som heavy duty rifles, revolvers and pistols during his time to play with, I never got a kick out of firing one. It was more to be faster, safer and better under stress. Dismantling and put together again was more fun. I think everything I have done in life, was about getting better and feel in control especially under difficult situations. Same with sports where you could get hurt badly, or die, it was ore about controlling when you first discovered you where ble to do it, and control the fear. I got my fix by controlling something difficult. Maybe that's why a Isaan lifestyle attracts me ???? It is almost impossible to control the environment around you.
