I there a foster care system in Thailand or care homes?

''Someone has to pay for it''  Yes the rich should pay for poor and I believe that's the Buddhist way.

I take my phone out of my pocket because it will fall out.  Come on man take the gun out.

I have to learn the consonants but I don't understand why they are full words.

Like ก is chicken?

So if I said a word with g I would say kaw gai?

Now I am confused what is kaw?

Does Thai not have the same basic phonics as English?  Open mouth for A, closed lips for B?

Sukhumvit lor - Am I going back to location question?  This means confirm like 'sukhumvit true?'.

Prajao - Can I use this word around children?  It's means Oh my god?

Chitoi - What does this word mean.  I say it to babies and they always laugh and repeat it. But I ask them and they don't tell me what it means.  Chi tooooooi.

Arai na - What does this mean.  Explain the different contexts.

Sawadee ka churne ka - What does churne mean?  Like Churn la ka. And sometimes just 'churne'.

What is the difference between lee and leekuwa - Means 'and'.

Yes I got the tourist visa at the airport.  Cost 1900 baht I think maybe less.

Just to update.  I did a visa run to Vientiane by air from Don Mueang and back and when I came back there were no problems.  The officer did not speak to me she just stamped everything.  I have another tourist visa.

Ironically the que was short and it was the shortest time I have had to wait.

So there was no mark on my profile at the airports.  Only a note at the immigration office system.

I won't get another one at the immigration center but entry by air is okay?  So I can go do a visa run to Laos with no problem it would seem.

I have a British passport so not sure what they give me.  And I do visa run to Laos on 30th day than immigration and get another extension.  I pay them 1900 at immigration.

To go out and come back again with tourist visa extension.

I have to hang around for 4 weeks while the school does the paper work.

But the lady said I cannot go to Laos again because of 6 tourist extensions at Laos and Immigration. She said I must go back to the UK next time.  But allowed me one more stamp to extend at Chang Watana.

So I can go to Laos and return with no hassle? I am afraid they will stop me because of 6 extensions.

I paid at Waleen school today and they said it will take 4 weeks to handle the paperwork.  But my visa only has one week remaining and than I have to go to Laos and come back.  But the lady at Chaeng Wattana Immigration said before that I cannot go to Laos again because I have 6 extensions and this too much.

Should I just go to Laos and ignore the lady? Or ask for emergency extension on the proof and receipt that I have a place of study for over 1 year?

He has to get the Fast Pass Elite Broken-Arm Argument premium visa. I think you need 20,001 baht and 30 photos.

I told Ramkhamhaeng University that I do not have a high school certificate and they said they will not accept me.

What certificates do I need and where do I go to get them?  I have seen International House and British Council do these courses.

Do they recognize these courses?

There are no jobs in the UK because they outsource everything by choice.  So we have reached a point where government support is the only option for a lot of people in society.  This is simple mathematics.  If you have 10 people and 10 jobs. And than you give your company to China and loose 8 jobs.  You now have 8 people that need government support.  I don't really see the difference if he has been to a bar in Thailand or not.

It doesn't really matter if he's paid taxes because social security comes from general taxation.

Is there a university in Bangkok that accepts expats?

I cannot speak any Thai.

I want to get the easiest and longest education visa stay.  If there is a degree at the end this is a bonus.

Do they do less checks at a land border than the airports or is all the information on one database?

I watched some videos that showed people passing through in 10 minutes another guy cycled across.  Sounds to good to be true.

I go to Laos.  Than 30 days later extend it again at immigration for 30 days.

The lady said ''I remember you. You can't keep coming back here again and again.  This is the last time.  I will put a note on your record.''

She took the money 1,900 baht than gave me the stamp after it was processed.

Yes I go to Laos using the airport.  And than extend it after 30 days.

I will get education visa.  Seems like a good deal to study Thai and get to stay.

It was the main immigration office.  The big blue one.

She said she put a warning on my record.

I think I will get an education visa.

The immigration lady said I cannot keep extending the visa because I have done 6 times in one year.

Is this the same case at a Laos border crossing or is there any other methods?

Do I just show them that I have some cash in a bank?

I asked her what to do she said go away and find out by yourself.

Some amazing questions here ''Why you need for anyway?'' and some revelations with ''That it hurts is part of the game.''

The reason people need anesthetic is to stop them from moving around, punching the dentist in the face, fainting or vomiting.  It also promotes a safer and cleaner image rather than some guy in a shed with some tools doing it cheap.

The reason Thai dentists don't give it is too save a few bucks for the company.  Poor people feel pain, rich pay more and don't.  Same for animals when the neuter a cat without any anesthetic which is true in many cases here.

The solution is to find one that does it.

Most of them seem to be businesses run by Americans.  With the business model of 'send us 70,000 dollars and you can be put on a waiting list for 6 years'.  Which is suspiciously long given they also promote a poverty epidemic, famine and desperate need for children to be given a family.  I doubt they actually have any contacts.

Than some others use the kids to promote adventure tourism.  Their model is 'come and see poor people, stay in a luxury hotel and eat at nice middle class restaurants'.

And finally the religious ones which are same as above.

But they all seem to want to hold onto the children because they bring them cash and make the companies money.

Myself and my wife both work and have a good house in decent area.  Are there any genuine adoption agencies run by Thai people or other Asians?
