To say you live in Isaan can mean several things. You can live in a higher end housing development. But for the foreigners who follow the little lady to the rice fields and build a mega home, do you feel uncomfortable living next to the poor rice farmers? Your trip to Makro probably exceeds your neighbors monthly income. You have a new pickup, top of the line furnishings, maybe a pool. All the while watching the old ladies digging for land crabs for their next meal. Guys cutting grass for a few skinny cows kept next to their shack during rice season. Oh and lets not forget living with her extended family and possibly in your house. Oh, I mean her house.

I would suggest maintaining a US number in Thailand. There are many options. I have ultra mobile which gives me unlimited wifi calling in Thailand. It's convenient when your boots hit US soil you have phone service and data.

Who really cares? I don't.

We should have seen the downturn coming. I made a sizable withdrawal from my 401k beginning of 2025 for vacations and such. A good time to invest as stocks go down.

You'd have to be blind or an idiot to think he's a her. I said nothing about smarts

Usually order all seafood dishes. No problem. Too spicy? I still eat it with daughter's delight at my tears. Mai pen rai

Her? Are you blind?

Buy low sell high.

Those guys are killing it.

I'd find a KFC. Report back.

No head kicks with foreigner down. I'm surprised.

Waiting for the "Gov hospitals are as good as the private ones" brigade.

I'm doing fine, but thank you for wishing me the worst. It all depends on how you were raised.

SS was never meant to be one's sole source of retirement funds. Unfortunately due to poor planning SS is the only lifeline many have.

Just look in the mirror.

I would think your time to be better spent researching tomorrow's KFC meal.

I see you're living the dream.

Maybe, maybe not. She could have been knocking on heavens door as well.

That makes no sense Susan.

I just went to my online SS account and changed my direct deposit account info to Bangkok Bank, No other paperwork was needed. But again I started my SS from the US not via Manilla. The downside is Bangkok bank recently put a stop on my debit card and online banking ability.

Perhaps you like Susan better.

You tell em suzie.

250g cooked at home.

I hate the whistle blowers as well. Especially when backing in to a parking space. Can't stand em.

I take you're not a beach person. I have a big selection of Hawaiian shirts.
