EVENKEEL

I hate poor people.

You'll have all the ladies with an Ezimmer.

Yes sir, I always have one.

Invest in a decent car or pickup and travel Thailand. If you're retiring to Pattaya without a vehicle you're going to be reliant on walking or those crappy songthaews. And, you'll be stuck in the farang slums. I suggest you hire a car for the day and explore the other areas on the darkside and bang sarey area, check out the Rayong beach areas. You're going to need a car to have a decent life in Thailand. Walking with your zimmer in soi bukhao traffic is dangerous.

The Emergency Pickups? Heck yeah

Now her village can have a black smoke belching POS pickup with siren being raced around.

The new 7-11 at Phayun Beach sure went up quick. Any idea about the new building going up across from 7-11 in Phala?

I have 2 plastic bags full of plastic bags.

Does that clarify my position to you? Not really, it only makes your incessant posting about taxes even more baffling. Unless you're a tax refugee. I'm sure you're having a good chuckle at the guys who actually took your tax advice and reported to the TRD.

Just changed USD in Patts. 33.47 baht. Not good, not bad.

I agree with the rich Thais but doesn't make my post outdated. As a foreigner IMO you have 2 choices. You can be an uncaring ahole and not share anything or you'll end up feeding all the friends at mealtime. Problem is foreigners are led to the rice fields dreaming of a grand retirement. Before too long reality sets in and by then it's too late for many. It's not to say the locals are bad people, quite the opposite.

The thing is, you're like a broken record. Anytime anyone doesn't stop talking and pushing a narrative I am always looking for what their angle is. I'm pretty sure Lister's agenda for pushing so hard for expats to seek council was to drum up business for so called tax experts. What's yours?

I'm a fan of a few tokes myself but these nupties get what they deserved. There's no reason to be smoking in such public places. I really hate walking with our kid and the pot smoke is so thick.

It's an open forum. You're only giving your opinion....right? Same as everyone.

Probly. Those pot fiends are the worst.

I just go for Firestone. They wear pretty good.

I'm glad you finally took her back Bob, she was getting on my nerves.

Why are the T's always so angry?

Crime or fear of crime was not my meaning here at all. Although when I was living in the middle of no where I always had a vehicle in my name in case of my lady goes nuts.

Yeah sure, why not.

Save your energy for the 4 vixens.

I grew up on a dairy and the cats got fresh milk.

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.
