It's a joke, Joyce.

Go into any shopping mall in Australia, and start counting the number of beached whales - even the young ones - against any that are as slim as a 40 kg Thai woman. You won't get to see many in the latter category.

Go to a Samsung shop.

The last time I used Windows it was the abortion called Vista.

Missing the point, which is there is no permanency of tenure for a retirement visa.

My apologies, many of your posts go beyond my attention span.

Australia is not a happy hunting ground for heterosexuals.

In the same boat, I am wondering if I can get it up anymore. I guess I'll find out when I come back to Thailand next month.

There's a restaurant in Chiang Rai called the Hungry Nest. The cook there makes an omelette with spinach, mushrooms and cheese. At home, my GF is the omelet maker. She adds chopped tomato and onion. She uses 3 eggs. I was under the impression GG was American, but he is using the British spelling.

She won't be driving the car until I get back.

She's got it in her head it's all Roojai's fault. I'll sort it out when I get back to Thailand early in September. Looking at the Roojai quote, the Por Ror Bor is excluded.

Website. It was an email to me inviting me to renew my insurance with them, quoting the premium.

You may be right, although I don't recall Roojai asking me.

That's OK, I have too. Fortunately, my GF has never given me any indication she can't be trusted.

I don't know if it was included in the private insurance policy.

I sold my house in Australia, bought a condo in Thailand. I don't understand why the OP can't maintain a bank account in the UK. I have one in Australia, plus investments. The last time I visited the bank ( actually a credit union ) was over 10 years ago, everything is done by internet and phone. I have two Australian debit cards for use in emergency. My will ( Thai and Australian ) states my assets in Australia are to go to my son there, my assets in Thailand go to my Thai GF. I found selling the house freed up a lot of capital, cut rates and insurance to zero, and I no longer had maintenance to concern me. It would be prudent to set up a joint account with your Thai partner, with sufficient funds for her to live on, while probate is settled in both countries. I understand Thai probate takes about 6 months. My GF has enough funds for 18 months in our joint account.

You have a suspicious mind. My GF has no involvement with the private insurance, I am handling that.

The only posts I give credence to are those with facts, data, trends and evidence. Conspiracy theories don't fall into those categories, neither do your posts.

No thanks, one GF 23 years younger than me is quite enough. If I go to a massage shop or bar where I am not known, all I would have to do is say I don't have a GF. Photos on websites can be doctored, in the flesh can't.

You'd be surprised. I once stayed in a Sheraton in New York with threadbare towels and a filthy windowsill.

The CTPI is compulsory. Whether you do or don't have private car insurance is irrelevant.

I don't insist on breakfast where I stay. I head out to the biggest hotel in town, which almost always has a buffet for 250 - 400 baht.

Too late for me, I'm afraid.

Don't have to worry about lice, do I?

You don't have a GF to make your own adult movie?
