Joe I’d like to thank you behave of everyone that your advise has helped. It sure makes life easier. I read these posts and gain knowledge.

Cheers to You 

We are out a rural village. School buses pick up most children. It seems the middle school bans parking motos at school. There are very few. 

A post not long ago sums it up. He could take the bus BUT it doesn’t stop at the Internet store on the way home.....their justification 

I bought a New IPhone 6 at Apple Store ( a real store ha ha ). It was $300 USD.  

I said real one because I’d some Apple folks that where setting up a Apple store in the city I lived. They looked at locations to build stopped bya store appearing to be real. The staff told them was real.....it wasn’t 

these guys set up new stores in Asia 

A sick person needs punishment 100x to match damage to others 

Was painting the block wall in front of house in the outskirts of village. 

 Neighbor (Thai)stopped said you shouldn’t be doing that. Police might come by to see if you have a work permit. understand but silly policy 

1979 TT500 guy. You may have been to the Slash X Bar it was just past the Barstow area out the middle of no where. Followed the power lines out to it. 

Some great stories and a lot more interesting than issues we deal with daily. Although it’s good to hear perspectives a d learn an easier road to take. 

I'm OK with Songkran so people enjoy the Thai NewYear and celebrating with family and friends.

I’m up in the NE and it seems too many days they celebrate in our village. I don’t know the history and why 4-5 days? Maybe it’s 

like China that a large number of people work far from their homes 

and a couple of long holidays a year everyone goes home to visit family? 

In our village people party for 4 or 5 days. Wake up start drinking in early morning until early evening or when they knock out. I’ve no problems with the partying but I will only participate 1 or 2 days. 

A lot of the relatives come from Bangkok. We usually provide all the meals and drinks beer etc. One thing I think is odd when they get ready 

fo home wife tells me give them 1or 2 thousand each family.....I’m like what?? 

Everyone enjoy the holiday be safe and sane if possible

LAPD can retire in 20 years but in that line of work 20 years can be an eternity. After 25 years you get free lifetime medical for you and your spouse. That’s a benefit you can’t beat.  Some choice to work longer 

but change to something easier than a beat cop. Detective,desk etc. 

Should be be the same for Firefighters 

Different strokes for different folks..... I had one self rule before going 

to bed after a night of pounding beers.  Take no beer in the bedroom and throw out all empties before going to bed. My reasoning I did not want to wake up hung over and see beers.....

Children can be tough in the teenage years and hanging in there to guide them along the way will help. My son was a terror in teens. We got through it. He put his way through college getting a Master degree with honors. Now he’s working on doctorate. I think crushing the car may seem a keen idea now but probably wouldn’t help. Sit her down an try to have a heart to heart and see how you both can come up with a solution.  

Thanks everyone.

Anyone know of divorce lawyer in Northeast Udon Thani area. We had a village wedding. House,Car,Motos,Farm land and cows. 

All paid by me. Suggestions? I have a lot of evidence of her ongoings while we’ve been together. 

Raising speed limit on interstate would be great. The only drawback 

is large trucks in slow lanes sometimes change lanes without looking

when their passing the tok tok etc. 

Make a road on your property 

A girl / lady in the village 17 has a child looks to be 2. Was sent to for lack of better words the State ran drug rehab hospital. Skinny as a rail prior which was a clue it was drugs. She spent 3 months there and looked healthy when she came back. I said to wife I thought I see the girl from the blues house. Wife said she got out today. When I saw her when I drove by on moto she was back at it. Unfortunately. 

I’m a person of curiosity and asked a lot of questions. Wife hates that. 

So the girl goes to regular hospital once a month for check and meds. 

It’s unbelievable that at the check they don’t piss (drug) test them. Ask them questions In/Out pick up meds on their way. No support group to get to the root cause to help person get better. 

Did a little research and couldn’t find any private hospitals/facilities 

that offered detox, rehab and support. Anyone seen any? 

Asked a guy wh you don’t Thai drink beer instead of Thai whisky. I drink beer and whisky from time to time. I geies Thai whisky once tasted like Chinese Baijiu which and I don’t like either Nasty. Offered Thai whisky many times and politely said no thanks. 

The guy said said most farmers are poor and can not afford to buy beer. Thai whisky is cheap and they can get mao easily. 

 Maybe that’s the reason for cheap drugs to get away from reality temporarily. You see this all over the world in poor communities. 

BKK can be extremely crazy when a lot of passengers tourist from C

I’ve a Chase Bank customer since 1990 it was Washington Mutual when first opened. I lived in China at the time (10 years total) had a US address etc.

Went online to do my banking and couldn’t access told I’d 

have to visit a branch. Called my branch where account was set up.

was told by four persons in chain of command you’ll have to branch.  

Finally I got to the manager and he said it’s been reported the account holder is deceased. I went round and round with the Executive and ultimately ended you’ll have to go to a branch. There were no Chase banks in China at the time. 

Luckily I was schedule to US in a couple of days and used credit cards to survive. Went to the branch talked to the manager he called and at one point got angry and told them he’s standing in front of me he’s not dead. Drivers license (3 countries) passport etc. Nope he needs to go to 

Social Security and get a letter he’s not dead. 

Go to social security and they said we can’t give you a letter your not dead but we can give letter that you or no one else has filed for benefits. 

Went to the bank OKd back to normal. 

Six months later couldn’t access account online. Called the bank and they said you need to come to branch. I lost it and told the. Let me guess because I’m dead again. It didn’t end there. 

Luckily I just returned to China from being in US a day prior. Went to the bank while in US to set up something and spent an hour at the branch. The bank associate had given me his card. Called the your dead guy back he conferenced me and the associate. The dead guy asked associate and he said all I can tell you he was at branch yesterday and he wasn’t dead. It was opened again. 

They put a note on the account that it happened twice. It’s not happened again.

Maybe there’s just some weird stuff happens sometimes. Sorry for the long reply...

Yep On US. I’m a US citizen born and raised there. I spend 95% of the time in APAC on business. Went to US with Chinese customer for factory tour etc. He went through the line no problems. I’m I. The citizen line and get to the officer. He asking a million questions (yes it’s probably hectic boring job for some). After about 10 minutes I said do you know I’m a US Citizen ? You’ve asked me over and over where when etc..you have my passport you see where I’ve been same as I told you  then he jaw jacked me for another 20 minutes.......you just never know. 

I’ve gone on long rides in US and tried to stay off the main interstates. The reason was to enjoy the ride and see things you don’t see flying down the highway. Rode 15,000 km in 30 days throughout US. On big bike... not easy to access phone...peace and quiet. 

Rider make sure to be careful downhill if raining. Riding the Golden Triangle up to the north saw a few downhill aggressive riders slidedown the slope on their ass ....rented a 500 cc Bike was good for the type of ride. 

US friend sold their house to buy condo for easier up keep and their children had moved out. There was an Association fee which at the time was fair. A year  later it doubled and ended up more than their mortgage. 

From Northeast? She could be on the up and up but only as I don’t want to generalize. From my personal experience some find it extremely easy to bend or break the truth. I still in the game and not lost my mind but if I didn’t have a heart and used my instinct it would be anything that I could put on the bike and enjoy the scenery on the way out. 

And if you know any jobs for an idiot I’m available.....see told you I’m really good at it

My wife is on medication for mental health issues for 1-1/2 years. When her ex boyfriend calls it intensifies the problems. 

We were able to get him to stop calling for awhile but he’s back at it again. Looking for suggestions on what can be done 

I want her to have a healthy mind. Comments that may help to understand the situation. She sees Dr. monthly under might 

be called social medicine that Thai receive. It’s a bandage. I’ve gone a few times gave her list of things to ask. It’s in and out 

medicine received. The questions were related to finding root cause so they could be addressed. I’ve suggested a private Dr. But turned down she thought it might be my friend and bad things happen. Can the police warn him to stop calling or a restraining order out on him? That would be a start because she had problems because of him to begin with. She’s uneducated when we met I asked have you finished school as in high school answered yes. She’s 25. Possibly lost in translation finished may have meant guit. As far as I know she finished 7 grade so maybe 13.  The parents,brother and sisters about same as far as. Education or less. She’s had history of drug abuse coupled with the education not a good recipe. I’ve committed to the situation and will try and ride it out. My youngest sister was a drug abuser but I solved that easily and she clean 35 years now. 

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Please save any smart ass replies for later..... Im real good at that to but looking for help. Thanks
