North China has a lot of these air cleanerish 

Maybe the fine is just tacked to the next customer...

Relocating a restaurant won’t relocate customers ... will take time.

if it’s a source of happiness for your wife needs to part of the equation

You just have to accept the fact that you need to adjust - you, not Thailand which is not going to change to suit you. Make compromises and find work-arounds for the things you find intolerable.

Your problem is you are still in the stage of putting up mental resistance against the culture instead of accepting that it is what it is, and figuring out practical means to best to live in it.

A lot of good ideas in the thread from many to consider...  I quoted this one because I had to make adjustments to my thinking similar 

to this. 

I was born in Mid-50s the way I was raised and I had to adjust some (stubborn) raising my kids when I was just 20 2 boy then a year later daughter... no other children but 3 nephews 1 niece life

here 95% of the time along with Mama and Papa...

Theres a 1 room wood cabin type wattachee shower toilet. Mama and Papa stay.

i won’t go on although I could .... if you don’t ways to adjusts you going drive yourself crazy. It took a while with the In-laws but now all good. They’d see me wash my dishes , pans etc when I cook. 

Wash my own clothes... I’m kinda Anal retentive got that from my

Dad .. he didn’t wash but they had be his way...

so make some things don’t think much of it., adjust a little it’s good

and might even make the entire family relationship grow. You daughter watching is probably just to hang out with the family..

if she had the controller it’d probably be cartoons...

R.I.P. young man. may you journey be good...

At our house we've had 74 power outages in six years.

It makes you wonder about the reliability of an electric car they might design

Extremely low miles....

R.I.P. Sir ....

A bit over the top for 14 day overstay... if he had a legitimate excuse...but unknown to us.

Depending on how long they been in their career... sooner 

or later they catch most.

Don’t know how insurance works as far as if it’s insured now are 

you covered for ? Many days before obtaining your own insurance....

And the hilarious part......... got out then popped for overstay

Keller, 44, was found not guilty on Sept. 30 by a judge. However, he was arrested again for overstaying his tourist visa, while he tried to leave the country.

$75k and punitive damages from what I’ve read. Hopefully Vern gets a nice chunk just for grief is nothing more...

Musk should meet face to face with Vern offer a sincere apology 

then ask Vern how much will help correct a wrong... Musk double it

and walk away learning a lesson... hopefully 

It’s a wealth of information wish I knew of it before moved here 

three years ago. Would’ve made it a easier road and would recommend to everyone.

R.i.P. savor the memories....

Probably got my wires twisted wasn’t this put on hold until 2020

due to tourism.... maybe I’m confusing it with the small fee they were going to have all tourist....as the world turns 

Bought a S&W 9m in the US locked in pistol case in US. The thing 

that puzzled when I bought it New 3 years does not have a safety. 

Below is the reasoning from S&W customers (some). Which is BS

because you can pull the pistol out at the same time flipping the

safety. 

Cut it and pasted 

Smith & Wesson is going to make a lot of people happy with the announcement of new M&P Shield concealed carry pistols without manual safeties. The original Shield pistols have thumb safeties on the side.

Thailand is safe in my opinion 

Perhaps the car rental company will advise you. OP you should be ok but once your settled in the new area go get your drivers license.

IDP are in general valid one year once it RTB expires

youll have to get another one which may mean going back to your

home country.

without valid drivers license and IDP you’ll have to take the full test.

I gave 200,000 and balance paid in a year would be given if no significant issues or wife thought playing with other fellas was a good idea... didn’t make it 1 year. 3 years later still living under

same roof with minimal perks...

The upside is less information to obtain like other countries...
