thank you for sharing your experience and new found wisdom.

Applying for the elite visa is easy, quick and very affordable. You may even be able to do it online. My $0.02,  go that route, your problem is solved ? and you don't have to worry about this kinda stuff again, at least for awhile. fwiw, while you may not know today that you'll stay in thailand for 5 years, you also don't know that you won't so don't worry so much about the future. We only live in the present moment?

Welcome to Thailand...

Cheers 

i was at big-c supercenter the other day and they had some decent raincoats for a couple hundred baht?  i bought one and have had a similar one now for a year? or two? 

RIPieces

africans and russians same same

i got three bank accounts here. no problem. even getting the tax back they withhold on the interest is straight forward, quick and easy.

come on. look at the picture. this guy is either a russian or african, same same really.

too funny. you lose weight to be healthy and prevent illness then concern yourself with your looks. don't be so vain. all that really matters is the type of person you are. anyone who would say your looks or opinion are more important than the example you make is not worth listening to. congrats on sticking with it. 

when found guilty they should have their personal property confiscated and given to the poor. then their hands should be chopped off and stapled to their chest. If I were only King for a day... then I'd go after the democrats.

farang moves to Thailand, then complains about Thai's. farang baaaaaaa

God bless you. I'd shoot myself if I had to teach english period, let alone, here. I can't even imagine what it must be like for someone from a developed country coming here to work. Like you keep saying life is short, it's way too short... Cheers!

africans, and russians. same same...

just horrible. it must have sounded like a cannon was going off inside that hospital. I can't image what kind of damage a .357 does to the small body most Thai people have. the bullet, if a magnum load was used probably just went right through 'em and lodged into a wall. fortunately no additional innocents were shot. just horrible. rip

they will never take me alive!!!

consider these truths:

#1. no thing lasts forever (this includes you).

#2. if you can't afford to lose the money, then don't gamble with it.

#3. when everything seems hopeless, refer to rule #1.

bfd. that's not even 3 million USD, between 3 guys. geez crime doesn't pay in Thailand, that is for sure.

finally these 2 have someone else to blame for their failed leadership and ideology. 

Great pic! how nice the german's still reward the french for collusion with the enemy. 

God Bless America. God Bless the American President Donald Trump.  God Bless the brave and noble Israeli people and God Bless Benjamin Netanyahu.

a car wash for the princely sum of 150 baht and they claim to be professional. 

i remain enamored with the average Thai worker who must tolerate the ignorance and arrogance of their farang customer.

thank you Thai people for your accommodation while I enjoy your wonderful country at rock bottom prices.

nearly every time i read a post here i am more enamored with the average Thai worker who must tolerate the ignorance and arrogance of their farang customer. having no idea what is the value of a service they complain about the cost. 

why don't u wash ur own car. 

more fruit violence... so sad

the article mentions a new 250cc motorbike. who's making 250's in thailand?
