Lack of gratitude in a Thai relationship
brianthainess replied to Kenny202's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Sorry but i have not read all the replies nor the long OP heard it all before, the more you give the more they expect, my missus does say thank you for the smallest things, I do give my wife a monthly allowance even now and payed for the land and made a small house but where i wanted to live, but anything she wants she buys not me, easier for me to budget , though she has her own small salon, sewing, and selling food, work ethic is what she has, and she is still helping to support her adult kids who also have good work ethic. I would never move to 'Their' village and from the very start told her not to tell her extended family up north she had a falang boyfriend/husband, I've never met them nor do i want to. After the death of my friend last week she has closed her shop to help me with all the arrangements, and now here I am sitting in hospital with a skin infection, while she sleeps on the floor next to me, not only does she help me but the also others in the ward. Yep she IS different and I am a very lucky man indeed.- 188 replies

Special Feature: What happens when a foreigner dies in Thailand???
brianthainess replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I must admit the OZ embbassy has been very helpful when my friend passed, once his contact written in his passport was contacted, They were in direct contact with me by phone and e-mail, answering me very quickly. -
Special Feature: What happens when a foreigner dies in Thailand???
brianthainess replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I started a post last week "Death of a Friend" which i promised to up date, it has been one of the worst weeks of my life, I could write several chapters, on the running around back and forth from hospital, police, hospital, police, amphur, police, here on KC. Dealing with his relative overseas. Bottom line is all these problems could have been avoided simply if I had known about the available Funeral Directors recommended by his embbassy before hand, my advise is use them, when we are sent to the forensics police, it is not just a matter of going there once to collect the body. One has to get all relative Docs from Embassy, police doctor, return to the province where they lived and died, go to Amphur register the death, Then return to BKK to police maybe embassy again, and YOU arrange for his body to be returned and cremated. They can arrange everything, it would have cost me around 25k in fuel and hotels etc. Their charge including Police doctor, basic coffin 2 trips, all Docs. to our local temple on KC and staff were fantastic was 38k, not including the funeral. -

morocco Cambodia Canada i forget now how many countries they colonised -
The cost is minimal at you local amphur office first get the yellow Yellow book then you can yet a pink ID card if you want, that can be used for things like checking in to hotels and no need to carry a passport, you may need to have someone with you who speaks thai from memory go first time then about a week or 3 return. the whole cost is no more than 200b maybe only 100b. edit; you can also use them to register a vehicle in your name and renew a driving licence

Amazing Thailand: Termites blamed for murder suicide
brianthainess replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
Will the Termites get bail ? and then go underground ? I have seen a good YouTube vid of pouring molten aluminium down inside, and then removing the mound to revel an amazing 'sculpture' of inside. Putting that in the Temple would get loads of cash for those monks.
