Stevey

That’s one way to get a pisser. Lax attitude to safety is rife, and when you bring up how dangerous not having earths to metal equipment is they just look at you like they need you to leave immediately.

We are running out of road now. I’ve come back to the UK and dropped a job that pays great and I’m working 8am till midnight everyday to replace the last 2 years cash. How she thinks she’s gonna survive on a 7000baht a month job without me plus all the money she’s gotta pay back to various places I’m sure. I know she owes the moo Baan lending club 40kBaht which she said she borrowed because the 10kbaht plus the electric bill I paid every month in 2020 was “not enough” problem is I have my possessions there such as my motorcycle and other bits and pieces.

She will lie about anything. I bought some En-Dex 4000 for the 7 dogs which after the Bravecto tick and flea treatment I gave 6months back has finally worn off on one dog. So all dogs need re-treatment. It arrived the other day and I talked of how I want to be around over the phone when she gave it to them. When I asked her a few days ago how many she gave each dog, all differing weights, she said ‘ gave them already, 1 tablet per dog. That is quite a job to get 7 dogs to swallow that pill. I’d asked her to do one dog a day and write the dog and date on the wall so there is no confusion and explained that some dogs need more as some are 9kgs and some 20 kgs, I’ve got in a muddle a few times forgetting which dogs have had what. Well when she answered so quickly yes when I asked if she’d give them I just told her she was a liar. To just not even mention she’d given the meds until I asked her is just not believable.

Useful info as ever, Thanks ????

Now that’s the info I’m looking for confirming what I suspected. Surely the Thai government can let children be attended to for free. Obviously now I realise it was just a ploy for cash for something.

Thanks all for answers. I’ve stayed in Thailand for over two years on the last stint which ended a month ago and now I’m back in Englands green and pleasant land to replace the 10s of Thousands I spent from my Savings. The little’un is bad but he bad all the time with some lurgy or other. I’d given her her salary last month on the 25th and sent a few thousand over for this and that which actually more than doubled what she had to pay out so she would have had over a 1000baht extra. She has a job which cuts days out of the blue due to materials shortages. When I asked how much she got a day she answered unsure “ er… gor Sam Loy ?” So maybe more than 300. It’s was in here interest to make out she is low paid but it may be better than that. The factory which make pressed sheets of wood regularly has days of inactivity which works great for the little’n who gets dumped at the sisters farm from school end of day till when his mom gets home to collect him at 1730. So on top of her approximate 6-7 k I give her 10k. Plus ,as I can attest doing 15 hour days at the moment, when you working you ain’t spending cash. A while back she wanted me to buy her an expensive JAK sewing machine so she could work from home, I refused not believing she had it in her to do piece work. I stopped and chatted to a woman working from her house doing similar contract sewing work and she told me that if she works hard everyday she could make 7000 a month. On this basis I reckon with a combined income of minimum of 15k a month she doing alright. So why she’s coming up with requests for clinic money at 6 days from pay day Steve is infuriating. I see she’s the young lad to ask for money saying he was sick with a cold and needed money for to see a doctor. Then he says “Song Meurn” 20k then I knew she was up to her old tricks. Gambling. Probably got debts to pay. Should be interesting. I always thought some debt collectors will turn up and take anything of value I left at the house, my motorcycle not in her name and other possessions.

???? ahh you must have enjoyed writing that dig. My question is am I being deceived into giving money for a trip to clinic that could be free or very cheap or little cost for a small child vs her asking for a small fortune to fund something entirely different like her gambling addiction. In future if you find the urge to make a nasty comment on one of my posts just click to the next post about Thai politics and leave me alone. Please don’t darken my door again ????Cheers

I’ve not watched or listened to one thing about the US war in Ukraine vs Russia since the cost of living went up when it started. If possible don’t bring it up. Cheers ????

My girlfriend is saying she wants money to visit a clinic as the 5year old has been sick on and off for 4 days. Usual fever type of thing, How much Is a five year old kid gonna have to pay for treatment?

Well managed to navigate to the Bravecto in Thai, not bad. 10-20kgs B730+B80 carriage B920 for a box. People seem to think this En-dex4000 is good. I bought 3 boxes for B100 last week from Lazada. Tiber reckons the cheap stuff works on his dogs.

I’m sure your progress and success is on all our minds as one day we’re all possibly gonna be in your shoes. We’re all ears.

what is this home town in England ? just being nosey. Yeah the weather is fantastic right now. I’m back in the UK and after a couple of years away in Isaan I’d forgotten how beautiful England is. It’s trees trees and fields. Tiber you have shown some dogged determination through this ordeal where some would have given up. Well done. Remember that you are an Englishman, and have consequently won first prize in the lottery of life. Have you had much contact to back home in Thailand ?

Have you got any dogs ?

Isaans a lot different in the rainy season, lush and green like Bali. When the cool season starts and they start cutting the rice it gets pretty baron and brown.

Your comments seem to say more about you than they do me. Have you got ‘anything’ going on ?

How very 4ucking dare you !! I met my good lady in a bar in HuaHin. I was about 35 and she was the cousin of the bar owner. I had never had any thoughts ever of getting with a bargirl and I would not advice anyone else to either now that I have mixed with so many Isaan Harridans since I hit the village 4 plus years ago. It was years before I decided to actually get together and finance her prior to that it was daily contact and me sending amounts of money to satisfy requests to solve various fictitious issues, I knew were lies, Hoes gotta Hoe. She will have had many more financing her so I never got too serious. The cost of financing her is a fraction of what other people here will be outlaying. She gets ‘ just ‘ more that she could earn in a job off me and she decided she wants to work at a local factory. The beauty of that is she understands how hard is it to get that money and when she gets that max 7000baht she understands the value of money and that her 7k goes nowhere, with me there the electricity bill is 2900baht. Also I have given her the chance to actually be with her second son Dang which she didn’t have for her first Son 14 who was Dumped with her sister while she disappeared off to work wherever years ago. Dang is a very tactile hug boy and loves love. The chances of her and her older son ever being involved in some form of mother Son hug is about the same odds as her winning big on the Thai Lottery. After me and her split some years ago after after a disagreement. She met Dang’s biological Thai father who split after the birth not wanting to sacrifice his pay packet to finance a child, I must thank him one day. I turned up four years ago when Dang was 1 year and have been around ever since. After spending two whole years together on this trip we have learned a lot about each other, mainly she’s an idiot a fact she had kept hidden previously except the time years previous when she tried to turn on an AC unit with a TV remote. Luckily money and the promise of more every month is the glue that keeps it altogether. For that I get a place to store my stuff and Kawasaki, the 7 dogs are fed and most importantly the little Dangs there. No cleaning unless she feels like it.

You’re a right little ray of sunshine aren’t you? if I was in this position and I could get to the UK, at the worst you could just walk into a doctor surgery all dishevelled and say you’ve been living on the streets for 20 years and you can’t remember your name or whatever. I wouldn’t be going incriminating myself. Which doctors surgery goes investigating where a new patient with no last doctor has been residing. Imagine two patients arrive on the same day. One is homeless crack addict never paid in to the systems and then Tiber. It’s all the same. That Kev In Thailand based his demise on what he heard from someone and eventually ended up in a hospice in the UK anyway if I remember correctly Free of Charge. My own dad after spending his whole life from 50 onwards. On retirement in Thailand at 70 he had he had the inevitable predictable heart attack which requires a stent and Bangkok Hospital to be paid 1.5M. After the inevitable rip off by his missus now Dads back in Blighters in one room and just his pension. Mind you like he said “ luckily Thailand holds £20k of you money ready so you have something pocket money to go back home with ????” If your intent on going to all lengths to beat this Tiber just turn up to a doctors in the UK and act like Manuel from Fawlty towers. It would be nice to clarify how likely it is that expats can be denied free treatment with evidence. RPReplay_Final1684231877.mov

They’re good friends dogs are.

Ohhhkaaaaayyyyyy….? I watch your qualification to be a Thai old hand.

Oh, I can show you worse than that mate…. A lot worser.

Thanks for the kind words and I can elaborate on the other issues you so kindly pointed out about the poor living conditions. Well missus is a pig so there’s only so much a guy can clean. Purchased a new double insulated and earthed Philips rice cooker and ditched the Singer branded rice cooker as I feared looking as it was about 30 years old or more and was metal it was ripe to develop an earth fault and shock someone as the cord had no earth. The Girlfriend suggested giving it back to her sister “ great idea she can die for all I care “ I replied. The fridge is an LG model, getting on a bit. Colin gave that to my girlfriend before I ever got to the village it’s been a good workhorse but both the compartment freezer and fridge seals are knackered and they are 1000 Baht altogether on Lazada. I have hankered after a big fridge for all the time I’ve been here but because me and Girlfriend I’ve never seen eye to eye in the whole time I’ve been here for long enough to be friendly then choose one then order it and have it delivered in a time period where I didn’t tell her to รบck off so I’ve always ditch the idea. I decided to do it in the last month or so before I left for the UK where I am now. To help the relationship and she was very happy even though she was in the usual bad mood when it arrived which was inevitable really. Another reason I had not gone for a new fridge was the last one was filled with old food that she Would not clean out. Opposite to her older/younger ? Sister who will have a spotless fridge with no old produce hanging around. Two weeks after we got it it was full of half eaten meals and items but as it was a bigger and well lit it was easier to pick them out and for ‘me’ to throw them out, can’t win. on the subject of cleanliness, it’s got to the point where I just keep my own bit clean it up will struggle, the plan is that I’m hoping she will just eventually change. If I put procedures in place, like for instance, I bought a big plastic trashcan and some black bags for rubbish. Before that she would just put rubbish in bags we got from the local convenience store and they were hung all around in various places inside and outside the house, sometimes for weeks at a time. That appears to have stopped. I even tiled her concrete floor. That was a hell of a lot of work ????

Been following Tiber. How old are the dogs now.

Unfortunately these ‘ normal ‘ Thai guys who @jts-khorat appears to support have this on their mind and are waiting for the opportunity to strike. Any man who thinks that interfering with a minor is normal needs to be dealt with, imagine trying that in the UK?

The first time the child was touched. was the time I described in the shop where the guy went straight in and did it and I responded in kind. And the second time it in a massage shop where there was a guy and his wife just sitting around, and for some reason the guy instigated some kind of touching with little Dang where he went for a quick pinch. And as I’ve said before Dang has been doing this to me I’ve late and I just decided in that split 2nd to let it go. As I am aware, it is cultural that is carried out, and I just thought you know what this is my favourite massage shop and I’m not gonna make a problem right now considering Dang has been trying to grab my dick for the last week unsuccessfully. Actually I did have a problem in that shop as we left as I described before, but I’ll mention it again where that man and a friend of his who later came into the shop, decided to start talking about Dang’s hair being too long. And then, when I challenged them about the fact that there is nothing wrong with his hair being longer than the US Marine haircut that some children get. This idiot, who had a feeling he might be cleverer than me decided to say yeah, but what about hair lice. Oh so are all the girls going to have the same cut as well because they’re all in the same classroom, I assume they’ve all got hair lice, then as their hair is long? He had absolutely no answer for this, in fact he had his mouth open with no answer. The fact of the matter is, I’ve come to realise that Thailand is a country that loves repetition of everything. It repeats the same festivals and the same culture constantly. That’s not a problem to me. The hair style of young boys is another tradition. On the hair cut thing I’m gonna post a couple of pics of the hair. I know this is a police state and everything but if I hadn’t of insisted in his hair being grown out we would never have the photos of his hair being not of a marine. Who are the local government and the wishes of some local idiots to deprive us of this. To actual have the gaul to instruct parent that a boys hair has to be removed while a girls can grow is ridiculous. As soon as I left the girlfriend has it all his cut off to please the people who can’t stop poking their nose in saying when’s he getting his hair cut. She will go along with anything that is the norm and will not rock the boat. Although she is one of the very few that never entertained the vaccine so she has that in her favour, unfortunately not out of reasoned internal discussion or the fact that all the old people in the village a year after the outbreak from one country away were still alive unvaxed, but more out of … she didn’t fancy it.

I am genuinely sorry about that ????
