    Thailand number ONE!!

    I am in the same boat. Had to start a new non O after a short break. Two witnesses required just for the visa, not looking forward to the extension process. Korat office.

    Pushing a fairly dry argument there sandyf.

    "half sunk" seems about right for a Thai operation, half way good enough is good enough.

    It's hard to know what they are saying when their head is up their but with a foot stuck in their mouth. Tar the lot of them with the same brush. Drop Kicks.

    No. People can now grow their own weed. Get with the program.

    Sorry to hear that OP Mac. The irony is that the wife came home from the market with a shiny new rat trap this very morning. Around here it's the humans that bite the rats. Honest!

    I understand where you are coming from OP and I also understand I have zero chance of making a difference, sad but true. I live in Thailand and yep it's a dump, for the time being this is home.

    Isaan Woman

    EWhere to start? My wife gets a funny on every now and then so I just refuse to speak to her until she talks first. It usually ain't my problem so I ignore it. Works for me. As for the loud voice, she understands the term "fish wife" now so tones it down a little. Most of the above seems about right. Women, shesh.

    Yer I was lucky as medicals are mandatory for most jobs these days. Worked for 10 months, 12 hrs by 14 days and hope I never do it again. I think I could do it one more time if the site was Ok. Good remuneration for sure.

    180/112 last year but been like that for a decade. I returned to Australia for work and found a good GP who told me even a driving license was out of the question. Telmisartan+Amlodipine put me in the right direction so now around 125/83 so all good. Rate@40-5 mg per day. Stay of the grog was her advice, mostly.. I got a job as a hard rock underground truck driver at age 63 so yes most things are possible lf you try.

    You have to love this place, lol. Imagine if a real administration was to be installed, pure kaos, no more visa extension for those willing to pay a proportion of the asking conditions. A total rethink for the disilusional self-entitled elite. Be careful what you wish for. I can live with the "wild west" attitude. I don't care really as do most Thais I have met. If you where good enough you wouldn't live here.

    This week in my area (rural Korat) has not been to bad. Most of the burning has finished apart from the charcoal kilns that seem to operate 24/7. The old fella two doors up has hopefully run out of fuel for a while, my family has been coughing for months as has most of the village. Sure he makes a living but is killing people slowly to do so.

    There really are some drop kicks in this world.

    Not to mention the traders in meth.

    Never been inside a Starbucks and have absolutely no desire or intention of ever doing so.

    They drive like they act in any situation. No spatial awareness and total disregard for the rationale of cause and effect. That's my understanding anyway. Now parking, that can be taken to a whole new level.

    Down town Perth, more poor people everywhere.

    In this age of computer chips and science surely if all fails you could follow Einstein and work it out with a pencil. Seems like a sweat boil to me. Cheers.

    Just back from a working holiday to Perth, underground truck driver, good money @ 42 an hour but that's 12 hours a day for 14 nights and days (7&7) A pack of smokes in Aust is about $60 bucks. No thanks I want to retire in Thailand

    Be real mate, that was a very, how shall I put it, dumb! coment would be the kindest narrative I could use in this instance.

    GOD, and I also believe in the tooth fairy. Struth.

    Bless her, I could do with a wife like that. And the Bank in question will say the same, Deny and Deny not my problem. You gotta love this place.
