Why the hell would a 40/50 year old man (no matter where he comes from) be interested in a 16 yr old teenager whom he cannot communicate with? Go back 10yrs, he would have been 30/40 and she would have been 6! Sickening. 🤢🤮

33+ years here, never, not once ever had a problem.

There are some very very gullible people out there .....

Apologies for the late reply. Age gap 5 years, married in 1992 which made me 29 and the Mrs born 1967, so 26. Next? 3 years difference.

It must be so satisfying to be in a long term loving and trustful relationship. I feel sorry for you, really do.

The opening post reads like a thinly veiled advertisement for some housing development, that's all. First visited NST in 1991, married a local lass and lived there for over 20 years. No airport back then, 2 domestic Thai prop jobs from DMK a week dodging the cows and landing in the army base.

Tinder her is online Soi 6, you take your picks.

Been married here to an absolute diamond for over 30 years, look in the gutter, you get the dregs. Your choice.

Having had a couple of resorts and dealing with all the booking companies, most of whom seem to be part of just one group. 18% commission is / was the base rate. To get higher on their pages you, the hotelier could increase the amount of commission you paid. A lot of the big 4/5* places pay commission believe it or not of up to 50%

A deep water canal is the only way this will work (via a mountain range). Transshipping is time consuming and not cost effective at all. If you (Thailand) can't build a deep water canal you are on a loser. Time, cost et al etc means that the Malacca Straits/Singapore will be a lot cheaper and presumably much quicker. Much more efficient and mush more cost effective. Get digging is all I can say!

Didn't Shania have a daughter called ChooChoo?

Yes and yes. Lived there (central/southern) through the 60s and 70s and have returned every 2 or 3 years since. Love the place, the diversity, the scenery ... everything.

Quality tourists will follow this tread with interest me thinks. 😄

Yes, I did it a few years ago. Took the main 210 from Udonthani to Loei, nothing spectacular. On passing Loei and having plenty of time, I decided to take the 'scenic' route to Nan. So I turned off at Phu Ruea and went that way. Sorry, can't remember the road numbers as was using an old road atlas. The idea was to follow as closely as I could to the Thai/Laos border for as long as I could. Would I take that route again, probably not. Small isolated roads, some in extremely bad condition, landslides, no other traffic (climbed over a mountain and back down), saw no one except for one guy tending his herd and no fuel stops. Good for an adventure to do once, maybe good for a bunch of bikers (on off-road/adventure bikes) but in my case, driving a Vigo, never again. Ended up emerging just south of Nan.

Chumphon, Surat, Nakhonsri, Ranot, Songkhla, Hatyai, Dannock is the route I'd do. Mostly flat, scenic and a lot shorter than going over to the west side.

Samui and the islands. Phuket. Pattaya et al next? Some 'home owners' must be bricking it at the moment.

1. Hope the young lady recovers. 2. While in my eyes car at fault, family should also take some blame for letting her ride a scooter on a public highway. 3. When lights turn green, always double check to see if it's clear to go.

Go where your gut tells you where to go, not your heart, sorted!

There are no trains to Ranong, long bus journey (from Bangkok) or a short flight to Ranong airport, situated 22km south of Ranong Town. Once is Ranong, head to Sapaan Pla I think it was called from memory and you can get a boat to Koh Phayam from there. Take cash. there were no ATMs there last time I went, albeit quite a few years ago. Enjoy..

Get in touch with these guys: https://rhinopooltables.com They are based in Bangkok but can/do install in other areas. Great service too.

Why not drive down to Penang, it's not far, not difficult and you'll have transport once you get there to get around?

Got to be better than riding a Honda Wave.
