  1. Try to lick at least one square meter each day until carpet is clean. Pussycats have very good tongues for cleaning.
  2. I have lived in Thailand for more than 30 years. I also am able to speak Thai fairly well since I made an effort to learn the language because I wanted to live here long term. My best friends, both male and female, are all Thai. If you want to have a friend anywhere in the world, you have to first make an effort to be a friend. I know many non-Thai men and women, but would only consider about a half a dozen of them friends. They are simply acquaintances.
  3. Why are posters defending the two from New Zealand? They should face the maximum consequences for their foolish actions - maximum fines plus maximum jail time plus lifetime bans on ever entering Thailand again.
  4. Buriram is smaller and further south.
  5. Tax on wine is paid when the wine is brought into the country, not when it is sold in retail shops. When sold at retail outlets then VAT tax is added to the price. I noticed yesterday that some of the best selling wines where I shop were close to being completely sold out. The logical reason for this is that importers are trying to get rid of stock that they have imported and paid higher taxes on before they import more product at the lower tax rate. Those who expect immediate reductions in price are being foolish and have no business sense.
  6. Same for me. I've lived in Thailand for thirty-four years and have never had air-conditioning in any of my homes.
  7. The brother doesn't appear to be too concerned. He also looks old enough to have been able to help his sister during the alleged assault. Were his wrists bound as well?
  8. I will be 77 in a few months and I think it should remain legal. Perhaps I am still too young to be a "winging(?)' old man.
  9. I have been doing my own laundry and ironing since I was ten years old. Any person who cannot take care of themself will never mature and grow to become a real man or woman. Life skills do not have a gender.
  10. Visit Kalm in the old city. Even if nothing catches your eye, it's a very interesting place to visit.
  11. Talk to Paul at Doi Saket Properties. I hired him and his very reliable and competent crew to build two homes in a family compound for me and my loved ones. I have been extremely satisfied with the work and the continued support provided.
  12. I sincerely hope you were not a teacher of English! "Conversate?" The verb you need is converse. In addition, of is a preposition and needs to be followed by an object - either a noun or a possessive pronoun. The noun needed in your sentence is importance. Important is not a noun, it is an adjective. The primary problems of English language teaching in Thailand are that Thai teachers rarely speak English to students and the foreigners hired to teach English are either non-native speakers or foreigners whose only qualification is that they are native speakers. Another issue is that language learning is taught from a grammar-based perspective with exams usually given as multiple choice questions in order to be easily marked by anyone.
  13. I think this might be related to the guy who was told that he was too fat by the taxi driver. Perhaps that is why he is standing in the middle of a road.
  14. It's a mistake to use a teacher's agency. It is quite easy to find available jobs using the internet. Before committing to a school, visit it and talk to other foreign teachers there.
  15. No, you cannot do extensions based on marriage at the Central Festival Immigration Office in Chiang Mai.
  16. High gloss paint - dark brown or black would fit your style.
  17. Over the many years that I have lived here, I have often been asked to meet friends or family members of friends when they came to visit. I don't have a problem doing this, but I usually will not travel anywhere with them and I definitely will not take them to bars. I will tell them where the bars are, but they can go on their own. Meeting them for dinner and talking with them about the place where I have chosen to live is the most i will do.
  18. I bought some at First Drug, Mee Chok Plaza, in Chiang Mai last month. It was a very, very small bottle and the manager had to be called to unlock a special drawer to get it. One would have thought I was requesting a dangerous narcotic.
  19. It sounds like you have a wonderful wife. Not all Thai women are only after a man's money just like not all women in your home country are not only after a man's money. There are good and bad women and men everywhere. Men need to trust their own judgement regarding their wives. If they don't plan to live on the land then I wouldn't buy it and I would never buy land for someone who was only my girlfriend. My wife and I bought land and built a house on it, which we moved to, two years ago. Everything was done in my wife's name and I had no problems with that as we have been together for almost three decades. We are now in the process of transferring the land ownership deed - chanote - to our son who has just turned 18. We had wanted to put the land in his name from the beginning but he needed to be 18 years old. You only tend to hear horror stories on forums like this, but there are many more successful relationships than bad ones.
  20. That's another reason to learn Thai if you choose to live in Thailand.
  21. Looking at your photo, you would have to pay someone to share your bed.
