CM Dad

I closed my Krungthai account because they insisted on having my foreign address even after I kept telling them that I don't have one.

I have been here more than thirty years and I have not spent any of that time "sitting on a bar stool and drinking beer all day".

I was born and raised in the United States, but have lived in Thailand for almost 35 years. I last visited the USA 18 years ago, and have no desire to ever return. I have a family here and a nice home. I speak Thai more than I speak English most days. My best friends are Thai. I am acquainted with many expats, but would only call a few of them good friends. Interestingly, my closest expat friend is an Australian.

As I said , sit down, take deep breaths and relax. It's not grammar, "blaze" - it's correct spelling and correct use of language.

"Why the switch?" Musk has lots more money - and he has been giving it to him.

Huh? Why should they give anything to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM)?

...shoe? ...immogrants? Sit down, take deep breaths and relax.

The same is true of many men - and some women as well - all over the world.

I will never travel by bus in Thailand, nor will I allow any of my family members to do so.

Wake up BritMan - many Thai citizens are 100% ethnically Chinese just like in Britain where many British citizens are 100% ethnically from different groups.

Most people don't want to die unless they are in terrible pain and/or suffering from some severe illness. However, most people who are in their 70s want to be 80 and most people in their 80s want to be 90. Enjoy life while you can.

Will this change financial requirements for spousal visa extensions? For example: If a foreign man marries a Thai woman he must keep 400,000 baht in a bank account in his name only, but if a foreign woman marries a Thai man there is no financial requirement. So, if a foreign man marries a Thai man will there still be a financial requirement? In addition, if there is to be true marriage equality then the 400,000 baht bank deposit for a foreign man married to a Thai woman needs to to eliminated.

Why not?

The article said that the mother had been "...trying to look for two months...", not that she was yet able to look or even look out for, but she was "trying". Who writes this drivel?

When I married my Thai wife, she had an infant son and a young daughter. I legally adopted them both and raised and educated them (My son is now a student at Chiang Mai University). I love them both and they both love me. They are my children as far as I am concerned and I am their papa. You get back what you give Dave0206.

Why? Thailand is pretty much owned and run by the descendants of Chinese who came here many, many years ago. The Siamese allowed them to not only gain citizenship but gave them control of the country. Why all this xenophobia now?

I visited Phuket once thirty-four years ago. It was beautiful! I rented a vehicle and drove myself and two friends all around the island. We had wonderful food and enjoyed watching the sunset on a beautiful beach. The trip was nice, but I have never had the desire to visit again. Once was enough.

If you support a cowardly liar like Trump then I wouldn't go so far as to say you are garbage, but you are certainly mentally impaired.

I have lived in CM for more than thirty years and am a member of a dining group. We are a mixture of foreigners and Thais and we call ourselves friends.

I would much rather have a stronger baht than a lying, racist embarrassment like Trump in any position of power!

Why are you going to a farang doctor? Go to a Thai doctor and stay away from overpriced private hospitals like Bangkok Hospital.

See a urologist. It could be a bladder issue and the longer you wait, the worse it might get.

Try putting the glasses on BEFORE you put on the helmet.

I stopped buying anything with the Samsung name on it years ago. Their products are very low quality.

My 90-day reports cost me nothing, but then I make them on time.
