good news with luck the Thais might clean up the mess the US made of this wonderful country during there RnR visits way back.

Totally clueless. Do you really believe this?

This is a good start. Their are thousands of underground casino's and I think they all should be shut down but I doubt it will happen.

Why? That's like breaking up a Saturday night poker game. No harm to anyone.

I've been around, worked on every continent, Thai police is one of the best I had to deal with. As far as I'm concerned they are doing a good job.

I've worked on almost all continents and Thai police are nowhere near the top. The continent I missed working on was Antarctica. How was it?

I'm not sure that the Sriracha office allows reporting by mail. I always stop by to do mine. Never any issues

I think this house is a bit lower quality as where i lived in the Netherlands but after improving on it its better. I never cared much for big houses and when i just came here I did not make the money I make now. I could easily afford a big house now but i rather safe the money and do all the nice things that I want and still safe for later.

I know people like to show off.. I don't really care.

So everyone that lives in a nice house is showing off? Ridiculous statement

Yes that is a ridiculous statement.. good that I did not make it.

I never said big house equals showing off... I said some people like to show off, I don't care.

You can show off with a big house.. big bike expensive car ect.

That does not mean everyone with a big house or expensive car is showing off.

I forgot that English is not your first language. Go back to your mirrors.

I check around and don't see a K&N for a 3.2 Ford. Anyone know where to get one?

I have worked a few large scale construction projects in Thailand. I think slabs are not the norm due to the instability of the ground. We've used bell bottom piers on large pumps to keep the foundation stable. Projects that haven't used these have big problems with settling. We are building a new house. The carport and shop area are 1 level nad we poured a slab. The main house is 2 levels and no slab. Use a lot of rebar. Only my experience

2.000 bth.....to go where....location.... if you wanna be negative about the thais ...at least give sufficient info....

Negative about Thais? Stupid post

The Ranger has a special 'push-down' switch,that allows the shift lever to be moved from 'P' to 'N' with the ignition off.

Vigo the same.

Can you remove they key with the car in neutral?

so you were searched, they found nothing then let you go.

i fail to see an issue.

There is certainly an issue. The BIB should not be putting their hands in your pockets. They should ask you to empty them.

Flying in tomorrow morning and need to visit Boonthavorn on the way home. Any idea of what time they open the doors?

Nice family, the Shinawatras

The 4 litre engine is tough but thirsty as has been noted.

She has an appointment on 8 May. We shall see

Valid visa? I have an extension based on retirement. Had one for years

Thanks for the info. This is her 2nd visa. Maybe they will issue her one. I wrote a letter and explained circumstances and asked for a multiple entry. Should be no issues. Have house, car, condos, and a bit of money. I have a Type O based on retirement

I know that pre-9/11 that multiple entry visa were the norm. They don't seem to be anymore. My wife has been to the US before. I am retiring and have time to travel now. Is there a secret to obtaining a 10 year multiple entry visa?

Galaxy has a coyote bar. What does Happy World have? Never been in. It's only a couple of kms away from home

Its not about B50 its about not waiting in a pointless shambolic 'queue' for 30+ minutes.

If it's not about the money, book a limo inside. Time dilemna solved

She will never find a Thai man to take on her children, especially with her ex being a cop. Her only chance is with a foreigner. The fact that she waited so long to tell you should be warning enough. She was trying to get you hooked before she divulged that little tid bit. I would run if it were me.

Thanks for your comment.

As you can see from my OP and subsequent postings it is not ME I am talking about.

The thread is more about whether someone should accept this particular situation or if there is room for balance and compromise or if relationships can be compartmentalized to some degree..

My friend was only looking for single women when he started online dating, or women with older teenage kids. So yes, he was deceived by her omission to some degree.

He wants to be with her but he doesn't want to have to fill the full father and responsibility role.

Apologies for intimating that is was you. Wasn't intentional. Tell your friend to be very wary and think with his big head. Wish him the best

My experience is a few years ago but that is what I did. Someone will be along to give you more up-to-date info

I went the opposite direction. I wanted a low wide look so I bought 16" offsets with fender flares. I like it. No idea how to post a photo. If someone can assist I am happy to post it
