You have a time sensitive matter, spending time on the internet listening to "experts" is not your wisest idea. 1. go to the canadian embassy in bangkok and ask them what to do. Document what they tell you and follow their instructions. Ive found my countries embassy to be very helpful when "issues" arise. Try to get the email address of a person there who can help you; make copies of your emails regarding this and save everything in a dedicated folder. 2. go to your local Thai Immigration office and ask them what to do. You really need to bring a person fluent in Thai along with you. Document and email (if necessary just email to yourself). Using email for this is preferable to line. Dont forget to attach relevant documents. Good luck

@Lolothai Take your wife to your local Immigration office and ask them, ideally meticulously documenting what they tell you, and do what they tell you to do. You are just asking for trouble using anything else as your source of information. You want people helping you who have seen your face, who make decisions, and know that in the future they will deal with you and your visa. I know this from painful experience.

A woman who enjoys handjobs+gel+marijuana. I figured I was done in my 60s. Tried the above in my 70s, and I've never enjoyed sex so much.

.. He didn't have his pension frozen. He just .. doesn't get cost-of-living increases. Big .. difference. he still gets his money, so I'm not . sure how that is a "financial nightmare." Exactly. This situation doesn't show how "bad" the UK is, it shows how some people are unable to show financial discipline. Typical disgusting western entitled attitude.

@HermosaBeachGuy in Bangkok Integrity Legal is good but pricy. I also used PVTS on a different matter, good enough and affordable (for a vanilla visa my guess is 14,000b). Or you can always go to your local immigration office (I suggest you bring a thai female friend who isnt intimidated by thai government workers). Good luck. BTW I grew up in Torrance; my dad drove us down Artesia Blvd and let us out to surf HB 25th St. Lathered up in smelly SPF 8 Coppertone suntan lotion, whose afraid of a little sunburn. Were those the good old days or what.

@spidermike007 ... it will certainly demonstrate to the nation how spectacularly corrupt, and how morally bankrupt they truly are .... Perhaps. Or its a young, immature democracy doing what a young, immature democracy does. Just when you see someone doing something in a mature, legal, logical way, they go entirely off road reverting back to old ways. As exciting as he was Pita was a bridge too far.

I drove by this around 2:45am Sun morning in a grab taxi. What I remember was how far down the street the car was. Had to have been a hell of a violent collision.

One part of me says, this girl is drop dead gorgeous, funny, good in the bedroom and doesn't ask you for money, give this a shot. The other says, her lack of physical affection and "do her own thing" attitude AND GAVE YOU STD will be serious problems. What do you think is the best course of action here? gorgeous goes away. Can she - and does she - cook, and do so to please you? Keep your place clean? Is she an agreeable person? Would you introduce her to your friends? Has she introduced you to any of her friends? When you give her some money does she she thank you and spend it wisely? When you compliment her how does she take it? Does she compliment you? Dude the problem is not her, its you. You are judging her by only trivial (other than physical affection) data points. Good luck.

@MalcolmB you are to be commended, your heart is in the right place. Unfortunately this is doomed to failure - as @Smokin Joe points out no Thais will understand you. Really. You are going to stress yourself out for nothing; I tried this and in the first sentence or two I went off-road and it was trash from that point on. Your girlfriend most likely has a Thai friend with decent English language (preferably speaking and reading). Let her give it. Spend an evening going over this with her (you may have to pay a bar fine) Damn, I wish I had done this ...

Make a list - the stuff you have no control over goes to the bottom, sort the other stuff easy at top, hard at bottom. Work on 2 every day (even if it walk to 7-11 and back). As others have said work on your posture. The point is to get aimlessness out of your life. And to the extent possible get negative people out of your life. Youll be surprised how soon this begins making a difference.

The best pizza in Bangkok - possibly all of mainland Thailand - is Vesuvius. And next door is kick*** massage joint. Not far from Nana. Been there for a number of years so must be doing something right.
