Are you having the average amount of sex?
I'm in my 50's. About 6-10 years ago back in the West I was seriously thinking my libido was on the way out. Used the blue pills more than I should have. Fast forward to last few years since moving to Los, my appetite is almost the same as my teenage years, but back then it was mostly Mrs Palmer. Now married to a Thai, early on there was education required as it is a non negotiable for me to have some sort of activity at least 5 days a week, which was more than any of her former partners wanted. She's onboard now, that or she can find a new man. TBF she's hot, whenever we go out I see so much interest in her from other guys, I enjoy watching her politely reject their offers. No pills ever, so it's not necessary about you, it may just be who you are with. Love Thailand, even with all it's faults.

Australian Work Permit for Thai Wife
Should be easy enough to get her a tourist visa, although she won't be able to work on that (legally). Do it yourself online, don't bother with an agent. Just beware that from when you apply she'll either have to get to Bangkok or CM within 2 weeks for her "biometrics" to be taken by the immigration departments agent (they have outsourced this to a private firm). You can personally sponsor (show proof of funds that you can support her) during her stay, it may look less suspicious than your company doing it. At least that was how it all worked for me a year ago, apologies if anything has changed since then. Have her do some gardening at home, or cooking prep at home for your business, anything to be careful in case someone dobs her for "working" at your business address. Having said that I have Thai friends who went to Oz on tourist visa's and worked in their relatives massage shop on the Sunny Coast, got away with it. I think they were limited to a 3 month stay. I only went with the missus for a couple of weeks, that's more than enough for me these days.

Memory foam mattresses at decent prices?
About 3 years ago I was in the market for a new mattress as the one in the condo I was in at the time was typical of here, very firm, even with a topper. I prefer what is called in Australia "medium" softness, so you don't sink into it, but its not like a futon either. I tried a number of places and still wasn't impressed with their offerings. Now if I recall correctly it may have been HomePro also, at least it was on Sukumvit and wasn't a bedding only store, and when trying out the mattresses and telling the salesman my thoughts he said to me sir, I know what you need - a memory foam mattress, tell me your address and I'll bring you one - note this was nothing to do with the store, I'm assuming it was his sideline business. It was a bit of a gamble of course but he didn't want any money at that point. A few hours later he arrived with a pickup truck (ute in Oz) with a brand new mattress on the back still in its plastic wrapping and 2-3 men, put in on the ground for me to try, yes I thought, this is my mattress. They moved it up to the room and total cost including delivery 20,000 baht. I've just looked at the brand name on it, its called a "Bonfire pocket spring memory". Very comfortable, we don't use a topper and the only time we have had similarly comfortable mattresses are in higher end hotels, and yes I would rate the softness as medium. I'm no longer in a condo but brought the mattress with me its so good. Good luck, maybe if they don't have what you are looking for have a quiet word to the salesman if he can do something similar.
