Don't sell your home, get a good agent to rent it out and use the income to help here. I would invest in in a TEFL course if possible but perhaps lack of a degree will be an obstacle. Ideally teach and enroll the kids in the same school. Thailand isn't cheap these days so you will need some extra cash from somewhere. Everyone tries you tube but only a few have made it work for them. I wish them well and hope they have done their research, but I see problems ahead. I didn't sell my house and the rental over the years has been essential. In 18 years the rent has gone from 600 to 1000 pounds a month. And the value of the house has gone from 175k to 300k. You can't get back into the market if you have to if you sell up.

If it wasn't for the students she would probably be dead. Barbaric culture should remain where it came from.

Reminds me of Boris before he became PM.

No help I'm afraid. Out of curiosity, if you leave Thailand and enter Cambodia (closed at the moment) Laos or Mayanmar and return same time for your visa run do you need a visa for the country.

The Canadian issue of children traveling with parents is common sense considering child abductions, by parents who don't have legal custody.

Just transfered 1k today to my personal kasikorn account it was there in seconds. Sorry looks like the problem is with your set up with wise.

In April I believe a German family with a pushchair were mowed down on a pedestrian crossing by a pickup I believe. I was out of the country after that did they all die, I never say any follow up to the story.

But are you certain he could join the Army as a commissioned officer if he was qualified and wished to do so.

I have a 17 year old daughter here with brown hair, but haven't as yet encountered the issues you have. However I have heard that mixed race kids are not allowed to join the armed forces. She wants to work in a hospital as Dentist, nurse, radiographers or pharmacist. She was interested in being on these in the Navy but missus has been told not allowed. Anyone have a mixed race child in the Thai forces, not conscripted.

Not if you've been looking at the weather these past weeks.

They used to get in the back of my microwave and short out the circuit board. Mostly I could get them out and it worked again. They also got into an AC unit causing that to short out. There are sprays available on the web that they don't like and won't hurt them. They may eat bugs but they poo everywhere, and I think I prefer the bugs.

Here we go more 1984 Orwellian ideas.

Can you not get an extended passport like the Brits. I think it's 45 pages instead of 30. Of course you have to pay more.

Not found wearing bikini bottoms. I find that very suspicious. Let's hope they do a proper autopsy. Police don't think foul play involved. I think it quite possible it is. Just because there is water in her lungs does not mean she was not murdered.

Quality tourists again. However Thai gangs kicking people in the head even in retaliation is going too far. Patong, Pattaya and some areas of Bangkok attract the worst people both foreign and Thai.
