  1. I had a friend who has sadly passed who ran a successful marriage agency in Udon Thani for 25 years. He told me that the most successful matches he made that had strong marriages were the ones with a 22-25 year age gap. That doesn´t mean other age gaps don´t work as it depends on the 2 people, but pitch in that range and you will probably find the right kind of compatibility.
  2. That´s good news! I always thought I wasn´t paying enough. I´m truly happy that racism is now at the heart of pricing. Thailand is leading the world in scams and rip offs.
  3. If they make it look like its a democracy then the people won't rise up. Putin gets voted in as do other dictators. The vote is rigged there but here the parliament structure is rigged. It was obvious that Hegemony is at the centre of this. Either way it´s a democracy by name only. The elections could only have 1 result and it won´t be a change of control of the government and never will be. So just get on with it as it never going to change without a revolution and most people can´t be assed to wave a pitchfork.
  4. Chinese visitors will have to use plastic straws instead of paper ones now for their single shared glass of water. They won´t last 24hrs.
  5. So smuggling 3.1 Kilos of Ice is questionable conduct. The question probably being Where's our payoff?
  6. I think it´s important. After all they do have a track record of taking over planes and flying them into tall buildings. I for one would not feel happy in the air if there is an irked Arab nearby.
  7. Every family is different. My wife's have never asked for money. If they pressured her to pressure me I said no. Mainly because it´s a money pit. The way we solved it is my wife took a job and I continued to pay for everything as before. She keeps her money and sends some to her family, she put some on one side to buy a house in Thailand too. There is no impact on me and she kept the family happy. You should expect this pressure from her family and buying a house seems to be a part of it. So try to work out a plan that works for you both. One where you are not out of pocket and her family are happy.
  8. Sham democracy is revealed. Let´s see how the people react now the truth is out. It is now well and truly in the light that Thailand is no more than a dictatorship. There is no democracy and the people have no control over their future. "A customer can have a car painted any color he wants as long as it’s black" Henry Ford 1909
  9. Looks like some dodgy magazine that runs conferences and scams the attendees. https://infolific.com/money-management/retirement/international-living-review/ The comments in the thread below the article makes AN look tame. Subscriptions that cannot be cancelled, FREE seminars that force you pay at the end, biased articles and sales promotion of way over priced services. No wonder Thailand came in their top ten. Sounds like a match made in heaven.
  10. Tell them you are James Bond.. He´s about the only guy I know who can get away with that...
  11. At least the Chinese will know where it is all the time now.
  12. What a group of numpties. Anyone with an ounce of tech knowledge would know what not to do when running a highly illegal business redistributing live streaming DRM protected content. This is how they got caught. That´s like hiding your Man Cave porn stash in a top secret location in a hidden cellar beneath your garage, behind a secret door inside an alarmed bank level safe with a time-locked encrypted 10 digit biometric PIN CODE, only for your wife to find a disk left in the Blu ray player.
  13. The writing is on the wall here my friend. She is gripped by what seems an addiction and you need to take action to prevent any risk to your finances and yourself. If it was just playing for company it could be understood perhaps; but playing for 24hr and online goes beyond company and boredom. I have seen full well with my wifes sister her slow slide into the dark addiction hole. How the loan sharks sought her out and empowered her to continue using her family as collateral. The first we knew was when some very nasty guys came to our house demand we pay for her debts to keep our limbs intact. First thing to do is to protect your finances. Secure your assets and have full control over their access. Check your bills and all letters. Get new cards and pins. Move everything into your control. Getting a babysitter is simply going to enable her to play more. Disable all enablements. The maid, the take aways, the access to cash. If she wants to eat she has to cook it. If she wants a clean house she has to clean it. Go out as a family to eat rather than eat in, use it as a chance to communicate and try to clean the house together. If she is bored find ways to do things together that breaks the cards cycle. Be prepared to be strong. Non aggressive confrontation. You must not be angry or approach any discussion with potential escalation into an argument. Keep calm and peaceful in how you talk. Become the solution not the judge., Be prepared to walk away as people in the grip of an addiction tend to refuse to acknowledge it till it brings them to their knees Recognise gambling requires money and increasing demand changes people. You may be more valuable falling off a balcony than moaning at her. Make sure protecting your family should you pass away doesn´t become a route to financial fuel for her addiction. That assets don´t pass to her directly after you are gone until she has beaten the grip. Now it is time to protect yourself and your son, Once this is done then tackle the problem. You have a tough road ahead of you. I hope she is worth it.
  14. Did no one think that small objects can be dropped or fall onto a travelator? If it's not poor maintenance then it's a serious design flaw. Either way, there is no wriggling out of it.
  15. Absolutely the best way. Drill though the case into the disk and out the otherside.. Quick and easy.
