it's his 'time of the month', just ignore him. Actually, he has a 'time of the month' all the time.  

Aww, aren't you a bit too old for the 'gang' mentality? Put me on ignore if you don't like my truths..

I take it you are on a very tight budget to be worrying about something as trivial as this??

Just a hunch, but I really doubt it will be expensive.

This is only if you are sick. Not everyone qualifies. 

Yep, yet still 10 pages of pointless inane ramblings.

When I had an account with Citibank Hong Kong, that allowed me to trade shares in the US and HK. Can use an address here. Obviously big problem now is getting to HK to open the thing, although you may possibly be able to do it online.

While there are flaws in your arguments what you point out is ultimately heart breaking and should garner a great deal of sympathy. 

 

This morning I watched a video of a father reunited with his children, arriving home after ASQ. It reminded me of how devastatingly torn apart I was when I couldn’t get home to my family. It reminded me of that day I was reunited with my Wife and Son.

 

I was one of the fortunate ones able to return to Thailand with a Non-Imm Type O Visa (based on marriage to a Thai) and secured a repatriation flight. But there is potentially a great many people slipping through the gaps, unable to get back to their families and loved ones and friends. 

 

This is devastating and more could be done to help people. The hard line and restrictions unnecessary. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Was you wallowing up writing that?

Not at all. I know that wearing masks in Thailand serves no preventative purpose. I do it out of the respect for the people I live amongst.

You're still banging on?? Worse than a parrot!

A convo about electric bills?? All living the dream, eh.

The darkside - great location name. When people from the West ask me where I live it is bad enough for many if I say Pattaya. And now I imagine that I have to say I live in the dark side of Pattaya...

Ooohhh, yea, that's just sooo edgy!!! Do they all think you are a mastermind criminal??

Maybe nothing going on for you but there is plenty to do if you look. Your profile says your located in Bangkok if true you could join Internations Bangkok (Google it )  It's a club/organization with expats from all over the world who reside in Bangkok(Thailand) and have monthly meetings to do all kinds of things. Wine and cheese tastings, movie or sports outings, restaurant visits, book/cars shows, ect.  After meeting  members can even set up thier own get togethers with friends.

If in Pattaya there are at least 2 expat clubs that have weekly meetings with a breakfast brunch that have free lawyers and info on visas, health (life,homeowners,car) insurance, extensions and a host of other subjects. There is a German expat club as well.

In Bangkok a number of the Malls have ice skating rinks if you say your'e too hot. Even one that has indoor skiing/snow boarding.

Hahaha!! Where do I sign up??

So as I suspected no one knows.

MODS - Pls closed thread.

You're right, I was always welcome at the OAP drop-in centre for a free coffee and biscuit served by the old ladies.

Here .............. nothing.

Nah that's real harsh that. I love being here but yes it has challenges.

 

But maybe you have a point but it's difficult to imagine life without the children.

 

 

Maybe a bit harsh, but very limited in what to do here and it's too damned hot anyway!

When do you ever get invited to occasions here like you would several times back home during a year, here the calendar is empty. Anyone who says otherwise is living in denial. Simply nothing going on.

I go out drinking here 4 or 5 times a week to numb the boredom, when I was in the UK a few years back I went to pub twice in 17 days, was way too busy actually doing things instead. 

If it wasn't for my kids I would have been out of this hole years back. It's staggeringly boring here, unless you are either an alchie or a whore munger. Absolutely no other reason to be here, at all.
