It's hard, I know, but narrow it down to your top 3 fav Thai dishes.

For me:

1. Stir fried chicken & cashew with steamed rice

2. Isaan grilled pork with a spicy salty dipping sauce, a (Thai) papaya salad with salty duck eggs and pork rinds added, and sticky rice and raw local veggies too.

3. Massaman curry

You could change your extension of stay to one based upon marriage or being the parent of a Thai.

You could first apply for a 60 day extension to visit your wife or child that does not require financial proof.

I am currently on an extension based on work.

My question is: if I wanted to change back again to an extension based on being parent of a Thai child, could I make the change to a 60 day family extension first? 

Then, later extend it for a year with financial proof.

Thank you ????

Hypothetical question:

Suppose you wanted to switch back again (from an extension of stay based on work to an extension based on family).

Could you make that switch and just get a 60 extension to begin with (based on family), rather than going straight for the one year extension right away?

The reason I ask is because to my knowledge the 60 day family extension doesn't require proof of funds in the bank, but the one year extension does, right?

Let's return to 2002

 

How has life changed in that 20 years,to where you are now.

It was 20 years ago, God answered my prayers to send me to live somewhere with loads of easy, hot women.

I was thinking somewhere in Europe, like Magaluf, or as it was known "Shagaluf" to us 15 year old virgins.

Well, God indeed outdid himself. I must have insulted him by saying that the loose British women who went to Magaluf were hot.

Interesting, Microsoft Azure not here?

there was a knock on the door.

 

It was Gop whom she knew. 

 

Gop said "oops sorry, wrong room" but Alongkorn was not having that

What a plan, lol!

They shook hands and left it at that.

 

But while Alongkorn had his back turned Gop grabbed a knife that was lying around on a cabinet and attacked her boyfriend. 

Ah, yes.

Once again, a Thai who cannot fight fair.

Is thai cuisine the best food in the world?

Indian food, chinese food and thai food are my favourite.

But I think thai food is best.

What do you think?

Well, I suppose it's all about personal taste.

My list goes something like this:

1. British (meat n two veg, stews, soups, pies, roasts, fry up breakfasts, fish n chips, haggis, black pudding, good bread, UK style Chinese)

2. Lebanese (hummus, salads, flat breads, falafel, tasty healthy veggie options, shawarma)

3. Indian (love a good curry, amazing breads and rice, dopiaza, tikka, bhoona, daal, delicious veggie curries, amazing lamb)

4. Mexican (the burritos, the tacos n nachos, jalapenos, beans, salsa, sour cream, guacamole, amazing spices n flavors)

5. Thai (Isaan grilled meats, sticky rice, papaya salad, massaman curry, pad Thai, fried chicken, chicken cashew, good duck, noodle soups)

6. Greek (moussaka, salads, breads, goat's cheese, grilled meats, lots of healthy and tasty options)

7. French (pate, breads, cheeses, cold meats, pastries, cakes, French onion soup, wine, coffee, baguettes)

8. American ( mainly for the sandwiches, burgers, and hotdogs)

9. Italian ( love spaghetti, lasagne, pizza)

10 Japanese (good sushi, ramen, healthy options and tasty)

It's scary to think these people live among us .

What do you guys drink when you are not drinking? 

I just don't find Diet Coke very satisfying and there's only so much tea n coffee I can handle.

What a good beer substitute? 

But not Heineken Zero. That's more expensive than real beer, lol

Why do you ( and others that live here ) care about UK politics, or indeed, anything that happens there? 

I don't really fancy going back to a crazy country, to be honest.

Kinda liked the UK the way it was a couple of decades ago.

Another twerp who thinks he is entitled to break the law and do something he wouldn't dare do in his own country

He seems to be taking the "when in Rome" thing a bit too far.

Frankly, I am more concerned about the madness on the roads in general (which is Thais).

Thais are an awful influence and some farang clearly get caught up in it. No excuse though.

The only thing that gets me is when they see a farang doing something wrong, they are so quick to condemn, but they themselves are attrocious on the roads and unashamed about breaking the rules. 

They were probably just <deleted> off they couldn't drive as recklessly as they wanted with the rollerblader on the road.

Let's be honest, they don't care about the safety of others, or --.more bizarrely -- themselves on the road.
