I just did a full brasilian.

Feel much better now.

I hope she enjoyed it. 

What was she/he full of -  herself/himself, food, beer, gas? 

Just curious. 

Children have always needed guidance but it is a rite of passage as teenagers to ignore one's elders. Rebellious youth it's what kids do. It's what we did when we were their age. It's what youngsters do nowadays and  will do in the future.

It is a part of growing up, how we learn, how we express ourselves, how we start to experience adulthood  

Some of the learning we as parents try to instill in our children we hope lodges in some dark recess of their brain to emerge blinking in the sunlight at some future point. 

The world is full of pitfalls, disappointments, traps, charlatans, predators, sexual or otherwise. Naturally we are fearful of our children being taken advantage of but credit them with some intelligence. Thankfully, most of them can think for themselves and can spot the cons and the lowlife.    

I have not dealt with them myself but they appear legit .

What are their outgoings?

Do they own the "small house" or are they paying rent?

You mention insurance. Is that medical insurance? If so, does it include both parents and the 12 year old.

What are her schooling costs?

Utility bills?

Does the father still have the van? Is he making repayments on it?  Insurance, repairs?

Whilst many people are forced toget by on 300 baht a day or less, it leaves nothing spare for most of the items above. 

What can you afford? How much responsibility do you want to shoulder?

You want to be supportive of your girlfriend so it's a difficult choice but limits do need to be set and adhered to unless a genuine crisis arises.

I had a quick look but couldn't find any borescopes with a focal length greater than 10cm. 

Presumably you have a reason for not wanting to use a standard cable and pipe detector?

A heavy duty option might be a drain or sewer camera but I don't know if you would be able to hire one here.

Ahoy -  STI s on the horizon. 

OP you obviously have your own doubts but if you've came on here expecting some reassurance from this bunch of cynics you're onto a hiding to nothing.???? 

By your own admission she drinks alone in her room, sometimes goes absent and throws tantrums. On that basis it sounds as if she would not be easy to live with. Do you feel up to that challenge?

Only you can decide how you proceed but, for your sake do it  with caution, head over heart.

Good luck, fella.

I doubt he knows how to use a modern smartphone. 

He's had two years to get to grips with it, I would guess he's pretty much au fait with it by now.????

Someone's on a fishing trip.

I have a similar issue, I have to renew mine during the pre-Songkran bottleneck at immigration. Never pleasant!

As mine is a multiple entry OA, when travel restrictions ease around the region, I intend to leave the country and reset the date on my return as ubonjoe suggests.    

She didn’t tell you did she?

She's moonlighting as an Uber driver. ????

A fully functioning prostate.

Relinquish any attachment you might have to money

Adopt a mai pen rai attitude.

Another succinct and snappy title for a post Mr. G.

Farang is as good as anything. I've been called far worse in other parts of the world, and as most Thais would struggle to pronounce my first name anyway, I'll settle for it.

You can buy a memory stick which is protected with a fingerprint. No password to remember. 

Sorry, I don't have a link. I bought them before, not expensive.

I so much miss the feeling of my female barber's soft touch on my neck, as she cuts my hair.

This is why I won't allow my wife to cut my hair,  - I fear the soft touch on my hair as she cuts my neck. ????

I guess we need to hear his side of the story but I hope he's not DUI

At 88 he shouldn't still be driving.

At 88 the fact that he can still pee freely is mighty impressive!

Korat Immigration don't  require one. 

That said, each time I take one - just in case. 

He is now looking for a young lady for short time.

Sorry, I'll get my coat.

It is not the vendor that you buy your ticket from that benefits from the overpricing. These people work a wealthy individual or company who pay them 300 baht a day. It is their employer that fixes the price and collects all the income.

Two days ago I booked a train ticket to Bangkok for next week, an interprovincial journey.
In addition to asking for sight of my passport, the ticketing clerk also asked for proof of vaccination. Not a problem, I merely opened the Mor Phrom app. and let him check the details.

However, I was taken a little by surprise. Whether this is a SRT or BMA requirement wasn't made  clear. Nor do I know whether I would have been refused the ticket had I not been vaccinated.  I have looked online but have not seen this requirement mentioned anywhere.  

I don't mind, in fact I find it slightly encouraging but has anyone else encountered something similar to this?

 

Thank you. 

Humour is the best medicine for whatever ails you.

According to their T&Cs they are meant to inform you if they are declaring the account dormant. 

That said, would they have had an updated contact address?
