That’s exactly how it works for me. From the very beginning of the relationship (7 years in)she was told “ I am not an ATM” I will give you an allowance every month and every month you can do what you want with it. (Mum and dad get 5000 baht).Use it and there will be no more. I pay all the bills, all the food, travel expenses, we have built a house together but of course the reality is it’s hers and it works. She actually saves. Her parents want for nothing as two other sisters also contribute and they have never asked me for a baht. Getting married this year no sin sod required as they say I am good to her and have built a house. I guess I’m lucky but one thing I will say is before I got into any kind of relationship I was on these forums weighing up all the good and the bad with reference to Thai/Farang relationships and from the comments made I made my on own balanced decisions on how to proceed. So far so good.

If you eat durian and take on alcohol at the same time you run a high risk of being poisoned by an increase in aldehyde.

Durian is delicious just don’t eat it whilst drinking beer it’ll kill you.

Mon Thong for me. Got used to the smell of durian and it doesn’t bother me. Love the taste and probably eat it 3 or4 times a week during the season.. It’s Jack fruit and dragon fruit that do nothing for me, tasteless.

Don’t do it. If you take “ownership” without the green book what are you going to do if the actual owner claims you have stolen the bike. You lose the money you paid, you lose the bike and you could end up with a theft charge and later possibly deported. This really is a stupid idea there are tons of legitimate bikes for sale out there go and buy one of those and save yourself a whole heap of problems.

Every year let’s pay this a bit more lip service and then…..do nothing about it. Go door to door all you want I somehow think the perpetrators will just ignore everything being said and just burn anyway. Same old same old.

Have been following this with interest as I too am looking for a new service. Current service is generally good but of late it’s continually buffering on live tv and a few occasions when watching a series plus the guy who runs it is a self centered A’hole so I’ve had enough. I am aware of a cut cable under the sea which has been causing issues through many countries. Thought about iviewhd like you but put off by very bad reviews on trustpilot so I hope for you all is good over the coming months and you remain happy. My real interest is with Wizz tv but I don’t know anyone who has it as I have a few questions to ask and I would rather get peoples views from the “horses mouth” so to speak. Anyone out there totally happy with Wizz? Any buffering issues ( I know I need good internet and I have that). Is Wizz reliable? Grateful for genuine views good or bad. Thanks in advance.

He served 4 years so will not get an Army pension. “ Looks like an ex officer” where the hell did you get that little nugget from? What utter drivel you write based purely on your own incorrect assumption. SMH.

Don’t know for sure obviously but I would say a spider got ya. Two quite distinct “fang” marks close together suggests the possibility of a spider bite.

Not experienced the same with a family member but would say it’s highly likely he has another woman/women a ladyboy or loves the freedom he has here. The fact he has been sending money here suggests he’s either banking it to fund his travels whilst he’s here or he is “sponsoring” someone. Whether you have lost him is not something any of us can answer.

You make a very fair point and it’s likely I pay more in drinks than I would for air con if I stayed indoors. Worth it however as the eye candy is particularly good.

Yes quite lucky in that respect ( if lucky is the right word). I get to go where I want when I want. She works as a seamstress for a company so is pretty busy. I’m not one for sitting on my fat ass at home so jump on the motorcycle and get away wherever for a few days. I don’t play with other women I have no need. She trusts me and I trust her should she find time to get away. When she does it normally has a Buddhist theme so unlikely to venture towards Pattaya or other such places. She also has never been one for being around any bar environments anyway. I met her in a furniture shop.

1600 baht air con bill this month only on 6-8 hours a day/night the rest of the time I’m out in an Amazon enjoying their free air, a cold beverage with the ear pods in. Bill was better than expected.

I just shake my head at the Thai hypocrisy. Any chance they get they dob someone in to the authorities here in Thailand yet they think it’s completely acceptable to work illegally elsewhere and kick off when they get caught out. These idiots protesting are making it worse for everyone else especially those who are working legally as they will now come under greater scrutiny.

I would go for the geese option or dog wise a Thai Ridgeback. A very loyal, strong, menacing guard dog that someone would be very foolish to mess with.
