  1. Truth is somewhere in the middle as always..????
  2. Math prodigies don't fare too well either. She will probably end up a maths teacher ???? Like others have said, don't marry here and esp have kids. Thai culture is the exact opposite of our own ????
  3. Too many downsides and few upsides (to marriage) Being older, as most if us are, makes it even more pointless. As for the helper/nurse senario , I wouldn't trust a Thai to see me thru to my last days. I wonder how many old guys get the poison in the coffee treatment and we never hear abt it.
  4. My take...a glut of second hand vehicles won't mean a drop in prices (used or new) Thai logic. If anything,they might even raise prices ????
  5. It doesn't have to happen tomorrow.. I'm in the same predicament btw
  6. Isolation is a good remedy.. I thoroughly enjoy it in my later yrs. Incidentally, I agree with the o.p..and then some.. He should be making plans for an exit at some point. It's not gonna get any better.
  7. We should increase those 'challenges' facing Thai golddiggers. The more the merrier.
  8. I could find a million things to do in the sticks. As a matter of fact I'm doing them already ...but doing a 9 to 5 gig would drive me nuts in a week. ????
  9. Some are listing items that are out of stock I suspect. Then, they dash to procure them, which causes delays. I ordered an item 2 days ago.....still at 'seller to pack' stage..
  10. None since I moved all the action to my phone. Strongly recommended.
  11. Knowing the devil-may-care Thai mentality,I smell trouble for the banks Only a fool would make unsecured loans to a Thai.
  12. Slap in the wrist, 20 baht fine.... she's good to go.
  13. Beautiful words and then they proceed to censor stuff.. I've seen this movie many times before
  14. ...and don't marry again. Too many downsides and very few upsides.
  15. Tried to buy ETH with my Krung Thai and TTB visa cards and were both rejected There is sufficient money and not expired Any idea why? (On metamask and trustwallet platforms)
  16. About 20 yrs ago I started having spiritual leanings. Not particular to Buddhism but it has had a strong influence in my world view. As the years drag on, the discomfort with the world intensifies. In my late 50s now and really have to make decisions The problem is that I'm a free spirit and don't want to be pigeon-holed in this or another religion. So, life in a wat will be very limiting for me. I'm thinking to go it alone.. A shack in the countryside where I will live a monk-like existence. I have been scouting for such a place for 2 years now but without success. Any ideas from you guys? Do some of you feel the same? Thanks.
