  1. When I moved here permanently in 2018 (after going back and forth for the first three years) I moved here with 240 lbs of things which was three suitcases and 2 moving boxes. I fit whatever I could fit into those containers and have simply rebuilt since then. I used to have a storage locker in the US with my entire life of 42 years that I spent there thinking one day I'd bring it over. Reality is...I moved here to start a new life. I married a woman from here and didn't want to bring anything from my old life and failed relationships. So I parted with a storage locker of designer furniture (Room and Board, Design within Reach, West Elm), art supplies, actual art, cameras, studio gear, you name it... I let my ex-gf pick through it so I knew it was at least going to someone who could appreciate it. It hurt but it was a lesson in letting go.
  2. Im of the thought process that things like this rarely happen to innocent victims. We all know the scams, we all know how the supers go missing and non-responsive when it comes to deposits. That deposit was gone the month it was given. The owner never had any intention on giving it back and overstaying two weeks certainly didn't help the vandal in getting the deposit back. I would never do something like this, but I can see how someone who is less stable emotionally would.
  3. I can't really go into details here but it's happened on multiple occasions. It can be probably be categorized as "VIP Express Service" I guess
  4. Good luck on it all bud. Ive had nothing but issues with marriage visa. There's a lot of scrutiny at the immigration office in Bangkok especially if you do not own a home and rent. There's so many ways for them to deny you and make you come back. So if you go this route make sure that you follow each step to the letter. I was denied my visa and made to come back last year because my bank account slipped to 398K for a few hours while waiting for a bank transfer to clear from the US. And mind you that ws the third year I went to renew my spouse visa. They look for ways to make you miserable. Or extort you. Best of luck.
  5. She probably has no clue what you're saying. If you indeed pronounced it the way you spelled it you were asking for either gold or something about your stomach. And nung ? What does that mean? Nong? As in younger person? Sai toong na kap, probably will work. Give it a whip next time
  6. People from western countries come here and lose their minds. The things you think are gonna get you, aren't the things that get you or drive you crazy. It's the small things, that over time grate, irritate and add up that cause meltdowns like this. In addition to the blistering heat, possible dehydration, and who knows what substances ingested. Add a woman into the equation and you've got the perfect recipe for a major malfunction like this
  7. Granted that Thai humor is more of the slapstick nature and intelligent or tongue in cheek humor usually flies overhead. However, in the 7 years we've been together I've exposed her to things that are humorous in nature that tend to be more on the witty, intelligent, and or tongue in cheek type and she's finally started to pick up on it. She shocked me one time when she used one of my jokes against me. She sees the humor in Big Lebowski. She understands some of the stuff thats funny about old episodes of Arrested Development. Archer is still quite over her head. But the important thing is that she's trying
  8. Seems like nothing a good ol fashion wai and a bow won't solve </sarcasm>
  9. My standards for what's cool have changed over the years. Ive gotten to the point now where I've given up alcohol and nightlife but a few years ago I was enjoying some of the more loungey places where you can get bottle service and a table for your party. 335, Rabbit Hole, and Iron Balls used to be good for that. Before COVID when I was more into the House scene 12x12 was a great spot followed up by T-Rex at 2 or 3 am. Depends what you're looking for. There's something for everyone here. Thats the great thing about BK.
  10. I don't understand the fascination with Ketamine. Even some 25 years ago when I was much younger and dumber it was just never something I thought was enjoyable.
  11. One demographic, three countries, 100% of the complaints. Who wants to go first?
  12. Sad story. Heartbreaking for his family. I think of all the times I was out drinking what was passed off as Lao Kao when it could have easily been anything. The one thing I would never do though is mess with the dope here. There's so many other places in the world to go if you wanna mess with drugs. Let this serve as a warning to any young kids coming over here....make sure your drinks come from a bottle, can or something that you open and for fuxsake stay away from drugs. If you're lucky it's crushed up glass. Be safe and RIP young man
  13. During Year 2 when I lived in Chiang Mai and life here was still an adventure i had a thai friend explain to me....."sometime..you just need to sleep where u are. U take a break and go later"
