Crime Thai Singer Sek Loso Sentenced to 3 Years Without Parole
happydreamer replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
This makes me really sad. When I started coming here in 2012 I started getting into the music because it was fun to be out with friends at the local hangs and know the words. The girls used to seem to dig it too. Reminds me of a really fun time in life. The bands in those early days were so good -
Only buy supplements off the shops on Lazada that have the LazMall or Official Shop stamps. Otherwise you're rolling the dice. Got caught up in this a few times.

Theo did a decent job, 4 or 5 playoffs and a WS...which for the Cubs took 108 years. I was on my way here in 2017 when they won it. Saw the last inning at Incheon airport. Woke up the next morning in Bangkok to Cubs news in Thai on the back page of the Times. Got my wife into baseball so I have someone to watch with. Kinda explained to her that if you were from somewhere with non major market teams you kinda needed to pick some big market teams if you wanted to see magic in October. I dont understand Chicago in general. For a city our size they dont put money into sports teams

Nice. please beat the Cubs. Lived in Chicago 42 years before moving here. Sox management hates us fans.

So where did you meet your Thai girlfriend or wife?

I love insulting girls when I first meet them. If they stick around you now they're legit 🙂. Great story mate. -
So where did you meet your Thai girlfriend or wife?
happydreamer replied to MalcolmB's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
In front of the former Glow nightclub in 2018. We were trying to get in but there was a curfew going on at the time and as we were in line the place was getting shut down for the night. We both went for the same cab at the same time so I asked where her and her friend were going. Turns out they were going to the same place so we rode there together. When we got to the next place we got a table and she handed me her business card. I think that was her attempt to make it known to me she had a career and wasn't some pick-up girl. I was impressed. And that was the beginning of it. We colloquially started calling it 'BK Taxi Love Story' after our first year. Married in 2020 -
Community What are people paying for rent in Bangkok ?
happydreamer replied to CharlieH's topic in Bangkok
Rent can be as cheap as 3k per month and as much as over 200k. I pay in excess of 60k to live in a place that doesn't attract short times and content creators with bad shirt collections -
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.

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.

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.

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
