  1. if the account is not in joint names obviously that would be illegal
  2. the last thing you want to do is publicise your win.
  3. I found a woman on a Thai dating website who offered to take care of me, including cooking, cleaning, shopping, massage, and perhaps additional services when requested a dating site seems the logically appropriate place to look for a carer. what could possibly go wrong? a quick google search will provide you with several appropriate solutions to your problem.
  4. don't care, because i won't be here, yeahhhhh!
  5. fare(!) enough if you don't want to mix with the riff raff on the 8 baht non aircon bus...
  6. i guess the giant air filter the BMA installed at central world didn't work... so, plan B...
  7. i've always wondered why motorcyclists ride with their feet/foot sticking out to the side, i doesn't look like motorcycles were designed to be ridden that way, or particularly safe
  8. indeed, just look at the horizon post office scandal in the uk
  9. mate, tip of the iceberg, if you feel that strongly thailand is not the place for you
  10. just because i don't live in issan it doesn't mean i live in a tourist ghetto, thank you very much. ...and drying rice, or using the highway for anything other than vehicles, is clearly dumb and possibly dangerous. and using for food potentially unhygienic.
  11. assuming this tale is genuine, a little common sense goes a long way. at immigration never draw attention to yourself, just be another tourist arriving. only speak of spoken to, remain calm and polite at all times. if an IO behaves in any way unprofessionally to your detriment calmly and clearly ask to speak to a superior. personally, i've never had any issue with a thai IO, those i have seen having issues have always been brought about by their words, actions or behavior, or the words, actions behavior of their thai partner! that's tip 2, go alone.
  12. quick true story. an ex gf, a university graduate with middle management job, told me she could expect a sinsot of around 200k, however would be happy to marry without sinsot to the right guy. she married a european guy and talked him into paying 2.4 million sinsot. the result of this is that she, and her family, have zero respect for him. she openly calls him a fool. at family gatherings her relatives mock him for being a fool. he no doubt believes they adore and respect him because he is soooo generous.
  13. it amazes me how many foreign men and the occasional foreign woman, who usually hold all the financial and educational cards, cede power and control within a relationship to their other half. low self esteem, low feeling of self worth, the desperation to be liked and ego flattery are, i suggest, to blame. but, as long as the guys are happy then horses for courses. not for me though.
  14. sounds, sadly, like you've lived a cautious life. it may sound strange to the puritans, but there are some pretty amazing experiences out there
  15. i'm into music rather than guitarists, but check out youtube, that guy prince could certainly play.
  16. he's alright but has a limited scope to his playing, could never be described as a great guitarist
  17. and a trailer with 18 wheels lacking brakes that's a new excuse, a truck without brakes
  18. i'm getting moore (sic), 2.1% with K bank easy access savings. getting over 5% back home but have to have it here
  19. indeed, i went with a gf to get a new driving license, it took ages, queue after queue, reasonably well organised but very bureaucratic and time consuming. back home i can sort out a new license with a few computer clicks. thailand in the digital age? not yet.
  20. horses for courses.
  21. indeed, chatbot or not it's very badly written
  22. chromecast works well a vpn and HDMI connection to a laptop works or simply buy a smart tv, keep an eye out at the shopping malls you can get decent smart tvs at great prices here
  23. i've been on defibrillator/CPR course and can recommend it to anyone. you never know...
