The UK pension, if you spend carefully and budget, allows you to live in abject poverty.

I am now....god honest truth.....last night wife told be she had signed a contract to build a three bed house on about 5 rai of land she bought 10 years ago!!!!! All her money. Assuming she doesn't dump me, it means I can now live rent free....back of the net.

Could be just trying to butter you up?

Since 1993 on and off.

It's a shame to think a 'normal' person might just want to have a chat with a stranger and you are so wary, but I am. Have they been drinking, how are they dressed, how do they approach you, are they with anyone, if they turn nasty can you handle yourself? Sad, in many ways that those things go through my mind.

You as well??

They're mulling over that one.

Oh definitely...????.....a little light, background entertainment.

So! How is this water going to reach the gulf if not via the Chao Phraya River? And if it is possible to divert the water directly into the Gulf, why don't they just do this every time to avoid flooding?

?????

I suspect you only need to be dressed and have money.

Progress.

Which begs the question......what the hell have they been doing, if not coming up with plans?

You have to be joking! Why would it make any difference to them? The money goes to the Treasury?

The big question immigration have in mind regarding a visitors visa is..... "what is there to make your partner want to return to Thailand"?. Kids? Property? Work? Her own business? Had lots of dealings with the UK visa system over the years.....any suspicion she might remain illegally and they refuse out of hand.

You would have to be mental to buy in BKK.....it is doomed. Korat might be the place to be. Lot of money shifting up that way, just look at Mu Si and that area.....starting to boom (boom).

Got to hand it to him....he is on top of this.

Always pushing the boundaries......555

More d*** waving.

There are a few European bungalows around us that are built up about 1m from the ground, a good move. A lot of people don't realize houses often flooded from water seeping upwards through the ground, rather than ingress from outside flooding. Given the choice I would go for a traditional Thai house every-time.

Yes. The move to European style housing is a big mistake for a country that regularly floods.

White, male, mid-fifties, arrogant and dictatorial.......why do people vote for these lunatics???

The one thing that would put me off going into a restaurant is if there were a band playing.
