Rescued ? Interrupted a good sleep is more like it ????

At Uni level, yea, on campus, kid was going through ฿35k a month, we were living on ฿30k a month ... ???? Krap Unis in Udon Thani, if we stayed there and she lived at home. No Uni at PKK, A. Muang. Pays for itself though, good job resulted from getting degree.

That kind of deceit goes above & beyond some of their other issues: https://www.hotcars.com/problems-with-toyotas-nobody-talks-about/#toyota-tundra-ndash-accelerator-pedal-failure https://getjerry.com/car-repair/common-problems-with-toyota#what-are-the-most-common-toyota-problems https://atlcolumbus.com/7-common-toyota-problems-and-how-to-address-them/

As posted already, was there last year https://aseannow.com/topic/1294253-udon-thani-is-underrated/page/3/#comment-18073882 Actually stage (music/footie) is/was at UD Town, hence the 'only Chang products' comment, if still having the monopoly. Wasn't my thing anyway. When munching, I always BYO / Beer Lao Dark, if sipping.

I consider that, kid @ 79 completely irresponsible. Kids need more than financial stability, and almost guaranteed the kid will feel the loss of his father at a very young age. Or watch his mental state deteriorate even more than it already is ????

My dog fills the void of daughter, since not living nearby, PKK vs BKK. Got to have someone/thing to talk to and make you laugh. Heading to BKK next week, daughter having free time. Try to squeeze in a visit monthly. Chit chattin' on FB is fine, but not the same, like having dinner or lounging around, watching a movie together.

Don't know about filling a void, how about just doing something good, if financially and mentally able to. Retired, so had the time and the money. After I threw the kid's (2yr old), mother out, I kept the kid. Mother never came back for her, and MIA all the time. Either keep the kid to fill that void ???? ... Or get a dog, and since the kid was already house broken, seemed like a no brainer ???? While I played single parent, grandpa/ma would take for the weekend, so I could get my freak on, not knowing they were mentally abusing her, and for some reason, enjoy telling her "nobody loves you" until she literally cried. No wonder she cut all ties with them, and adopted us last year. Anyway, after I stopped letting them watch her, she still would cry herself to sleep, since nobody 'loved her'. Of course I did, told her so, and told her, I always will and would always be there for her. Damn ... how do you break that promise to a wee one. 22yrs later, Uni grad, and definitely the best thing that ever happen, or I ever stuck with. Anyone that is that intelligent, and can make me laugh that much ... ... I'm keeping ???? Never wanted kids, and definitely had no plans on having one, prior to or after retiring at 45 yrs old. Now 68 and wouldn't change a thing. Am glad I never had one before, as selfishly enjoyed my single, irresponsible, extra money in the pocket life, without kids. Never had the maturity, time or money to raise a kid properly in the USA IMHO, or would consider any women I knew, mother material. Inconvenient disaster waiting to happen, so best avoided.

oops ... ???? ... any more than I already do

Not sure how I could love my daughter anymore, simply because she has my DNA. Aside from being there for the birth, surely an amazing experience, but not seeing how the rest would mean more or less, birth vs not. Did you adopt also, to come up with that analysis ?

"With Title 42 in place, US authorities were able to swiftly expel would-be migrants attempting to cross the border from Mexico - including those seeking humanitarian asylum" You're in Mexico, seek asylum there as you obviously already escaped your oppressive state. There should be NO humanitarian asylum granted from the Mexican or Canadian border. Imm shouldn't even accept the applications.

I think you just screwed yourself for next 90 day report.

... now you did it. The farangs will start Q'ing up awaiting the monks return from alms collecting.

I quite enjoy mine, POCO X3 NFC, purchased Nov 2020 and no issues. Wife has a RedMi Note 9 PRO she likes LAZ Xiaomi flagship store: https://www.lazada.co.th/shop/xiaomi

Opposite of OP, and my immigration experiences have been at Nong Khai, Udon Thani, Hua Hin, for marriage, retirement, Thai national support visa extensions. But I do know ahead of time, what they want & show up with everything+ what they ask for. After the first time, I even make a point to put them in the order I see them assemble. All copies/signed before handing over, with originals handy if asked for. I find the legal paperwork part of staying in TH quite easy and inexpensive, though nothing to compare it to. Have never been asked for a 'tip', during the visa extension process from any officer. Pay with exact payment, which gives them small bank notes for those that don't. It's TH, and I don't expect everyone to speak fluent American, as I certainly don't speak fluent Thai of even close to it. I've enjoyed the ease of processing with all gov't offices;, land / auto transfers, DL by simply knowing what they want & providing it. Did the OP seriously state: "at the last counter, they asked, in THAI ONLY, for this residence paper... never heard of it" Does explain a lot, and IOs have my sympathies.

I always found the place around the ring rd, and other neighborhoods better for relaxing, munching, music, sipping socializing. Only went night market in late afternoon, very early evening, to beat the crowd & get easy parking spot.

Think your friend may have been mistaken, as I think 1, maybe 2 AN members ordered cars.

Correct you are, brain freeze. Best music in town though, and I used to walk over from Preecha Market as my preferred munching & sipping area. Used to be able to cut through BKK H. parking area for a <500 meter stroll. Been more than a few years since party mode. Was at Preecha last year. edit:

Tawan Daeng is right next to the night market, along with UD Town had a stage, still shows on google sites.. Had bands or big screen footie. Only negative, Chang products served, or used to be the exclusive beverage. Others available or BYO. Guessing a few people commenting actually haven't spent much time at the night market, or Udon Than. Great metro area for being single and not wanting/needing P4P.

Use when appropriate, and an excellent flavor enhancer. Misunderstood is an understatement, as I use it sparingly, since many food naturally already have it. Foods naturally high in MSG: https://msgdish.com/glutamate-foods-naturally-contain-msg/

Xiaomi fan here also. Poco is their brand also (for India) but widely available on their authorized resellers. Very nice cameras and values.

Also on TPB

You can repeat it, but doesn't make it so. If read Thai script news, you may find out about more. You seem to ignored my previous post: UT definitely one of the better, if not best large metros in TH to live in, if you don't mind the pollution or get out & about a lot. But don't try to tell me murders are rare, per se', and a bit of crime is very low. Not really something to worry about, if using common sense, but it does happen.

If I wanted cheap, I would have kept the Mazda2, as nothing wrong with it or bought the Celerio or MG3 or Extender, if wanting a less expensive MG. ฿750 or ฿949k isn't cheap for 4 wheel transport. I don't do cheap, I do value for THB. Have a nice day ... putting you back on 'the list', and should know better by now. Same ol' broken record. You could just quote yourself from page 1 of this thread, save yourself the typing.

... again ????
