Not sure if you're 100% there. I painted my house in Udon, years ago, and asked imm here about it. I was told it was not a problem as long as my name was on the chanote.. It is. I still work on the house.. Never had a problem. Hope they didn't lie to me. 😉

Underwater world Pattaya? Same as Thai price. Pink ID card..50/50 on Parks. I don't get the 10baht payment for hospitals, as I'm not Thai.. Military hospital cheap. Doctor's clinic, dentist, optometrist.. Same as Thai. Yes, I am accompanied by the wife at markets etc as my Thai is atrocious I'm not lecturing, mate .. You say the Thais smirk as they say "farang".. I don't agree.. Not in my circles. Don't care how long you've been here.. I'm 12 years and 25 more intermittently.. I know enough. I won't be wasting my time replying to you again. We're going to the market. Have a great day.

Don't understand you, mate. I never get charged double at markets or anywhere else, and it's been 12 years here. My missus doesn't like people who rip off my/her money.. Thais don't seem to look down on me either.. Treat them with respect and humour and see what happens.. Mind you, I am in Issarn.. Friendlier people up this way, maybe.

No aircon in March, April and May, in Udon at night would be cruel.. What's the point in living here, for a better life, and melting through the night? If people can't handle a few hundred baht rise, maybe they really shouldn't be here. Just an opinion

No.. The Australian govt didn't "just". Can you find anything a bit more current than 3 years ago?

In Australia plumbers are lionised and worshipped if theyre your mate or relatives. Otherwise we hate them because they're in short supply, and charge like wounded bulls. I've a couple of mates at homewho are plumbers.. No good now.. I live in LOS, not Oz. Anybody know a good one here? ????????
