Hellfire

I had a dream where I saw the winning lottery numbers. I rushed out, bought a ticket, and used them — and guess what? I hit the jackpot! But just as I was celebrating, I finally woke up.

That is a typical gambler's behaviour. They lose millions, then have a little bit of luck, win 100k and feel like the happiest people on Earth. It is hard to understand idiots.

Does your “gf” have a penis?

Friendship is something that’s supposed to happen naturally. Yet, with these “very friendly” Thais, it is almost never the case. Isn’t that strange? What’s the point of friendliness if it does not lead to actual friendship between people?

In my experience, people in Thailand are not genuinely friendly. It’s mostly a mask of friendliness that most of them wear with impressive skill. Anyone who stays here for more than a couple of weeks per year and has an IQ over 100 can see the deeply hypocritical nature beneath the surface. For example, how many AseanNow users have actually managed to form a true male friendship while living here? If we exclude the idiots who can build a “friendship” even with the cockroaches in their Pattaya condos, the real numbers are laughably low. Isn’t that a real reflection of their (the Thais’) “friendly” nature?

Most likely. It’s definitely not due to the size of his baggage, as mentioned above. A difference of 3 kg doesn’t significantly affect the size of any luggage.

For me, it's a completely obvious case. A drunk prostitute attacked a foreigner who did everything possible to avoid confrontation. Several low-grade Thais (taxi drivers and other scum) were watching all of this. In none of the provided videos do we see the Swede showing aggression toward the prostitute. Perhaps at some point he stopped restraining himself and responded to this drunken animal. After that, 3–4 other animals jumped on the Swede to beat him bloody. You have to live in Thailand for a while to understand what kind of wild beasts lurk behind these seemingly harmless creatures.

Such a childish idea… We obviously rot when we die. Inspiring my ass.

I have recently moved to live to Isaan. Opposite to my expectations, it looks like quite a wild place. Driving etiquette is awful compared to Pattaya… Most of the men are sexually disturbed (my sexy gf gets the non-end stares). Kinda barbaric place overall. Why was not I warned on this forum about it? A bunch of hypocrites, all of you! Rented a villa for one year, no choice but to stay in this <deleted>hole now. My only hope is that the walls of my villa are high enough.

Did your current wife has ever cheated on you? You always claim here that cheating is normal. I wonder if it is still normal for you when you yourself deal with it?

As I wrote in the beginning of my previous message - I have succeeded to get a new passport (not an extended one).

I have a new passport valid until August 2026. Now I have another question. Since this is my second consecutive retirement visa and I already have 800,000 THB in my own bank account, shouldn’t I be paying Maneerat Agency less than I did last year (which was 20,000 or 25,000 THB)? That was my first application, and they helped fund my account at the time. Wouldn't 10,000 or 15,000 THB be a more reasonable fee for their services now?

I will definitely ask for a new 1 year passport (they refuse to give me one for a longer period) from my embassy. There are only 3-4 free pages left in the old one anyway.

Just got from MANEERAT now. Was quite surprised. They told me that if I get a 1 year extension of my passport for one year (which is manually added to the existing passport) - this passport may be not eligible for the Retirement visa prolongation (extension, renewal - call it whatever you want). She told me that the extended passport is actually not a normal passport (even if it looks exactly like one). Any thoughts?

through the maneerat agency

I got a retirement visa about 1 year ago for 1 year . I think it is NON-O-A. Now I interested in the procedure of extending this visa for one more year. I am especially interested in the passport validity minimum.

If I understood you right, if this is my second retirement visa application (in a row) - it is considered as an extension and I don't need to go through 2 months waiting period again before the visa is issued?

My question is specifically about minimal validity of the passport. The embassy is ready to give me a passport for one year exactly but as I heard there may need a month or two more before they can process my visa application.

A new retirement visa for one year. The old one expires in July.

What is the minimum passport validity required to apply for a retirement visa? Thanks.

well, it could be 49%. Or even as low as 40. It is not a science, just an opinion. These days of Trump everyone have a right for their own opinions.

I don't believe a single word of yours.

But you're so small—your thoughts, your way of thinking, your tendency to idolize insect-like perspectives... There's no way you could ever be a master. Let me guess: just a hundred years ago, your ancestors were digging in the dirt with their bare hands.

There are no tourists in this world. Only other human beings. What kind of human being you personally are to post stupidities like this? Look into yourself- there is something definitely missing.
