This is why I feel maybe she isn't all that bad. This was just a natural reaction to her.

You sell one property in Moscow and you can fund your stay in Thailand until the rest of your life. I always have a laff when the average drunk sexpat tells me how "back home" the price of real estate is sky high because of those pesky foreigners. No clue.

Interesting article on CNN today. Am I allowed to post the link?

You said it not me. Even more the reason not to give some dolt agent my passport. Maybe you like your identity stolen - not me. With your completely valueless comparison, you think that I am for some reason jealous of people who use an agent. Newsflash, whatever the reason you give to Thai police, your government WILL make it more difficult to renew your passport once it is lost.

I swear to god that Starbucks today is more watered down. I remember drinking it in the past and it wasn't as bad as it is today. Personally I have nothing against this brand as they have some unique product in their gift shops and seats are actually comfortable compared to Thai offerings, but I won't be drinking their coffee anymore.

I don't have a habit of giving anyone my passport. The deal you signed with your country was to keep your passport with you at all times. A few reports here of agents losing the passport. So when you make a police report about your "lost" passport and give it to your embassy they have every right to refuse issuing you a new one. But as they say.... up to you.

Had a Beko washing machine. Nothing but issues. Replaced with LG - no issues. This is just my experience with the brand. Their aircons could be the best ever, I dunno. That being said, Beko warranty and after service has been good. They honor their warranty 100%

Temporary relief. As if you didn't get enough P.M. 2.5 particles in Thailand, so you needed more. Advice from an alcoholoic. A hard pass.

Thailand being the perfect example. Some people who come and decide to leave can not say one thing positive about Thailand. The ones who stay always keep trying to justify their existence here by wearing the rose tinted glasses? Now, why is that?

Zzzzzz

I don't know

Maybe some people like to breathe clean air?

Banking here is very scary here, I don't care that some of you have "great confidence in Thai banks." My wife finally sold her condo yesterday and after all the paperwork at the land office she was issued a cashiers check from a big bank. When she went to deposit it (at the same bank) she was told too bad the system won't allow it. After spending 2 hours at the branch and contacting the person who issued a check, she was finally "allowed" to deposit it. Imagine this happening to a rose colored glasses Farang. He wouldn't even know where to start.

From developer, right? They usually have a list of brokers they deal with. I suggest you visit another branch. Wife should know a friend of a friend who works for a bank. Wife is selling a condo and it sounds exactly like what buyers are going through. The property being new, you should be getting a much better "deal". Most will even do 100% LTV. On that note, are you sure there is no some "special promotion" where they offer like 2 years mortgage "free" or some other similar "free" perk. These are usually not free, but actually added to your loan.

First of all, did you buy used or new?

My wife who has been in industrial manufacturing for 20 years and deals with Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mazda etc.... swears by Yaris. She literally thinks it's the best car for the money. She drives Honda Jazz, but only because she got amazing deal on it. Personally I don't like Hondas. Very uncomfortable for Farang. Maybe Accord would do there days, I don't know....

Don't worry.... computers at immigration are to play solitaire and check facebook

I was gonna ask her out, but now I changed my mind.

Hard pass for me too. I canceled my Thai insurance 2 months ago after they denied the claim on two different occasions. Even if they eventually pay up after I take them to court, the stress of waiting is not worth it. I have saved more than enough for emergencies. My wife has connections with some hospitals which is better than insurance itself.

And when exiting us it's 10k. And knowing USA it will be confiscated if not declared.

Looks like she's enjoying every minute of it. Must be a hoot to hang out with. Call me.

All the savings will be futile when tourists will need a lung transplant after visiting Thailand

Who paid for lunch?

Very disappointed to read Micky had to pay to get laid.

Another ,*** day. Thanks Thailand!
