NORDO

There was a USA comedian Robin Williams, said man has two brains but only enough blood to operate one at a time.

As stupidly fubbard and messed up as this sounds, I got tired of listen to her bitch about disgracing her family and me not pay sinsod. So got married. actually in the end it was probably the best way to find out her game plan and get rid of her. Granted, it wasn’t my smartest decision. But was a good lesson on trusting a Thai girl.

I’ve seriously considered Udon, Ubon, Roi Et. Definitively had enough of BKK.

I found a young lassie 20 years my jr. lived together 3 years in Lat Phrao area. Great life. Decide to get married. First thing she said afterwards was “ now ur money my money”. She flew back to BKK next day on her own. However quickie annulments are easily obtained when u can prove abandonment and fraudulent intentions . She would have been okay if would have just keep her mouth shut and stuck it out a month or so. The annulment took about 62 days to process and be stamped. Cost me about 4000 Euro. Now I’m only interested in Rental units. Made it to Trang so far, no issues yet.

Most certainly, I just retired from the travel industry and very aware of that. Especially daunting when u work remote or from home.

Yes, I agree. Im able to by-passs most, BUT NOT ALL, by select a western home country IP on my VPN. However as you mentioned, on Social media , Bezo and Ebay it won't work.

Doubt you want to go to Krabi for Visa extension, however its the easiest Iv ever done. 2000 thb, they fill out the TM7 for you, take the photos for you and you are out of there in ten to fifteen minutes. Go before 09:30, wear long pants and shirt.

sorry, just pre-posting...the local lassies gave me a B-day party this afternoon a day early cause I start my BKK to SIN bike ride tomorrow and Ill be gone. Just tiding up all the little details

I like the verification steps and many of the financial institutions are already using them. I just use a vyke wifi number and they text me a code. Takes seconds. It happens whether I using VPN or not. Most Gov agencies are already using the ID verification steps. Facebook is the only real issue Ive run into and given the big "FIVE EYES", I can't understand why someone would post their real name, photos and personal data on social media. Likewise with Ebay and Bezo.

Im using Proton VPN with my own or dedicated IP. I have a choice of over 100 Countries and States/Provinces to connect through. Some sights lock u out when using it, but some make it easier to disguise your in Thailand, when the site thinks your in your western home country. The rotating dedicated IP attracted me to Proton.

21 DEC.... 69 years today and first day of retirement. Been living /working SE Asia for 11 eleven years and dreaming about this day. Scared Sh_tless on what to do next. Have already done many of the Thai things and wonder what comes next. Pensions add up to about 6k Euros monthly, so Im not poor, but not rich either. But, the cost and availability of health insurance is concerning me. Been considering VN over TH, anybody have comments about retirement comparisons? Ive lived and worked in VN/Lao/Cambodia/TH/INdo, so know my way around, but never looked at the retirement comparisons. Comments?
