  1. Postcount 2 Will take few months before 100% but if you were healthy before you'll come back. Do what you can to gain strength next 60 days. How that ties into your depression could be a thousand ways
  2. ..deal with the aftermath This is always what I've found most frustrating and even infuriating. If you are going to change the largely unwritten requirements to different or additional unwritten requirements why can't we make note of the change and follow the instructions the following year? Most of these documents are filed in duplicate for YEARS. Then, the indifference to often serious complication they themselves create Another wholly insane thing is why documents are not pre-approved and archived. Passport, marriage certificate, etc. Really, all that is needed for marriage application is KR2, proof of residence and money. The rest is just stupidity along with 90 day report.
  3. I often offload anything complicated I can't deal with to the wife. Rather than me making a hash, giving the Thai person a headache wife just takes care of it. Sometimes she a bit annoyed when busy but I remind her if the cards were different and we were living in the United States I would be taking care of everything and more in addition to finances. Wife is very supportive and even beginning to learn more about 90 day reports, visa extension packages, extension of stay nuances. The money comes back and it's always to her. I think in addition to being Thai, she usually orders the meal and I'll just add some things at the end. We are in BKK, this isn't a farang pay thing but I know the attitude common. So, stay away from that
  4. Here's my solution for BTS and MRT 500b cash, top up any station where you see no line. Line is a very shonky app. I don't trust it nor want/ need anything to do with rabbitpay. Why bother with all that?
  5. Ah, election time... Prayut really going all out tossing cash about eh? Non-stop stories
  6. Minor case of fraud against farang. Nothing will come of this. Why don't the parents get the proper paperwork from the school?
  7. Every month someone posts agent lost or stolen passport. It's not you until...well, it's you. Amirite?
  8. Because your time here as a retiree is so valuable and the knowledge you gain from diy allows you to make a proper packet and get processed in 30 minutes or less amirite???
  9. January 2023 Visa O Marriage CW. I was also asked for a second copy of everything. It's a thing now and you can blame Chinese bc IO said so. I was thinking about creating a second packet but will allow the IO to shuffle through and cull some docs/papers. They also stamp everything... seriously doubt IO wants to stamp your second packet 2x. But yeah, it's a thing
  10. How stupid can they be not to be able to halt the burning? Answer is not stupid. The burning is allowed to go on. Wasn't prayut going to fix this again this year lol 555 lol
  11. Lol Transgendered person lol A man dressed vaguely as a woman in a dress, long hair Everyone in Thailand refers to this lot as ladyboys. The word has spread worldwide. Anybody remember when using the word tranny, trannies and transvestite all were unapproved?
  12. That is true and doesn't at all discount my point. Huge meals are unhealthy unless what the person does physically supports a need. A sedientary expat it holiday maker doesn't need 3000 calories a day plus five pints and three tins of moh-gaeng
  13. It doesn't matter to a thief. Anything is more than nothing... It's free money only cost is risk. Rationale not considered Why would a thief steal a backpack? Yes, could be** money inside but highly doubtful. Why would a person steal a phone in 2023??
  14. Was the article written with ChatGPT? I cannot make sense of it.
  15. Most open without a clue of market forces a d simple supply demand. The smart ones, possibly foreign involvement see and playing a long game. As expensive as being on Sukhumvhit is these shops get the traffic. IMO the trick for weed shop is to have super low overhead, access to transport BTS/MRT or prime space but former is enough, understands market selling to, understands it's a commodity and volume game. Most will die. illegal online will undercut prices always. Can't compete with a guy selling weed out of his condo in his underwear. Government needs to require physical retail store *I know of two shops already that are closed.
  16. The difference is the Thai eat a few bites. Westerners seem to need the full plate.
  17. What Thailand has to offer is cheap tourist infrastructure, reasonable visa regime, cheap flights, travel hub both by air and land. Thailand excels in availability and ease to set up short, medium term accomodation. Thailand is warmer. Half of Vietnam weather not so pleasant in winter. Friendly women with online network, agogo if that's what you are interested in, beer/hostess bars. Hanoi is nothing much. Vietnam I'd think is where you'll find good food and perhaps a bit of adventure. Thailand for cheap and chill holiday although Vietnam can move into this space quickly with the right attitude (long term visas, accomodation and floozies).
  18. How much it's related to tourism I'm uncertain but I'm starting to see / hear Chinese returning to north central Bangkok. May be early retirees, long term visa holders, condo owners.
  19. I'd argue it's basically the same devil may care lot of working class stiffs that have always visited. The ones that take a holiday out of entitlement and desire rather than what their finances dictate. No savings Shonky job Spotty paycheck No future Sure, have a holiday
