  1. Language is not a problem. I can speak Thai and always use it. Will try more and again. There is nothing else I can do.
  2. Maybe it's simple for you, but not for me. I don't have an answer on that. Live with a kids that's needs assistance and plus has autism, the divorce, the settlement after that. I wasn't rich and I am poor now. Never wanna use that and now cannot apply for it.
  3. The only place I remember didn't ask me for passport was in Korat. They know me, cheap place and safe for my situation. My first idea was to go there for these days, but cannot afford. I gonna look more hostels here and dives hotels. And thank you again.
  4. I speak honestly about my situation and visa status, but seems noone wanna take the risk.
  5. This is the kind of situation where you figure out who you can consider friends and who you can't. I've found much more empathy and solidarity among you "strangers" than among those who profess to be friends.
  6. A question: with two lines only in my passbook, do you think I can ask the bank to add some pages or they will go for a new one? This is also something I need to sort out before leaving. Thank you
  7. I am not on Facebook or social medias. Try to avoid them. Thank you for the suggestion.
  8. I appreciate your words. I understand but also I understand them. I am willing to meet anyone who wanna help. No problem for that. And is not even money I need: as I wrote many times just a floor with a roof to be safe. Thank you again for your effort.
  9. Mine still has a line or two left before it's full. In that case, do they attach the pages or make a new one?
  10. My passport is new so the visa is still on the old one. Totally empty.
  11. I don't blame my children: they can't do anything about it. The son is autistic, the daughter is still in school, and the eldest, who lives in Buriram, has a family and is having problems with her son. I might have had a plan B, but the divorce was worse than I thought. Unfortunately, this is the reality. Now I'm out looking for any place that will allow me to stay with my situation, and if not, I'll start asking at the nearby temples. Unfortunately, starting tomorrow, I'll be out on the streets: you can say a lot, but this is the reality for me.
  12. Appreciate what you wrote. Even a floor is ok. I am an easy guy, no troublemaker and ready to meet wherever I need to meet.🙏 As you wrote, I think I will end in some temple so better be prepared for that.
  13. Whoever sends me the money will do so only on January 2nd. If they could have done it earlier, they would have already done so.
  14. You're absolutely right, and I don't blame you for attacking me. I'm just trying to survive for 13 days, getting out of a situation (the divorce) that turned out worse than I expected. And I'm aware of the risks and willing to pay the consequences, even if I don't want to.
  15. Do you remember the name? I will anyway take a look now. Thank you
  16. May I ask why this would be a joke? Every time someone finds themselves in a shi*** situation, just because they talk about it and seek help, they're labeled as a liar, if not worse. What's happening to me will certainly never happen to any of you, and I certainly hope so. Then go on thinking whatever you want. I'm not hurting anyone, I'm not begging for money, but the only one who'll be out on the street in a few hours is me, not you. Thank you.
  17. Overstay will be sorted out on January 7th when I will leave the country. My priority know is how to get the statement of few days.
  18. Last night I followed your advice and went to three different hostels but they all want the passport. Gonna try again.
  19. It's a bad idea. I was even thinking about not saying anything and sleeping on the floor in the back of the house, coming in at night when she's asleep. It certainly wouldn't be the best solution, but I'd avoid staying out. And I'd leave before she wakes up.
  20. And I have no problem to meet you or/and your wife. I just need few days to be safe and back my home.
  21. Still at home as she is not here but she will back tomorrow morning.
  22. I am not fake. Food is always an issue, but my first one is have a roof on my head.
  23. She doesn't but she didn't convinced her to keep me in for few days.
  24. I agree with that. Meet in person is correct.
  25. I looked online for "dive hotels" but seems to me pretty expensive and better than hostels. I just typed "dive hotels Pattaya": I am doing right? And, again, thank you a lot for your effort and help. No matter if you will help or not, but won't forget what are you doing for me🙏
