Hi guys, never been to Pattya, but I am heading there in a few days to stay for 3 days. My idea was to get a good hotel close to the beach. Does anyone have good hotel tips or general advice? Don't need to be close to night life, already have a girl coming with me. So good standard hotel, bathtub would be ideal. Much appreciated!

I certainly don't wish it for them, but they're so demanding. There's nothing they don't want. And all to themselves!

I wish, all miserable endings.

I also help needy people on a regular basis, one girl needs a new phone, another help for school fees, one girl needed clothes, another help for food money, one needed help with her rent, there is overhwelming need across the board here.

Definitely not Shakespeare. In both the English and Spanish languages however the rabbit has become synonymous with the vagina in certain time periods. Perhaps Thai police are more erudite that we might suspect, after all some British men were involved, and Rabbit Slaughter is a learned allusion to the vagina in the slang of the producers? Why slaughter though? Because they're slaughtering the vagina film producers maybe, oh they are so lyrical these Thai police...

I did not even know such a thing exists, only reading on here did I find out. Good guess, plus flight to BKK, flight out of Thailand, all in all, it was 20000, as I also stayed one night in BKK and then took a bus back to CM as I did not intend to make even visual contact with CM immigration at the airport.

Well, it was a very tricky situation. When I got to Malaysia the Malay immigration guys were joking "Wow, these Thais are strict", and as they put their stamp in my passport one of them wrote in hand "Deported" above the stamp. Which was firstly not true, as you know you have to be let in to be deported, I was denied entry, but secondly and much more importantly, most airlines who see a "deported" in the passport are not too happy to take you to your destination as they'll bear the cost possibly to bring you back if you're denied entry. So I had that problem. Then doing some research I saw on youtube some guy who had a tourist visa STILL being denied entry because they said he'd stayed in Thailand too long, even though he had the tourist visa. So it was clear that applying for that was a waste of time. As I had nightmare visions of having to stay in the rainy gray and depressing hell hole that is KL I decided to browse these forums. And lo and behold I came across a thread where a similar problem was discussed and one forum member in particular had mentioned how he had gotten into Thailand again. I contacted him and he kindly put me in touch with the people who had helped him. It cost a fortune, I still got proper return flights, not dummy tickets and I thought I was basically clear as I'd printed out the boarding pass using the app of Malaysia Airlines and passport check is automated in KL. However, just before boarding a MAL lady asked if I had a return ticket. Luckily she didn't check the deported stamp in the passport, and I had a return ticket. So I made it onto the flight back to Bangkok. Then once in Bangkok the people who I had arranged everything with ensured I was cleared through immigration very quickly.

I did not get a tourist visa. Some cursory research on Youtube quickly showed that immigration officers would just again pull the "you lived here too long and you're not a tourist card" and that tourist visa would have been useless. With the gracious, generous help of another forum member I was able to enter LOS legally anyway. I will follow the advice to get a retirement visa.

Thanks a lot!

That's what I thought, but they were like jackal circling me in a pack. All with only one goal in mind, refuse entry. One guy even screamed at me in an agitated way. Escorted in a cell like a criminal flanked by armed security. Quite surreal. I was held from 9 am to 14.30 and not given food or water.

Thanks Dr Jack. If I get the tourist visa I guess CNX is unlikely to refuse entry on the grounds I'm not. Tourist as I styed there 19 months, I guess? I'm 53 btw.

I was thinking of that, I'm assuming a tourist visa is granted after 5-10 days and let's me get back in faster.

I arrived in March 2023 and after the initial visa waiver got an ED visa for one year. I was going to renew it but since Thailand changed the rules on visa waivers I decided to use these as long as possible. I did two visa waiver runs to Laos and flew to Germany once and again got a visa waiver. As the extension expired on the 15th I flew to Malaysia for 2 days. But after arrival in Chiang Mai a young lady from immigration called her boss over. As I'd stayed in Thailand 1 year and 7 months they said I'm not a tourist so he's refusing the visa waiver. Bizarrely he said I should fly back to Malaysia and apply for a tourist visa. I refused to sign the expulsion order but of course it made no difference. What is my best option here, apply for a tourist visa, go back in and then apply for the DTV? Can an EU national apply for a tourist visa in Malaysia? And if I get it could Chiang Mai immigration then not make the same argument that due to living there 19 months I'm not real tourist and deny entry despite a valid tourist visa?

I thought menstruation starts at age 10 to 15? Is it 9 now?

Why 9 years old though? It's way to young on anyone's calendar, surely? How did they come up with this age?

Errr, didn't Germany recently re-instate border controls?

Because you were in Manila. If you go to Davao, Cebu, where they speak Cebuano as their first language, and often don't speak Tagalog well, English is a third language. Whilst they speak it, it's hit and miss, and often pigeon style hard to understand.

What? I certainly haven't!!! Who in their right mind would date an older woman? And one with children? What the...???

It's obvious what happened. Taylor Swift is secretly in love with Donald Trump, she got all this hype going about voter registration, knowing full well that her supporters were too lazy vote, thus lulling the Democrats in a false sense of security. She knew what she was doing!

The moles are a real thing. Another issue is that many Filipinas have giant teeth, usually crooked, and rather large heads. However, overall they can be very attractive, particularly as they tend to have more curves.

A lot of Filipinas are gold diggers, but I have to say they are very clean. Even keep their poor houses very clean. Yah, English can be poor, but one thing Filipinas excell at is housekeeping .Better than Thais. Also in the bedroom Filipinas are a bit better from my very limited real life sample.

Because I was dumb and inexperienced then, and I had fairly large income as a funds lawyer. I was also trading forex on the side and travelling through south-east asia, Caribbean. I would fly her over from Philippines to the Cayman Islands. So it was a bit hard to hide that I had money. When she realised how much, her demands for allowance kept increasing. Of course I put a stop to it eventually, and that was part of the reason why it fell apart. So nobody can tell me Filipinas are not "transactional". I just have to laugh.

As for Filipinas speak English, it's very hit and miss. I actually broke up with my second Filipina because I couldn't understand what she was saying, and she had the same problem. For many Filipinas English is a third language. Some don't even speak Tagalog.

Absolutely correct, Filipina's have a tendency towards mental illness. My ex told me after I left her alone for 2 weeks she had dreams of demons possessing her. She was also WAY WAY WAYYYYY more transactional than any Thai girl I've ever met, demanding outrageous "allowance". If you wife up a Filipina you're in a for a world of pain, usually.

You don't have the full information. I did not cheat on my partner.
