    How do you know?

    I guess he married her because he loved her at some time.

    Drugs change people tremendously. And some people give up drugs and are normal again.

    I think in a situation with a young child it's a good idea to try to restore the situation, even if it is difficult.

    If he finds out the situation is impossible then he can still divorce her. 

    At the subjective level you are correct. At the objective level it's difficult to see how she could ever give love or be loved.

     

    Drugs not mentioned. It's not worth trying to fix people with serious drugs problems. If she's just acting out that's probably even worse bc of the lack of mental health assistance and understanding here.

     

    We as farang are at numerous disadvantages here. It's ok to toss in the towel. We didn't move here to be hated, shi+ on or made miserable.

     

    If she's erratic and up late, odd sleeping hours, let's everything go to ruin.. could be meth. Often meth users do not exhibit erratic behavior but certainly it's not weed or cocaine lol.

  2. It will be very telling if they cannot simply add it into the online purchase BUT as they have a criteria - those with work permits are exempt. 

     

    I know of no way that could be verified online prepurchase. Therefore, I believe it will either be

     

    1) all farangi (wp or not)

     

    OR

     

    2) a  staffed kiosk system pre immigration or prior to exiting duty free zone. They will take cards and all currencies.

    Why do tourist coming in via air have to pay 150 baht for marine transportation?

     

     

    This is an excellent question

     

    The rubbish they are fronting as an excuse (reason) is to promote tourism and vicariously to shore up ???? blah blah medical farang blah blah blah.

     

    There is absolutely no reason broke axx border jumpers should pay less except that this is just a funnel for corruption so in that respect they are easing the burden on the poors.

     

    Absurd

  4. ChatGPT went live in very late 2022. From there forward this work is on its way to obsolescence.

  5. Is anyone aware of a good place to have lenses made without purchasing frames?

     

    I'm going to go back to Rutin for a check.

     

    I'm also very curious if anyone might know if it is possible to remove my old lenses and replace them with new ones.

     

    The issue is that they are rimless and the lenses are held only by two tiny rivets each at the nose and temple. My concern is that the technician will destroy the frames in the process of replacing the lenses leaving both unusable.

     

    I don't mind buying frames and in fact if I could find frames like the one I have I would buy three. The only thing approaching what I'm looking for are silhouette brand frames. Everything else has not been acceptable for various reasons. Yes, I have looked on the Zenni site many times and I'm sure a few others that have been mentioned here. I admittedly very picky. 

     

    Does anyone have any idea how the silhouette frames value is in Thailand compared to somewhere overseas? I'm assuming that these frames or at least these types and quality of frames are probably 50% less outside Thailand.

     

    Thanks ????

    Thanks, she's based in the north of the city and the school would have to be in that area, so like Laksi/Don Muang/Ngamwongwan area/pakkret areas.

    Kaesetsart Lab, Horwang, St John's, Sattriwittaya 2 she might like (girls school, not nearly reputation as 1), Bodindecha. Best schools northwards of BKK.

     

    Not uncommon for students to travel considerable distances to attend better schools.

     

    Rangsit also has a few okay schools although none are top 20.

    why eat dead animals when you don't have to? just because 'it tastes nice' The suffering, pollution and environmental damage raising millions of animals for people to stuff down their throats is unsustainable

    Well, better than trying not eat live animals.

     

    Why? Because vegetarians are the most unhealthy people I know.

     

     

    Not a virtue signaler.

    Double and triple entry tourist visas were discontinued a number of years back, and replaced with the six month multiple entry tourist visa only available from your home country (or country of residence).

    Haha, yeah I think my last double TR was 2010.

     

    Well, that is both good and bad news for him. Mostly bad. It is no wonder why he'd take another route especially when it would probably take a week in some random country. Total idiocy. My guess his financials are top 1% of those visiting Thailand. They moan.
