What for? To sell condoms?

Met my present wife 15 years ago when I was 56, had sex 2 or 3 times a day then, with Cialis though. Anyhow it was just great. Now of course we are more conservative and enjoy it about twice a week. Just to show how important sex can be, I had a prostate cancer diagnosis 5 years ago and have chosen to postpone any radical treatment, which would have killed the bliss. Living years as man are well worth twenty as an eunuch.

Just don't go to Phuket, nor Pattaya. if you come here for Pu$$y, fly in for 5 days and stay between Nana and Thong Lor. And go back happy after you have experienced 95% of the beauty of the Land of smiles.

And how fast is fast in LOS. In the early eighties the French TGV cut the Paris to Lyon travel time to 1h 50. So Korat should be within one Hour from Bangkok, no?

U mean him?

Yeah, everyone has read Gullible's Travels

To MTGA maybe?

They beat about the Bush(es).

She is (BP 12:36).

There might be a "hub of bestiality" somewhere down the line though.

Naah, my friend said he tried to bargain ST.

Evasion sir. And anyone uncooperative might get caught in a 10 years audit, with nasty consequences.

Won't happen, when it comes to foreigners they all agree. Thais are inherently xenophobic. That includes Pita, his interview on Blick in March gave me shivers.

There are major differences though: the Marriage extension takes one month and two visits, needs to run to amphur for Kor ror 2, more copies of everything. The photos in the bedroom can also be seen as intrusive by more some. So all in all definitely more hassle. But I was glad I went down that route as I extended a non OA and marriage spared me the HI burden during the years leading to the LTR.

Preposterous....

Disagree, these new visas can be be real life improvement. I dumped by marriage extension in October 2022 for an LTR and Yahweh I'm Glad.. So far.

Hang, draw and quarter.

What "radical promises"? IMHO they were all very reasonable, possibly even too conservative to be modern in a western sense.

Great, welcome to Aseannow.

What you say here applies only to Norwegians in your income bracket. If I settled in France, one of me "home countries" I'd pay half the tax I could have to pay in Thailand; in France they tax the family unit (wife and 2 kids so divide by by (1+1+.5+.5), while in Thailand they tax the individual (please don't mention this ridiculous 60k spouse allowance). The system here is totally twisted as only a minority of poor middle class idiots get hammered. The submissive bludgers pay zilch and most of those with sizeable income from businesses pay zilch because they have friends. That leaves only the medium/upper salaries to prey upon. And I don't believe you pay only 6% IT in Thailand on 140000 Baht a month your IT will be above 200000 a year. Uo to 245000. I based my assertion on this calculator.

You bet wrong. I was well informed of the "seasoning" rule six months before I moved here and did all my tax planning accordingly. I got 10 years legally tax free out of it, and have an LTR visa now. I am pretty sure that I am not an isolated case, far from it.

Nope, you are right, it is preferable to have your own car. There is a songthaew service, that goes as far as Bang bao (West) and Salak Pethe (East), but that's for the young and fit. Driving is no issue, but I used to live in the Alps and was a keen skier.

So, you don't believe that an EV basher could mistakenly thrash an ICE? When is the last time you got the hint of a joke? My 9 year old would have gotten that.

You've just ridiculed yourself....

Could add Muang Tam, Phanom Rung, Si Satchanalai and a few others. But, to be honest, I often wonder why so many tourists come to Thailand, where there isn't much of genuine interest to be seen. While in Europe or even Latin America every village, every corner, is an attraction, often surrounded by amazing scenery. Can't believe it is the seedy reputation of the country that can draw so many.
