  1. More negative ... Not really and not me for sure smile.png
    I just love the way this country is. I can throw trash along the country side, pee along the street with cars going by, drive my motor bike the wrong way on a street, run red lights, jump lines with my car, basically break all rules and still people say Never mind ( Mi Pen Ri). And if I were only a Thai person I could even have so much more freedom to do unto others anything I want and they would still say Never Mind. Unless you do something that directly affects them and makes them loose face they will basically look the other way. Mi Penri ( Thai language removed)
    If only all countries were the same .... 555
    Now Wasn't that positive ?

  2. My gf said that she thought there was a ghost hanging around my condo. I said impossible as my condo is a ghost free zone. Now if I hear a noise she will quickly tell me not to worry and it can't be a ghost because of the ghost free zone.... I think she really believes :) hahaha.... Don't you just love Thailand

  3. Haven't seen a reply from the OP since the first one, did I miss something ?

    If the OP is still reading.... Stay away and give it a few days to cool down. Just send her a message with a cell number of how to contact you , dont tell her where you stay! Let her contact you when she is ready. If you don't hear from her after a week I would send her another message saying you and the boy are fine and wait for her response. Depending on that.... If the situation did not defuse I would jump on the plan with your Child and go home to UK. Start a new life and forget about her, time will heal all. Just her actions show her true colors and a woman like that is not fit to have a child.

    Enjoy being a single father ... You have a new direction in your life... You can do it if you want !!! Good luck.

  4. Rewrting the last 50 years would take more than a few lines !

    and remember hindsight is perfect vision, the trials and tribulations that life's path takes us through also forms the person/character we have become.

    Whilst there are many things I would like to "do over" or paths that in hindsight I shouldnt have taken, I did take them, and they ultimately brought me to where I am now, and I consider myself fortunate to have reached this point in my life and have achieved what I now have and the lifestyle I have.

    No complaints in the end result. Often its not the destination, but the journey you took to get there.

    charlieH.... Many times I don't agree with you but this time you are right on the money, well said !
  5. You are making some progress but you know this is not over. The father in law is not going to just give in as for some reason, I think money or face related, he wants you out of there. My advise....Lock up the house and get away for the weekend and let things cool down and observe the situation from a distance. Take a break from the fighting and spend a little family time and try to show the wife that life with you is enjoyable. Briefly discuss with her about a future away from her family and see how it goes.

    When you return home avoid all contact with family for as long as possible and be careful. These things can get out of control very quickly and can even turn deadly. Keep a cool head and if necessary leave before getting into any violence with family.

  6. One thing the PM needs to be is consistent. He can not start a clean up and then stop in the middle or just do for one area. He needs to carry out the actions throughout the country and then not let it return to business as usual. We see this with police crack downs and a few days later everything back to business as usual.

    Pick 10 (out of hundreds) major areas of corruption and clean them up and put the main players in jail, red and yellow.

    He needs to hold onto power for awhile or everything will be back to business as usual in no time.

  7. Thailand was totally out of control with corruption being the normal way to conduct business. I think I understand the PM, he has to remain in power until minds start to change and corruption is at least looked at as something not acceptable. He needs however to control his anger and lead with actions not just words. If he can pull this off in another year and be voted back into office legally and follow the laws of the land he will be remembered for a long time...

  8. One last piece of advise, do not fall in love with a bar girl. They are for everyone's entertainment and their main job is to drain your account. Find none bar girls if possible ... Pattaya can be difficult in finding but other cities have.

  9. 30 or 40k for apt and basic food will do but the night life and girls will drain you dry quickly. Try to take a break a few days a week and relax. You can save up your energy and money for a few good nights out on the town.

    Be careful riding motorbikes as they can land you in the hospital with huge bills. Jet-skis and other ripe offs are also to be avoided .

    Have fun !

  10. I have had a few ladyboys come up to me when just walking down the sidewalk in Bangkok and Pattaya and try to play that hug hug game.... Normal people don't do this only the ladyboys. Yes, I said normal. There is something just not right about these people that change sexes. Maybe they are not all bad but after my time here in Thailand I don't trust any of them. Between the street walkers and stupid TV shows it makes them all look bad.

  11. OP...Sorry to hear about your problems, heartbreaking I am sure.

    It is sad that so many Thai ladies, some farang ladies too to be fair, look at money as the most important thing in the world. Too late for you now but that is a good lesson we farang men living in Thailand should learn and learn well. Avoid ladies as partners who's main interest is money. Love needs to be the main reason for marriage not just financial security. I have seen this exact same situation too many times here and have even experienced it myself.

    If this money thinking is new you may want to look at any recent friends you or her have brought into your life. They may just be part of the problem. Thai ladies brag and farangs like to show off their houses, cars etc... She may be wanting more because of this ....

    I hope you can instill in her that family is the most important thing and is of value and money comes and goes.

    Good luck !
