sorry to disagree but there's no such thing as perfect marriage, all have ups and downs and mostly downs.... have been married 4 x to 4 different ladies from 4 different countries, all from different education and wealth backgrounds, it all started well but than down hill, most here are making jokes and claiming to have fantastic relationships, good for them but would be nice if they were honest and told it how it is or better yet, should ask their partners opinions, quite sure we would have some funny surprises
Agreed. Ive known a few over time who boast perfect marriages but in reality it is the complete opposite. Drunks and layabouts who are always out of work, owe money all around town with no chance or will to pay it back. And when they do manage to have money it is spent on booze, drugs or whores while the little woman is stuck at home in a miserable rut trying to make ends meet because she is now resolved to the fact that she is too old to find another husband or it is too difficult to leave especially when kids are involved. There is also the old cultural aspect where Thai women are taught from an early age to be subservient to males of the family and would rather live a life of misery than be seen to not strive to take care of their father, husband, and children.......and thus they take on most of the burden by often having second jobs or part time businesses etc to make ends meet.
Anyone can be the author of their own history but some refuse to admit they are writing fiction because in doing so they would be admitting to failure.

It doesn’t only apply to UK licenses I got mine with an Australian licence both car and motorbike as have several of of my Aus expat friends with none of the tests you refer to.
Although I have never checked I understand that it also applies to other countries as well.
Yes ditto for me too with an Aussie drivers license and also no tests but the officer did whisper to me that he usually told the Brits they were the only ones because they think they are special!

It makes it easier for getting driving licence ect that needs proof of residence, rather than going to imm every time for a proof of res letter.

That may depend on what driving centre (DLT?) you attend. Whenever I have made inquiries I have been told the yellow book is not acceptable. Seems a waste of time to me.

First and foremost, after uttering over 10,000 lies Trump has a credibility factor of less than zero. So, both Americans and our allies should be very skeptical of anything and everything he says.
Second, Bolton is behind this accusation, as he wants war more than anything. He is a warmonger, and even though he was badly burned in Iraq, and Afghanistan, he never learns.
Third, it is in the interest of the US to declare war. They are a nation of war, there is much money to be made from a war, and the defense industry lobbyists are probably visiting him frequently. He never, ever says no to a lobbyist. The corporations own this administration. Bought and paid for.
Fourth, what interest does Iran have in a war with the US? At this moment of heightened awareness and warlike rhetoric, would they be stupid enough to sabotage oil tankers? I really doubt it.
Fifth, the ones who gain the most from this, are either the Saudis or the Israelis. It is just American blood. Why would they care? Think about it, before accepting this man of dishonesty at his word.
Very good post but what on earth makes you think that facts, a well constructed argument, logic, as well as straight out common sense would make a difference to the US or its brainwashed supporters?

Iran attacking ships?? Show us the evidence. And dont mention that video please, it could be a mail boat delivering for all it shows. US must be getting extremely desperate for a fight if showing that video as proof....what a laugh!

I think you'll find the fault lies largely with State governments & their incompetent bureaucrats, not with the Federal government (whose powers in this area are quite limited).
The fault lies with the people for allowing it!! Governments should fear the people, not the other way around.

What they are saying is that they never caught anybody copulating in front of them with money in their hands........therefore no evidence of course, case closed.

Well, Trump (once again)shows his complete lack of understanding of diplomacy, decorum or common good manners.
Trump shows his total lack of intelligence and diplomacy (haha) by resorting to personal attacks and name calling.

I believe nowadays they are too well fed. Back in the day they were on you like flies. Take a girl out and others would be begging to come too. Nowadays I dont think they have that same drive to take care of their family. I also think with high lady drink prices today they seem to me to prefer to stay in the bar and squeeze drinks from customers. Many have farang bf who send them money as well. I still like to cruise bars from time to time....nostalgia I guess?? but thats the feedback I get.
And yes, I am not the young hansum man I was so that may muddy the data a touch.

why don't they pay the cops more? at the same time improve their training.
It was explained to me some years back that if they were paid a decent wage they would just go home or to their favourite bar everyday. By giving them a low wage it forces them out onto the streets and even if they are only taking back handers they are still upholding the law. Thats the theory anyway.

All of the above plus dont get caught up in the "show" game.
I have been married now for 15 very happy years. I'm mid 60's and wife is 20 years younger.
I never saw much of it in Bangkok where we were for 10 years but the "show" game is rife in Isaan. Back home you would know it better as "keeping up with the Jones". The "show" game is very similar except over here you have to beat the Jones. For example the wife will tell you you need a new pickup, not secondhand but new. You dont need a pick-up but you MUST buy one, particularly a Ford Ranger nowadays because they look bigger and fancier......doesnt matter if they are problematic, the important thing is that it looks good. There are many up here that buy pickups and park them in the driveway only for show. Cant afford the diesel, nor have much of a use for one but you can show you have more than your neighbours. Although most up here get repossessed the important thing is you could show it for a while. Another important show piece is gold and you must show it all the time.
Now dont blame all this on your wife. Believe it or not she is under tremendous pressure from her family and peers who will constantly be on her back because she has a farang husband and everybody knows all farang have a money tree that produces 1,000 baht notes quicker than you can pick them. She will be constantly hit with "why you only have small car?" and "why you not have big gold around your neck?" I have two friends up here who have found themselves in serious debt because while they have been giving money to their wives to make car/tractor payments the wives have been paying off gold with it that the hubby hasnt even seen.....she only puts it on when going alone to the markets etc to show her friends! And worse still the hubby later finds out the money is not actually going to the gold, its not even covering the interest she is paying to the loan sharks who lent her the money to buy the gold and they are ready to kick the door down any minute. I kid you not.
Fifteen years and I am finally starting to get through to my wife that she has to ignore it because out of jealousy her peers will not stop and even if she had 20 new pick-ups she would then get "why havnt you got 21?" Another good example is when I had satelite tv installed. I asked the technician to put the dish on the back boundary wall and he was stunned. "But no-one can see it back there?!"
Another tip would be to wear condoms always or get yourself snipped. I have had several of my friends find their wife pregnant after she "forgot to take the pill but only one time" lol.
Good luck!

I wonder why they wont mention the offenders are Chinese, It has been all over the news lately. Is it because the numbers are down on Chinese tourists?

Oh yes of course..."Reefer Madness" is the problem. And this from the country where I was told not to eat chicken if I have a bad back.......and particularly not on a Tuesday!!
