Jessi

By all means BahtSmart you can send me a PM, Im not a ghost or a fool.

Please answer my question.

I have made 4 transactions with your company.

March 23rd

April 28th

May 26th

June 18th.

Thanks members, It seems that the motorist are happy with the MAXXIS tyres.

I have for the past 20 years plus have put Bridgestone tyres on my cars but Im not happy with

this lot, they have done 30,000k and they have become very noisy on the road.

I dont drive long distance at high speed its mainly used for around town now.

There is a good saving on the MAXXIS compared to the price of Bridgestone.

Another question?

Which are the quiet tyres in your opinion?

I need to fit a new set of tyres to my Corolla. I have Bridgestone on now and Im thinking of changing to MAXXIS tyres.

Any members on TV ever use them and what are your thoughts about them?

Many thanks.

Thank you for all of your help Sheryl.

You have helped thousands of members with your medical knowledge.

The SPIN factory is back at work.

Yes and we haven't heard from her for at least a day.

Is she afraid she'll be forgotten about ? Not likely as after the PM she's the best stand up the junta's got.

I think it must be that time of the month again

The SPIN factory is back at work.

i read the posts about bad or good and that is the humourous part of the day for me is it taken seriously by most on here i think not.

I think far too many taking it serious...have a look at the news section...

I think you are spending far too much time in the kitchen.

Go out smell the roses ............There is life after thaivisa.

There's still some good Thai people around, even in a grasping place like Pattaya. In the last two weeks alone I've had three separate cases where I asked Thai people to do something for me and once they'd done it they refused to take any payment.

Yes Good & Bad in every country.

Thankfully most of us have choices.

Some prefer the bar scene & casual, pay as you go sex.

Others prefer the domestic life

I have experienced both. Depending upon your situation in life, you make a choice.

There is no good v bad - right v wrong.

BUT, no $$$ no choices!

Some prefer the bar scene & casual, pay as you go sex.

When I was a young lad we called this "Cash & Carry or take away"

Greed is the main thing that is destroying Thailand.

In my 24 years around Thailand I have seen a big difference in the Thai people

Sad but true.

Nuddy

My understanding is that the rate is taken from when they receive the money to their (bahtsmart) account, not when you transfer.

I wouldnt expect it to be when I transferred the money, only when they received it. It is the same for Moneygram, if the rate changes while you are doing your transaction then you get the adjusted rate.

As for timing, I made my first a transaction at 11pm on the 7th and the money was in the Bahtsmart account at lunch time on the 9th. My beneficiary received the money at 8pm Aus time.

Hope this helps.

NOT TRUE !!

BahtSmart will give you the lowest rate during the period from the start anywhere along the duration of the transaction.

This is what has happened to me not once but three times.

Mr BahtSmart was on line yesterday but no answer or comment from him or his company.

In my native country, a lady 5 years my junior would be a reasonable expectation. I am 67yo

Previously, I posted that age was not a big factor.

We would talk about TV soapies, line-dancing, bingo, grandchildren, knitting. She would have the dressing gown on, rollers in her hair.

Now I am really excited!

I just got a mental picture of that in my mind.......

They had that new home scheme for government employees and the new car scheme and some teachers did both. I have a teacher friend in Isaan who was doing fine living in a small house on her parents property and having a scooter. Now she's buried in the payment for a new house and car and even some furnishings. She's just a friend and has never asked for help although I did catch all of her payments up for her several months ago. She was buying furniture for the inside and landscaping for the outside and curtains etc. instead of making payments.

Welcome to the Western credit mentality.

Cheers

Spot on!

I think there are a lot of Thai's in this situation not just teachers.

Running around in their new cars and flashing the Visa/ Mastercard

to show everyone that they have made it.

Now they have a chance to loose it all after they have lost their employment.

Its has started already.

My wife is 41 & Im almost 70.

We have a very happy relationship, we do things together and we talk things out its called Communication

Most relationships break down because of the lack of communication.

When we first me she could not speak English & my Thai is a bit iffy. I took her out for lunch

on our first date & I took my notebook and we used google translate.

Today she has picked up a bit of English at times I think I am the only one

that can understand her.

She tells her 13 Y.O. daughter to never marry a Thai man & to look for a falang.

Every 2nd day a Thai woman will ask Mrs Jessi where can they find a falang husband

or B/F, I just tell her not to get involved as there are good & bad Falangs the same as Thai men.

The women she went to Uni with are finding out on the grape vine that she has married a Falang

and are all calling her to check if its the truth as they are in a state of shock when they hear about it

and all want to meet this hansom Falang.

We hear a lot about the bad/sour relationships in Thailand and its always the bad ones that stick in our minds

We dont hear enough about the good/happy relationships and I think that is sad.

Now to answer the Op's question.

There are many reasons far too many to list here.

Why do young Issan ladies marry old farangs? LOVE

I have met both Colin & his wife and I can confirm she is "One in a million"

I'm surprised the moderators hadn't shut this down at the beginning.People must have a lot of time on their hands to read and answer.

What brought you here.

Looks the same as a few years back when grand schemes were talked about to remedy this Korat problem

Yes, but corruption seems to get in the way

Sorry to see you leave Mr WW. I have always enjoyed your posts.

I agree with you about the Khmer people.

The things that annoyed me most about Cambodia

were the moto & Tuk Tuk drivers and how they hassle everyone

My next pet hate would be how they all park on the footpath.

Get to the temple & pray you evil woman

Shame

Shame

Shame

I would like to give an Honest reply to your post, but i think the mods would not allow it, It seems Thais have no respect for each other, so why would they respect a Foreigner. That's why in My opinion Thailands is on the wane it's had its day. Nearly everyone has a smart phone,, it will not be long before things like this are posted on Youtube. for the world to see.

Social media is catching up with them, its gone world wide with all the scams and crime against foreigners.

May I missed something but a couldn't read any crime/scam in the OP...

They probably just planned a day at the beach and those things are a minimum supply for a Thai family...

Back to the kitchen for you

Gonna hit the m4t personals OP?

Why not? He may find you on there.

Where are the pictures? This story means nothing without pictures.

Thanks for the pics.

The areas affected were The Mall, Save one market, inside the city, and also the roads going into Mararat hospital.

No doubt more to come over the next few months.

Last night we had a lot of rain & the mall in Korat has been flooded, I have just seen the pictures

and not sure if it will open or not today.

Anyone else hear about this.
