when my wife died i was told i am the owner for 12 months ....i was told i have to sell it in 12 months after my wife's death,so a farang can own land and house for 12 months .so i gave it to her family and everyone was better off.

lost one in bangkok and 2 years later another in udon thani now i have a half use tread spare and no one wants its !!!

I asked the parking attendant near my hotel to please not use his whistle late at night he got very angry and told me it was his job.....Darwin theory....inaction.

I have driven all over Thailand and many places in Laos but when i ask at the Cambodian border they say no can do except at the border near cham Yeam/Klong yai....they said i can take my car as far as Sihanoukville,

i wanted to go all over the country is this possable ?

I know my thai insurance will stop when over the cambodian border.and i will have to hand out tea money to police.

Very popular at some burger joints in the US. This one from Fatburger, which is very good.

I guess it helps that they appear to have used partially digested ingredients - real fast food

the only bad part about this burger is the bread bun.....all the rest is good for you.

eat real food like your grand parents did.....meat ,eggs,cheese veg just skip the bread it's poison.

no one pointing at him.......

yes its easy to get fooled by these lovely thai ladies.....i have done the same as you......

i was travelling thru customs in farang land with my 24 year old wife, when stopped by custom.

can i look inside your bag please ?.....yes go ahead.....AHH what are these ?........they are packets of viagra !

the he asks me what do i need them for.........i just turned and looked at my young beautiful thai wife and could not think of a good answer other than errrrrm.

any more news on exporting a car from thailand to australia ?

It's currently taking two to three weeks to obtain a UK Visa, dtails are here, http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/countries/thailand/?langname=UK%20English plently of posts on the subject, have a read and come back with any specific questions.

The Schengen Area is a different ball game, you should apply at the Consulate for your main destination of if there is no main destination, the Consulate for where you enter the Schengen Area, they do seem to be getting a bit tighter on the interpretation of this rule, well some are.

Thanks for the link....it looks like a 3 week wait....but i did get a lot of info fron that site like where to lodge the forms and price etc...thanks again

now i will look into the schengen visa via the swedish emabssy.

I am Australian and i want to take my thai lady to UK for a holiday for 2 weeks ,then over to europe for 3 weeks,i want to know how long it takes to get a UK visitors visa.

then i have to get a visa for europe....thats another story.

I just realized Kris i sent you a private IM after i see a post from you on another post.

maybe i should just bite the bullet and do the partner visa,but some one said more than one year to get it done here in thailand.

i think she can still get a tourist visa while we are waiting for partner visa.

Thanks Kris and Dave,

i have been living here in Thailand for 7 years and some times i think the people who work at the visa office do not read the info and letters i send with my ladies application.they think i live in australia and my lady is coming to visit me...how ever i do tell them in my attached letter that we have been living together for over 2 years.

Last time we asked for a one year visa and he sent us 3 months when i called and aked him why he said because its your first visa ...it was her 3rd visa and i told him so he said i have not know her long enough....its like they are not reading the letters we send them.Ive know her 4 yaers and lived with her after the village marriage for the last 2 years.

i asked if he could change it to a one year visa he said no....i must come back after 3 months and apply again and he said she will get another visa.....the reason i want such a lon visa is because i wanted to buy a 4wd and caravan and do a big trip around aust .would cost me $55.000 for a 4wd and then another $45.000 for a caravan too much for a short holiday.would loose too much when resale.

after she only got 3 months we just rented a camper van from Apollo and did the 3 month trip...not long enough .but a great trip,after living here Thailand for so long i forgot what a great country aust is .i still would like to do the 4wd and caravn trip but not sure what to ask for next.dont want to mess it up.

I think 5 days is more than enough......you will not be friends if she stays any longer than that.

I have been with my thailady for 2 years and we had a trip back to Australia march 2012 on a 3 month tourist visa ,it had the 8503 attached so no extension allowed.

Then we went again in march 2013 for 3 months on a tourist visa,again 8503 attached so not allowed to extend.

Today i called the visa office and was told they put the 8503 on the tourist visa when they are not sure of your relationship,I would like to go again so i asked if they will put the 8503 on again and he said if we supply enough info about our relationship so they know it is a real one ! then they will not put 8503 on the next tourist visa ,so we will be able to extend the visa in Australia if we want to.

Does anyone know what they might want to show a relationship is real ?

last time i sent with the application lots of photos and a covering letter.....obviously not enough so do you think they want statements from family and friends or ???

any ideas .

This sort of stuff would be condescending in a 1930s colonial official or just naive in some hayseed from Europe. At least learn to spell 'piggy' in future.

thank you for liking the movie....

An ash tray would be handy !

lack of iodine in their salt !!!

he should use that money to build a few clinics for the poor people.....thailand has enough big statues.

another angle.....

they are back there in pattaya royal project shop....25 baht small and 50 baht large one ...

i lived on the 32 nd floor in bangkok and lots of mozzies up there ...even had bees come to some plants on my balcony.

only two reasons why someone has a big gut.

1/ being a pig with food

2/little or no excersise

wrong......sugar is to blame too much sugar in our diets and it turns to fat.....better to get your body to use fat for fuel ( ketosis ) and dont eat sugars or carbs.too much rice ,bread ,pasta (carbs ) will make you fat.
