What do you mean with a beautiful woman?

And did Thaivisa ask any acceptance before publishing very clear picture of our daughter in Pattaya (working as a nurse).

I am from Finland and got SETV in Helsinki and arrived in Thailand Nov 15. I am staying in Nong Khai countryside with wife in her house. We are both retired and are staying in Thailand 180 days every year. Two winters before this year I used a NON-OA-visa still shown in my current passport. 

Last week Feb 11 I traveled to Vientiane and got easily another SETV there. Neither any financials like cash or bank statement nor flight ticket were asked anywhere. Copies of stamps leaving Thailand and arriving Laos were required.

So maybe it is better for you to travel to Vientiane instead of Savannekhet.
 

Thais and Chineses are like close relatives and ethnic Chineses have always controlled Bangkok's business.

1. Thais of Chinese origin is accounting for 14 percent of the Thai population as of 2012.

2. In the late 1950s, ethnic Chinese comprised 70 percent of Bangkok's business owners and senior business managers and 90 percent of the shares in Thai corporations are said to be held by Thais of Chinese extraction

Several months ago I spoke to an English Teacher in CNX.  She was Filipina(never lived in an English Speaking Country) and said most of her students(elementary school) just repeat the English words she says.  As soon the students leave her class they pretty much forget everything.  

English is an official language of the Philippines and the higher education language.  

Top five countries have very similar language to English (grammar and vocabulary). 

Singapore and Finland are the real winners because they are speaking Asiatic languages.

It is net after deductions.

It is difficult to find the question to half-your-age-plus-seven question in Internet.

Finally I found https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-origin-of-half-your-age-plus-seven-dating-rule referring to Elijah Muhammad of the Nation of Islam.

Anyway I heard already 40 years ago it is an old Arabic proverb.

Thai television goes to Finland (19/09/2014)

So happy to read this story because I have been married more than 24 years to wonderful lady from Viang Khuk which is 12 kilometers miles east from Tha Bo following the Mekong River.

People in that area are so nice and I like to ride a bicycle to Tha Bo and back because there is LotusTesco too.

Good luck!

And why the English of people in the Philippines are better in general compared to the English of thais despite the fact that their education system along many other things are of lower standard? Or maybe i just spend too much time with prostitutes whose English tends to be better.

From 1898 to 1946 Philippines was almost like U.S. state similar to Hawaii and still today English is an official language of the Philippines.

If you go to Hamburger restaurant like Jollibee menu is written only in Enlgish.

Maybe because of only 50% of inhabitants speak Tagalog as their native language.

My wife doesn't speak English at all.

My English is poor.

I already knew the basics of thai language when I met her.

And she has learnt my difficult native language slowly.

Hence we are still speaking thai at home.

We have been married 24 years already.

After two years from now we both will have pension and it will be nice for me to

stay in Nong Khai while knowing some thai and isaan language.

Our adult daughter speaks perfect thai and isaan.

Her thai writing is good but not perfect.
