  1. What does the child's requirements have to do with the OP's 'retirement' status or decision to live in Thailand? Didn't any of you posters grow up in a broken home? One in which there wasn't enough to go around? I sure hope the OP has been 'snipped'! Maybe the embassy ought to do THAT for him as well, given he doesn't appear to be able to think things through for himself!

  2. So pleased to find a thread of positives about the airport. In 20 years I've never had a hard time ... even the occasional negligent (on my part) overstay always got dealt with politely, with a joke and a smile, and never a cross word. I certainly cannot say the same of those wanke_rs at HKG immigration! I do miss the days of my weekly BKK>HKG or BKK>SGN commutes out of Don Muang though. The parking attendants used to save me a spot near the lifts and have my Pajero nicely polished upon the return. One could enjoy a fat spliff in the car, hit the Cathay lounge for a Kloster, and/or a whiskey, and/or or a champers, depending on the time of day, eat splendidly, sleep right up to the gate at Kai Tak, and easily be on the beach at Shek O in 40 minutes. And on the return there was that lovely local awaiting at the car just downstairs... Sure made for a relaxing weekend and brilliant start to the working week. Both cities how sport fancy new eye-candy airports much further from town. Both are far less personal places. But both work flawlessly! Anyone ever heard such a kind word from regular patrons of JFK or LAX?

  3. Bingo! Khun Abhisit pegged it. Big 'Jim' took it upon himself to 'drop in' on HS. He was not sent there in any official capacity. And if anyone can be expected to remember that blood is thicker that water in Thai-Khmer relations its the Khmer. In all seriousness, though, what a fitting way to finally ground the square head. SL & his ilk must be pissing themselves with mirth. Economic advisor indeed... Life's rich pagent...
