  1. Thais are so gullible they will gamble theirs and others money away just on the strength of lucky numbers. If all numbers are lucky why does the biggest proportion of lottery not go to the ticket buyers, instead the majority of the lottery money goes to the lottery organisers.
  2. Not sure why Thais are so loud, maybe it is the poor education and they think things will get done quicker if they shout. It annoys me when wifey shouts at our six year old daughter.
  3. Double decker sorry about the quality it was raining. Must have been more than 30 workers.
  4. That will never happen, trying to get people to think?
  5. Not allowed to challenge authority. Kept like mushrooms, always in the dark.
  6. Knowledge is power, that's why the leaders do not want a highly educated population.
  7. Do what I did. Move far away from the village, in my case four hours away. Get married in Hong Kong (only £100). Do not invite any family and do not pay any dowry. It worked for me and if your wife wants to support the family let her work and get her own income to send money to the village. Whatever you give the family it will never be enough and if money does go to the family (your money) then have strict limits. A lump some dowry is not the way to go as this will be gone in no time. From my own experience I did pay a dowry in my first relationship after that was gone so was my Thai wife.
  8. Something long and thick, she wants one of those big salami sausages 1000 baht from Makro.
  9. I would not recommend the driving school my wife used as they told her to accelerate when approaching the traffic lights on green.
  10. Pleased they accept responsibility for this incident without doing the normal Thai thing and trying to blame someone else. Now I just want them to admitt they are doing the wrong thing and keeping my flight money for four years and two months instead of quoting bankruptcy for the delay in returning my hard earned cash.
  11. Sorry for jumping onto your posting but if converting to the 800000 baht and doing away with the 65000 per month I would still have to bring in more than 65000 baht. So my question is to reduce any possible tax which may be levied, would it be a good idea to split the monthly input in two, sending 50% in my name and 50% in my wife's name? Personally I don't think they will tax income that has already been taxed but there may be a difference between the tax paid in my home country and the tax levied in Thailand.
  12. Never seen them going slow, I thought the bus drivers were a protected species.
