  1. I don't think there is proper formal training for anything here. A highly educated and well trained population is something that is not encouraged, for reasons that are obvious. If the Forward Party get into power maybe they will change things and try to catch up with other countries in the region.
  2. Great, they have money for all those new planes but after nearly four years I still have not received my refund. Obviously customer satisfaction is a very low priority.
  3. Do you mind me asking if you only paid £2300 capital gains, how much your property increased in value in those 16 years. In my case I have had my rental property for 25 years and in that time it has increased in value more than 400%.
  4. If you go that way, do not in anyway have a Thai lady involved.
  5. I did make coffee once with gravy granules, at least it was drinkable.
  6. That reminds me of when I lived in Greece and my wife boiled a kettle full of Raki. It was given to us in a water bottle from one of the locals.
  7. Asking for a friend whose pension is not frozen. Would the DWP become suspicious if it was witnessed in Thailand.
  8. Many times I have refused to eat with my Thai wife's family out of a big bowl in the middle of the floor. Never saw anyone wash their hand before delving into the bowl. What are knives and forks?
  9. Not just losing out with height. Mathematics was drilled into children when I was at school and now in Thailand teenagers have no idea about adding, minus, multiplication and division. Times tables are forever in my old brain. Will have to give our six year old daughter extra tuition at least with maths, yesterday she learnt from me the difference between 2 + 5 and 2 × 5, to her both equations came to 7.
  10. Biggest mistake of his life.
  11. Difficult to ask when you have sexy eyelashes flickering at you.
  12. She lost control of the car, not the car lost control .
  13. Had my hernia operation done at Si Samrong public hospital (Sukhothai province) 16 months ago. In hospital for five nights due to getting my blood pressure down for the operation. The bill was a grand total of 18900 baht. I could not fault the care ( but I have been used to care in a Greek hospital) and I would not have a problem going there again. Not sure if the operation is comparable with what you need but my hernia was very close to the belly button. I have been told that at a private hospital it would have been closer to 100,000 baht.
  14. I understand that if you move to another residence for a day or two that the Immigration have to be informed. What is the procedure if you move permanently to another residence. At the moment I am living with my Thai wife in a house that we built but of course it is in my wife's name. So my wife has to be involved when I renew my extention of stay. Now we are moving to a house that is rented in my wife's name. So we now have a landlord. I guess a trip to the new Immigration is needed but do we need to get documents from the landlord or can my wife accompany me with the lease document? Also do we need to inform our present Immigration office or our planned move. Thanks in advance for your helpfull replies.
  15. I don't think muslim women get any consideration.
  16. Depends when she is sentenced, can wait until after baby is born.
  17. Have driven past the new anti corruption agency in Sukhothai it looks very quite in there. Job for the boys.
  18. Move out of the village and to a more civilised way of life closer to the city. I did this three months ago away from all the stupidity in the village.
