  1. As Robin Williams said; "God gave man a penis and a brain but only enogh blood to run one at a time."
  2. Saw a couple of younger decent looking guys the other day in a food court moving around table to table eating people's leftover food. Just giving you another option because you're going to need options like this with only having one million baht for14 years! 555
  3. No, FIRST report has to be in person, after that online works. at least in my cases that was the way it worked.
  4. Maybe you've got a degree in something but no street smarts! Spend a little time in Thailand before you jump in with both feet. The water can be deep and perilous in the Land of Smiles.
  5. As Robin Williams once said, "God gave man a penis and a brain but only enough blood to run one at a time." So true!
  6. To get a better life.....simple really!
  7. Agree totally! Been here 30+ years and you'd think I'd be used to Thai drivers.......but I'm not! You have to drive defensively 95% of the time and keep your head on a swivel looking out for anything that might be headed your way, epecially the uninsured motorcycle riders! I could go on and on, but I won't, anybody who's driven here any amount of time knows what I'm talking about.
  8. Male 65 years old--120,000 baht a year, my wife 61 years old--84,000 baht a year, depending on exchange rate approx $3500 USD/$2470USD respectively
  9. Good to see something like this as govt spending/waste is the main reason the US is 36 trillion in debt. It can't keep going the way it is, eventually the US won't be able to service it's debt. I wish them luck because as thaibeachlovers said, it's a herculean task!
  10. I live full time in Thailand, it won't affect me at all.....sabai sabai
  11. Nooooo, not in Pattaya, and with a fake ID(?!), that's hard to believe! 55555
  12. Improvise, adapt, and overcome, the Thai way!
  13. No red flags went off in her mind after talking with him about legal advice then all of a sudden he asked her if she had a boyfriend............hmmmm. Then wanting some piano lessons, c' mon Jan!
  14. Uhhhhhh, been married 30+ years to the same Thai woman, couldn't be happier, so maybe this Filipina shouldn't make generalizations. Has she ever been to Thailand or just spouting off "what she's heard?" There is "marriage material" in all nationalities, and vice versa. It's like a minefield, better to tread carefully until you know where it's safe to walk.
  15. A Brit that ran a boiler room operation in Pattaya--among other things, that was murdered supposedly by a friend. Don't know if I'm allowed to post the link but it is from Aseannow so here it is:
  16. You'd think they would keep their visas up to date so as not to arouse suspicion.....but then again, most criminals aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer hence why they end up in prison.....or dead. I guess they never heard of Tony Kenway.
  17. Drunken parties like most other celebrations in Thailand.
  18. Typical rich Thai, more worried about reputation--losing face, than the actual charge of theft! TIT
  19. Canadian truck drivers learned about a cashless society in 2022, bank accounts frozen because they were protesting. Cash is king!
  20. The thing is also, how many people, even if they want to go to the business blocking the parking, are going to stop, get out and ask the business owner to move the cones/chairs so they park and go inside their shop.....probably not many. So the business owner is losing out to everyone that wants to shop at their place of business. Personally if I see a business doing this I make a point not to shop there, it's city property not the business owners.
  21. A 100k fine for any business doing this would probably stop it.....but we know that's not going to happen so back to business as usual tomorrow. TIT
  22. 55555, anything about foreigners owning Thai land--even with a 99 year lease, never going to happen. Or maybe it'll go on the books as law but it will be so difficult to navigate all the hurdles it won't be worth it. Kind of like the law that foreigners can own one rai of land for a personal dwelling, been hearing that off and on for 30+ years.
  23. If found guilty, into a wood chipper while still alive. Some crimes are unforgivable.
  24. Developer probably didn't distribute enough brown envelopes. TIT
