Perhaps we could do with more people like her down here. The local farang population have treated and rescued a couple of mangy soi dogs, but there are so many of the poor creatures. So I'm afraid it's the dog van taking them to Laos and Vietnam to end up on the table. It's supposed to be illegal, but the authorities turn a blind eye, If they didn't the place would be overrun with rabid, mangy curs a definate health hazard. Cruel I know, but perhaps better in the long run for the dogs and the humans that don't look after them!

That's why they eay dogs in nam and some parts of asia

Here we go again. The problem with you ( OP ) and your wifes application is EVIDENCE. That's what it's all about sadly. Do what the letter is told you to do. Do not apply again, until you have enough evidence. It's doesn't matter what, anything between your wife and you that is documented can be used. Further more, if you have other family ( OP ) in the U.K that can help financially, also add that paperwork. The more the better. You have to make the application some kind of bookwork. But make sure you have worked out everything.

Report the number of this letter that is given to you, in your next applyment. If you need personal help, can always p.m me.

I can sit all day at those embassies, and you can clearly see which people have dealed with the embassy before. Some come with a whole package, some with a few loose papers, hold together with a paperclip, that's mostly a failure.

I'm rather well know in the supermarkets and other shopping centre, when I'm entering they give me a big smile already 20 meters before I enter the shop, also for the security guards at my condo, simply because I'm one of the great exceptions who say sawasdee and kob khun krab with them.

And that's how it should be. I mean that man stands their maybe day in day out, for a few louzy bucks. And he also has a heart and feelings, either if he hasn't got any money.

Is there a better chance if I'd go around in BKK, instead of mailing and calling? I've got about the basic same reactions from almost every foreigner, nor foreigner company, and understand those facts, that's it's very very very difficult to get a decent job out there in LOS, if NOT high educated.

I found IBO in Bangkok, great kebab, and not chicken meat.

Just look at the legs man... I can pick out every ladyboy.

Don't be so sure...

Especially when you're wearing those beer goggles!

Why is it, that almost none of the agencies give's an reply back? ( Even if it was for the recievement )

She is not a BG, but works in the tourism industry (and I know that for a fact since she has a licence. I cannot know if she was a BG before. She has never told me! Joking! Let's be honest! No man alive can know for sure what was the dark-side of a woman IF she does not want you to know! She might tell you, but will you know for sure it is not another story! In her line of work, she sometimes frequents BGs.

She does not come from Isaan, but she is a farmer's daughter. She is 30. I am 47.

I am splitting the B 4000 rent as she used to pay 2000 B for 12 m2 apartment and I would have to pay minimum about B 4000 myself. So this seemed a win-win situation for both of us. I usually pay for food and give her sometimes other gifts when people do.

I am in the process of buying a car, but she wants me to put it on her name and, when I tell her, I want to put it in on my name, she does not want the car anymore. This makes me VERY suspicious, especially considering she does not have a downpayment. She asks me to trust her, but then when I ask her to trust me to put the name of the car on my name (so that she can theoretically be absolved of all the financial responsibilities and allow her to save some to have a downpayment for land/house and such, which is a good compromise since foreigners cannot own land anyway), she is not interested, saying that she is not able to save money!

Slap yourself twice and give your head a serious shake. Then vote with your feet. 30k is one thing but putting the car in her name spells setup. When will the falang learn? Its no wonder many girls think they have won the lottery.

Just be carefull, that's all I can say.

Nothing wrong with the stuff. Just don't crack or break it, the loose particles CAN be dangerous. It's still all over the garage here for a long time.

But honestly, you men with your knight on a white horse syndrome always amaze me.

Yeah, we men also do the other way around

Its necessary for a successful relationship that both parties are committed to working on it, to working out any problems. I think that its also necessary for both partners to be willing to make compromises, not one person doing all the demanding and the other doing all the acceding.

Well said SBK. Thrust and honesty.

I will always be amazed, of how woman are thinking when going into an relationship. I guess the first thing, is they look at the list they prefer of a man, and if he is really worth the effort.

Just look at the legs man... I can pick out every ladyboy.

Reading this you would think every tourist who came to Thailand had been scammed or cheated. Of the millions of tourist who visit Thailand each year how many get scammed, what is the actual number 20%, 30%, 5%, or less than 1%.

In a perfect world no one would get scammed but I donot think that is an option.

With the dubbel pricing, I would say 95% of farang is ripped of.

I was ask to puy my wallet thur the scanner >I did no problem , But by the wy I had all my money and credit, bank cards in my pocket, no medal. all they could have got was my photos and bussiness cards. I also lock my bags Carry i unlock them for inspection which I watch.

My wallet once went trough the scanner with more than a few thousand euro cash ! Nothing happened luckily

My latest project.

Fiat 600 D From 1962, with suicide doors!

( The 500 had a 2 cylinder air cooled, this is a 4 cylinder, water cooled )

Lot's of metal cancer, but she will be fine. Engine was stuck also, after many years in the field, got it loose again and running, that's also ready to go in again. One side, is now in the bondo, and ready to be sanded smooth ( that's a pain ass job )

Brakes are all stuck to. With some hard work, it hope to get it done in 3 to 4 weeks more.

Yeah, something like that smiley

Got a talk with a Dutch/Thai company today, but not my thing. Into sales again

Is there any hope?

I am afraid, there is no hope for you

I am living in Asia for 25 years. If you wanna be successful, you need to be self-driven, innovative, creative and don't ask others to feed you This way the survival game for you won't even start

I am, but I'm not wanting to do things that are out of my field. Plus isn't it any normal you get a reaction back from Thai nor Foreigner companies when applying for a job etc? Is it a good idea, to find the job, when actually in Thailand? Because I don't see any positive development by mail nor phone calls. I really wanna go there, the sooner the better ( GF out there ), I'm willing to take the risks, I did that before.

No Such thing as a good girl - this is your first fallacy that topples everything you have written.

Man, has to stay boss, like it has always been in the past. Imagine woman ruling the world.

It's so funny, when your in a 3rd world country, when you see in almost every job site or newspaper there is nothing asked below masters degree....

this is definitely not the LOS I remember when I first arrived 6 years ago

Get used to see more chances, as the foreigner gets smarter, and looks beyond the thai smile.

From Scandinavia,,,,Thai airways and Finnair !

Are you having a laugh?

Finnair are the only airline to charge for spirits (hard liquor) on long haul flights.

(Apart from the budget airlines).

If you had a planeload of Finns you'd understand.

Maybe in my next life, I'll be born a perfect Thai woman and not a piece of dead Western driftwood!! Can't wait...

We love you just as you are Patsy

Yeah, I loved it to. Great Quote Patsy..

Yup it's a pain in the ass.

besides english , think about teaching dutch. the pay though can be measly. your gf may dump you.....honestly speaking, unless she super love ya.

She does love me, but family ( parents ) influence was to great to bring her to NL ( and other factors ), let stand alone some conflict with my parents happened.

When she went back to Thailand, she did the Exam that was necessary to come here permanently, but then when arriving at parents, their influence part came...

Now I'm the one that's into the shit, knees deep. And I really love my GF, and not wanting to give up. Yeah, life is a pain. I believe it's like AlexLah called it: it's the hope that kills you, the pain is easy.

I'm allready 5 months without my GF now. Men has to set a point in life, wether he wants his career to go first or his own family. For me that's family. If there eventually will be no option, I'd rather stay single, and go for a career or something.
