Wow, straight to the point and actually usable information.

Thank you monty, thats all I needed to know.

Internet in Thailand:

What are the possibilities?

Do you have a data limit (or can you choose not to)?

Are we talking DSL or internet by phone?

And last but not least: What does it cost?

haha, what I meant was:

I can imagine asking someting like that from someones boss coulde involve 'loss of face'.

Or worse: loss of face for the boss when he says no, but he does not want to say yes either. So he feels forced to answer yes. And no boss likes to be forced.

It is not me working there.

And can one ask the boss to extend, or is this difficult because of cultural aspects?

When working in a hotel in Thailand, is it normal to not be allowed more then 1 week in succession of time off?

I mean, I know it is a 24/7 business, but that seems a bit harsh to me.

If this happens, is there something someone can do to get that period extended?

Cripes Im surprised you even have to ask, things must be difficult in your mind that you have to ask a forum. Did she say "Hi Honey" or any "Handsome Man" stuff? if so about 30 seconds should be long enough!! Any other woman who knows??????

What are you rambling about?

Look at the answer I gave sassienie. It applies to you as well.

Thank you torrenova,

a different subject, but an interesting view anyway.

3 to 6 months. Just about the time I had in mind to try something. No surity of the outcome, but a good way to start.

The problem is offcourse that one of us will possibly loose their job if we do this in either country.

And then there is the Thai cultural thing. It is difficult for her to do this because of cultural reasons and it is difficult for me because of money reasons. But both problems can have a solution.

I do agree with that, but I also like to 'feel' the water before I jump in. I like to know that it is not ice cold or boiling hot.

It is difficult for me to do something like just jumping in. I am trying to find out how and when to take the plunge without beeing a blind fool. If I would go 100% by my feeling(s) I would be in LOS right now.

Keep the stories coming, This is actually helping.

Take a look at my thread here:

If none of this applies to you, than the relationship is in with a chance.

Not an answer to the question and I covered all that with one simple line in my OP:

Let us assume it is true love and it is the same from both sides.

So quit with the pessimism please. I am far beyond that stage allready.

Thank you thesunset75. That is indeed the kind of simple story I am loking for.

But I am missing one important part. What did you leave behind. What did you let go to be with the love of your life.

What was the risk you took?

Extra info about me: I am not on this 'decision moment' at this time. But it will come and I like to think ahead.

If this decision needs to be taken I will put my job and house at risk. This means risking (in the worst case scenario) total poverty while beeing in a very different country then my own.

If the decision is that she comes to me. Then she takes the same risk. Which is just as difficult.

How long is a piece of string?

It depends on your situation, on the girl`s situation, how much trust in the relationship, how you both feel about each other and what you both prefer to do.

I think I described the feeling and the level of trust.

Maybe I asked the wrong question. Maybe I should have asked: What made you sure?

I am just looking for a few (good) stories. Nothing too deep. Just simple stories.

I am sure many of you went through this.

You know how it goes:

You go to Thailand from far away (at least 10 hours in the airplane).

Meet this wonderfull women (or man).

Fall in love.

And then what?

You go to Thailand several times in 1 year.

And you are still in love.

Let us assume it is true love and it is the same from both sides.

Beeing apart is terrible.

You cry when you say goodbye.

You must be together.

So you decide to live together. Either country is fine as long as you are together.

You (maybe) marry and live happely ever after (at least, that is the plan).

But how much time did you take for this decision?

And was that too fast or could it have been faster?

What did you have to give up? In other words, how big was the risk you took?

And last but not least: was it the right decision?

My wife visited Germany and Scotland in April. Lousy weather and she felt very cold. ++ I bought some 100% cashmere overcoat for the next trip. Light and warm and cheap on eBay. Finding the appropriate clothes in LOS might be a challenge.

can find warm clothes at Pantip plaza 2 at the ground floor

Thai Garment outlet shop where they sell overstocks from their factory on Chaeng Wattana;

you can find there real winter jackets, sweaters, socks and so on, all top quality and about 25% of the price in Europe.

Good tip, thanks.

Thank you all for these great replies. They are of great use and funny also, they bring a smile to my face.

I am sure many of you have done it.

Please share your stories.

With cold(er) I mean 15 degrees and below.

Did he/she adjust fast?

Did he/she have enough warm clothing?

What surprised him/her?

And so on.

Please share.

can`t you be bothered to find songs you like yourself???

mai kow jai kap!

I can find as many Thai songs as I like.

But I have no clue if they are actually any good.

Thank you thithi and tangoll for some simple and serious answers (just what I was looking for).

try the national anthem.

Aaah, lol. I forgot to add: Not the national anthem.

And why are we doing this for you

what genre?

male or female artist?

etc etc

I would think you could just go out, listen to some music, ask your friends about something you like, and have your own answers

Why: Because I ask you to. Don't wanne answer, then don't.

Genre: Don't care

Artist: Don't care

And I ask you. Again: Don't wanne answer, then don't.

I am looking for a Thai song, with the following qualities:

1) It has to be in the Thai top 100 of all times (this means that in 1 to 5 years I can still hear it on the radio).

2) It has to be an uncomplicated songtext.

3) It has to be easy to sing along with.

Please give me song name + artist (and if possible written songtext).

Thank you.

The long sleeve with collar like the office shirt / man shirt. Often covers the butt and shows legs. Gives you a feeling the girl doesn't wear undies.

I sometimes see girls wear like that on tv in the bed room or in the house. In studios they shoot your photos in this fashion too.

I myself think it's not at all feminine and no way sexy. Don't know who promoted this trend.

Well,............ what if she actually isn't wearing undies?

Thats kind of a turn on.

me = male.

If you buy gold for your tilac, check it out at least once a month.

I fail to see why.

If I give something to someone it is theirs. No matter how our relationship turns out over time.

So that person is free to sell it if they want.

However, having sold something like a given gold ring might not be too good for our relationship.

I also liked the movie.

Allrighty then.

Not my taste, but not totally bad either.

Any more?

I'll admit it right away: I know nothing of Thai music.

What is hot?

What is popular?

What is good?

What are old time favorites?

Please enlighten me.

Aaah, cool.

Thanks a lot.
