I flew Bus class twice with Eva Bkk>TO 777, yes very good.Keep in mind that was 4-5 years ago. I haven't used KAL for 10 years so can't say. They were okay at the time.

Back in the day pre covid I only used Eva BKK>Pearson.Business on their 777 was great.Not cheap but those flights are killer for me.It was just shy of 24 hours door to door Pattaya>St.Catharines. Previously I used KAL YVR>BKK when I lived in Nanaimo.

This is turning into a giant can of worms.78 million sent to who,when ? Police Lt Col plus her sister involved and how many more?Better call Sherlock and grab some popcorn.

Nick..A little off topic but I can see you as a valuable asset for the UK expats.I'm a Canadian with a similar issue.My Thai wife is entitled to 37.5% of one of my gov't pensions as a widow.I have downloaded all the necessary forms and filled out most of the details already including addressed envelopes..She's been instructed to have my death certificate etc translated and notarized.It would be next to impossible for her to complete this task on her own.In her case the Cdn gov't withholds a 25% non resident tax.I don't know any fellow Canucks to rely on to assist her. Do your UK contacts do the same? cheers

I can't understand why there aren't solar panels on every roof.I acknowledge that someone earning 400 baht/day can't afford it but the gov't should provide incentives surley.Apparently PEA makes it difficult to transfer excess power to the grid.

Kenny,I must admit that you've hit on some very valid points here.We've been together off/on for about 20 years so I've got some feelings invested.She takes any statement from a Dr as gospel.The "bite the hand that feeds them"strikes a cord.I've done nothing but contribute to her and her families welfare yet I'm always the bad guy if anything goes sideways.Maybe I'm fighting a battle I can't win.I could go on but I don't want to air the dirty laundry in this forum.Thank you sir. Good luck to you also in your struggles.

Yes maybe use an old tactic from BKK BIB..hold him by the ankles over an open window on the 10th floor and ask him where she is.Maybe his memory will improve. Perps have been know to commit suicide in some cases. Its been in the BKK Post before.

Dr T..thanks mate I may do just that if okay.Shes been away for 4 weeks and returns today and It'll be interesting to see things go now that I have better knowledge about the root cause.BTW I'm doing some research on Fish oil Omega 3 supplements with emphasis on DHA/EPA. You have any comment on that? Its been tested and proven to help BPD patients.

OMG..that looks good.There's nothing like that in Pattaya that I'm aware of.Years ago there was one near where the Avenue is now or in that area.The German guy who ran it was a fugitive involved the theft from some wildlife fund or? Cell phones had just came out and I noticed he always had 3 in front of him..a little trivia

Thanks T..I'll be 73 my next b/d so that makes it difficult for me to move away.Beside its my house not hers.By following this blog I've learnt a lot.I used to think she hated me when an outburst would occur.I now realize that her sporadic anger/rage is coming from inside and she can't control it.She knows something isn't right.After a few hours the anger subsides as quickly as it happens.I now know that it's a mental issue.With that knowledge I now have a more pragmatic attitude and will try to encourage her to find help.I see it thru different eyes now that I know whats causing the anger. I do notice that she's taken up walking each morning with her sister.I bought her a pedometer and she does about 5-6k steps in the am. Thats a start.Wish me luck. She's bull headed and will never admit she has a problem though.(saving face)

I was in an area of BKK years ago and there were several shops that had 4 cylinder engines on pallets obviously for sale.Many choices.You'll need a knowledgeable/trustworthy Thai mechanic to help help select the correct one that will bolt in without many mods.They may even bench run it for you along with a compression check.(beer involved)

Yes,if he beat the kid with a stick there should be DNA all over the place. That should be bulletproof evidence. Am I wrong here?

Dr Tom, Thats not really possible when she's the wife and you live under the same roof? Please tell me how to stay clear when we live in the same house. I've tried being nice to the extreme but it does not work in the least.

My Thai wife is a good example.Give her 4 big bottles of Leo and watch out! The pent up anger comes out like you wouldn't believe.Sober, nice as pie.I believe there are inner issues that are impossible to discuss as I've tried.At 1st I put it off to menopause but thats come and gone I think...

I'll bet money this fellow is ex SAS or Delta force.I've met many over the years while warming a bar stool in Pattaya. All BS aside I actually bought a (real) one years ago at a bonafide dealer at Siam Square BKK. I sold it a year later.I was traveling a lot at the time and had the distinct feeling I was being sized up for a mugging on more that a few occasions.

I believe you're on point there Crossy.The inner parts of these fans are mass produced in sweat shops in PRC.I can't believe Hatari or any other brand makes there own capacitors etc. BTW I've tossed out many fans over the years because they wouldn't start or ran slow. Now I realize they only needed a replacement capacitor for 20 baht. Same as a/c units. One of the a/c stopped working.The repairman showed me the old capacitor and charged me 1200 baht for the call.I kept the old one and went to a dealer and bought the same one for 250 baht as a spare and used it on another unit 6 months later.Lesson learned.

Easy answer.I think it only needs a new capacitor.Dirt cheap on LAZADA.I changed my first one last year. I was a litle apprehensive but it was not too difficult at all.You only need a couple tools you probably already have around.Go to You Tube and look up capacitor replacement for fans and Bobs your uncle.

Agreed.I'm 20 years here and this is the hottest hot season for me in Pattaya.

So sad so young.This is precisely why I have a signed DNR form in my medical files with my Thai Dr. At 72 it's all about quality of life.I do not want to be a burden on my Thai wife and family.Nor do I wish to spend my last days staring at a ceiling in a helpless situation. I don't want their inheritance wasted away to an ICU unit who won't hesitate to pull the plug when informed "money finit" No regrets

Those numbers are only demanded because you're a farang.Even if she was an 18 yo virgin it would be too much.No disrespect but there is no great demand for her demographic. There are no guarantees that the marriage will last. Money and wifey gone forever. IMHO its a mugs game.Give the folks 10k and just cohabitate.Done deal. The old saying applies here.>Don't buy the whole cow if you only want a glass of milk. PS:I've been married 3 times already.

I was in my late 50.s.Touring on my Street Glide with a mate(2 bikes) around most of Thailand, Cambodia,Laos and to KL for the F1 race.Done over a couple years mind you. A bucket list item and accident free by some miracle.

555..try this scenario...the senior cop will get the bag.He asks ,does anyone know who owns this bag? Answer..no.Ok then I'll take care of this.Its laughable to think for 1 minute the cops will be activly seeking out the owner. Years ago on Samui a acquaintance had just returned from Dubai with 20k usd cash.Proceeds from a 2 month stint offshore.Locked it in his room and "surprise" it was broken into and money gone.He had a big mouth and frequently mentioned in the bar that he made good money.He went to the cops who asked him for money to look for his money.crickets

I was with the UK version of Bupa Blue cross from work.I then moved to Thailand and had heart bypass surgery.The Thai version placed a ton of exclusions on my policy.I tell everyone I'm covered from my chin up and my navel down.They will have a field day with the diabetes issue.Also they would only allow me to have the lowest coverage policy.I'm glad I kept it because lucky me I got bowel cancer and they covered that.Oh well. Now I don't buy green bananas.

Very good observation.Thais staying right up until the last minute to get their money's worth. Beyond logic.They probably stay that long to charge their phones thinking of free electricity and air con. Staff? Owners pretend to pay workers pretend to work.
