    She always said she was happy to be my Thai girlfriend — that seeing me just once or twice a year would be enough, and she would never need anyone else.

    She even deleted her TF account for me.

    She told me she sold lottery tickets from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., and I was beyond convinced I had met her on ThaiFriendly by pure luck — because she swore she never went out with anyone else.

    I fell hard, believing I was the only one she ever loved.

     

    She said she was shy with others, but with me she took showers together, gave obedience, loyalty, and was always smiling. (She was a Cambodian girl living in Bangkok with 3 kids.)

    Over months I spent about ~$5K — tuition, shopping, gifts. She called me “VIP,” gave me night camera access, and swore I was the only one.

    But I used AI and discovered she had been traveling at midnight on some days — before meeting me and after I went back to Europe. It was clear I was not the only one.

     

    I wasn’t the center. I was just another orbit in her sponsor system: men from Taiwan, Germany, Singapore, and me — each circling for a turn — plus 80 more contacts sitting on her WhatsApp, ready for rotation.

    Two days after we split, she was back on dating apps. That’s when I understood: she never changed — she only paused when the money was heavy.

    She probably had more pricks than a 2nd hand dart board.

    All seems a bit confused. Writing about PIN and security questions and Microsoft accounts. These are all separate things.

    I don't think there are security questions when using a PIN. Security questions are for when you forget your password.

    The OP seems to be all over the shop...

     

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/change-or-reset-your-pin-in-windows-a386c519-3ab2-b873-1e9b-bb228a98b904

    It refused my pin number multiple times, so I tried to reset my pin number. It asked me 3 saved questions. I was told that one or more of my answers are wrong. I made the questions as simple as possible. The pin number works fine on my main computer, so I have no need to answer the security questions.

  3. I went back to my main laptop, shut it down, I then reopened it, typed in my pin number and it fired up immediately. I've used the same pin number for many years as it's an abbreviation of the sporting club I played for and the year I was made a life member. So I wouldn't forget it easily. I would do a clean install as suggested but I can't get past the pin number which works ok on my main laptop.

     This is last case scenario, Its your back up Laptop? Is your primary working OK at the moment, is there anything on your back up that's not on your primary? 

     

    I had the same problem 18 months ago, couldn't log on. Just did a clean reinstall. 

     

     

    How do I do a clean re install when I can't get past the pin number when trying to open my laptop

    I totally agree but surely they can change the subject occaisionally. I like watching football too but it doesn't dominate me. 

  6. I never forget when I lived in a suburb of Bangkok, their was a car thief in the area. A local policeman lived 100 metres from our town house. One morning he went to his car and noticed forced marks on the cars windows. So around 2 am he sat in his balcony with his weapon at the ready. So along comes the perp, the BIB let fly with 3-4 shots. When he went downstairs there was no perp only 4 slug holes in his Toyota pick up.

    Hi there, I recently tried to login to my back up laptop. I was asked identity questions 1. The name of my first pet.  2. My childhood nick name.  3. My first school. So I answered these questions and I was told I got one or more answers wrong. So I repeated the process 4-5 times, thoroughly checked my answers and got the same reply. Is there a way around this?

    Firstly I only ever had one family pet.  I went to one only primary school. I've had the same nick name all my life. So I don't understand what my problem is.

    My brother inlaw is a Brit, he asks me to meet him in bars from to time with his Brit mates. All they talk about is premier league football. That's probably all they know, the football is ok but they all give their opinions as if they were premier league managers. It wouldn't matter if a televised game is non premier league, they must watch the game and give their

    expert opinions.

    Are referring to th poo house prophets? I can catergorically say after living in Pattaya for the past 25 years  any advice I've given guys is things that I've actually done myself. I never fill people with bull s*it

    I have about half a dozen expat friends here.

  11. I've been married to a Thai lady for 25 years, she comes from a large family up north. The main problem with teenage boys in Thailand is their mums and dads go to work sometimes a very long way from home. Pornchai is left to live with his granny and she spoils him so much he hasn't got any idea what discipline is as he's never been brought into line. On the other hand my step daughter is married to a Thai Chinese guy and he really disciplines his son sometimes a bit to much. Most times there's no bad kids, it's the parents who never teach their kids what's right. Pattaya is full of out of control young guys, who come from the country supposedly looking for work, they meet guys like themselves get on the booze/drugs so that's the end of them going to work

  12. I got married to a Thai lady 25 years ago, everything went smoothly for many years but not now. After being pestered to buy her an android phone she's hardly spoken me since as she's absolutely addicted to it. I'm not the type that likes to be pampered but I expect to get a reply when I ask her a simple question. She snarled at me one day, what have I ever done for her. I replied I gave her a life. I'm not that type of person so I take it to heart the way I'm totally ignored. I don't even sleep with her as she can crank up her phone at 3 am in the morning.

    One other thing I must add, My next Thai visa renewal is due in around 6 weeks. So how can I have the required 400,000 Thai baht for a marriage visa in a Thai bank account for 2 or 3 months which ever is applicable prior to the date of renewal. I'm certain quite a few Thai politicians failed 2nd grade plasticine. 

    My wife brought up an interesting point before. As I was in a Krungsri Bank in Pattaya last week to re activate my app that had been callencelled I was told that as I am over 70 years old I can't have a Krungsri Bank app on my phone anymore. I queried the teller and she made several calls to her head office and she stated that's the new banking rule change. Do Thai citizens get their banking apps cut when they get to 70 years old?

    PS : I've been a Krungsri customer for the past 25 years.

  14. I'm having a problem here trying to get some common sense in regards to my wifes date of birth. My wife was born in 1956 in a very rural part of Korat, her Thai ID has the month and year that she was born but the day space is vacant. She wasn't registered till she was one year old. Anyway on our last trip to Australia she was warned if there was no day on which she was  born on her passport she would be refused entry. I've been living in Thailand for 25 years and have tried numerous times to seek help in this matter. No one will even consider biting the bullet or give us some info on how to rectify this problem. May I add even her ID has a blank before the month and year that she was born.
