Thanks for the detailed answer. In all honesty I would not look at your project due to the excessive and often inaccurate hyperbole. But thats just me.

Are you always this frazzled? What is a short temple school? And what are you on about kindergarten? This is age 3-5 or 6 in Thailand. Then there are 6 levels of Pratom or Primary, that she should finish at 12 or 13. Then she begins Mattayom or Secondary school until 18 or so. You dont even seem to know how schools here work. Not much more to say other than I am glad I am not in your shoes. Try to respect your wife a bit, you once did as you chose to marry her, always remember she is the mother of your kids and they need her love as well.

BS. The last 15 years I have had my hair cut by a great female cutter. After covid the prices went up to 120 for a shave and a cut. She is quite happy when I give her 150. Plenty of these all over Thailand. You just need to know where to look. I dont know of any long term residents who pay the price you quote. Most often the higher price is because they are in a mall or a pricy area. Lots of great barbers and stylists for the locals bro.

You call this short term? Wow.

Seems you run with a pretty low rent crowd there Con.

This is the problem. This kind of BS Math Program should never be allowed to start at primary school. Sorry but the problem is fully your wife. At your daughters age she should not have to go through this type of thing. My kids went to a great private primary school where they were taught to be good kids as much as learning. I would not want to be you in dealing with this problem. Best of luck but you have to stop it or you will see negative consequences in both physical and mental development.

They are saying 2028 but with double tracks and many tunnels it wont be. 2032 has a nice ring to it. Cant link the article I found but its the Post from two and a half years ago. Very little progress since then, which is a pity as it is a great idea.

Garlic bread??? ???? what a recommendation..

Ouch this is going to anger the husband of the woman in the car. Only going to make his mood worse.

Pity you dont even know what a boomer is. By posting this you come off quite silly.

So why dont they do that the first week back here? To me it seems much easier for they as Thai's to rectify the situation as they speak the language and still should know the culture. I can't figure out why they simply cant do this themselves, as its their country.

No they arent. Krung Thai Bank is the government bank. GSB is Government Saving Bank a rather smaller bank. You are the first foreigner I have know to have an account there,

The educated 18 to 30 year olds finally got out and voted. As it turned out millions of others found MF's message the right one. Not bought but earned. This is the best time in Thailand's modern history for a change. It will take time. The next elections will clinch it after growth is shown. The bottom line is that in Pita they simply have someone they can be proud of rather than embarrassed.

Way to sweeping and broad of a statement. Also think about the 14 million people who voted for MF. Please desist with the Thai's dont...... Even your analogy is silly. Thai's renovate their houses all the time. The same Thai's want the government reformed, hence the election results.

The old dinosaurs are reduced to throwing sh&t at the wall and seeing if it sticks. Literally beyond belief, fueled by brain dead hardcore loyalists. As an indicator of how popular this idea is just go to a movie, and see what happens now when the royal anthem is played.

Sorry mate, but this is Thailand. 18-25 for undergraduate studies. Not at all like the west.

Not in Thailand. Taught here for a long long long time.. Dont forget how young Thai's look and act in general.

Those in the photo are well over university age. Most in their 30's. So much for youth.

This is very true indeed. It also is the reason that the people who decide to stay and make Thailand their home in general move out of these areas. I have been in the northern Bangkok suburbs for over 30 years now and have many wonderful Thai friends. I look forward to getting up and joining my "walk/jog" gang at 630 am for our daily early exercise. Big smiles and hellos each day as we pass each others houses on our way to the park. I started out alone 7 years ago and now there are 20-25 people out daily. Something I do look forward to. Your life here is what you make of it. OP, You wrote: Time to move North. Try Chiang Mai / Chiang Rai. Unless things have drastically changed the past three years people are much nicer up there. I think it’s because it’s cooler or more Lao influence in the culture. This is a very good indication you have not taken the time to learn anything about Thailand or its culture. The north is from Lanna ancestry not Lao. The Lao influence comes from Isaan, the northeast of Thailand. Their foods and language are very different from each other.

So you were not looking for advice you were looking for someone who agreed with you. Well after one hundred posts you found one more sad guy who does not fit in here. Blames it on the people and the country. Sad indeed. Maybe you two can PM, meet up and bitch your days away. ????

What would be difficult about it once you've made up your mind? What is the point in staying somewhere where you are sure you are not liked, and wanting to isolate yourself from the citizens of the country you have chosen to live?

You as the OP seem to have a chip on your shoulder. Who is being rude, racist, and trying to cheat you? Sad to live abroad and wake up each day feel like this. What is the point?

I too have never experienced anything like you do or have. Been here 35 years now. It may have to do with your overall attitude. Anybody who responds in a way you dont like you are swift to jump, as this post shows.

They are always late here, thats been a fact for over 40 years. Simply too much single wide track, hence a lot of stopping. Until about 15 years ago nobody cared. There was a dining car on all long distance trains. Beer and whisky served along with good foods. Nice spicy salads, noodles, and air dried spicy beef or pork to have with your drinks. Then a girl was raped by a railway employee and the brain trust of the SRT decided to ban all booze and cooked food. That stopped a lot of my train travel. They do leave on time, but generally dont arrive on time.
