    It is and Raillay has had a change for the worse as well. Simply too built up now. You see them and avoid them. Most Thai beaches are like that sadly. Can see it could be a problem for those that have no idea about Thai strays.

    Krabi is a province not an island. Never heard that it has a reputation for being unsafe. In fact other than Ao Nang it seems to be one of the cleanest and friendly places around to visit, with so many things to do. Hot springs, crystal clear fresh water areas, mangrove swamps, beaches, rock climbing are just a few fun activities.

    Same thing happened to our housekeeper about 5 months ago. She lost 250,000 basically all her savings. Simply naive she was. It is gone and there is no way to get it back. I feel for her and your BIL. She has moved on. Won't do it again that is for sure.

    Pattaya celebrates a week later than other places in general. April 18 and 19 will be big days.

    From that description and the video linked the girls and ladyboys will only see one thing. $$$$$.

    If you are going that far you need to be tested for sleep apnea as well.

    I got a new drivers license last week. As part of that you have 4 "physical" tests you must pass. Color blindness, Depth perception, Speed of breaking, and Peripheral vision. Half of the Thai applicants failed one of these with the majority not being able to recognize a red light and brake in time. It was truly shocking to see the same people picking up their new license an hour later.

    Kind of like playing dice. Superb until you are denied entry. Entry is up to the discretion of the IO you get upon entering.

    Believe me I know. Living in north Bangkok its sort of my go to street. Having lived here for so long I have seen it go from a smaller road with orchards and nurseries all along it to the massive road it is now. My Foodland and Makro are both on that street.

    The Pink Line monorail construction does cause jams, but on Changwattana Rd. Not on any highway. Just to be clear to people who are travelling there.

    Dont get on the internet. Mate you seem to have become a bit of a hypochondriac or cyberchondriac lately. First your liver and now this. There is a reason doctors go to med school for years after they have graduated in a science. If you are really worried get into a top hospital and take your records, then get a second opinion and try to understand what the doctor says.

    There has been no surprise change. Since at least the beginning of December it has been known and documented the 45 day deal would end on March 31. Sure people hoped it would be extended but it was not. You should not have been surprised at all.

    If you do this every year and enjoy yourself simply get a 60 day tourist visa before you leave. You can double your fun. 40+ years ago there was no visa waiver or visa on arrival. You simply got one before you came.

    Quite a book you wrote.

    This is where I would start my search for what went wrong. They were not regular girls. Sincerely wish you good luck getting through this.

    They did over 10 years ago.

    Khon Kaen University has a good veterinary school. They have a hospital there and it would be like Kasetsart Uni's vet program. Great teaching doctors, and staff, along with bright young students trying to get one of their life's goals. We have used Kaset for both a cat and our dogs over the years. You get proper receipts and prescriptions.

    I rent a car at SFO on arrival. The last 3 times I have used this company and have been happy. But I have been driving 50+ years and never really had an accident so I can't say on the cover and payout. But the rentals companies do honor this policy and in my eyes its much better than the rip off rates charged by the rental agencies...https://www.worldwideinsure.com/

    Unless she is fluent in written and spoken Thai her odds are zero.

    But his money!! I would normally never say this but its a fact. Take into consideration your wife's feelings but let her know who is paying, and who burned down a portion of your land. Everyone in general has been very polite in their responses which is great. BS nobody is going to be staying there if the OP does not keep funding this project. UP2U mate.

    Pretty sure you can go across a bridge and turn around and come back without needing an agency.

    Dont know if you can or not but the headline you came up with is a bit off. Bali may propose cutting visa free entry for Russians and Ukrainians would be closer to what is being reported by CNN among other news sources.

    Many? Not many at all. 10%? Totally illiterate today?

    31 years for me. Most were covered by my work permit then when retired yellow book, but this year they wanted the residence certificate. After 31 years at the same address. TIT.
