The Thais I've met in the last 3-4 years of stay here are not overly fond of the Muslims in the South, especially as there are almost daily reports of some bombing or the other down there.

History lesson 1. The south was muslim till the brits changed things. End of discussion.

How on gods earth are people on TV supposed to have an answer for that question. The things some people ask.

It's not a bad idea I suppose. My condo doesn't have aircon public spaces. People open their doors for breezes. 

Thanks for that great bit of info.

Two years and she gives him the big heave ho. Stupid old man. And no  age pension after ten years of working. He act proud that he thinks he is goint to Oz to rip off us Oz taxpayers.

We should all  reach out to the poor fellow and offer to spend some time with him.

Not your business and of course not farang owned amd no farang working.

 

 

 

 

I am well aware it is not my business, I dont even know you. Ok, I exagerated about bomb proof, just fire proof should be enough.

Farang owned food truck! Great idea, make sure it is bomb proof though.

That's an eye opener!

 

I was sent photos, kids were pleased as punch, so, worthwhile.

I brought a case of  kids clothes back and gave to an orphanage in Patts. They had been given to me by friends back in Oz. Next tme i went baqck to oz, this time , had no more free clothes so i went to the salvo op shop and paid $1 per item to make up a case full. Brought them back, was advised by the orphanage that the kids had enough clothes so the were sold off , by the kids at an open day for 10 Baht each. Not  complaining abut the orphanage just telling what happened.

6 months as a tourist, You must really enjoy this lovely place. Enjoy your stay in the LOS.

20k what?

US Dollars? (many nationalities in the forum)

For 9 months?

20k USD ~ 700 k  Baht (THB)

About 77k Baht per month.

 

Read the third line , not just the heading.

And the day someone can figure out why so many farang get their knickers in a knot about the most trivial things will indeed be a day to circle on your calendar.

 

Pettiness aside, if you had a similar problem in a bar in UK, USA or Australia, would you immediately ask why all Brits or Americans or Australians employ a logic that befuddles you? 

Ive been asking that very question for years. IQ has got a lot to do with it.

P.S. The Ozzie embassy only requires a stat dec from us. I guess its because we are known for our honesty.

Immigration has no requirement for you to show 3 months of income to apply for an extension. You just need proof you have an income proven by a letter from an embassy.

I never said 3 months proof of income, What I am saying is that dont have the proof of income more than 3 months old, (for the yearly income.). Just playing it safe.

If you "dont worry about that" and things go pear shape, you gotta start the whole process over again. Try to get proof of income less that 3 months old.

Not what I would call a new topic. But still, extremely interesting.

Why, if you are one of the RIPers, sorry if my information offends.

 "Buddhists believe that after death each person is reincarnated as another being."

 

... unless they attain nirvana. I think the moral here should be those Buddhist Thais that keep finding themselves having to 'make merit', they'll never achieve it. I kind of prefer there to be nothing; imagine coming back and having an abusive parent, as a sand worm, or a democrat for instance. 

 

But people saying RIP is just courtesy. Get over it.

Courtesy to a dead person. Not possible.

Saying RIP to a buddist couldnt be more rediculous and out of order.   "Buddhists believe that after death each person is reincarnated as another being."  To keep telling them that you hope they are not reincarnated is absurb. One other thing, they cant hear you.
