Herein lies the reason. You tell your new tilac to put her seatbelt on. "But why?" In case we have an accident, it will help to protect you. "Huh? But we haven't had an accident yet." And that is exactly what my ex said to me. God bless all those merry souls waiting to have an accident.

Same logic as when my partner's car broke down and I ask her where the manual was. "It's at home", I ask her why she doesn't keep it in the car and she says "because my car has never broken down before". Brilliant. This actually happened on the same day after she had complained about her mother never taking her phone with her whenever we try to call her; he mother replied "when I carry my phone nobody ever calls me". My gf did not see the similarities in both of their flawed logic.

No lift and she paid more than was asked? Hmmmmm.

I was gonna say, my missus rides her moped to her parent's house on the other corner of our block, there is no way I can imagine any Thai not unhappy about walking up and down 5 flights of stairs. She would've complained about the trek just to see the room and back. You got scammed!!

Happy to hear you found a nice place to live. Does this mean you are renting now? What are your plans for the house?

Yeah, we are renting this apartment in Bangkok for at least 1 year. The house I built in Ubon is now sat empty and I guess will be used as a holiday house for us all to go back and visit my partner's family every couple of months. We went back last week for a few days to ship everything to Bangkok and, going back after a spending a month in Bangkok, I don't regret moving away for my kids one bit, the only bad thing is that their grandparents, uncle and aunties etc who they are very close to who will miss them so much, but unfortunately they do not live in a place which is good or safe for my children to grow up in so I am forced to make this harsh large step.

I've just spent a month in Ubon. My 2 1/2 year old had a great deal of fun playing with the other kids at the Tesco play area. I recommend it.

You might also consider signing yours up for pre-school half day classes. It would do him a world of good. There are many in Ubon.

Socializing is always a concern and like you I think my little one doesn't see enough kids.

Well, in the end we moved to Bangkok. We now live in a family private complex with 8 towers of family apartments, 4 playgrounds, 2 huge swimming pools, 2 football pitches and a basketball court, and at 4pm here it looks like a school playground with all of the kids everywhere. We are also surrounded by schools and playschools and my son has just started a playschool for a few hours a day. In just a few weeks I can see the change in him already as he is much friendlier and sociable with other children, something which would not have happened if we had stuck it out in a remote village.

I posted a similar question in this forum a few months ago and as a result we stayed at Sunee. It was awesome and much better than anything I could've expected from Ubon. We stayed in LaiThong a couple of years ago with my parents when they came to visit us but the Sunee is a different league altogether. And we ate in the hotel restaurant and stayed in watching the band in the lounge 3 out of the 4 nights we stayed! That's how good the place was. We travelled with our 2 young kids too and everything was great.

So, in summation, I would recommend the Sunee hotel!!

never allow your wife to conduct any business whatsoever, this is a fundamental error. the only time your wife should spend money is if she is in charge of housekeeping duties and submits a monthly account for approval. you can allow a discretionary fund for her to purchase personal items but again this should be audited regularly to check for overspending or frivolous purchases

keep her on a lead as well

I also don't understand what she was doing outside of the kitchen. Looking at apartments when she should be making sandwiches for the OP, what the hell "cashpower"??

/joking <- I've come to learn that to point out the obvious is needed in the General Forum otherwise there will be some sandy-pantied OAP in here trying to give me hell for a joke comment!

OK Thanks. Might go down tomorrow and grab one.

Last time i checked the price was 19,500 at Gameboy. (they also said they would do the killzone pack plus COD for 23,500)

Anyone seen it cheaper?

It's 19,200 baht in Bangkok for the Killzone or Battlefield bundle. I wonder if Nadz have an outlet or will deliver to Pattaya?

So is there any benefit from buying from Sony direct?

Or should i just buy from anyone in TukCom as long as the SKU number matches the Singapore version above?

Thanks for the responses guys!

It's the same thing, the SKUs are identical, the warranty will be the same, Sony Center just charges more for it and releases it much later.

Yes you are right. HK is not included.

Anyway just to let you know, I was in the SOny Center asking about PS4, they showed me paper of how much stock is allocated to Thailand for tomorrows launch.

Prepare.... 100 UNITS for all country. That is just insane only 100 units, I asked if tht was for their store they said no, all country.

I'm confused. There is stock now, and has been for the last 3 weeks, in MBK of the Singapore model you want. Why do you want to pay about 15% more for it from the Sony Center for the same thing released much later?

As long as console is from any SE Asian country you shoukd be covered by regional warrantySent from my HTC One using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

I think that is wrong. The Hong Kong version is not covered by local warranty here in Thailand whereas the Singapore/Malaysian model is.

The Singapore/Malaysian version is SKU number CUH-1006 iirc, that's the model you want.

Hi,

Im still a little unsure.

I live in Pattaya, Thailand.

Where is the best place to purchase a legit version and be covered by warranties etc. I dont mind paying a little extra knowing that i will be covered by warranty etc.

So purchase the Singapore version. I bought mine from MBK in BKK but in Pattaya I'm sure the best place to look would be TukCom.

My son had HFM twice before he was 2, both times in Isaan, the first time caught from a child who came to his 1st birthday party and the second time caught from a playground in Sisaket (we think). The 2nd time was the Enterovirus71 virus which can be deadly so he spent a few days in a hospital under observation and on a drip which was awful to see.

It is scary but there are more scary things to be worried about here. TBH I was more concerned with Dengue than I was HFM, even after he had caught HFM twice.

On the day I bought mine she(!) said they were gonna put up the price to 18,200 baht, so it was planned before Nadz sold out.

If anyone sees a UK region Knack for about 1500 baht here let me know. There are literally no other games I want right now except Resogun.

Scratch that. Apparently Knack is a fat sack of crap. So there is literally only 1 game I want for my PS4. Balls.

SO which shop here in Thailand Sells PS4 cheapest? I plan to buy one more for my bedroom.

Someone mentioned weak bht for the cause of high price in Nadz, is BS even with slightly weak bht price would not be 4000 bht higher. They just try to make a killing on a demand and low stock.

Nadz sells Camera bundle for 19 and sony official shop for 21 and they can give it in credit 0% for 10 months which is not bad.

Go back and read through this thread for answers!

OP. You keep trying to figure out what her feelings are. You know already. I mean, enough is enough. Stop the flowers, the notes, the ipad views, the skype crap.

If I was there, I would bitch-slap you by now.

I am guessing you are one of the single guys...

...like you are right now!

So I've kinda lost track of this. If you walk away right now how much money and gold has it cost you? Just wondering.

Right now 1/2 bat gold, less the ring loss after I return it. maybe 10k in gifts and dinners and 80k baht in cash but they said they were going to give me some back. We will see... They have done a lot for me and bought me things too so whatever on any loss. Not that big of a deal to me. If they do not give me any back I will be reporting them to whoever I can as internet scammers. Unless a lot of people here on this forum think htat I shouldn't??? Any thoughts?

So you gave 100k baht to these people that you have never met before on your first trip. Even if you are the first mark they are doing pretty well from it.

And 30k salary a month to work in a salon is bull plop too. That's expat teacher money. For a salon worker in Isaan it's more like 6k baht plus meals.

Let us know what the outcome of getting your money back is. Forget any ramification against them if or when you don't.

This has setup written all over it.Get out while you can.Would you do this in the west,you have your traditions too you know,it is not a one way steet.

haha, but it is only a one way street... theirs! Like a couple of other posts mentioned, My concerns fly right past them like they never even her. Only thing running is their program. And they just see me as a talking buffalo.

So it's been quite a journey and experience for us all and "YES" is the unsurprising answer to the title of this thread, thanks for playing OP, hope you enjoyed your game.

OK mods, you can close it now.

If you guys are not interested then don't come here. Plenty of other people are (17 pages), so what do you think gives you the right to ask for it to be closed. STAY AWAY if you aren't interested. Or is this because you have NEVER had such a response to anything you have put up on TV.....

I'm so sorry you don't understand sarcasm. (FYI I was being sarcastic here too).

You met her on an Internet dating site looking for an expat. Do you really need ask yourself what she was doing there? She already found what she was looking for; 5 million baht for her companionship to give to her family, and she may well grow to love you but she was hunting for a rich husband and here you are.

Although it may sound fun at first, what are you going to do hanging around a bunch of teenagers if you go and spend time with her and her friends? Get over this crush of yours, get as much money and gold back as you can cuz it sounds like you work hard for it, and stop looking for love in all the wrong places.

She does not have friends, only family. Works all the time. I actually have some of the gold back now after talking to father this morning and she offered to pay me back however much of the sin sod I want back. The question now is not sincerity, it is can she be what I need. She is trying right now to get me to come back...

Of course she has friends, she lives in the village she grew up in and went to school in. Where do you think all of her school friends and bfs are? Where are all the other teenagers she grew up with? Or was she raised inside that salon? If you are not being introduced to any of her friends then this should also set off a few alarm bells.

Get as much back as you can, and if you are really want to test the sincerity of this girl then set up a few new profiles on the website you met her on and try to start talking to her on it, see if she says she is single.

From what you have said it doesn't seem like you two have much in common anyways, mentally, socially, or anything, you said she cannot even verbally communicate with you? Again, do you not wonder why she is so good at net speak? How many guys from the internet do you think have visited before you? These are all things I would consider, and in my consideration, if I were you, I would cut my losses, get as much of your money back as you can and be off as you are not off to a good start.

Sorry, didn't read the complete replies but how old are the kids? A Wii might be a better option if they are quite young.

I don't know PS2 prices anymore but I bought a chipped one from MBK 5 years ago for 4k baht with 2 controllers, games are 50 to 100 baht only. The PS2 does have a huge catalogue of games available but is 2 generations behind the latest tech (go and read all the other stories about Thai children not wanting a 2nd hand bike etc...). If they are teenagers then a PS3 is more appropriate, but I think you are better off going for real games over copies for it cuz of the protection and lock out.

Other considerations; a cheap android tablet, they have a lot of child orientated games and you can play YouTube and download kids movies onto them, my 2.5 year old son is kept amused with some edu games and vids all the time. Puzzingo, Tutitu, EvanTube etc. He also watches the Gruffalo and Winnie the Pooh on it and so on. I'm sure you get the idea.

Will I be able to use my PSN subscription on my PS3 and PS4? Or are they different.

It's the same subscription. I'm subbed up until end of 2015!!
