sure, get your toes wet... ps - one of our posters here stated that he was so pleased that he was understood when asking for something at the store... 2 weeks later, he boasted that he now can speak Thai... sure, he learned a sentence but someone who has been speaking for 20 years surely has a better understanding of the language than he does.

I think if for you, marriage is about keeping all your money, then it is probably not for you...

Cost and cover of medical insurance at an old age
1FinickyOne replied to KUGS's topic in Insurance in Thailand
I self insure. I think the last thing I would want if I had a medical issue would be to be fighting w/an insurer. And if I was the insurer, the last thing I would want would be an elderly insuree -
There are Western comforts outside of Disneyland... living in Thailand is fascinating if you want to learn about a new culture, language and way of living... though I think trashing people different from you will not be respected.

My over-sized stupid neighbor is an Oxey Moron

How often does Chiang mai have large wildfires in the city?
1FinickyOne replied to TravelerEastWest's topic in Chiang Mai
I understand. A friend of mine from Maine advises me to stock up on warm clothes and firewood.... please don't cut your beautiful trees. But, if you do, we can use the firewood. -
ridiculous idea - go from being here legally to illegal... the money will go to his wife soon enough. Why break a law and risk legal trouble? I doubt he is looking for problems.

That's what I am waiting for... who can take the time to look at and remember prices of hotdogs...
-
Yes, but I want to make them at home - - what brand does Dukes use?
-
I have had a few really god hotdogs in restaurants - but where can I buy them in a supermarket - what brand is best? I guess beef but pork ok too...

Sure, maybe not - - That would not be on my list of worries - -
Good point - - and in my experience, things change, both for better or worse, more expensive or less... I have given anywhere from nothing to what would be considered a lot. My wife is a "person" - - she has dreams and wants and it became part of my life and happiness to help her achieve and exceed her goals... through sickness and in health. it is called sharing and caring - - and for me, it comes w/no obligations.

That's telling him!! - - It is all individual, every case is different... If you only have 30,000 baht a month income and you give 15,000, you are very generous... If you have 500,000-1MM baht a month, 20,000 baht a month would be cheap...

What % of farangs in Thailand are worth talking to?
1FinickyOne replied to bignok's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
5.7% on Thursday but only 3.2% son Friday, decreasing through the weekend as the booze flows... then back to 4.8% by Tuesday.. -
my understanding of baht busses and songtaews in CM is that the price is for staying on their route. If you want them to take you somewhere off the route you negotiate the price and they seem much more reasonable than taking a taxi.

Have you ever paid taxes?

And no consideration for the people who have to pick up your litter?

Explaining Thailand to people that have never been
1FinickyOne replied to bignok's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
W. if you could afford it. would you rather live back in the Western world where you were born? I can afford either but far prefer to be here. -
You need to write a will and have an executor - you might need a Will for both here and there... talk to a lawyer.
