If you feel a need to stress that, it sounds obvious that you will not want to stay here. I might point out that when it is bad here, it is often bad in many places in Thailand.,,,
For me, it is very rarely even noticeable... I have been with other friends on a clear day, mountains all in sight and they are crying about how bad the air quality is?? So, I will guess the answer is that it will be disturbing to the point of how sensitive you are personally...
not sure how it works for you - but so far we have been successful.
We once had a problem w/snakes but I taped a sign to the ledge of the step saying 'Ham Ngoo'- - and they stopped coming,
Mat=ybe he is a charitable guy helping someone less fortunate... it's his money and he should and can spend it in a manner that gives him the most satisfaction... he doesn't seem to have a problem sending it - she doesn't seem to have a problem receiving it - - you are the only one who seems to have a problem with this arrangement...
And sure, if she finds someone better, she will go with them... I doubt it is stopping her from anything....
Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide, the chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon, for the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who that it's namin'
For the loser now will be later to win
For the times, they are a-changin'
,What you should do is hang things in your window so that it does not look like a continuation of the outside world - - we used to live in the woods of Pa. and we would keep a box handy for them to have a safe place to relax and gain consciousness and then eventually release them.
My wife had a cockateel and she was incredibly smart.
when I ask a question I might get 10% of the answers that are even remotely related to my question - - you are 'le-e-it mahk' - - very precise. Of course, if you used the agent method you probably wouldn't have to ask the question...
As someone who dislikes both pain and paperwork, I assigned the task to my visa agent, who called me when it was completed... and I went to his office and picked it up
many - and maybe the best was the first - written in the 1950s I think - A Lady of Bangkok - I think that was the title about a Brit who comes here for work and gets ruined by a Bangkok Bar girl - His name was Reginald and she called him 'Wretch' [Reg]
self publishing is probably the only way - - unless you are a known and published writer - no defamation if you change names and some of the details so the character is not recognizable.
At least you tried - other members here think they are above the locals and it is not worth trying to speak with them. I lived in a village upcountry and loved talking with the locals... I found them pleasant and often quite funny.
one local chicken venodr told me that the chicken legs were smaller today. She could either give me 3 for 20 baht or a pair of glasses to make them look bigger.
So, you limit your conversations only to people who you feel are your intellectual and educational equal? Don't want to dirty your feet with commoners annd people with illnesses...
how good is your Thai?
many of us are not isolated - we live in Thailand with Thai people and families... we speak Thai - and have conversations with real and thoughtful and caring people... and we don't discriminate against or dislike people because they may have a disease that we don't... I have a diabetic neighbor who is 45 kilos - - you want to make fun of her too?
