  1. I know one thing for sure. Every year when I submit my extension based on marriage, right their in bold letters it says that I'm only "Visiting my Thai wife." So much for "permanent."
  2. And provide an path for "tax residents" to become Permanent Residents based on their tax status, and to eventually be able to have a path to Citizenship as we are taxed like Thai citizens.
  3. Like just about anything that Disney puts out 'eh?
  4. If they plan on coming after foreigners, then they going to have to rewrite their current tax forms to include exemptions for exempted income listed under under each foreign country's Dual Tax Agreements. I've looked at the tax form and see no such category.
  5. Polls aren't worth looking at. They all are biased. You'll know sometime before January 2025. Until then it's all speculation. Taylor Swift for President 2024
  6. I lived there for three years. Never had a problem, never saw a "no-go zone" that I didn't want to go to. Never really noticed a Japanese presence there tho'. I liked it.
  7. I'm surprised no one in their troupe got mugged.
  8. Me too. Lazy? Check! Entitled? Da*m right! I'm now elderly so I've earned my "entitled" ribbons. And I've got "She Who May Not Be Fooled," in the front seat. The old lady is a compulsive receipt checker and meter watcher. It would be difficult to slip a satang by her in bad faith.
  9. Turn you car back on before leaving and check the gauge. Anyway, I have a second set of eyes. My wife will check the price. I think she is half Thai and half Scotch.
  10. Unless you're deft, you can hear the pump and the fuel entering the tank.
  11. ฿฿฿ TIT ฿฿฿
  12. ฿฿฿ Cha-Ching ฿฿฿
  13. Imho, it's a blessing in disguise. Personally I don't like being led around by my dick. So do tho'. Well - have fun. Much ado about nothing really.
  14. Here you go - nightlife if you can read Thai.
  15. Try a Keto Diet for three months. You probably get the same results. Spend your money on high quality sources of fat and meat.
  16. Be adults - take there electronic devices away from them during school. Eventually the kids will learn other behaviors. Encourage them.
  17. That was stupid beyond belief. Ain't no way you want to ever be in a "he said, she said" situation were you are alone with an underage girl. It could very well be as innocent as just that - a hand hold and a hug after a study session. But alone? Dude was asking for trouble and unfortunately he found it. Sucks to be him. There are enough predatory men around that you have to give the girl the benefit of the doubt and go with her story. "Stupid is as stupid does," as Forrest's mama always said!
  18. Well yeah! Ya didn't know? 😁
  19. The benefits of living alone as an older man You die alone.
  20. Gen-Z. Yeah some. The media back in the US refers to them as "right-wing extremists." What are they really? Kids whose parents still believe in traditional family values. It's something you see more of in rural America and includes many of my family and extended family. They are rock solid people with solid moral values. They just don't buy into the progressive clap-trap. Why should they? Anyway, if these kids weren't around the US military would be having even deeper problems with recruitment than they already do. A lot of kids who go into the military willingly are from rural "fly-over" country in the US. Out where men can be men and gals can be gals. Da*m - I sound like Archie Bunker. Boy, the way Glen Miller played. Songs that made the Hit Parade. Guys like us, we had it made. Those were the days Didn't need no welfare state. Everybody pulled his weight Gee, our old LaSalle ran great. Those were the days And you knew who you were then Girls were girls and men were men. Mister, we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again. People seemed to be content. Fifty dollars paid the rent. Freaks were in a circus tent. Those were the days Take a little Sunday spin, Go to watch the Dodgers win. Have yourself a dandy day That cost you under a fin. Hair was short and skirts were long. Kate Smith really sold a song. I don't know just what went wrong Those Were the Days
  21. The term "Tourist" often means "foreigner." But granted there are Thai domestic tourists. But the same applies: Pull them aside, correct their actions, issue a fine if needed and let it go. Making this a social media freak-show isn't necessary.
  22. Crime Of The Century!!! Did ya ever think that they just didn't know that fishing was illegal? Why club them with social media. Pull them aside, correct their actions, issue a fine if needed and let it go. Instead - FOREIGNERS CAUGHT ILLEGALLY FISHING!!!!! Back to racism. I seriously doubt you'd hear a peep if it was Thais caught fishing in some pond in a national park. Freaking sad, the ethnocentric xenophobia.
  23. So - you get your banks routing number and send that and your bank account number to SSA Manila and request IDD transfer to whatever bank you wish to send it to. Personally I'm not of fan of Bangkok Bank.
