Very sad;  the old gal probably was all out of income options at that age.

 

If it's the option of selling drugs and starving or not being able to get medical care, many go the illegal route.

 

At least in prison, one will get food, possibly medical attention, company and sex!

But not her husband.

Myself born in the U.K. To British parents but have been for a long time a USA citizen, best thing that ever happened to me in my life.

Ah Thailand the international hub of everything under the sun, the third market of the the world, what have they achieved in the world of reality, reputation for the largest brothel in the world, or perhaps the hub of sex, so much blather from these hi so guys they really are a joke,however one must admire their ability at garnering wealth.

I would have a run in the opposite direction as fast as my legs would go.

Lived on the Oregon border with Washington state for many years and was a serious hiker, see a bear cub haul ass asap, actually saw two in Alaska one time think I broke the world record for for the four hundred yard dash.

I really don't think anyone in Thailand gives a damn about Nigerians, I certainly do not, the only Nigerians who are ever in the news are scam artists, had a few dealings with them myself, it was great fun for me stringing them along on a dating web site, there African useage of English language gave them away, plus one guy had his photo on the web site who was actually a US  government spoke person. Who I knew.

I should add they were posing as a female.

Where are you located and where do you shop? Frankly, I only use my cards in supermarkets and restaurants inside malls. Never been charged extra.

 

I live in Korat and prior to that hua hin for six years and prior to that Bkk, we do travel a lot never had a charge from Agoda who I use for hotel bookings, stores such as global or home pro do not charge, I have had four different cars whilst living here Ford Honda, Isuzu Toyota, they all asked 3per cent for credit card use, on any repairs or service also many small hotels I have simply walked into also ask 3 per cent, also any small independent traders in markets or based in such as Tesco or big c , always ask three per cent..

every dealing i have had with the cops they have asked for cash. my property got stolen, they want money to make a report, involved when my friends car got backed into, they want cash to make a report. no wonder the try to get there first, to try to make money from every situation they can. ok thats how they get paid but lets say it as it is.

I had a farang friend in Bangkok married to a Thai lady, she was screwing a guy in the army on the side, she told my girl friend I kept quiet, later my friend for other reasons decided to leave her and asked me to help relocate south of Pattaya,  also to take one of his big TVs  with him which I did, she reported me to the police as having stolen her tv, we came back to Bangkok and her husband my mate sorted it with the cops.

A week later a bomb was tossed through my bedroom window second floor apartment by her boy friend lucky for me we were in Hua Hin for a few days. The cops wanted twenty thousand to go and get him. I told them to F off and moved out the next day. Amazing Thailand

As a foot more my friend did divorce her a few years later so I just heard, myself I cut off contact with both of them plus my girl friend , I should add my apartment then was in Bangkok.

the bomb blew out the sliding doors from my bedroom to a balcony and shredded my bed, had we been in bed at the time I probably would not be writing this now.

If you looked that old at forty one you would probably be a corpse.

No too expensive.

All blather all talk Pattaya is probably the largest brothel in the world, of course this is only my opinion, having been totally around the world a couple of times I do feel qualified to have my opinion, and also after living here for eight years and spending several years winter months in the west living here.

of course I would never question governments statements that people visit Pattaya for the scenery and cultural aspects or question the propaganda TAT put out.

but then again they do confuse me, I wonder why so many girls want to have sex with me every time I visit Pattaya maybe because I am handsome man at seventy four years old (but hell I am also a realist, and do suspect at times they are telling a porker ) life goes on the police have a very rewarding remuneration system so it would seem ,but hey I'm just a dumb farang.

Being home less can happen to anyone, in the USA so many people live by their monthly cheque that losing a job through no fault of their own can put them on the streets in a few weeks, I know I have met them.

myself I moved to the USA from the UK at age of thirty as a green card holder, I saved like crazy until I had enough money stashed to live for a year, I did not buy my  first house until I had enough money stashed to survive and pay the mortgage for two years, stood me in good stead even though I was a high wage earner.

in Thailand the difference of being homeless or not is having a job where you live hand to mouth on a daily basis or being unemployed. Sadly in this country with very little social welfare not all street sleepers are drug addicts or alcoholics, it's simply living in a third world country that denies being third world, I never heard them brag about being the hub of third world for the homeless.

I'm about to get married next month. Since I'm not under illusion, that my wife is special, I'm thinking about protecting myself.

 

I'm about to contact lawyer to write prenup. And so far I came to this:

 

• prenup in both english and thai, so she can't claim she didn't understand it
• statement that we are both debt free
• list of my current assets (2 bank accounts, motorbike, my websites)
• condition, that non of us can borrow sum larger than 1000B without written consent of another one (since we can specify in prenup how finances will be handled during marriage)

 

Do you have any advice? What should I do before marriage or what should I ask lawyer to include into prenup?

Only any agreement or documents written in Thai will be considered in anyThai court.

It is pointless to fight this in a third world country. That being said, I have never been charged extra for using a credit card. Smart business will build that cost into the price anyway. A lot of Thais (at least in Bangkok) use credit cards, so I doubt and major business would stoop this low.

How wrong you are about fifty percent of all my transactions ask for three per cent.

No, of course not! It´s better spending them on reconciliation for the next 20 years.

hey Thai visa .com!!!!!

 

how about adding a "really really likes" button.  I really really like this one!

 

 

I guess maybe cause.... "even" in the USA.... we don't have banks anything like they have because of the money.  and their central bank now holds a nice chunk of just about every stock listed in New York... with dollahs their central bank converted from francs conjured with negative ****nominal**** rates.

that makes it really really hilarious.  and those dollahs are so precious... for a little while longer.  that's the biggest bet we will ever see. 

 

and just maybe why a real Central Bank decided to hold listed equities rather than US Treasuries?

ahem..... Thailand?




  

Lay off the yaba.

I have some sympathy for this guy if he was looking for a Miranda Root Beer. It's gone for good. I have not seen any for a long time. 

 Google should get you to the root of the problem.

Shirtless is very fashionable in Pattaya 

Only for the guys too fat to find a shirt that fits, but truly I love to visit as I feel so slim and of course a Hanson man.

Hard to believe this of our honest democratic neighbours  living in the land of milk and honey.

I must admit I considered changing religion to Buddhism when I read about the rewards. I've always wanted my own private jet.

And collect gold.

He obviously knows where the real money is to be made, three weeks should earn enough to support him with real money until the next school holiday..
