Yes, and don't mind the temperature up into the low 40's haha. Those beautiful mountains are also on fire a lot, no wildlife, and full of plastic and building dumped waste.

Well...... The American trans woman looks very good for 64 years old.....better than most of the 60 years plus farang women and men I see here in Thailand., I say good luck to them and I hope they will be happy together. I don't see any need for all the stupid negative comments and ridiculing them. Live and let live. They are lucky to have found someone to love and share their life with. That's not easy these days.

Yes. That would be amazing wouldn't it? We had plans to retire to France. Had been saving up and looking at properties. Can't do it now. Stuck here in thailand or go back to UK are our only realistic options.

No. Its def not clover.

What? You are the close mined one as you can't entertain the idea of no life after death. I have no fear of the afterlife... There is none. What do you fear about death being the end and no afterlife?

Why? It places greater importance on life, and as we only have one we make the most of it and try to enjoy it as much as we can. We also appreciate people more as we know we will never see them again once their die. We are also more genuine, if we help or be kind to people it is for the real reason, not because we want to convert people to our particular religion. I think it's sadder to deprive yourself of nice things because a religion says they are sins...and waste time on a religious place or doing religions stuff. Also not being emotionally mature enough to accept dead is dead. It's not a magical fairytale cloud land where billions of dead people live in eternal bliss and we can see our dead relatives or pets.

Emm... Your body is you...... Once your brain is gone / dead, so are your thoughts and personality. Just look at what happens to people who had bad strokes or brsi. Injuries... Their personality changes. 'You' is just how your brain is wired over the years you have lived.... Moulded by experiences and social interactions... And some genetic influence..

Go to any funeral and you can see what happens to you when you die.. You are in a coffin, then usually burnt to ashes.

Don't hold your breath. They have been dragging out this same sex marriage bill for years already.

When we moved here 17 years ago, we though it was best to rehome our jack Russel terrier rather than put him through the stress of travel and the change in climate. He also liked to escape and run away a lot.ans we were sure he would kill neighbours chicken. I regret that decision to this day, and swore I would not ever leave a pet dog behind again.

Thank you. That is very helpful. I will look up that organisation. So far they are chipped, vaccinated against rabies and the vet is ready to send the blood test off to rabies test place in Bangkok.

My advice is never to buy snacks from those places. There is nothing healthy there, and it's all wrapped in plastic. Try some of the snacks off the market outside. They have all sorts. Get some chopped fruit or bbq eggs on a stick, steamed monkey nuts etc. The steamed sweet potatoes mixed colours are delicious when still warm.

Does anyone have experience or know of a good company / website that can tell me what is needed to take dogs to the UK from Thailand? I have 2 small dogs and we are relocating back to the UK to live, and want to take the dogs baxk with us as we have had them for many years and are very attached to them. I found UK government website about the proces, but it's so complicated and I can't get my head around it lol. I just need a clear, concise list of the steps I need to complete. Also need to know if any companies can help organise the travel, such as which airline to use etc. Thanks in advance.

That sounds like a threat. You are saying people are justified to deliberately make trouble if a minority group has a public party or celebration. Yes. They are funny..well some of them. Have you ever been to see one? I don't think you understand what drag queen shows are. You might be confusing them with a kinky sex show? Haha..what? LGBT people do these things as a fun party, so people can have a good time and celebrate their community and culture...as well has providing support to people. You clearly are not gay. Many countries ban gay marriage, others imprison gays, and some kill them. Even in more progressive countries LGBQ people are often bullied, discriminated against or even attacked. Being homosexual or bi etc is not a 'kink', anymore than being straight is. No one is forcing you to celebrate it. You do not have to go. Like if I have a birthday party you do not need to come. How about you take you own advice and try to live in harmony together....by letting a minority group have a parade and party?

Indeed. It's so pathetic that the same old handful of bigoted, homophobic, posters (we all know who they are) pop up on every single LGBQ+ thread to spew out the same tired idiotic and hurtful comments. They don't realise how stupid and sad they sound. I have no idea why they are not banned for their nasty small minded remarks, as they could be very hurtful to younger people who are struggling with their gender or sexualality and reading these threads for information or advice. Do us all a favour you lot, and stay off these threads. People have answered your dumb questions many times before, and read your repetitive, predictable opinions of these matters, so no need to make any more comments.

We paid for it with money from UK and got all the transfer forms as proof money was from overseas. Paid in full over several installments over one year. Had lawyer look over all the documentation and assure us contracts etc were all legit and clear. After final payment we got a copy of shanote was told condo company was going to land office to get blue book for us. Was given a swipe card key to get into condo. That's when it all went wrong and we never got the blue book. Kept giving excuses as the delays such as land office busy, they are doing the condos in batches, etc. Then finally got photo copy of blue book. But then covid happened and company was going under. The hotel chain that was part owner of the condo / hotel complex pulled out. Then new company took over. Our lawyer involved again to find out what going on. Got a deal with new owners of the building to buy back our condo off us. Advised to agree as money from previous company gone and this was our only chance to get anything back. New company started to pay us back monthly but then stopped. Excuses.. Low season, flooding, staff off sick with covid. Etc etc. Now no further payments to us. They don't reply to calls or emails. Sent letter from layers saying we taking legal action. One more payment after that, then again all stopped. So we have only documents to say we paid for the condo. A copy of shanote and copy of a random blue book cover. We know they are letting out our room. We even had bought the furniture. It's so annoying. We went down to Phuket a few times. Everyone does a runner. Excuses. Manager not it, gone away to meeting, call back, they will call us back, closed etc. Becasue the key is a card they changed it so we can't get into the room. There was actually a Chinese family on hikdiay in it when we went! It's been so stressful and upsetting. I don't trust the lawyer to not just keep leading is along to get more money off us, all the while knowing we have no chance to win any case. This has been going on several years now,

It's the luck of the draw. We bought 2 condos. One in no problems at all and we are very happy with it. The other... we have been conned similar to the man in the OP. We now have a hotel renting out our condo and taking all the money whike we have no access to it and no title deeds. These con people are very clever...that is how they can do these things. It's easy to make comments when you have no personal experience. And yes, we even had a lawyer look over everything and all the contracts signed... Makes no difference. Very stressful and depressing. The lawyers and the con artists have ways to drag it out for ever.. All the time making money out of us. Now we are going to just walk away.

I had no covid vaccinations or boosters...and I don't wear a mask (only did so when it was compulsory when it started). I have never had covid.

Was this a Thai government institution or some overseas owned Christian foundation thing, or something else?

Yes. If I were you I would not waste your time replying to this person. ????

Yeh. When my dogs killed the neighbours kittens I also told them this is just what dogs do. I told them to keep their cats in their own house if they cared about them so much and don't let them get into our property. I am sure you would agree too if my dogs got your cat. Oh. BTW, cats are one of the worst invasive species and are responsible for many native small animal soecies going extinct or endangered. But, hey, I guess that just what cats do right, and cat owners should not worry about it.

That is an idiotic and cruel thing to do... I hope you are joking and have not done this. Other birds can eat the poisoned food and also die. The dead bodies of the pigeons and birds will be eaten by other wild animals and maybe people pet cats and dogs. My dog died after eating a poisoned bird thar died in our garden. Please do not use this method to get rid of pigeons.

No not really. I am allergic to bee stings...they can kill me if I don't get treatment quickly. Yet me and others with the same problem are not telling bee keepers to not their bees out of their hives. We are not going around wearing bee keeping suits or double suiting. And we are not making out bee keepers or people who grow flowers are selfish for not considering us vulnerable people.

That's life. Sorry for the weak fragile and sick people, but they should take care of themselves and stay away from infections or dangers They need to stop being selfish, thinking they have the right to force normal healthy people to alter their behaviour and inconvience their lives. If someone is so sick they will die or become seriously ill from theses now weak strains of covid, they need to stay in isolation, as they could just as easily die from the common cold, food poisoning, pollution, bacterial infection or air pollution. They need to take responsibity for their own health and stop acting entitled or special. They are just being silly now if they are double masking and trying to get others to keep wearing masks.

Well, now you don't like it in your home country or Thailand...so i guess you will be happy to go live in Myanmar as you like the sort of people that run that country.
