I would hate to be the only white boy standing in that crowd .......... We should mind our own ....

I guess if I had that kind of money Id just put it the wifes name ....... I doubt they would ever find it that way .... Come to think of it DAAAA I might not find it either .....

I know someone is going to say as far as there dollar will flow . Saved you from typing it .... Im just curious I have heard all the way to the sons and daughters of sisters and brothers ? I have tried to explain unlaws to my wife and how us farrang view them , sunk on dead ears .... I have no problem helping mother inlaw and father inlaw IF they need it but,,,,,,, further than that, they are on their own as from my to hand to theirs .... Wifes hands may be different but its not much if any ......

Nothing .......... everyday is Christmas anniversary and birthdays ... Although we will probably go eat somewhere as we do most days

sent you a Private msg

I was told by two of my friends that signed up yesterday that they were told there would be no coverage under this plan for injuries sustained in a motorbike or car accident ... Anyone else heard this ????

Would someone please help me? I'm an Australian and I've been sending 30K baht to a bar girl in Thailand for 3 years now. She swore she loved only me, but recently a picture appeared on her facebook page with another farang. I feel like jumping off a balcony. What can I do?

Sincerely,

Heartbroken.

Make sure you have clean undies on ...... for the pictures !!!

Nothing compares to Thai beef ..... Well maybe an old dried out sweat sock

Been here three years . Never been hit up for tea money . Got stopped expired registration office wrote me took my dl I paid 500 baht at the police station got my dl back. When getting my yellow book after all was done I gave the official 500 baht . I got a very funny look from him like whats this for . I replied thank you for you .. Some fruit to the lady at the counter that helped us as well .. Im sure there are a lot of stories , but you cant judge everyone in Thailand as excepting tea money ... Its a different culture here and so many things have been expectable over the years . Live and learn ,, when in Rome do as the Romans hahahaha

Mine had 13,000 k when I got it three years ago has over 40,000 now oil every 3 k airfilter and spark plus about every 10k tires well you know how that works ... Still runs strong and probably will for as long as I am able to ride it ............

If it's an HP Pavillon, it's most probably the Video Chip, HP Chiang Mai was asking 8K to fix it and weeks, got mine fixed in Pantip within 2 days for 1.5.

First floor near the escalator, parking side.

Dropped it off there today Thanks ... he s gone up 300 baht but I don't care

Well of the six replys that were all helpful .... Called Nick to fix my pc at home . Then took my lap top to pantip ..... Thanks folks .... All replys were pertinent !

I agree ideally you need to expect to pay more than 6000 a month for anything fit to live in even a decent ways from the city ... You might look long and hard to find something ...

I have heard that because the American embassies will issue the affidavit without proof, that sometimes Thai immigration requires proof. Is that true?

If so and you are in Thailand and your bank(s) are in the US, what proof do you need? Are statement printouts from your computer sufficient, or do you need a letter from your US bank and statement copies?

Thanks

This has been true for me for the last two years . I have had to have the income letter and they now request a letter from my pension company as well . This is on a ext based on marrage

I ran into the same problem . I needed a affidavit letter prior to the 7th of DEc everything was booked solid. I emailed them and they got me right in . I have found them to be very helpful . But if you dont ask you wont get ...

I made the move at 55 retired early sold everything and left . Everyone knew my plans and said " You ll never do it . Son pictched a fit , ex wife tried all kinds of crazy crap ... Within 60 days I sold all my houses and property what I didnt sell Good Will got . 15 days before my retirement date I landed in Bangkok . My Thai wife my dog and four suit cases and a pocket full of money . Will I ever go back for a visit ??? Not sure ... Do I miss the USA ...... NO ... Do I wish I brought more than four suit cases YES ....

I was sitting at Thape Gate one afternoon . Four Chinese teen agers had all rented bikes . Well three could ride them and they were trying to teach the fourth one how to balence a bike . It was so funny . He would go three or four feet then crash ...... I will agree on a motor bike they are dnagerous they will stop anywhere .......

Thanks, Khun Jean, this sounds reasonable!

We advertise ourselves and never requested the help of a broker. They just call and ask if they may help to find a buyer.

Just wonder how they can get any money at all. Should be impossible without a real contract. Maybe the buyer does have a contract and tries to bypass the broker fee now. As a result, the broker is asking us to pay the 3%. Just guessing.

Once the contact between buyer and seller is established, there should not be any way for him to enforce his fees, unless the buyer really signed a contract.

My wife does this as well in her spare time . If she sees a house offered for sale by the owner she will ask them if they would like her to show or list the house. If they say yes she then asks them if they are willing to pay the 3% if she finds a buyer if they say yes she will list the house and show it . If no then she will do nothing .

She did have on situation where she had a lady come from Sweden to look at one of her lots. While we were driving her around she saw a moo baan with lots she liked . My wife brought her into the office of the moo baan found the lots listed took her and showed them . The lady ened up buying two lots over 2 million baht . Moo baan gave my wife a whooping 5000 baht ... The lady was nice though and made sure she covered her gas money ....

No contract not even a verbal aggreement so was not much to complain about ... Live and learn

As far as by passing the broker I assure you if they buy the property the broker will expect 3% ,, I would make it clear up front who is going to pay it and get it in writing . It could keep you out of court or your land being tied up in a civil issue that could take months to sort out in court ...

I read it but really wasnt impressed that much . Sure you can get jammed up here if your not about your whitts and think with you smaller brain . I really think its all about how gullable you are as to how bad you can be taken and ripped off . Some guys dont care ,,, Oh well

I ve ate at the Geko several times always had a great meal . Service is always good . I dont care about the specials I just want good food . Never been disapointed . Sausage Kings good as well can say the same , as well as The Dukes Riverside . The Hideaway is also good. You can but about any type of cheese you like there ... Mad Dogs is ok too I just prefer these three ....

Sorry but the only good snakes I have ever seen were in the middle of the road and had numerous tire tracks across it ! Good snake dead snake !

with what my wife cleans the floor in the bathroom ate the material in the gap between the ceramic.

The home maid before could even clean out the teflon from the pans.

I was forever having to re-grout the bathroom floor tiles. As a result, my wife is now banned from cleaning the main bathroom and I do it myself. It used to be: Pour on Vixol or some other equivalent, close the doors and leave for half an hour or more. Open the doors and then spray the floor once all the vapour had dissipated.

Thats funny I had to do the same thing my wife used that duck cleaner just eats grout and gets the dirt out . I ve banned it from the house !!!
