    Thailand is such a great place to live, full of friendly, vibrant people always willing to lend a helping hand. The junta are great guys too, always conjuring up new policies to help us foreigners out

  • So you’re own attention seeking  “goodbye” flopped so you thought you would come and try and piss on someone else’s positive story.  How very adult. 

  • I really, really don't understand what the problem is with 90 day reporting. Every three months I get to visit Sri Racha, spend maximum 5 minutes at Immigration, say hello to the ladies there and grab

In the UK they're known as slapheads. Thailand is awash with them. A breed best avoided after dark.

There are some very fit guys out there that are in their mid to late 60's that might be able to marry a much younger woman without the direct stigma, but not so for a fat balding out of shape guy that seems to be the norm. A friend of mine has told me in Laos there is an actual formula (for natives and foreigners alike)  with acceptable ranges of age for the bride and groom. So you could just look it up.

only weak people care about stigma or a Lao formula of acceptable age ranges. strong characters (like me) marry young girls age 28! but nobody needs to know that this was nearly 40 years ago and that we are still happily married. :laugh:

My wife was 25 years old when we got married, but that was 26 years ago and we are still going strong. I was 30 years old at the time.

I love my son dearly. but he is not getting a penny of "inheritance" from me. Raised him in a nice home for 18 years, and paid for five years of college. He now has to go out and make his life on his own in the land or opportunity (USA).

Up to the individual of course and many agree with you.  My kids don't expect anything from me. I have supported then through their lives and they are all doing very well on their own, but it makes me feel better to know that I will be leaving them something.
