You might be astounded at how many nurses are overweight. I knew a couple that were actually obese. Must be a tad difficult talking to patients about healthy eating. -

Property Entitlements For A Farang Husband.
And don't trust any 'advice' given by the amphur staff, they are not lawyers and not experts on these matters, but they will tell you they are. One example is getting a will for your Thai your wife. The amphur staff will tell you they know how to do this. But they don't. Example: My Thai nephew decided he wanted to make a will (because my Thai son had just made his will, but Thai son did it with a Thai lawyer we have used before, but not free, 3,000Baht). Nephew was told 'Amphur staff will do it free. So Nephew went to amphur office with his new wife. Nephew had found a template online and I alerted him to the appropriate clauses in the Thai Commercial Code. Nephew had completed the will template. Amphur lady said 'but you have to leave 100,000Baht to your wife's mother'. Nephew was not convinced and contacted his old high school buddy who is now a lawyer. Lawyer said he was not convinced and went with my nephew and wife to the amphur office. Amphur lady insisted have to leave 100,000Baht to your wife's mother' Lawyer asked the Amphur lady: - Are you a qualified lawyer? - Answer NO. - Have you had specific training about writing wills? - NO. - Please show me a Thai Gov't book / instruction / policy / document which states 'have to leave 100,000Baht to your wife's mother'. She couldn't. Supervisor now in the discussion says 'but she's just trying to help'. Lawyer calls another lawyer who confirms there is no such law. Amphur lady now says 'but I think It's a good idea'. Nephew scoops up all the documents and go the his lawyer buddy's office. Lawyer writes the will for free. Lawyer reports the matter to a government department who issue a letter to nephew saying there is no law / policy etc., saying have to leave 100,000Baht to your wife's mother'. A few weeks later they go back to the Amphur office for a completely different matter. Lady who had claimed she knew the law but didn't not to be seen. Amphur boss comes to the counter and says 'don't come here and make trouble, you made my staff member very upset'. But she does help with the new matter at hand. -
