So where did you meet your Thai girlfriend or wife?
Actually, to you it's a contract. To others, it's a commitment that both make. Attraction isn't a choice, but choosing to stay with someone is, and more than half of marriages fail, even though some still stay together for a few reasons. When you're attracted to someone, getting together just happens, because attraction isn't a choice. If you're lucky, that other person , and you, both have each others best interests in mind, and your future plans coincide. For most of us, that doesn't happen. If you go into marriage thinking there has to be a guarantee or warranty, you've already failed, as your partner is a human being and not a toaster. You're both taking a chance, hoping the other is a good partner and one that has your back. Two people from different backgrounds, two different genders, two different childhoods, and hoping there will be a mutual rewarding union, is a huge chance that usually doesn't work out like you thought it would. Both have to work at the marriage all the time, always putting the other first, never abusing or neglecting the other, and understanding that all couples go through sh*t, fight and dislike the other at times. The only thing that keeps it together is that commitment, as a piece of paper, or contract, isn't going to. If both choose not to have children, it's a thousand times easier than with. You can concentrate on each other, as the stress of having children hurts all marriages, but the rewards of raising a child that succeeds is worth it. If you are of the mind that a marriage is some kind of contract, like you do, it's far better not to involve another person in that thinking, especially if they want a relationship that has a chance of lasting. Anyone with money can have a girl living with them tomorrow, but choose a girl that's only looking for a part time thing, money or to be taken care of for awhile, so the other women can find someone who wants something with a future. And of course don't have children if you don't really want them, as there are already way too many fathers in the world today that don't have a hand in raising their own children. It's better to be a dad to a child for 10 years and pass on than absent for the 18 years they live with you. If everyone had a conscience the world would be a much better place, but that'll never happen. -

Economy Thailand’s Wealth Gap Widens: Most Bank Accounts Below 50,000 Baht
This is no surprise. With the average salary at 20 to 30k monthly for skilled workers and only 15 for unskilled how can people save so much. Plus the fact that most Thais are heavily into debt. AI generated In 2024, the average household debt in Thailand reached a record high of 606,378 baht. This is an 8.4% increase from the previous year and the highest level since the survey began in 2009. The survey, conducted by the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce (UTCC), found that nearly all households (99.8%) reported being in debt. The average monthly debt repayment burden is around 16,742 baht per family. -

Thailand Implements Financial Requirements for Tourist Visas in 2025
they wont be asking for your bank account records when you enter anyway. They also will not be directing you to the nearest ATM machine. You must carry cash with you. I am sure the Chinese will be having a lot more fun going through peoples luggage in-flight on the way to Thailand. This makes absolutely no sense to require these things. 20k will not last as long as a 2 month visa. So the riff-raff will enter and the criminals will come still. So why make these changes. Don't you just love this that Thailand offers their GENEROUS policy. Hmph. They want you to come and need tourists to come. Nothing generous about it. -

Asthma prevention puffa.
I got these from the local hospital, if that's any help. I'm up-country not in Pattaya. I suppose you have already tried the big phara out the front of the Bangkok Pattaya Hospital.
