Marrying a Thai Wife: Overrated or Underrated?
Good advice, KhunLA. Also worth mentioning ,and this goes for everyone who enters matrimony here, spend as much as you can afford to lose. -

Should I buy a condo or rent?
You gotta be kidding. More like 15k baht per month to rent a $4 million baht valued property. -

Ex-Thai PM Yingluck to face legal proceedings on return home
She did nothing wrong. You can not blame her for what others did. The rice pledging scheme in theory was sound and good (Remember Joseph and his technicolour coat) it was the dishonesty of those involved. Plus she did the right thing and called an election but the generals wanted control so rounded up the politicians and held them at gun point. They gave themselves powers that any dictator would dream of, rewrote the constitution and arrested anyone who dared question them. Even removing a brase plack that had been in place for decades. Maybe the question should be "Where did the money go from the sale of the rice?" Also, how can generals become billionaires on a very modest salary? -

Marrying a Thai Wife: Overrated or Underrated?
Personal perspective: None... I don't think an educated woman who's open minded is going to suffer the affliction of excessive 'superstitions'... but then there are events just as Loi Krathong and various other Thai and Buddhist traditions that may be included, but the same can be said of our Western traditions... A meeting of cultures not adoption into another. Wife has an unhealthy fear of gecko's and I quite like them - if we find one in our house its quite the scene, I sometimes think she might throw her 25000 baht phone at it rather that let it get as close as 2m from her !!! A couple of situations. Mother In Law came to us with an 'ideal time and date' to place the ring (wedding)... It was about 5am on a Friday morning. I just said no, its not going to happen - the wedding is going to be on Saturday xx when my family are over from the the UK.... MiL came back with... OK 5:47am on Saturday xx... Again, I said no, I will not wake up that early and I don't want my Wife to wake up that early then spend all day and be absolutely exhausted by evening at the wedding party which she is supposed to enjoy. We will do the Ring Ceremony at 5pm, just before the wedding party... She saw another Monk with that Timing and that time as also auspicious !!! Another time - Wife was unwell and looking a little worse. I took her to hospital, her blood tests were not good. It turns out she'd been taking some Chinese medicine her mother had given her !!!... Mother in law got a bo!!ocking not to give my Wife anything... Wife agreed and understood - none of that cr@p again. House warming - I wanted no part of it. Wife did it while I was away from work. We don't have a spirt house - but we have a buddha positioned out of the way that my Wife puts garlands on from time to time. Most 'cultural quirks' are insignificant and nothing worth bothering with... harmless differences in the way things are done. When I do 'stand up' its my way, my Wife understands my logic processes... and if I'm very firm on something, there is a very strong reason and we can discuss it later. I've even said, even if its a a difference between what her parents expect and what I expect, she may not understand it, but I have a reason - I can explain that reason later, and it may not be something that matters now, but it could matter a few years from now. i.e. her parents are welcome any time, but they used to turn up out of the blue (when we were going out for dinner or two a friends place etc)... this would be awkward, as they thought we were rude for leaving, and we had to explain that we had plans already..... sometimes we could not accomodate them.... they finally learned, just talk to us earlier, so a) they don't have a wasted trip across town, or b) we can include them in our plans... So usually we bring them to us to which ever restaurant we are going, or they come over to our friends house with us, and this is the norm as others bring their in-laws over to our house when we are hosting - the parents have become good friends too !!! -

I guess it depends on understanding the value of things in the world 😉 -

Trump and his followers.
Yes, the delegates to the DNC who voted for Harris as nominee. Otherwise, there's no reasoning with a brainwashed liberal. They only understand force and power. Hence, Trump.
