You mean you pay for her and then have to carry her home???------- she's out dead as soon as she hits the bed------not much of a thrill in that HaHa

Actually I have "carried" my Lao GF home on a couple of occasions. Over the past year or so. All I'll say is it was really worth it... :smile: I mean really!!!

That unfortunately is the thing with bikes Alfredo. We are the vulnerable ones and cars just don't see us.

The great majority of bike accidents are caused by car/van/truck driver error.

Road rash.....ouch!

Yes ouch. ??

Sort Out My Mac Mini..PLEASE.!

leverito · 19 hours ago19 hr

Hello AN family! I'm going to be honest with you — I'm a bit tired and frustrated at this point, so I'm turning to this community with real hope! I have a Mac mini that needs to be properly connected to a monitor, and what sounds like a simple task has turned into quite an adventure. I've already welcomed several "specialists" from Tukom and nearby shops into my home — lovely people, but unfortunately none of them managed to finish the job properly. The monitor works, yes — but the picture qual

Fuel crisis deepens as drivers line up with jerry cans before sunrise

bannork · 9 hours ago9 hr

The fuel crisis deepened as drivers lined up with jerry cans before sunrise in Thailand amid chaos in the Middle East. Footage shows a long queue of motorists waiting to refill vehicles at a station in Songkhla on March 23. One local said: 'I had to wake up at 2 am to place jerry cans in line before the station opened at 6 am because the cans placed at the opening would already be near the hundredth position in the queue.' Authorities reported that shrimp farm owners, sea bass pond operators

When the Iran War Ends What Would Constitute Victory for the US?

Would only the unconditional surrender of the Iranian government qualify? Would survival of the government but surrender of their nuclear stockpile qualify? Would guarantees of freedom for the Iranian people along with the survival of the government qualify? Would freedom for the iranian people and surrender of the nuclear stockpile qualify? Would surivival of the government, no nuclear stockpile and cessation of support for allies outside the country qualify? Obviously, there are other possible

A very expensive ride

bannork · 10 hours ago10 hr

A British tourist says her dream winter escape to Thailand has spiralled into a financial and medical nightmare after a horse riding accident left her with a broken spine — and a £30,000 hospital bill. Joanna Ingram, 57, from Belton, Norfolk, United Kingdom, travelled to Thailand in February with her husband Stuart for a relaxing two-week break. Instead, the trip ended in emergency spinal surgery and a battle with their travel insurer over who will pay the soaring costs. A Holiday Ride That End

Tod Daniels replied to kbb's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

that is ancient information and sadly tens of years out of date ☹️ If you were married to a thai in the US it is now a 3 step process to get the marriage certified in the US so you can even begin the process of translation/certification by the MFA here before you can get the marriage recognized Get the marriage certificate stamped by who ever legalizes stuff in the state you were married in Get that stamped by the Dept of State Get that stamped by the Thai Embassy that controls the state you were married in There are 4 thai consulates in the US; (Chicago, LA, Washington DC and New York) and depending on where you were married you get the stamp from the appropriate embassy

Not talking about the obvious stuff that brings most of us here initially. I mean the longer term decision to actually settle down with a Thai woman specifically. Looking back I think the relationship dynamic played a bigger part in my choice than I ever admitted at the time. The roles are just... clear. He provides, she takes care of the home and family. No blurred lines, no competition for the same space, no ongoing negotiation about who does what and why or whose in charge! That model large

The Cobra · 4 hours ago4 hr

Been thinking about the different types of foreigners who end up living in Thailand long-term. You see the same recognisable patterns over and over: the retiree stretching a pension, the guy who came for a holiday and never left, the English teacher buying time, the businessman in his Bangkok bubble, the digital nomad in a café. Most labels like this feel like they were written about someone else. The retired guy who's genuinely happy and integrated into his community doesn't see himself as the

Do you actually get out and explore Thailand ?

The Cobra · yesterday at 02:55 AM1 day

Do you actually get out and explore Thailand, or just the same general radius of where you live ? Been here long enough to have seen my own province thoroughly, and I've started pushing further out. Thailand rewards you for it if you can be bothered. Two places I can actually vouch for in the Chiang Rai area that most foreigners skip entirely: Phu Chi Fa — about 90km from Chiang Rai city, right on the Laos border at 1,628 metres. Free entry. The sunrise draws crowds of Thais in winter (Nov–Fe
