Can I order....without cream?
Here's mud in your eye!

Is this the same "boom boom" coffee they sell at the malls? Friends of my wife were trying to get her to buy cases of it. It is like a scam. She would buy the stock off of one person, and then need to find other agents to pawn it off on. I don't know about you, but I laughed my head off. I drink coffee in the morning and do the deed at night. Too much lag time.

Mans best friend, and security. If someone is scoping for houses to break into, and see two large 30kg dogs barking like crazy, they'll probably just move onto the next house.
Man's best friend indeed..
This must be why dogs are so stupid !!
The neighbor left a dog on our front porch long before we signed a lease. At first, i thought, lets get rid of it. The next day he was barking, I opened the door and a big ass snake was climbing the front steps to the house. Next it was a stray cow, then a horse. Then some people picking the leaves of our trees. It was a different bark for each occassion. I am quite amazed of Julie, and I know whats out there at night. Keeping her well fed.

Thai passports cannot be renewed by mail. Applications have to made in person because they take a digital photo and it takes up to 2 months to get them if done outside the country.
Excellent reason to plan ahead. Especially if your passport expires in less than 6 months/or is already expired. Guess it is a trip to the Consulate. But in my country, for an American, we can mail it to the Thai Consulate...at least for a visa. I do not know why Thai's do not have that right....but so be it!

Maybe the dogs are walking the maids......
i wonder what the owner of the dog does with the maid?

Simple matter of contacting the Thai Consulate closest to you. Why guess? I am sure they will ask you to send in what you have and correct the passport issue.

Well at least the mention of safety belts is on the increase, in the article at least a passenger comments on it, which he will probably also do in the Thai language news,
thereby increasing awareness positively, even if only a little bit.
These big VIP buses usually drive very fast.
Before the apologist come in force, we know accidents happen everywhere, but it is clearly very common here.
..crystal
is it company policy to squeeze as many trips out of one bus and driver per shift. that is crystal as well.

of course its possible.
Not if you are 52 and she is 30.
(Really, really not possible if you are fat, bald and an alcoholic)
Sadly, it seems like Mr. FiftyTwo has some learning to do.
I know from my own experience that it is entirely possible and with an even greater age gap!
but rare....

Foolish men love quickly here. The women seem much wiser. My advice, if large amounts of money are required before a woman will consider you, then you are bound for failure. It seems that the best situation is finding a lady who can communicate well, is not in financial distress, is not ashamed to be seen with a foreign man, and is willing to try out a live-in relationship before marriage. I would rather have a lady who is similar to my age and experience, and who shares things in common. If your lady does not communicate (i.e. spends all her time on the internet/cellphone instead of talking with you, then run fast. I have had other relationships that failed, due to the absence of the aforementioned characteristics.
Yes, you can find somebody here who will ..love you. I have. We are very good friends, as well....which made all the difference.
Many may disagree...but if you are looking for opinions...this is mine.

You need to politic this one. They seem to be of a lower class, and on Government Pay. Go to municipal hall for that area with any reputable Thai Businessman/or Land owner. Have them work it out Thai style.....but I would invite the Public Works Chief out for a damn good night....you know..whisky and eats. I do not think they will "resettle" the workers, but they might tone down a bit. We have a similar problem, but not as harsh. People using vacant land for their cows to graze (in the city). I took pictures and my wife called the Municipal Hall. Two of the cutest gals you ever saw came driving up the street in a municipal vehicle... High heels and pink skirts. 10 meters from my kitchen was a pile of cowpies 2 foot deep by 30 foot square. They could not even breathe! They put on masks and those high heels were just clacking away as they ran back to the car. Two days latter, the owner of the cows were shoveling the stuff in bags, which were promptly removed. I paid not a dime. But this is Udon.

Keep in mind...this is not our country and not our customs/religion. Thailand does not need to pander to your vacation schedule. Obviously, a great man died, in their eyes, and they need to do something extraordinary to mark his passing. It is admirable but also a bit "quaint". The world needs more "traditions" and cultural flare. I wish the selfish posters here would just ..<deleted>..if you know what an acronym is.
Laser, sonar, and scuba are acronyms, i.e., words made from the intial letters/parts of other words in a phrase.
<deleted> is not an acronym.
fine... thanks for the education. I will be looking hard for your errors in grammar in the future as well.....
does not change the context in the least, and you are pretty much off topic.

Same requirements for Filipino or Filipina..(in your case). Not hard at all, but just do the requirements. Look at the Immigration Web site in Manila (yes they do but information online for that purpose). Requirements do change periodically, and sometimes it is possible to get pulled aside just before leaving, for additional requirements ($). How do I know.... 18 years in the Philippines, married a Filipina....and have two children there...and one daughter (36yrs old) I brought to the states. There is a class she must attend for a week or so...cannot give you the details, just google it. Affidavits of Support are good, as are proof of where she will be staying. Hey..its the Philippines! They just don't get to leave because they have a passport...too many hands in the pot. Hey, they make good wives...so go ahead and marry her, but she sure is going to be lonely here. I have a friend or brought his filipina girl here (they are married)...the daughter is Filipina but only speaks Thai and English... The mom cannot communicate with anyone..for lack of the Thai language... Her english is ok. She needs to take her daughter to the market and to pay the bills so she can translate. Also, she cannot "Guarantee" stuff like a Thai wife can.... for credit, drivers licenses, even phone company monthly services.

Promises of free taxis and jet ski rides !

Probably forgetting something but still this is far more then I would pay in Sweden (Europe) where health care and school is FREE.
In Sweden the maid would cost u more than your monthly total in thailand.
Agreed, but sex there with the maid is free...isn't it?

Yes...many places are cheaper than America. Also many places are inconvenient, as well. We all live here with our pants down...(no joke)..meaning more precisely that most of us have no emergency plan/government bailout, assistance, rights or privileges. So If it was not cheaper, we would be dam_n foolish to stay. Thats is why, exactly, people pay more in America...however unhappy they are with the present government.
WHO IS
We all live here with our pants down,a bit unrealstic mate.Not one of my friends live how u describe
Obiously not you and your friends....
not unrealistic.
we are not citizens of thailand are we? and how many rights and privileges do you actually get here, that the rest of us are missing out on?
In Thailand.... do we really expect police services?
do we actually own our land (not referring to buildings)
do we expect to pay corruption fees to get simple things done?
do we have the benefit of enforced safety laws for commercial transport
the list goes on....matey...
just a few thoughts

Seems many people on this formal are in some kind of "denial". Of course you do not see the problem if you are not looking. I suppose it would be possible to never encounter this situation and still live here 10 years, it you hole up in some soi in Bangkok, and just do your normal routine. I suggest a better look around, try some of the "back alleyways.... look for some old houses with seedy men out front coaxing you in. Watch young girls from Laos wander out in small groups from time to time to get a load for their cellphone at a nearby 7/11. It is right under your nose..if you care to look. It is nothing I care to see, but having spent 30 years in Asia...(and only a few months of that in the States) you will see/

Pavlov used this same gimick to drive his dog crazy. Bell is noisy. Bell Rings. Food. Salivate. Now salivating even when their is no food, every time I hear that noise.

One definition of a friend: someone who is willing to make a sacrifice that benefits you.

Our bills are paid by my wife only. I have no patience to bother with the running around. I do raise hell if somebody threatens to turn off the internent or the power. A few mistakes have been made, but I am very happy with the arrangement. The only thing I need for myself is some beer money, and about 30,000 for the savings account per month. The rest goes to her. My savings stays in the bank back at the states. She gets everything else...who cares !

I would pay the extra, if they were to pass out free beer coupons for some of the Night Clubs. Perhaps some Club owners would like some free advertising...contact the Airport Administration Office. It's for a good cause.

There are always the Crocodiles at the Crocodile Farm. Of course, they look better when they are moonlighting at the clubs late at night.
Marriage Visa Extension Denied - Even Tough I Met All Requirements

Sorry for the lack of knowlege on my part, concerning your problem. The only thing I was told by my fellow Americans, is that I would only need to get a Statement of Income from the US Embassy stating that I make (80,000) per month. This would be for a retirement visa. I choose not to have a Bank Account here. Yes, I do have supporting evidence (retired military). However, I was told I only need the Statement of Income. I am not sure this is the same for all countries. Am I right...or am I wrong?
