    In my travels around Thailand, and I have been to most provinces, I have found the roads to be quite good. Sure law enforcement is lacking but for me the most telling contribution to the carnage is the mentality of the road users, they seem to have no concept of self preservation as witnessed by the truly stupid things they do on the roads. Concentration is sorely lacking, and that is the key to survival on Thai roads.

    it is common sense that is lacking in the vast majority of Thai people, and not just on the roads.

    If you PM me the email address the newsletter is sent to I can look in to it for you.

    I am confused, you asked me for the email address that the newsletter is sent to, I gave it to you, then Metisdead deleted it as against forum rules. All I am asking is for the newsletter to get sent to me. Please tell me what the problem is.

    I didn't mean any disrespect to your wife or to appear callous but my wife listens to me and knows the final word is mine.

    Is this not the way it is for most farang men with Thai wives?

    Why should you have the final word on anything? It should be a joint decision, with compromise if necessary on either side.

    Marriage should be an equal partnership.

  5. I have dyed brown hair though my natural colour is now gray. I want it dyed blonde so that when the gray starts to come through, it won't be so noticeable, what I would like to know is, is there any blonde colour I can get that will actually come out blonde over my dyed brown hair? or will I have to have highlights?

    When someone treats me like that, after a while I blame it on him and then I don't give a shit what he thinks. I'm not going to spend the rest of my life kissing someone's ass when he wants to be an a hole.

    What's up with your wife not living with you? Is he controlling that? What's her position on the living situation? Is she also dissing you or siding with her father? That sounds like the more odd part.

    Can you get her, move away some distance, and just have her visit her parents sometimes without you?

    Problems with in-laws are common the world over. He may feel like you outshine him with a better education, more money etc., or he may be afraid of losing position of the leader or whatever. All are issues of face.

    If my wife wouldn't live with me due to her father, she'd soon be an ex, but I don't know the whole situation.

    My wife has a son and they all live near the son's school so she lives there to take care of him and take him to school.

    I have tried to live there at the house with him but there is just not enough room and I need peace and quiet because I work a graveyard shift.

    Move the FIL into the apartment and you move into the house. Leave him by himself for a while......................wink.png

    You can't just move people that easily, and do you think he will move to your apartment? He probably relies on you for his whiskey etc, and what do you think the wife will say if you tell her he has to go?

  7. Dude, are u trolling? LOL

    If my father IL would treat me like that, I would stop the money flow to his rent payments and whiskey. Let's see how he gonna treat me then! Sure he would be more friendly and respectfull to me.

    I would not have started the money flow in the first place except for my wife and kid, and there would certainly be no food or whiskey taken to the house except on special occasions. Give your wife enough money only for your son and yourself, and pay the rent by yourself. If she gives money from you to her father and she runs short, then that's down to her.

    Don't worry about your kid, no mother would let their kid go short.

  8. YES!!! Over the past several years in England the militants etc. have hidden behind the protection of the governments "politically correct" agenda. "Do not say anything to offend them", we are multicultural, why is it though that in their country there is no such thing as multicultural? well, it is too late, they have taken over I am sad to say. sad.png

    p.s. It is a well known fact that by the year 2021 their will be enough muslims in the uk to vote in an islamic government....facepalm.gif

    Current Muslim population of all ages in the UK is around 5%, so how will their be sufficient numbers of eligable Muslim voters by 2021 to vote in an 'Islamic government'.

    It has been estimated Muslims in the UK will grow to approx 10% of the population by 2050.

    Mohammed is now the most common christian name in Britain.

  9. Pretty good, actually. I can't say I disagree with any of those....although the married guys may not agree with number 1.

    I don't agree with number 1, I live with my wife and her two adult kids, her family come in the house from time to time, and my food is never touched, there's never any alcohol as no one drinks, I always eat Farang food and the family only eat Thai food, so my food is always separate, although I do remember a Farang who was always complaining that when his wifes brothers come to his house they always go into his fridge and eat his food and drink his beer.

  10. I think the move to rid yourself of them is move out of Thailand. I guess it depends on your activity level, but I personally just can't be active here. I step outside and I am done, I want to head back in. It is so grimy and disgusting. I hate gyms so that is out. The answer is to just be active, and that is very difficult in thailand for many.

    I'm very active and exercise most days, and not overweight. I have no intention of leaving Thailand, and I'm sorry you feel the way you do, but good luck to you anyway.
