    And this is in no way unique to Isaan. People die of lightning strikes in many countries every year. Livestock die of even more strikes, and many ranchers have stories of multiple animals in a herd dying to the same strike.

    Right..... to be more accurate, just to be careful in large open space like farms. But just isaan got more farms so look like always happen in there.

  2. My wife's family living in Kantharalak, she told me almost every time when there is thunder storm, lightning killed a few person in the field. When the storm is coming they will all switch off the mobile phone (which may attract the lightning?) and hide in their house. This is what just happened this afternoon in Kantharalak. Hope if you are living in the isaan area beware of it.

  3. By tighten up the visa restrictions and so, Thailand turned back so many better quality tourists from many countries. Then welcome those cheap china tours keep coming in. They messed up every all-you-can-eat buffet restaurants and only know to shop pharmacies. But never spend a buck in a bar.

    Unfortunately, I'm a hk guy, officially part of china. So I'm one of them. I never speak a word or only speak Thai. Everytime I buy food from street vendors I'm nervous about what they think if they know I'm a chinese.

    In Pattaya I walked around Soi Buakaw, even Fri/ Sat night, only a few customers in each bar. Westerners number drops leads to less girls work there, my wife told me many of them go back to village and close the shops. Again, you don't see many chinese tourist around that area.

    My wife runs the english school. I have nothing to do with it, except that we hoped I can be hired without extra hassle. Wether we add an restaurant is completely open, as I pointed out: *I want to run a  martial arts school*, but I guess I wrote that in another threat. Here I only asked: how is the stuff with working for your own wife working.

    A small restaurant is relatively easy to be run by two. Especially if it is attached to the martial arts school and mostly frequented by members of the school after training.

     

    Anyway, I'm surprised about the "know nothing, but be hostile attitude" here.

     

    But: I found it. It is super simple. You need a permanent residency: https://www.legal.co.th/resources/visa-immigration-law/nationality-law/difference-between-thai-permanent-residence-and-citizenship/

     

    Thanx for the help, though.

    Unfortunately, you need WP for 3 years straight and paid tax to prove you been working in Thailand for at least 3 years, then you can apply the PR......

    So, you need to get the WP first...... now the problem comes back to the beginning, lol.

     

    ubonjoe's advise made sense the most and probably the easiest one you can try.
