Bonobojt, dont listen to these old men. A mates brother arrived a few of weeks ago. 25 years old, no degree, and in his words 'enough money for two months'. He's already having the time of his life. He's teaching English online, playing 5-a-side football, getting success on Tinder, and makes the occasional trip to Nana Plaza. 5k is not life changeing money, so use it for an expereince that will stay with you all you life. You've plenty of time to start a career and accumulate wealth. Enjoy your youth. I arrived in Bangkok at 43 (after also being made redundant) and always lament to my friends how great it would have been to live here in my 20's.
That works great if you have nothing to lose and don't plan on returning.
going "home" after 5 years on the lam in your 40-50's your going to get nothing but busy work with that's sort of gap of no work history, even if you have a degree. The older you are the harder it'll be. If you have grey hair you can almost forget trying unless you want to try customer service at Walmart.

A lot of us live in peace and quite you just have to pay for it eg Phanyar resort Sriracha 10 mins from 2 major private hospitals and 10 mins from central shoping 5 mins from the beach we are right next to a top class golf course life could not be better ?
Living next to a golf course with people peering in is not my idea of privacy. Ditto for being near a public pool, or facing an apartment building with windows. I prefer to keep my drapes open day and night.
ome people say well so what if people are looking in. I tell them it's not the looking that's the problem, it's the distraction of attention of me constantly noticing the looking.
So what do u suggest, buying an island?

no I had a bad bicycle fall, landed on a stone/rock road going down hill, landed hard on the left side of Hip/pelvis, then months later had hard sex with a pattaya bar girl 3 times in one night and then my pelvic issues started, and yes I don't have an std. I believe the bike fall done something to my left side of my pelvis and the hard sex marathon was the nail in the coffin .. symptoms have been tingling on my perineum, painful or frequent urination, nerve pain in rectum or penis, muscle entrapment's in rectum, perineum pain, pubic area discomfort etc... luckily its not 24/7 but I haven't felt normal down in my pelvic area in almost 2 years now.
Sounds almost like a pinched nerve. I get st similar during sex sometimes my leg tingles and seized up and I can't move it and my toe curls where the toe ends, it's painful, almost like an electric shock type of paralysis.
Only thing to do is relax and wiggle toes and it subsides, relaxing is the last thing u feel like doing but believe me u learn to do it quickly and we'll...
relax, don't do it, to it, when u wanna cum...

You'll need income ASAP, try Hanoi,teach English school openings all over start at $20 an hour.
if u need Thailand you can do short weekend flights over cheaply
Take it from me, youll need to be super motivated though, there's a reason they can't find people. Thailand is easy like Disneyland in comparison.
try 'tay Ho lake' area for an apt. 300-500 / month gets nice place. Use an agent. Prearrange taxi from the airport so you don't get robbed.

it's usually just enough, unless I need to buy a raincoat

Thats helpful though , if you are wanting to buy a car , then its helpful to get shown cars for sale , by way of adverts.
You get to select from their options and presented choices when buying and don't bother to go view cars on your own. That's the danger.
you become lazy, a sheep, a follower..

One can be around people and not be interacting on a meaningful level. To add more context, what I'm talking about is interaction that is not coerced. There are literally millions of foreigners here at any given time. Look around and give me sense of how many we see interacting with locals.
When you goto lunch, how many mixed tables do you see?
When you go out on the weekends to fancy (or not) places for entertainment, how many do you see?
I've spent time all up and down Ekkamai and Thonglor. Thais and foreigners almost never caught mixing.
Luxury resorts ditto. Was recently at one such resort up in the mountains. Full of well-heeled Thais. To give an idea, bungalows START at 30,000 Thai Baht per NIGHT and go up much higher. Breakfast buffet full of people from all over the world. My mrs and me met 1 couple from Italy, one from Japan who we all had dinner with. The next night we talked with a couple from Xian, China. Great people who have a large investment here in Thailand.
Not a single Thai group that I saw interacted with any of the many foreigners there.
Schools - same. My 2 kids were enrolled in a very famous top 2 uni near Siam. The complaints from the farang parents in our group was the same. The Thai parents always seemed stsndoffish.
It's a well-known phenomenon here.
Hard to have genuine friendships in a classist society where you don't see others as equals. Foreigners don't really fit into the scheme so they are more or less ignored.
Did have a neighbor in chiang mai who would have drinks with a male thai group now and again,
hard to explain but it was clear when I was there that he was always the odd man out and was in the group, but not really "in" the group. If push came to shove the thais were much closer and not likely to stand up for him or me against each other if there was some sort of disagreement.
If you like mixing friendships maybe try someplace like Frisco in the USA although it's not perfect either.

precisely. we plan to call the number on the for sale sign tomorrow to see who owns the land. It could be our landlord as its behind their huge house
Right, the guy has not said why he's sneering at you, could be because you own the land, he's of a higher class thai or he's just feeling cheerful that day
dont blame it on your dog...

You're not Thai, and almost certainly never will be.
What applies to them doesn't apply to you.
Remember this and ignore all their 'cultural' BS, it only applies to Thais and that counts you out.
I respectfully disagree
if you can master 'the sneer' you can move to the top of the Thai pecking order regardless off color or nationality.
no go to it, grasshopper.

It is common courtesy to pick up your dog's poo and as said is law in many countries, like my own - the UK. It isn't hard to do, buy a pack of 100 white plastic 10" x 5" or 12" x 6" tie-handle bags from Big C or Tesco and stick a couple on your pocket when you go out. Simply put your hand in the bag and pick up the poo, turning the bag inside out over it and tie it off.
So simple, hygienic, responsible, you do not come into contact with a bag's contents, and you leave nothing to offend anyone. When you get home chuck it in the bin. What could be easier?
That works if you like the feel of crap in your hand. I don't.

For me it's the lack of privacy.
Everywhere are crowds with people glaring, thin walls, people sitting on the floor right next to you, someone's window right there, nosy neighbors and security guys. Even out in the stix someone's gonna want to be around pestering me...
if your looking for that deserted beach or secluded hut it's gonna take a long time.

Put in freezer or Ice chest

Why is a poorly supported thread from 2007 being highlighted.??
Probably lack of new posts is my guess

Don't see many litter laws around here. Looks like a free crap too me.

So let me get this straight. You're sure immigration there would be perfectly fine with living there permanently and just flying in and out every three months? Seriously?
Nothing's 100% guaranteed anywhere until we replace customs staff with automated tellers (which I'm all for btw).
your always going to get officials interpreting and bending regulations depending on their mood or how you look and present yourself with little recourse.
best we can do is read the regulations and hope you get a kiosk with someone who's following them that day

Western women, even though they disparage Thai women as money grabbers, will first look at how much money a guy has before dating him. Western women are just better able to assess a man's worth than a Thai woman. It is a case of the kettle calling the pot black.
I saw a buffalo out mating and his balls were huge and you could hear the slapping of his huge balls across the field, balls out.

Can you be a man who's hanging with other men, doing things with men in a group and accepting whatever may happen naturally?
Can you truly be with another man without feeling awkward or ashamed?
when you approach and embrace another man who you know and have not seen in a long time do you hold steady and still during the embrace genuinely, or do you "pat" his back quickly out of nervousness and hesitation as so many guys tend to do?

Your posting about buying the house...get over it.

Has nothing to do with your wife or her family!
this is about another man touching you u can't allow that to continue in any case if he don't get the message u gots to stand up for yourself and not blaming your mate or leaving your wife and kid how much power to u intend on giving this jerk it's not your wife's job to call another man off the fear of the almighty thai has come to a head here what would u do if this happened in your home country? Your gonna ask you wife or mother in law to get this guy in line what kind of respect do you think is forthcoming should that occur? ever find st like this happening with your kid or wife which they don't like you best say st and not just ignore it boy...
-
Letting a man touch you like that you gotta draw the line some say ignore it you got to stand up somehow or next time he grabs the d and u find yourself giving up the arse one night after a drunk party once you back down from small things your submissive and you'll give it up when the time comes

I've had Asian dudes do this touchy freely thing. It seems to be a type of male dominance behavior and can be extremely irritating, and the perp can get off on your irritation.
enough analysis, try this next time:
when he touches you reach around and pinch him hard in the back with your thumb and forefinger. Judge his reaction. He's either going to laugh or it's going to bother him, but he's going to back off. If he touches you a second time pinch his cheek on his face like you would a baby but harder. Make it seem like a joke not an attack.
report back here the reaction and I suspect you will have less problems with this guy.
this is primitive stuff I don't want to write a book here, but offer some practical advice.
also, don't form a triangle with your wife and this guy. Just mention it bothers you, that's it.
ive be used this pinching technique with Asians before and they hate it for some reason.

That route seems like a no go in almost all situations in Thailand. I think it has to do with the face and class system in some way.
Not very civilized is it?
