If i could piggyback. I have a house in Khon Kaen, moving there next month. The Gf wants to put my name on "the Book" . Told her i didn't care as if she kicks me out ill just go quietly back to Patts. Is there a reason, immigration advantage? that i should pursue this?

Yes thanks firth and Broughton. We know about these things though we didn't live it. And now probably to old and secure to fight back if they emerge again. On his next visit ill take my son to Kanchanaburi. I won't be a tour guide but visiting the Museum and Cemetery ill just let him look and hopefully understand it never ends. Never forget has become a bit trite to the next generation. They will forget but hopefully aware it can happen to them.

Just finished with a TF girl on Diana, looking at my phone to get a Bolt to Naklua but a M/c guy i knew waved, i said sure. Glad i did.

Thanks for the photos. Made the rounds this past weekend and pretty much echo your findings.Drink prices are a bit high, i paid 140 baht for a rum in simple beer bars on Soi Honey and Diana. Bar fined a beer bar girl ,one from Kinks, and used the ST room at TQ twice. Usual prices. Lips,Pandoras and Angels were disappointing but don't take that as a review. We know there could be a completely different vibe in only an hour. Destiny and upstairs at Kinks were our favorites. Taught some girls to play Craps which they really enjoyed though i realized throwing dice with money scattered on the tab

It didn't turn out well, now celebrated on my seawall if at all.

Can confirm this at the Areca. The 2cd girl stayed in the bathroom,waste of 500 baht. I booked a beach road room on Agoda for NYE years ago. It wasn't until i showed up found they charge 500 for the first guest.

AH Teelack i forgot about Marijuana. I smoke and sold in college but now find it noxious. Cigarette smoke is well regulated. Point taken.

Teelack, I'm a former 3 pack a day but not an Evangelist when it comes to smokers next to me. I have to deal with it to catch the bird on the pole and i do. I won't consider spending money in restaurant that allows smoking and wasn't aware they still existed. America went from smoking in hospitals, grocery stores and restaurants to nowhere, not even on the outside grounds and this happened quickly. Though i will agree or perhaps disagree, no matter the aircon or separation if you stay for 2 drinks your clothes reek of smoke. Keep letting them know why you leave Teelack. Im an activist agains

Oh it gets worse. I love strawberries but no luck growing them here. I was searching for a solution and a fellow who had his septic tank pumped asked the driver where the waste goes. Said he goes up north and spreads the raw waste on strawberry farms for fertilizer. More incentive for me to try to raise them in KK when im settled.

My Gf and the agent have been doing it, haven’t been to immigration for years. But with the move upcountry I’ll try the online 90 day report. Do I need to buy a printer?

Being a septic I know my shit and have dipped my stick in some dodgy girls here. Back home I owned a house and the family home had tanks but we also had drainage fields which I didn’t see them install here. Just a large black tank. As I remember it was about 1-2 years between pumping so I’ll give it a year and see what goes. Thanks

Veering way off topic and I’ll indeed get my coat, how often should I have that tank pumped?

Will try some fishing/ crabbing off those rocks.

Sad Rhino, thats just violence . I was in Issan and they were going at it with vigor. But if a motorcycle extended their arm palm down they were not doused. More often the M/C drivers would slow and allow water to be poured. Songkran really means something to the Thais i think.

Exactly my position. To be specific the 800k would cost an additional 4,000 usd in taxes one time as well as the loss of investment income, maybe 2000 usd a year if i guess right. Admittedly i sometimes need to go to Wise but personal choices in women an alcohol.

It’s really shit that everyone on this thread legally qualifies for a visa but we use agents. As Jacko said the agents don’t want to do the income method. The US and UK Embassies are useless. My friend in Bangkok charges upwards to 80k for a visa but those boys are not expats, Perhaps not eligible and I fear may someday bite us. He is offering me a Permanent Resident option but the cost is high. For me when I move to Khon Kaen I may try to go through the hoops for the 65,000 method myself. I’m not putting 80k here though I respect not everyone has a verified US or UK pension.

Good to know, thanks hyku, you mean in front of Dusit? My knees are toast now so not a lot of walking anymore. Am checking with Bumrungrad to see if there’s a solution. But I do Kayak a lot and will head south and take a look. Target rich environment of Toplessness along this stretch of North Beach.

Our ice truck comes down the street every morning. I thought I’ll just buy an ice maker . Looking into it they are complex, prone to needing repairs and will get dirty and difficult to clean. Sometimes the simplest things are best. And the ice guy is nice, stopping to talk. I’m still a bit of farang oddity here .

The family home in Annapolis is paying 3400 baht equivalent/month for internet and TV with less tv than i get here with IPTV.

Force it is high.The data sim sounds nice as im paying 600/month for Dtac in addition to CAT and only use a small amount of the allotted data. When i move to Khon Kaen 3bb hard wire fiber from the street looks to be 700 to 1300 for 1gbps/1gbps. I am a tech idiot and don't know what that means so probably buy more than i need. The IPTV guy is kind and send emails to his clients to clear this ,download that ,correct this.He then sends me a email saying Bill i know you won't do any of this,next time at i'm at Northpoint i'll do it. It appears True is also an option up there so maybe i take so

Cat had fiber wired in the Hallways . Paid a separate fee for a private company to run the line into the condo. Then the CaT techs hooked the box and TV . The guy who installed my IPTV said it was very fast. Reliable and no problem streaming. Cat is 1200/month. I’m looking to get similar in Khon Kaen if anyone has a recommendation. 3BB seems best so far.

Nice contribution, thanks

Your still the tight one, just not an jerk. Best to part company early with these fellows.

Good story Jacko and well on you to intervene. Monkeywatch is always a favorite and appreciated. Sandcastles at the beach.Grew up near the ocean and as a kid a built many short living empires. Jacko i had a similar experience with an acquaintance from home. He is in a heated argument with the 5 baht toilet guy because he only had a large bill at and least the toilet guy told him he didn't have change rather than grabbing the money. The ugly American didnt understand why the fellow didnt just take the loss, it's only 5 baht. I intervened with an apology in Thai and a 100 baht to the Thai.

Looks good, better than And Burger next to Tops? Having Burgers for dinner tonight so might be worth the ride. Across from Park Beach?
