For what it is worth I was told for a US tax deduction a social security number is required.  My wife has no desire to travel to the States and i am very happy here.

If u discover a tax deduction is possible please let me know.

Once again all the best with your plans.

Tree tea oil is very easy to find in Buriram.

Please donot screw around with a infection too long. they can become too bad, too fast.

Looks as if u have been doing home work, i want to start by saying i have lived here for nearly 6 years and will diee here, my wife is Khmer from Issan and is wonderful.  I consider myself to be the luckest man alive, i do love Thailand.

IMHO u are way off, it is possible to live in Thailand on 60 K a month but u will not be happy.  I do not believe that would be an adequate amount for u, a wife, children and to help the parents.

A factor i believe most Forangs overlook is :   An Issan woman marries to improve her live as most women the world over do, u must factor in for her.  Land in the form of rice paddies will not make a profit but women desire it for security.  Gold is extermely important in the Khmer culture.  nice clothing is as important to most as well only many can not afford it.

All too often if the girl can not obtain what she wants from her Forang husband she will find it in another house.  the villages are all having empty homes where a Forang lived.

Life in the boondocks has been great for me.  it is not my intention to say do not live here, i really is much less expensive than the States but it is still expensive than most realize.

Good Luck and enjoy your life.

Do not believe it!.

Call hotmail if you have skype.  PM me if u want the number.

Move on with your life, if u had any property and/or belongs in the villace consider them gone.

If u return i would avoid her village and the places she may have worked just avoid problems, u have nothing legal to worry about
