I seem to recall the main Villa on Sukhumvit (near the entrance to Soi 33) sold other, imported brands with applicators.  They were a lot more expensive than OB.

In Topic: Good Travel Insurance Hard To Find

We use World Nomads as they will cover expats that are already outside their own country.  I deal with travel insurers and their emergency cases every day work at and there are some companies I wouldnt touch with a barge pole.  World Nomads has a very good reputation.    

I also liked that they were happy to put into writing that they would evacuate my Thai spouse to Australia if there was a medical emergency, rather than back into the Thai medical system. For many insurers this not the case, they will often only evacuate someone to their country of citizenship.

In Topic: Successful Relationships With Thai Men?

2012-04-28 16:15:38

Married 2.5 years and we left Thailand 6 months ago to live in Australia.  I think our relationship works because we are both happy to try new things.  I was willing to do the village-thing in Thailand, build a house on our land and spend time getting to know my in-laws.  Here in Australia the hubs is studying English full-time and has thrown himself into learning how to function in a new country. We've never had a major fight and I'm sure our flexibility is the main reason.  To be honest, hubby would have been the right man for me, no matter which country he came from. I don't think the fact he's Thai really played into it much.

In Topic: Nong Khai Schools With Native English Speaking Teachers?

2012-03-11 10:33:22

Do you want a school that teaches 100% in English?  What grade levels?  The only real international school is VIS across the border in Vientiane.  Otherwise try St Paul's in Nong Khai, not sure what their English program is like but when we looked at it a couple of years ago it was pretty dismal.  You would need to supplement with some home schooling I imagine.

Is the military pension a life-long thing (sorry I'm not sure how they work).  Or will you need to swap to the Aussie aged pension once you are old enough?  If so you need to be very careful whether you are seen to be permanently living off-shore beforehand.  There is a long thread on ThaiVisa about eligibility and Aussie residency requirements, but you might also want to talk to Centrelink.
