RIP, a sad day for those of us who grew up listening to her music, no hatred, anger, racism or bad language, just good music.

Is this a Western thing, trying to account for war dead decades later? I'm not looking for a "West versus East" debate, just wondering how many other countries go to great lengths to locate and identify their war dead over 40 years later.
The caring countries,like to identify their dead.These soldiers faught for their Country and were Heroes,so why shouldn't the family and friends know what happened to them,its the decent thing to do!

1. People that spell Bhat (as in Thai Bhat) as "Bath". They remind me of the kind of people from the UK that say "five pound" instead of "five pounds". Both of these types of people have idiot eyes.
Do you mean baht?

I came to live in Thailand to keep the wife happy but now I am here I love it!...
I came here to keep the ex-wife in the UK happy.
Now she's happy, I'm happy and the Thai missus is happy

So that's why you're so bitter. Your parents spoilt you too much and you did not have enough character to motivate yourself to get out of that.

We'll have to agree to disagree. There is a time of life for those with enough money where some spending down is the absolute correct thing to do, except in cases of people whose goal in life is leaving money to others.
It's PART of the meaning of life if you have loved ones that you can help when you're dead, especially if you have children late in life that you may not be around to see finish university or get married and so help them with their first car or house deposit.
I agree if you're alone and have nobody to care about when you're dead then spend, spend, spend which is certainly what I would have done if I didn't have a family.

You are a very generous man, buying your wife a house with no strings attached. I prefer to rent.
Shameful post, which reveals more about you than I suspect you intended to reveal despite it being a snide attempt to belittle the OP, who has been married to his wife for 41 years.

. . . . from getting things done our way [building expecially] as we dont now anything.considering what money we plough into the economy to most of thai's we are nothing but what they step on.we love our life here but i fear for the future.this country should be booming with the money it generates,but like the 80's nothing is ploughed back in.and just to finnish do our embassy's ever comment on the way we are treated do they f-ck.
Yet another expat who seems to think Thailand owes him some favours for being here.
Let's dissect these few lines, shall we?
"from getting things done our way". A good starting point. What makes anyone think things here should be done 'our way'. Things are done the Thai way because it's Thailand. Is that so very hard to understand. It might not be the way you want it, it might not be as efficient as you would like, but it's the way it is and it works for them.
Next: the money we plough in. Yes, the old chestnut that because a few thousand westerners decide to grace Thailand with their presence, we are due some kind of royal welcome by way of gratitude. The economic contribution farang expats make to Thailand is neglible.
And as for the country booming, well it is. GDP in Thailand is massively higher in the UK than in pretty much any Anglo-Saxon country right now. Shops are full, cars are being bought, property is being invested in and the Thai Stock Exchange is doing very nicely aslo. Sure, income inequality persists, but it does so in any developing country, and in many advanced countries such as Hong Kong which has the highest level of income inequality anywhere in the world.

My wife received a job teaching pre-school within 1 week of being in my home country and has worked her butt off since then. She mingles with some Thais but we are together 99.9 percent of our free time. She got the job of her own volition, she is a contributer; I have always known what kind of person she is because there is real genuine communication in our relationship, we are around the same age and possess similar levels of education.
Can you say the same about your wife?
Can you say the same about your wife?
My wife has Thai friends, but doesn't see them much. She works 6-7 days a week, saves most of her money for the future, and buys land in Thailand for investment, She doesn't drink or smoke, her only bad habit is a certain clothes shop
and I don't fault her for that. Shes 25 years younger than I am and we have no communication issues what so ever. She is still hot and I love and adore her and she loves me. There are no trust issues, I trust her totally as she does me.It does rankle me that so many people whose taste in women tend to be bar girls as they don't know how, or don't wanna take the time to meet a different class of Thai Lady.
There are many good decent Thai women, don't use a broad brush to paint all with the limited knowledge you have of the total society.
