Will they also make a crackdown on their own resorts in natural parks in the province of Sangkla Buri, where civil servants of their own ministery of natural resources can stay for free.

Why did you not made your 90 day's in Krabi, 90 day's reporting you can do in any Immigration office same go's for an re-entry permit.

And as many stated before me, you are ripped of.

I moved to Thailand when I retired  I was married with for 33 years with a wonderfull Sino/Thai lady, we did not have children of our own, may wife had 3 before we married, They all stayed in Thailand and finished their education here. All of them have University degrees an a good job.
My wife passed away only 4 months after we moved to Thailand. Not to long after that I had my first Thai girlfriend. Wonderful lady and an verry successful businesswoman,(Sino/Thai) but things didn't work out, no one to blame. After that I really tried to enjoyed my freedom, had a lot of flings with many different women, all career-women (all Sino/Thai) between 40 an 46(hey I'm over 60). After a while I realised that this was not really fulfilling.
So I met my present girlfriend (Sino/Thai) career-woman(44 at the time) never married and no children, at first we spend the weekends together, later she moved in . Now after a 2 year relationship we decide to get married this year.
We just want to be happy together, that's all. I become 64 this year and my future wife 47.  And it may surprise you, my deceased wife children and family still regard me as family, and my future wife is 100 % accepted by them as a full member  of their family. Needles to say,  I never been happier in my life.

Why I always had have  relationships with Sino/Thai ladies, well simply, its  seems I feel the most comfortable with them, and being married for 33 years with one,  maybe its because there is no culture gap.

PS: I live in BKK and in my 37 years LOS experience I never went to Pattaya, Patpong, Nana or soi Cowboy. maybe that's why I don't know that waterbuffalo's can get sick, or grandma or grandpa needs urgent surgery.55555

In Topic: English Language Arrogance

Isn't strange that at the moment the Americans fought their war of independence the language spoken at the English royal court was..... German, this only changed when Queen Victoria was at the age of 3 forbidden to speak German, she could  still read en write it but not allowed to speak it. But she was all her youth surrounded by Native German speakers. That's why the rumour go's that her English language skills were far from perfect.

Wen she married prince Albert at the age of 18, the German language was used again in the family, she spoke also German with her Children. The use of German language in the royal family  was going on till Georges V. Its also then that they changed their German family name name into Windsor. Because they Hitler came to power and it would have harmed their PR to keep it.

BTW English has not yet replaced French as the lingua franca  in diplomacy, and this is absolutely so in Europe.

Ofcourse this is allPosted Image

On top of that English is the common denominator language in the tourist trade in Thailand, surely it is essential to speak the customers language in this important industry?



Not for long, in Pats its start to be RussianPosted Image
