There are a group of women from Kumphawapi, using most of the singles sites, I have written to 2 of them and met them, they are out for what they can get, very quickly, if they think you are coming to meet them for a few weeks, when you arrive, you will be asked to dtay in most expensive hotel, buy ...

I have just finished a 14 month relationship with Thai lady, usual reasons, mainly lies and deceipt, however over that 14 months, I have watched her son grow, he first walked to me. Baby to toddler, he is a very bright intelligent kid. I would like to set up a trust account or such, for his future e...

the equipment you buy here is rubbish, I brought my own gear from Aussie, problem is all the fishing is passive, no predators like our barra, in the salt maybe ok, in lakes and streams, worms worms worms, the thais fish with all kinds of bait, everything is netted so the chance of finding catching s...

Everyone tells lies, or half truths, however in a relationship there has to be honesty and truth, it makes for trusting each other under all circumstances. I am in BKK right now because of lies, lies destroy the trust a couple need in each other to make A RELATIONSHIP WORK. To lie to save face, is w...

The land ownership for me is no longer an issue, I am home and will not come back to Thailand, after 2 years in Thailand, and 2 failed relationships it is not for me. My last Thai GF has done her disappearing act for the last time, no contact with her for weeks, no explanations of where, with who or...

Hi to all, I have heard all the horror stories of building on parents or land in GF name, and if relationship goes bad, the guys loosing everything, is it possible to lease land in joint names??, instead of buying land off parents in GFs name, lease the land in joint names, it appears to me as a goo...

Must admit I did initially jump to conclusion, but I think the land is the same, ( over the road from Grandma) is all I have to go on. I can see I am still on a long learning curve, I will try to set a budget, that provides for family, baby, and GF. I pay for our house and expenses, and once the rai...

Ttom, I think you have not read my post correctly, the family are very poor even by Thai standards, I gave and spent on the family and baby well over 5000 baht a month last year between april and october, the GF should have had 70,000 baht in the bank towards the childs future needs, she has 15000 b...

Thanks guys for the advice, much appreciated, there is a final sting in these money issues, last year the GF informed me that her grandma had given her and her brother a block of land each, and we could build a house on it. That convesation was obviously forgotton, as 2 weeks ago, I was informed tha...

I have been in a relationship with Thai Gf for 12 months, during the last year when we visit her parents, usually twice a month,, I always slip Mama 2000 baht. I have just found out, the money I give the Gf each month, 10000 baht, she has been giving most of it to the parents. Her parents are lookin...

I am sitting home in the west trying to make a decision to return to Thai GF or end what I thought was a good relationship, I left thinking my friends in Udon know the truth of my situation, and yes, I would like them to tell me what they know. Thai GF went for holiday mid december, 1 week before I ...

Am planning a short trip to Phayao, any advice on what transport available from Udon, much appreciated, has anyone done trip by car lately, what conditions are the roads. Thanks.

Merry Christmas to all. Just arrived back from Aust, with visa problems sorted out, double entry tourist visa from consul in Adelaide, no problem only took 2 days. Decided that the next thing to get fixed was a major refit of the upper Jaw, yesterday went to recommended dental clinic to get checked ...

Due to do visa run in next 3 days, was going tomorrow, any guesses how long border will be closed. Will martial law effect visa runs, when border open.

Hi , I have read most of the posts on the new visa rules and various visa,s available, I am on a 30 day entry and do the visa run every month. I had some interesting advice involving a motor bike licence, and was told if I was in a Thai family book I could sit for and obtain a bike licence, my quest...
