I arrive in Jomtien on January 3, having a cigar every day in a nice environment seems great to me. Would you like to hear about the prices of the Cohibas and other Cuban delicacies and where you can find this fun? Because that saves me searching.
I am in transit and want to report my 90 days in Chiangmai. Chiangmai apparently has two immigration offices, one near the airport and one in the Promenade complex. So I go to Promenade. There they casually tell me to fill out a TM30, have it stamped at the airport, then come back.
Thai police say they have almost completed their investigation into the mysterious death of 58-year-old American James Hughes. The man, who was a lecturer at Webster University, was found dead in a hotel room in Hua Hin in early September after he suddenly disappeared in early August.
Sinterklaas could look back on a resounding success in Hua Hin after Saturday evening. More than a hundred parents and more than 30 children came to Say Cheese for the birthday of the good saint. He was accompanied by two real Black Petes and his fungus.
Saturday morning, Sinterklaas arrived on a motorcycle at the Dutch embassy in Bangkok. Around 150 excited children and their parents gave Sinterklaas a warm welcome. He listened to their beautiful songs and enjoyed their great performances.
It took a total of 14 years, but now they have arrived: new city buses for the BMTA, the public transport company in Bangkok.
I want to write something about what I have experienced from there and what I wanted to share with the people who want to come and live here, Thailand, permanently or for the most part. It's about living with a Thai woman and you try to integrate into their way of thinking and they partly accept your way of thinking with a lot of falling, especially a lot of falling, and finally getting up... hopefully it will help someone, I'm not the best writer, but I do my best.
Sporadically I read a reaction here from a Belgian who lives in Spain with his Thai sweetheart. Now my question is whether there are specific conditions for Spain?
Go to Thailand for 5 weeks at the end of December, so visa is required. Now I read on the website lovepattayathailand.com that you do not have to pay a visa fee for stays longer than 30 days in the coming peak season
Concerns year extension extension: must the 'TM 30 notification from for house-master, owner or the possessor of the residence where alien has stayed' form also be completed each time a person applies for a right of residence after a year?
On Friday morning, De Inquisitor stays at home on the advice of sweetheart. It's going to be a tough day, she predicts. We don't go to Poa Deing's house together until around twelve, by car because we have stock. We know that traditionally they will be short of booze and now we don't have to drive back and forth every time a generous guest decides to serve beer or lao kao.
Lung addie was recently invited to a Thai wedding ceremony. The daughter of the poeijaanbaan (mayor) of my village married the son of the poeijaanbaan of another tambon.

Monday 5 December it will be rough and angry in the south of Thailand. Heavy rains and high waves are predicted for this weekend and Monday. These are caused by a powerful low-pressure system over southern Thailand and Malaysia plus the annual northeast monsoon.
According to the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study ranking, Thai schoolchildren do slightly better in math and physics. Unfortunately, it is still not good enough because Thai students still score below the international average.
On 16/11/2016 I went to immigration for my annual renewal, but that was very disappointing. I am 66 and retired and have been living in Thailand for about 11 years for about 8 months. Previously on early retirement from my 55 years. We have been married for 15 years, a Thai lady that is.
When The Inquisitor and wife come home on Wednesday evening around 'si toem', nine o'clock, wife's phone rings. Judging by her facial expression, it's amazing news. Unbelievable, a second death. Distant relative, the father of an uncle.
