If you are both westerners, each have to have 800 K in a thai bank account.

We looked for it when we first moved over as it was a medication my husband used - he switched over to the cannabis solution and hasn't looked back.

You can get the oil from a cannabis pharmacy and the gummies almost any pot shop (Bangkok was the only area I found that doesn't seem to have them) I get mine in Hua Hin, so it really depends on where you are. They have different potencies and take about an hour to kick in - usually dose off before that happens but I sleep pretty good using them and they have been a big help for pain management for me as well.

You can get it on iHerb but it is fairly expensive here. Many have switched over to cbd oil or gummies as a cost effective means to manage sleep.

@Mark ********

spot on.

PKK where we are is different. The people here are really genuine and lovely

@Sel ****

that's like believing all men cheat. There are good and bad in every society. The majority of Thai women I have met that I have become friends with are lovely and would never cheat. I reckon it depends on where you look and area.

We live away from it all down in Prachuap Khiri Khan on the beach - minimalistically in a small fishing village north of town. The people here are amazing - no bar scene to speak of, a few farange restaurants - very peaceful living. If i was looking at moving here (did that already) I would come over and travel until I found my happy spot - thats what we did. There are so many places away from the bar scene and you get to see the real Thailand.

Just a western womans view on the Thai differences - Not sure this is the answer you are looking for but just something I have learned since hubby and I moved here. Thai women are different to Western women and thats not a bad thing. You have to look at the culture itself to understand. Many Thai women have families to support so they go about their business making money to send home. Thai pension is around 600 baht a month - thats not enough for the parents to live on so the daughter typically goes out to earn and the parents raise the grandchildren. As much as those that are looking for women whine about supporting families - they forget this about the actual culture. Get away from the bar scene and you may actually meet the right sort but learn about the culture as well to avoid being disappointed. Remember the sons rarely help out parents and it always falls on the daughters of the family.

depending on diet they have a life expectancy of 100 years, and are prone to bonding with humans really tight. One of my favorites 🙂
