I'm not an expert in these matters but sounds like you're fucked and you'll be headed back to the US while you get a new passport. But don't fret, all you've lost is some time and money, everyone is safe and healthy so don't sweat it, count your blessings.

For some girls, impossible. For others no problem at all. It really just depends on if she can demonstrate the things they want to see.

@Michael ******

it's really not though

@Peter *******

this is why googling it yourself is not wise, your answer is wrong in almost everything it said

@Us ****

what i find most amusing is that a guy coming from California talking about a broken political system and corruption. Hysterical

@Us ****

You are certainly the kind of person I hope i never meet here in Thailand.

@Us ****

your experience is completely different than mine. I'm really glad I don't live in your world.

You don't need an agent, the language school will be your agent. Call Duke Language School in Bangkok

@Us ****

why are you here if it's broken? Right cause it's so cheap, but you don't have to worry about money. Right. You seem very immature for your late 30's. Perhaps in time the Thai culture will help you grow up.

@Us ****

Freudian projection is a psychological defense mechanism described by Sigmund Freud, where a person unconsciously attributes their own unacceptable thoughts, feelings, or impulses to another person. This allows them to avoid confronting their own uncomfortable emotions by externalizing them onto others.

It's interesting that you consider my love of this country, my many years of happy life here, my family here, and all the joy this culture has brought to me as an "issue". Meanwhile your experience has been that they only want your money, they will never accept you, and you only live here cause it's cheap.

Seems pretty clear which one of us has an issue.
