Stay away from all of the overcrowded tourist traps a.k.a. Hua Hin, Pattaya etc. Instead head to Rayong province. There you will find one of the top beaches in Thailand, Mae Phim. During the weekdays the beach is empty you can walk for 1000 yards without seeing anyone.

This is true but you cannot use Medicare in Thailand so it's a moot point.

Yeah I know very different than a university degree in the US. If this is what the universities in Thailand turn out I can imagine how bad the primary schools must be. Lol

@Geir *******

Thanks for the feedback. My wife does have a university degree but the stubborn part is a born in Thai trait.

This topic just came up with my wife & I. In the US I would never buy a new car due to the huge depreciation as soon as you drive it off the lot. Now again this is the US. My Thai wife swears by not ever buying a used car in Thailand. I just cannot fathom spending so much more on a new car (even higher than US prices for same car) just to drive it back & forth around town. Thoughts?

Hi Sunny I just sent you a PM about this. Thanks

Contact John Lim he is highly recommended.

This is why you shouldn't panic & get baht at the airport.

Not as long as you send her as excess baggage you should be fine. She on the other hand might not be too happy. But hey welcome to the Land of Smiles.
