@Craig ******

just curious... A marriage certificate is proof that you married someone and a divorce certificate proves that a marriage has ended, but how can a piece of paper prove that one is 'still' married? I'm aware that IO's do house visits to check that a couple still live together, supposedly, but I don't know where this piece of paper fits in (knowledge for the future for me),

ohh, we've got a smart a*s response eh? What

@Ron *******

said about different types of "Wai" seemed to me like something that perhaps only those with considerable experience in Thailand would be familiar with, so I asked him,not thinking that Google would have that depth of information about the "Wai"!

A word of caution: karma can be a b*tch too

@Ron *******

ok, I'll try and research it. It looked like something that Google wouldn't have information on, that's why I asked you, as you seemed to know something that I hadn't heard mention of before. I appreciate you "humbly" suggesting searching Google and not being a smart a*s like

@Sam *******

read your own post that you put out there originally...you never asked about travel insurance. In your original post, it seemed (not only to me) that you have little or no experience with Thailand and were asking for general advice. If you follow my comment up to where this thought started (up the chain, so to speak), I was just adding some thoughts to what others had said previously. If the advice isn't what you're looking for, ignore it and perhaps be more specific in what advice you want in future.

yeh, a bit like typing responses in a smartphone... All looks good until after hitting 'send', then you realised that 'autocorect' had different ideas 🙄😂

@Sam *******

what William said has happened a lot when foreign guys go looking for love in Bars etc., where there's plenty of young Thai women eager to find a foreign partner. If you're in tourist Bar/nightclub areas there's no shortage of young women 'throwing themselves' at you & the majority might 'give themselves to you', but with the goal of you providing for them and their families. Away from these areas, there's definitely some very nice women who can make lovely wives, very caring and loyal.

@Ron *******

isn't there a big import duty? Or do they have the duty free allowance of a certain amount? I'm not really a drinker, so I'm not familiar, but might think about it as a gift next time I'm there

@Ron *******

"learn the different meanings relative to how high your Wai is"? Please enlighten us, or me at least 🙏🙏🙏

I thought raincoats should be carried at all times... at least in places like Pattaya, Phuket and around Nana Plaza, Soi Cowboy etc 🤣🤣🤣

it's not visa on arrival for USA citizens either. It's Visa Exempt, no visa required
