We all have a choice to not be rude and judge people without knowing their situations. We all have a choice to not comment on posts we think are not worth our time rather than making spiteful comments. I’ve lived in a few different countries, expat groups in Thailand have some of the worst behaviors from members. So please don’t make excuses for those rude people. Every time they put down those comments, they are making conscious choices that reflect on their moral values. Those groups are supposed to be about getting help from real people with their real experiences. If you tell newcomers if they don’t want to be bullied, they should google every question that might have been answered many times on here, then exactly what value does your group add? More and more these groups are becoming hate groups where bored people watch trolls pick on new comers and Admin let it happen time after time. For one, there’s absolutely no excuse to bully someone when they post anonymously. Where is the rule that says we MUST know what a stranger looks like on FB before we put down our big egos to help them?

Instead of getting mad at people who make different suggestions, you should add in your post that you are not interested in going to other countries to get them. Those suggestions are actually useful for people who travel around. I’ve also had glasses made in Japan and Taiwan during my travels.

I was told TM 30 doesn’t expire as long as you still live in the same house, we renewed our lease and didn’t need a new TM 30 for the new lease. I went to Japan a few months back, and just went to the immigration office for a new TM 30 after I came back to CM.

Interesting…you are trying to apply for DTV visa to seek treatments for a condition you are currently having and want to also get insurance to pay for it…I highly doubt that would work. Insurance companies have policies to protect themselves from exactly those situations. 🤷🏻‍♀️

What’s the reason your vet wants another round of shots? We moved here with our dog last year, it was easy, we just followed the instructions on Thailand embassy website.

there’s no titer test requirement for entering Thailand with a pet. I did it last year.

Many Asian nationals wait years to just get a tourist visa to visit the West. Welcome to the club.

@Danny ******

you must only stayed in the old town and nimman. One can not just walk to a cafe if you live in a MooBaan.

@Danny ******

plenty of people in their 30s and 40s live outside of the city center when they don’t want to live like a tourist. Myself included, it’s so much more peaceful and beautiful when you get to wake up listening to the birds instead of traffic.

@Danny ******

no one rides bicycles in Chiangmai unless it’s within the moo Baan you live in. It’s dangerous enough to ride motorcycles in Thailand, why would anyone rides bicycles on a major road. It takes 40 minutes driving from Doi Saket to HangDong, one does need transportation living in CM.
