I had an experience yesterday which quite flabbergasted me at the time, but with hindsight shouldn't have, I think. I say "I think" as I would love to hear if members have had similar experiences and/or any informed opinions. I popped into a shop and bought some (home made) yogurt and some Humus which cost, in total, 263 Baht. I gave the nice girls (two of them, both around 25 y/o) three Baht with an obvious flourish, then handed them a 500 Baht note. POW! BAM! KAPLOOEY! It was like I unleashed a flying drop-kick. The two began discussing how much money I should get back (I stayed silent) for a long minute, getting nowhere, then they went into the back to l…

Not sure this is the right section. I'm in the UK, my girlfriend in Thailand wants to improve her English, and I'm fully supportive of that. At the moment, the aim is just to improve her conversational English, rather than reach a specific standard. She signed up, super enthusiastic, to a local language "school", run by an elderly Thai who is multilingual (all Western languages, Russian, Japanese). He's had a stroke or something, and is grubbing out a living tutoring from an office. His course was a 50 hour 25 day challenge sort of thing. I thought this was pretty intensive, along with holding down a job (2 hours in the classroom, and daily homework, and then your da…

For clarification, I am also a US Citizen.

I want to get opinions on how parents with kids in Thailand see the differences you see.... My observation is in Thailand, kids don't seem to have their friends around the house much. When younger they just go to school and then come home and play with their family/relatives When older they will go out with their friends to movies/mall Where as in the US/Canada, if you have kids, their friends are basically your other kids, they are over the house and around so much Also, how is it when you have older kids(late teens/early 20's) when they have boyfriends/girlfriends? My wife, who is a legit crazy person, refuses to…

Is it worth it, in the long run, to give your child US citizenship? So they’ll be both citizens of Thailand and the US Personally I’m not allowed to invest in non-US based entities without having to deal with the IRS. My fear is the my child when she grows up will face the same issues. Also she’ll have to file every year and do the FBAR. Any benefits at all?
