As a white man in a brown country, I haven't yet seen it myself, but the locals tell me about it, more and more. "Don't go alone!" is their most common advice. (I don't.) "Don't go to bars!" (and, by implication, bar areas.) "Be careful, be careful. (Whatever that means.) I don't like this...

Then I apologize to @toums for my assumptions.

Is it really a scam?? Or is it a honey pot being uncovered?? When I read posts here alleging "scam", that's what I wonder. After studying the research methods on Miles Mathis' blog, I'm starting to see honey pots and false flags everywhere. Scam = individual or group of individuals. Honey Pot...

Written like an "armchair expat". Hasn't traveled to the countries ... just sits in front of a computer asking about this law and that regulation. Un-aware that laws and regulation out here are mere words on paper. In the Oriental region of the world, laws and regulations change often. Promises...

I am in Thailand 20 years: This is brilliant advice ! Thank you, @wellington. You certainly understand Oriental thinking.

Location is Bangkok, Thailand. Ah, where did I post it? That's a problem. I do NOT recommend at all, but I posted on Craig's List. In years past, I had good success with Craig's, but NOT recently. The List Police keep taking down my posts for "violations of posting guidelines", but they never...

Agree 100% with @boomy. I have assistant now; middle-age woman, with computer saavy and willingness to learn and willingness to help. BUT ... I think mistake is thinking that "virtual assistant" means hiring virtually, i.e. over the Internet. Nooooo. I hired face-to-face, from an on-line ad I...

Ceylon culture is what? mostly Hindu, or mostly Buddhist? And some Moslem mixed in, or not? So they will NOT have a foundation of careful planning and logical reasoning that we expect and assume in Western and semi-Western countries. When I moved to Thailand, I was not at all prepared for that...

I'm in Thailand 20 years ... I agree with @TheCryptoAnt. Small and personal matters; no one seems to notice or to care. Big amounts likely a different story, but I have no experience. Lawyers mostly worthless; trained only to fill in forms. I don't depend on them for any advice. Lots of...

Topic CLOSED. Since I started this topic, I will close it. No further discussion needed here. Instead, I am submitting a paid ad on a different forum where direct messages are available to everyone. Last edited: Mar 2, 2024

And to be completely honest on my side, if I'd wanted encouragement to do myself, I would have asked for that. What I posted and stated clearly in the title is looking for someone to teach me. A person with experience and patience. And I'm willing to pay. Well, I'm still hoping to find a...

If you are willing to move around, this is a very practical idea. I used to live -- actually live full time -- in an RV motorhome. Many RVers buy "vacation" memberships and then just go from one location to the next, moving every week or every two weeks. Some would buy several memberships in...

Web sites like that one by CakeWallet are exactly the reason I am looking for a teacher. . Thank you @diatessaron. What a great attitude! I want to contact you by "DM" but I don't even know what it means! I thought it was a different term for "private message", but I can't find how to send...

@myshufflemix - Thank you for taking your time to prepare those suggestions. I appreciate it. I really do. However, it is clear to me that it is NOT clear to you that your suggestions are OFF-topic. Feel free to ask me privately, if you have any questions about that.

I have zero experience with crypto along with nearly zero patience in my personality. But I want to start using crypto for payments and remitences, because banks are starting to be a pain in the assets. I thought reading on this forum could help me understand, but no; The level here is far to...

Puzel12 points out a common problem for successful (and intelligent) expats and nomads in Thailand: There aren't many others like you. Some, but very scarce. I have tried many ways to make new friends here, but everywhere I look, not people with whom I want to spend my time. Back home (USA)...

Yes, indeed, they should. But that misses the point. My original post did ask any for discussion of human rights. It asked if I can buy a thread. This thread, so far, is a perfect example why I made the original post. If I were moderating this thread (which I am not) all of the replies so far...

The target is over there ... You are welcome to try again. I know, but I do appreciate your trying.

Thank you, KDX, for a vivid example of the kind of post I would delete.

Neat summary in one sentence. Thank you. Yes. Last edited: Dec 31, 2022
