Living in Thailand

[Barney Rubber]

A quick question for anyone here that has married a Thai woman.

After my last divorce (in the States) my attorney told me NOT to get married again without a Pre-Nup! Whether your marriage has been successful or not. Do you think it is better to get married in Thailand with a Pre-Nup or back in the states? If things continue to work out with this Thai woman I am with I might consider marriage in another year but want to take the right road in case things do go bad!

Thanks for your advise/opinions.

... I am not 55 yet(no senior visa) and I do not want to marry a thaigirl, at least not for a long time. What options do I have? ...

Thailand still offers free Tourist visas, so, it might be a temporary solution in your case: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Free-V...e-t343775.html

At certain Thai Consulates or with the Consular Services at certain Thai Embassies, you can get a free double-entry Tourist visa (for instance, at Vientiane, Laos), and with extensions (that you can request at a Thai Immigration Office), it allows you to stay almost 6 months (with two extensions and you will have to cross the border twice in the meanwhile) in the Land of Smiles. You should be allowed to do this more than once, but not indefinitely.

If you want to stay for a longer period (and don't want to marry a Thai girl, etc.), then, you might consider getting an Education visa.

ThaiVisa.com and its forums are probably the best sources for this kind of information.

Posted this before in the general section, but didn't get any response. Maybe some one here can help me.

Hello,

Maybe someone on this forum can enlighten me on this subject;

I am a Swedish citizen, working as an officer on a ship. That means roughly I work for 10 weeks, then I am off 10 weeks. I like to move to Bangkok coming summer, but the new visa rules, makes me question if it is possible or not.

It is my understanding, that when I arrive to Thailand after a working period, I get 30 days "visa on arrival". I can extend this visa 2 times, each time for 2 weeks by making border runs.

But what about after that? I still have 2 weeks to go before I start working again, and one website they said I have to stay out of Thailand for 3 months, after I do the extensions. That will seriously destroy all plans of moving to Thailand.

Many people on this forum seem to live and work in Thailand, so how do you do it? I am not 55 yet(no senior visa) and I do not want to marry a thaigirl, at least not for a long time. What options do I have?

Any response would be greatly appreciated.

See ya around!

Thanks.. tried these but they don't work. I downloaded the 'client', and then clicked to download porns from the pureTnA, but nothing downloads - just sits at zero on 'percent downloaded' on the torrent thingy, and they are 'inactive'.

Try to download one of the top torrents (one of the most active or best seeded torrents): http://www.puretna.com/top_torrents.php

If you still can not download anything, read their FAQ section here: http://www.puretna.com/docs/index.php?pagename=FAQ

You might have to force encryption in your torrent client settings (in µTorrent: Options -> Preferences -> BitTorrent -> Protocol Encryption - Outgoing: FORCED).

If you still cannot download anything, visit the "Help & Support" section in their forums.

It's currently working (I'm downloading one of the top torrent at the moment just to be sure there is not a problem with their tracker), so, the problem is certainly on your side or you've selected torrents that are actually inactive at the moment.

Check pureTnA: http://www.puretna.com/
It's probably the best source for downloading porn movies.

You will need a Bittorrent client (read pureTnA's FAQ section), such as µtorrent: http://www.utorrent.com/ (for instance).

It is blocked in BKK

Maybe too many people jerk off to Youporn and don't finance the MPs and Bars anymore...

Can anyone else confirm if youporn dot com is blocked or not blocked? ...

YouPorn is not blocked from my place in Northeastern Thailand. Maybe it is blocked by certain ISPs, and not by others.

[Opebo]

Can anyone else confirm if youporn dot com is blocked or not blocked? I just opened it from my girlfriend's house not an hour ago but now its blocked from another location. I get the usual Thai phrase you see when sites are blocked:

ขออภัย ทางสำนักงานตำรวจแห่งชาติขอระงับการเชื่อมต่อมาที่เวบไซต์นี้
เนื่องจากมีรูปภาพ หรือข้อความที่ไม่เหมาะสม เช่น ลามกอนาจาร การพนัน

Translated by Google:

Sorry, the National Police have suspended the connection to this web site.
With photos. Or inappropriate messages such raunchy gambling.

So I don't think its just the IP, it seems like the government blocking it. I'm just amazed it would be blocked in the last hour suddenly.

I should've thought it was obvious - a limited budget. I can only afford to get laid about a dozen to 15 times a month.. and there are 30 days.

Some times porn hits the spot.

But there are consequences.

PS - kidding aside - why bother with porn when the real thing is in limitless easy supply?

1. Download and install bitcomet from bitcomet.com ...

BitComet is not a recommended client as it is banned by several major sites.

http://www.puretna.com/docs/index.php/FAQ2#stats3

We ONLY support uTorrent, Azureus/Vuse, BitTornado, & Deluge, many other clients have been known to cause various problems, including but not limited to, bad stats & passkey leaks, such clients have been responsible for many people getting banned.

So, it is better (IMHO) to use a client that won't get you banned from what is probably the best source of porn movies.

No idea how to do that, but thanks for the suggestion.

1. Download and install bitcomet from bitcomet.com (takes 30 seconds)

2. Go to left pane of bitcomet and click on one of the 12 "torrent" sites (eg piratebay, mininova etc - these host movies of all types)

3. Enter a search term in the search pane, just like youtube

4. Use it for good, not for evil (e.g., try: National Geographic salmon migration)

Forget youporn, it's really crap. Why not download the full Torrent movies or episodes in HD? the quality is really good

Living in a middle to large size Isaan city is no 'less modern' than living in an ordinary american city. Sure, that's not like living in Paris or London or New York, but life in Issan cities does not involve any of the conditions you describe. I realize some gentlemen choose to live in the villages, but there is a lot more to Isaan than that.

Thanks for clarifying, I have never been to Issan, no and don't really plan to

Oh, now that that's out of the way, I have a mundane question relating to internet in Thailand:

Why can I view flash movies from some porn web sites successfully, but from the best one (youporn), the video comes out slow and herky-jerky if you see what I mean. Like lots of little pauses. It wasn't this way a few weeks ago, but recently it developed this problem. Do you guys think it is my computer or some aspect about Thai internet?
