Went to Wife's Hometown

Daughter school holiday, so me, wife and daughter went to her hometown together, this time only stay at her home, didn't stay in Bangkok cause scared of the earthquake. Then there was the Air India crash that happened one day before we travel, scary sia, we took the same plane model Boeing 787-8.

Last time I went was back in 2018, 7 years ago, time flies, every time I make this kind of post I get so much older.

This trip I made use of the YouTrip app, very useful, can use in any of the major chains like 7/11, Big C, Lotus, McDonald's, KFC and so on. The rates are actually pretty good, no hidden charges or anything crazy.

Then at her house, overall very chill and relaxing, only problem is a lot of flies and mosquitos, my leg kena bite until quite jialat. Also not quite used to the food there, it's mostly original taste so not much seasoning, but good thing still have 7/11 and Big C so can buy lots of things.

The kids there grew up, the adults there got older, wonder when I will be going next time, thinking of buying a retirement home in my wife's home city.

How to Marry a Thai in Singapore

You should refer to here -  https://www.rom.gov.sg/reg_info/rom_marriage.asp Please spend some time to go through and understand the information on that section (legal provision, other information, filing of notice, solemnization and etc), if your still not sure, feel free to drop a comment here or you can use their FAQ . The ROM website did a really good job of putting together the information that you need in a well-organized manner. I've done it once and I think the guide is very easy to follow. The only hiccup I've had with my marriage is during the  Appointment for verification & Statutory Declaration where both of us were required to read out a wall of text and my wife had difficulty getting past the first few lines and the counter guy got fed up and told my wife to stop.
