Marriage the best thing that happened to me in my life, what your reasons for choosing dying alone, can we only speculating about. -
Report Pattaya’s Smoking Crackdown: Expats Voice Concerns
sambum replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
Unfortunately, times change, and places change. But look on the positive side - what was it like for you before the purge on smoking? You probably couldn't go and have a meal anywhere without the smell of cigarette smoke pervading the atmosphere? -
What bothers me the most is that you consider yourself normal. Sorry I couldn't resist. Back to your question: What bothers me is the loss of innocent life, the killing of children, Palestinian same as Israeli, who will never have the chance to grow up, fall in love, have a family, watch their kids grow up and cherish all those things that we take for granted. What also bothers me is that so many of us value the lives of one people more than the lives of the other people, accepting them being killed by the tens of thousands feeling no compassion, yet even condemning those speaking out against that onslaught calling them terrorist lovers and tragically not realizing that this is a clear symptom of being brainwashed. It's just devastating.

Getting a Medical Certificate for Cannabis Use in Thailand
short-Timer replied to RSD1's topic in Thailand Cannabis Forum
There are clinics that do it all online with video consultation and postal delivery of documents. Renewals don't require more than sending a LINE message to a clinic and transferring payment. Document will show up in the post 2-3 days later. -
Getting a Medical Certificate for Cannabis Use in Thailand
short-Timer replied to RSD1's topic in Thailand Cannabis Forum
What makes more sense to me is to get the one-year card that you can show at any time, but then only refill the prescription every couple of months (instead of monthly) to save both money and hassle. If anyone ever questions it, you can simply say you do not get a prescription monthly because you still have supply left from before the law changed. -
What Would Make You Leave Thailand, Permanently?

You would have to move to a smaller town, someplace rural, or someplace like Little Rock, or Detroit to find a decent place for $1500 anymore. And the other costs of living are now astronomical. The US is not an option. It represents a very low quality of life, for all who don't own a nice home which is fully paid for. -

Which online companies have really pungent weed.
short-Timer replied to Beardog's topic in Thailand Cannabis Forum
I tried that Khalifa Mint when he had it before sometime late last year. It was an interesting smell. I didn't mind it. Most of his eVap/outdoor grown weed doesn't have much in the way of terpenes, but that strain definitely does. Not very high in THC though, as with all of that semi-outdoor grown stuff. -
Will the Epstein saga tear MAGA apart?
spidermike007 replied to spidermike007's topic in Political Soapbox
Trump appears to be turning on his own supporters, who have the audacity to question Bondi’s handling of this fiasco. He seems to be overwhelmed that this will not just go away. And his nonsense seems to be fueling the fire and discontent on the right. Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this “bull——,” hook, line, and sinker,” Trump wrote Wednesday on his Truth Social site, using an expletive in his post. “They haven’t learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years.” “Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work,” he wrote, “don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore!” In doing so, Mr. Trump turned to an old playbook: attempting to reframe politically unfavorable issues as the work of Democrats and his political opponents. Far-right conspiracy theorist and podcaster Alex Jones called Trump’s handling of the Epstein situation “the biggest train wreck I’ve ever seen.” It’s not in character for you to be acting like this,” he said in a video reacting to Trump on Tuesday evening calling the case boring. “I support you, but we built the movement you rode in on. You’re not the movement. You just surfed in on it.” His problem? That nothing-to-see-here approach doesn’t work for those who’ve learned from him they must not give up until the government’s deepest, darkest secrets are exposed. Last week, the Justice Department and the FBI abruptly walked back the notion there’s an Epstein client list of elites who participated in the wealthy New York financier’s trafficking of underage girls. Trump quickly defended Attorney General Pam Bondi and chided a reporter for daring to ask about the documents. Mr. Trump also claimed that outrage over the Justice Department’s decision to not release additional information and close the investigation was just the latest “scam” cooked up by Democrats. But the discontent over the Trump administration’s handling of the so-called Epstein files has stemmed from the right, and Democrats merely joined the fray after seeing a splintering of Mr. Trump’s MAGA supporters, many of whom feel betrayed. The post also highlights Mr. Trump’s longstanding belief that he can convince his followers of nearly anything without losing their support. “I don’t understand why the Jeffrey Epstein case would be of interest to anybody.” he said. Because you made such a big deal about it during your campaign, you blazing nitwit, that's why. -

I live on the pension in OZ. I pay only 480 AUD per fortnight for a 2-bedroom unit. I lived in Thailand for many years, but moved back some years ago, and had nothing to move back to, but having a ball now. -

You might, but I'm already back in Norway -
The era you are talking about must be the victorian times as my mum who would have been 104 now and my dad 113, they worked all of their lives as did most other couples from their generation and the generations since. Yes, I agree, most of the farang blokes I have come across marry poor Thai women, the reason being they could not get a professional type of Thai so they settle for what they get, and in many cases the woman is with them for their money. Also many of these guys live in Isan and are surrounded by many other poor people, their view of Thailand is biased. I am not a snob and bigot about others, I was merely trying to balance the truth that not all Thais women are poor, there are very many who have made their own way in life, many farangs have never come across such women. I can understand farangs getting upset about the truth I come out with as they are in denial, they have probably already found out why their wife is with them.

If you are listening to music - What's Playing ? (2025)

Most people do not end up in prison! Get a grip if the reality. Most people do not get slapped or fight once in their lifetime. I'm in the other end of the scale, slapped and beaten by my father, fight in the school, worked as a security where I experienced up to 25 verbal conflicts everyday, attatc with or without stab weapons once a month, but still think violence or discipline a child with physical punishment is wrong for most. There is a limit that have to be crossed or just self defense. 14 - 15 year old kid today in some cases stronger and better equipped for a fight than many grown ups, and that is a problem. Not that young boys are strong, but men in general becomes weaker and soft.

Report Kim and Lavrov Unite: North Korea Throws Full Support Behind Russia
freedomnow replied to webfact's topic in World News
So crazy that we still have a proxy war going on between parts of NATO and Russia and North Koreans on the doorstep of Europe. The NK soliders are basically cannon fodder straight out the garrisons. If it goes on will the Russian economy finally collapse ? -
They aren't blacked out on many social media sites including home grown Thai social media sites, and this is where many Thais get their news. My Thai son used to watch mainstream Thai news programs on TV. Then he mentiond how much is poorly, totall inaccurately reported plus it's so biased, plus watch 2 channels re the same story and get a very differet report. He nows scans a small number of social media sites where he's willing to listen to what's been said, but he doesn't rush to believe.

Gotcha ,”Operation take back America”scores big time on a Louisiana Immigration Criminal Enterprise . A group obtained fraudulent U-Visas . The group took money from Illegals ,$5k and than the officials would file papers saying they were crime victims. 1 was a Subway shop owner & 4 police chiefs. -
Parents should prepare children to live in the real world. In the real world if you do something against the law, you will be in prison and then enjoy a good beating. Children who were not beaten do not respect the rules and then life beats them for this many times more than their parents could have done.
