As a Buddhist myself I find this kind of behavior by these monks unskillful and very un Buddhist. Thailand in general seems to have a very warped form of Buddhism that often seems to miss the whole point.

The 5 Precepts exist for a reason.

Haha what do you think?

Stay away from JFK if you can. Logan is a bit better. The plants will definitely be an issue without proper docs. My wife had commercially packaged seeds confiscated on one trip after we declared them.

Can you name a first world country ruled by a military Junta? Coups when the vast majority vote in their government of choice? It's not all about the cosmetics. I almost died in a very nice Thai hospital because they diagnosed valley fever as the flu! Thank goodness I made it back to the states in time before meningitis killed me!

Racism exists and always will. That is their choice to be ignorant. Your choice is how you react to them. Don't allow them to destroy your peace.

There are many 3 year olds who could show you how to change the channel.

I would ask why so many in the west feel they need so much? Why are we so attached to things and have so much fear and anxiety about losing such things? Seems they got it right and we got it wrong.

Whatever age the two involved in the relationship are ok with. It's none of your or our business in any way whatsoever.

Makes no sense. Was your wife making a big face or rolling her eyes at them? That would do it and she's deserve it.

I would never take life event advice from anyone on an anonymous chat board. You are right that Thailand is much more than bar girls and scams. Having worked in Bangkok as an attorney among Thai and international business people for many years I could never relate to the Thailand portrayed by many of the sexpat types on this forum. If you dwell among prostitutes and seedy bars whether in Thailand or your own country then you will of course have a very jaded view of the society. Listen to the losers in your own country talk and they sound the same as the the ones inThailand. I personally have no desire to live in Thailand but it has more to do with the heat than anything else. I've always enjoyed the country and its people and still enjoy our visits.

I have a big family where we live and they all adore my wife. Even my grown daughter from my first marriage who is very protective of me gets along with her great. She was quite concerned at first but over the years she has seen what a great marriage we have and knows her dad is loved and well cared for. If you got family that doesn't appreciate your good wife then that's their problem. What matters is what the two of you have together.

If reading a book on dating hookers is where you're at then you are missing out. Plenty of great girls if you don't come off as a jerk just like anywhere else.

Was never an issue for my wife. She loves to travel and adapted quite well to the U.S. A little touch of homesick at first but even that faded over the years.

It may not be you. My wife will go silent sometimes when she's upset about something. I've learned over the years to just give her space. She eventually lets me know what was on her mind.

Can anyone recommend a nice beachfront hotel that's not too far from Patong but not in the tourist area. Bringing my wife, daughter and son in law for a trip on our next trip over. Budget is about $200 U.S. Per night per room. Thx!

If national security continues to be the issue we Americans care about no liberal will have a chance in the election.

She is a complete and utter joke! A total failure as SOS not to mention she's corrupt and a serial liar!

I don't agree with this as we do have Muslim friends over there we shouldn't alienate. But there are a lot of people here in the U.S. that agree with him.

Yeah that'll happen when you try to kill people

Sweden is on its way to losing its culture!

This is BS

It's stupid

So the problem is that exposing the Government's corruption undermines the Government's propaganda that it's addressing corruption. Only in Thailand!

What a stupid approach to history! What does stability have to do with it? One guess where this nonsense is coming from!
