Are You A Sexpat Or Do You Ride The Backwards Morality Train?
retarius replied to 123Stodg's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Me neither. Care, I mean. If I am banging bar girls that's my business. If I'm not, that's my business as well. Same for you. Who the hell am I to judge you, or you to judge me? -

No. -
Having used both services, I much prefer Amazon. I spend quite a lot of time out of the country and usually save any internet purchases for when I am in a place I can use Amazon. The stuff I have had from Lazada has usually been disappointing.

I dislike this extremely judgemental article by the OP. If people wish to integrate, let them integrate. I don't. If people wish to learn the language, let them try. I did try for the first 6 to 9 months I was here (formal lessons 3 times a week) but cannot communicate effectively outside my household where people don't speak Bangkok Thai, but Isaan language and intonation. People over 50 don't 'pick up' languages very well. If people wish to enjoy what passes for culture here, then bully for them. If they don't, well, equally bully for them. If they have a valid visa to stay here, then they can stay, they can integrate or not, they can learn the language or not, and they can eat Thai food or not. And if they wish to comment on Thai culture or living here then they are entitled to do so and not have someone sneering at them in articles on AN.

The Urgency of Addressing Iran’s Nuclear Threat

Iran is entitled to develop nukes. Why should its mortal enemies be allowed to have them, if they are denied? -
Muay Thai Recognized Globally, Drives Economy
retarius replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Yes, talk about driving the economy, I went to try to get tickets for a live match, but I swear, the tickets cost more than a Taylor Swift concert. They must be making more money than Croesus. -

Shame. Sex toys are harmless and give many adults pleasure. -
Get a Toyota Alphard. Great motor, most comfortable car I have ever had. I always sneered at vans, but would be great with kids and grandparents too, plus easy to get into and out of...lovely upholstery inside. All round great motor.

None of the bar girls I have known will go with Indians, even if they are reputed to suffer from premature ejaculation which the bar girls like. -

Thai Airways soars with ‘plane’-tastic gourmet menus for all classes
retarius replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Perhaps it is good that they are trying to improve. I like caviar but I am not sure about it with Amarone red wine. We all have different experiences but I have not too much good to say about Italian wines (with the exception of Brunello, and local Lambrusco...the Italians tend to keep the best wines in country). But again in my experience red wines and oily fish tastes don't mix well. -

Wrong my friend....when the EU ship goes down, and it will sooner, rather than later, best not be attached to it. We will bless those great souls who voted for Brexit and saved the nation. -
