This poor lady was a personal friend of ours. We went to her funeral and had an opportunity to speak with her family, who revealed full details concerning what went wrong. When choosing a place for treatment, I recommend that everyone stick to the outer edges of CR.

I've been married to a lady from Chiang Rai for over 30 years, and we met in Singapore, at a college adjacent to where I was working. so Just dumb luck in my case as I wasn't expecting to meet anyone in that particular situation. Now, based on what I've observed over the past three decades, If you want to find a "good girl", I must agree with Lacessit that the probability of that in Pattaya is extremely low. However, if you learn some Thai and develop friendships with Thai people, it's almost inevitable that they will start introducing you to potential partners who are the still single daughters of friends and neighbours. This isn't an infallible approach, but you'll get more familiar with a different spectrum within Thai society.

Very happy for you. Enjoy your perfect existence, and good luck.

What "benefits" are you MAGA cult members anticipating? As history instructs, the only people who benefit under authoritarian or fascist regimes are the most wealthy, and yet you persevere in insisting that your MAGA boy will bring shiny and wonderful things to the middle class. Clearly, you are delusional, and about to receive the most shocking lesson of your own life.

It mystifies me that so many seemingly educated and experienced members of this forum appear so in favour of welcoming oligarchy and fascism to the USA. Didn't their parents and grandparents fight against tyranny back in WW 2? How soon they forget....

OK, whatever you say mate. Blame it on the "boarder"... whomever he or she is. 555! I mentioned Trump as both he and Putin use "fear" as a tactic, but perhaps you, or this "boarder" of yours, missed the connection.

I disagree. I've been happily married to my Thai wife for thirty years, and have numerous friends who are enjoying even longer relationships with their Thai spouses. No miracles required.

Putin knows better than anyone that any usage of nukes, tactical or otherwise, will result in Russia being turned into glass. There are several people required to fire nuclear weapons, and I'm confident that one of them will disagree with Putler's insanity if it comes to that...if you disagree, I suggest that you read up on a Russian submarine commander who resisted an order to fire a nuclear weapon during the Cuban missile crisis. Russians, as Sting might phrase it , "love their children too". 's insanity.

So, fascism and autocracy, in your humble estimation, are preferable to representative democracy?? The world has been fed up with most of the policies emanating from the US since 1776, but nobody in their right mind ever said that fascism and autocracy will make these problems easier to manage. Hold on...I guess you must be a Russian bot. Where do you get off saying that America takes an"unfair stance against Russia?" So, not only do you/whatever pronoun you use prefer fascism, you appear to feel that a war criminal is being treated "unfairly". You just can't fix stupid, even if you're just a Russian bot.

So, let me get this straight. You prefer to have a fascist dictator who is a convicted criminal. Ah....seems like a plan.

All of you Trump aficionado's have been chased by wisdom, but you have always managed to stay ahead of it. Why the race isn't already over in favour of Harris is absurd, and is more of a statement about the American people than anything else. Those who would support a convicted felon, a twice impeached former President, an adjudicated rapist, etc etc is well beyond me. He will lose in a landslide, and you will eat crow.

If Democrats are for censorship, what are the Republicans for? I'll wait, but here are a few clues...alternative facts, gerrymandering, authoritarian leadership, destruction of democratic norms, locking up political opponents, denial of climate change, control of women's reproductive rights, ....ad infin.

I just completed this quiz. My Score 30/100 My Time 75 seconds  

Is this what we call the "new" normal? A guy who wants to track all female's menstrual cycles, has a thing for couches and dolphins, and feels that people without children are sociopaths. Try again.

The most surprising thing for me are the obvious differences that exist regarding the socialization of children - my brother in law's two boys have NEVER done five seconds of housework in their lives, and they are adept at watching me, their older uncle, struggle with multiple bags of groceries when I return from a shopping excursion to 'Big C' or 'Tops'. Never have I heard an offer of help, and now accept that as an unfortunate reality of their upbringing. On the other hand, women growing up in Thailand are fully expected to help out in every possible way and are scolded if they refuse. This has created a race of arrogant, lazy, and childish boys and dutiful, but frustrated, young women, who long to break the shackles of their slavish existences. I'm also surprised by how cold it gets up here in the north.

Trump was NOT a successful President for even five seconds. He is a grifter, a convicted felon, a narcissist, a serial adulterer, a psychopath and a convicted rapist, but he was definitely not successful for the US. As a matter of fact, most Presidential historians rate his presidency as the WORST IN US history.

Libs cried “The emp’r has no clothes!” Some sang, “The witch is dead!” But I? I golfed on bravely And I covered up my dread. . They honked their silly, lib’rl horns But here’s what made me gag — The sight of all those Democrats Who waved our country’s flag. .
