I was sweet on a coyote dancer at my nearest chrome pole palace. no intention of taking things further for obvious reasons but I did enjoy spending time with her. until ... I was admiring her new fake YSL handbag and found out she doesn't know who Yves Saint Laurent was! ????

Your wife doesn't respetc you. Get a new one that does ????

Yes, you can leave via the land border at Nong Khai, UJ confirmed this. Well it's really a river border but let's not quibble ???? Friendship Bridge I at NK is one of the 6 checkpoints where you can use a Lao e-visa should you wish to save a page in your passport. https://laoevisa.gov.la/info ps. don't ask me how many boxes of Beerlao you can smuggle back across the bridge, I'm Bangkok based and haven't set foot in the outback for a very long time. pps. Vientiane is a nice little town. Maybe take the GF for a couple days vacay. Propose to her on the banks of the mighty Kong River! ????

enlightenment can be achieved in many ways grasshopper ????

Why not the good old go-to Allopurinol, which is what I use to keep the disease of Kings at bay? Does it not work for you?

He's already seen!l a quack, he went to the blimmin' hospital. Sheryl is a nurse I believe, with many years experience and has a stellar reputation on this forum. It is as simple as that!

Because they have a serious problem with alcohol. That's why I do it ???? ps. I'm being serious despite what the emoji might imply.

there's Sweet Fanny Adams that you can do about the maskless farang hordes so just relax and enjoy your life instead of getting embarrassed on their behalf.

You can't see it because it's not there! You have to refer to DanaDeLuxe's post and then Google. I'm pretty sure that this is the YouTube channel they were referring to ... https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCOpGOKYXoEFU47XwDzpjOXQ Check out the long podcast "This World is Not Real". I dunno, maybe the guy's onto something ????

well when you've got a 300 pound offensive lineman coming at you at lightning speed with the intention of burying you (literally not figuratively) then you need all the big ol' padding you can get your hands on. Google Reggie White if you don't believe me.

I've personally experienced it and on my first ever conversion/extension to boot. "Immigration busy because many holidays" was the reason. PP out of my hands for approx. 3 weeks. No stress for me because I used the well-known one on Soi Post in Pattaya. I'll only bore you with the exact details if you really need them. I'm not posting this to be contrary, only to provide an example. I'm pro agent and will continue to use the well-known, trusted and reliable ones for many years to come.

No one - oh is that what "Xi" means in English?!

We could spend hours debating this but let's just stick to the topic eh? Which is ... where does Rick Astley get his $2 flatty whiteys from? ????

I use Bangkok Bank (BBL) and tbh I'm not very happy with them. They charge a 15 baht out-of-province ATM withdrawal fee which is not a massive amount but it just annoys me for some reason even though I'm trying to become for jai yen yen or whatever it's called. They're paying me less interest because I'm a dirty foreigner which makes it even more annoying ???? You can avoid that fee by using the Cardless Cash function at most BBL ATMs but you need their Bualuang app installed on your smartphone and a data connection. I had to use an agent in Pattaya to open my account almost a year ago. All I got was a silly ATM card that only supports Union Pay, whatever that is. Now they want B599 to renew the almost useless card. Sensing money via Wise to a BBL account is a bit of an issue. You have to choose "Funds for long stay" from a drop-down menu but they can't guarantee the incoming funds will be marked as an International Transfer. Forum members have reported occasional failures with Wise's software and the funds are tagged as local transfers which requires additional legwork. Also it takes longer for the funds to arrive because they do a batch transfer around 2pm each business day. On top of that, BBL won't give you a 12 month statement on the spot at a branch. Max is 6 months @ 100 baht. They have to send a request to head office for a 12 month statement and it can take some time to arrive. Other members can comment on the usual timeframes, I haven't needed it yet. I'm looking to switch to KBank as soon as I get around to obtaining a residence certificate from Chaeng Wattana. This is just my experience, other members will be along soon enough to provide more input.

More Wagyu steak and French wine for me then! ????

Ah that explains a lot. I guess having an unsophisticated palate means you're never disappointed ????

Is it single origin, mountain grown Fair Trade coffee? Or that great organic stuff that comes from Chiang Mai. Or you just happy with any old swill as long as it's cheap?

There's nothing wrong with adding hot water to an espresso to make it more palatable. Some folk just can't handle the strong hit of a single shot. It took me a very long time to get used to it. But I don't think that's why Starbucks is considered to be sub-par even though they say they use high quality coffee. I think it's just that their particular blend and way of making the coffee doesn't suit everyone's palate. My only experience with Starbucks was a negative one. It was at a Vons in San Diego when I was on vacay visiting a friend. I ordered an espresso to drink at the store and when he finally brought it over it was in a standard-sized takeaway cup not the miniature ceramic cup as expected. No glass of water either and no biscotti. The coffee itself wasn't to my taste but it was so long ago that I don't recall exactly why. It was such a depressing experience that I'll never go back to a Starbucks again unless they give me free coffee to sample AND I don't have to wait in line behind all the dummies ordering their stupid concoctions. I'm not against such concoctions but I'm not going to be held up by them. Put in an Express Lane and maybe I'll think about it. I mean, that's why they call it "expresso" isn't it? ????

From the internet: "In its simplest form, an espresso is essentially a strong black coffee that has been brewed under intense pressure." That produces a small amount of liquid. Aussies call it a Short Black, I guess because "espresso" is too foreign. That's too strong for a lot of people so just add some hot water and hey presto, you get a Long Black. Italians consider this a mortal sin and they (allegedly) don't drink it over there. If you want a long black in Italy you ask for an Americano ????

Simply having a server in Thailand doesn't guarantee success. Do you know for sure that Netflix hasn't blocked ExpressVPN's IP ranges?

One of my go-to tracks when I'm feeling blue. Thankfully the escitalopram works for me so never had to try the big L ????

Have you ever actually been to the basement at Swampy?

Why? Chrome can auto-translate pages for you, easy peasy.

Here's a shot of that boat from the V Varee. The Chao Phraya at night with all those cruise boats, and the lit-up Rama VIII and Phra Pinklao bridges, does it get any better?

Is that all? From our vantage point at the V. Varee guest house in Banglamphu we saw what seemed like dozens of boats. Too many to keep up with, especially after a few large Heinekens.
