My Dear Gentile Friends:

 

Maybe you wonder why I seem so ....

Out of Touch, at times, on this forum.

 

I think it must be that your sense of humor and mine...might....

Not be the same.

 

Jewish humor is something to be savored, and also something that most gentiles cannot appreciate.

 

This is not my fault.

I am a product of my upbringing.

 

Also, I have spent most of my adult years in Asia.

Therefore, unlike most of you, I see the world from a different perspective, and ... NOT....from the perspective of....a....

Cabby in London.

 

Would I trade my early years for anything?

No.

I would not.

 

I love the fact that I grew up in a Jewish neighborhood, and I would not have it any other way.

 

So, then....

 

Does anyone here know any good Jewish Jokes?

 

And, do you even know what Jewish humor might be?

 

Jewish humor is like fine wine......

And most cannot truly appreciate it, if one is a gentile....

 

Here is just one example:

 

 

But, NO, the above is NOT, anywhere NEAR, the best example of Jewish humor.

 

Maybe I will add a few Jewish Jokes...below,....

When I am ready.

 

Growing up in a Jewish neighborhood, being one of the sole surviving gentiles is my principle claim to fame.

 

I would not have had it any other way.

 

I am grateful for this.

 

Now, I guess, you know a bit more about me.

 

And, also, you might know, now, why I stick out like a sore thumb, too....because...

I know you care about this.

 

Regards,

Gamma

 

Note:  I bet that you might not know just how much an Asian neighborhood and a Jewish neighborhood might share in common.  

 

Please remind me to tell you, sometime....

 

 

 

 

Aberdonians have a reputation for being tight-fisted, but can't remember any Jewish people.  

Something that's intrigued me for years. I see many many people sitting on their motorcycle plucking nasal hair. Is it the exposure to environmental factors such as dust and pollution, which could potentially affect nasal health, causing more follicles to sprout? 

Is there an opening for a Thai member?

Not at all. When under attack from bloodthirsty, inhumane masses it is our duty to destroy them, hence the destruction of those cities, and Gaza.

Whose duty? Certainly not mine.

No, it was Hamas on Oct 7. It was the IDF on Oct 8 and onward to today. 

Also, it was the IDF on many occasions before Oct 7.  It's rather pathetic how a couple here keep saying this conflict started last Oct.

So it was the Israelis who slaughtered men, women and children on October 7? Holy cow!

No, that was Hamas, Israelis have slaughtered women and children almost every day for the past 6 months.

Because Bibi has made it clear he will not respect a ceasefire and will go into Rafah no matter what.

Unbelievable!

President Joe Biden's decision to have the United States abstain, and thus allow passage of the United Nations Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza was the right call. The resolution demands an immediate ceasefire and the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages. By allowing the resolution to pass the U.S. has staked out a position in favor of ending this horrible war, and in opposition to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's prioritization of his political well-being over the current and future good of Israelis and Palestinians alike.

It's only horrible to Gazans, they're the ones dying. 

Biden could pull all aid from Israel and stop giving them bombs.

Not. Have you calculated the amount of tax @MartinBangkok  would pay to Thailand, for nothing in return? I have calculated what I would have paid over the past year and came up with a figure of 25%. If I didn't have LTR I'd be gone.

I've no idea how much he earns. 

Is Thailand's tax rate higher than Israel's? You can't be taxed twice.

As far as I know, Thailand has always been anti-fahrang?

Specially with square face in the country.

Indeed, he raised visa fees by nearly 300%! Also raised PR from  10k to 100k

It's actually almost impossible to identify an overstayer if he has foreign income and access to that income through a bank card for example. He can just stay in rented properties, whatever. He is almost impossible to detect, unless someone tells the immigration. 

There should be random checks. IN 30 years, I've never been asked for my passport randomly.

I'm running. Moving to another SE-Asian country first week of April. This after 15 years living in Thailand, spending approximately 2.1 million Baht a year (about 70% of my foreign income) in this country (multiple BMWs, Ducatis, Hondas, not to mention local girls, restaurants, nightlife, golf!)

After the new tax rules were announced last year I have completely stopped spending money in this country. For golf I now only go to the local navy driving range and pay 20 Baht for a tray of 40 balls instead of thousands to pay courses where Thais get to play for a fraction of the price, not kidding, it's the hidden truth.

There is zero chance I will ever pay the equivalent of 1 Baht tax to a country which gives me zero in return and where the only thing it gives me is a shocking amount of discrimination as a Farang. A month ago I was sent to Malaysia by my company for a 1 week assignment. What a wake up call. The people there (including government officials and police) so genuinly sincere and friendly. Another stratosphere compared to Thailand.

Bye Thailand (I recommend those of you reading this carefully consider if Thailand is still worth it)

Rather over the top. There must be other reasons you are not happy here.

The course I play in Hua Hin only give 100 baht discount to me for being a Thai, hardly going to break the bank, 

Btw, I was charged 5,000 baht more than my pal at Royal Melbourne Golf club for being a foreigner.

I don't think that is unearned income. But I do think that's tax evasion because the gift wasn't really a gift because she gave it back to you.

It would make sense to give money from my UK income direct to my kids. No point sending to my bank then giving it to them here. Do you have any details about giving gifts to Thai citizens at university?

I just saw on CNN that the Israeli proposal is an exchange of 40 hostages for 700 prisoners, but there was no mention of a ceasefire or any other conditions. And it was reported that they didn't expect to receive a response from Hamas in a couple of days.

 as usual no parity

Nonsense, you are being irrational now. Where did I once post hate speech? Quote me.

No surprises here Israel is creating a few million more Hamas supporters every day.

Indeed, when the force all the Gazans out of Gaza, or kill them, the land will not be theirs for very long!
