You are the 5th here to ask that question.

Compared to where?

A bitter basher. Just not true, there are politicians I know who are doing it to better the country. What do you think of Chuan Leekpai, is he 'disgusting, slimy, untrustworthy, disingenuous, filthy scum' ?

You must have good eyesight, unless you are on the bike with them

No, do you want bicycles as well?

Thailand creates a law reduce traffic accidents and basically all the replies are bashers. Unbelievable.

I hope we don't become like OZ. I was fined in Melbourne on a quiet street for parking, facing the wrong direction. I only stopped at a little shop to buy a litre of milk, stupid law, stupid enforcer

I rest my case ????

There are web forums for those ingregarious souls.

"the ladies"? You are assuming all Thai ladies are prostitutes, disgraceful.

I laugh when I hear the guys here say their woman is smart, has a degree, etc. It is basically saying that you are stupid, as opposites attract.

I hope you are not from the US or the UK, as pot and kettle come to mind.

How would you feel if Thailand's government banned all Americans and Brits during the Gulf War? Oh yes, this is different.

This has NOTHING to do with tourism, Thailand is just a peaceful nation. As this Thai's grandmother used to say, "awa an bile yer heid"!

Similar to inviting Bush in 2004, after invading and killing hundreds of thousands of innocents in Iraq. We have not chosen to side with Russia, the Ukrainian guy would be welcome too, despite being as corrupt as hell.

What are you talking about? The Ukraine war has nothing to do with Thailand, why should we pick sides? Did we take sides in the Iraq war, and condemn Baby Bush/Blair etc in 2004? No, we are a peaceful country, you have been brainwashed by American propaganda. It was Biden that 'started', or at least stirred up this war for political /financial reasons.

Thailand, like many Asian cultures have 'Indirect Communication style'. This is different to direct style in that it protects 'face'. Indirect is no better or worse that direct, just erm different culture. 'Thainess' is taught at school, you don't know what it is, google it, learn the language, or ask your Thai friends.

Centuries?

Compared to what other country? Thais have the reputation as very tolerant people. How often have you seen road rage here compared to you own country? How often have you seen bar brawls here compared to you own country? Personally, in decades, I've only seen road rage about 3 times, and twice foreigners were involved. I used to walk down Leith Walk in Edinburgh to get home on a Saturday night and saw fights almost every night, same in Aberdeen's Union Street. I never see fights here. Actually, what the **** are you talking about - propensity , my bottom.

I lived in that area for many years and know people who talked to the neighbours. https://theisaanrecord.co/2022/10/11/who-was-the-nong-bua-lamphu-mass-shooter/

Any recommendations for a good massage? The places I've been to already are more interested in selling me sex. Even yesterday, I went with my wife. She was upstairs and me down. My masseuse told me to come back later for a 2 hour with 2 ladies! Unbelievable.

Is it possible to get high from these things? As a recovered drug addict, my body is sensitive to many drugs. Yesterday I took a puff and felt strange after it, a bit like an amphetamine rush.

I have an issue with Bangkok Bank. I booked a flight 2 years ago with BA. I ended up getting a refund in May but it was sent to my old VISA card, which is the same account as my new card but.. They can't find my money as VISA will not allow them to follow the transaction on their system. I don't think they are looking hard enough. Any suggestions on what to do next, if anything? I am not willing to throw away 66,500 baht. Has anyone here used the Ombudsman to sort out bank issues, or any other organization/lawyer.

I just sold all my Solana as I've heard some things are going on like blocking whales accounts. Also, Binance are not allowing SOL deposits at the moment. I've changed it all into EGLD>

Looking to buy one. Does anyone know where? If not in Thailand, are there any reliable online stores?
