Anyone born after 1940 in most western countries are incredibly lucky. Born in a not dysfunctional two patent family more luck. Born to an inheritance coming your way more luck again. Born good looking, again more. Most don't realise how much their life was dominated by luck.

yesterday I entered Tesco and smuggled put a whole salmon under my shirt. The cashier smiled at me as I walked thru. I then proceeded to a hairdressers and seduced a girl into washing my hair and then sweet talked her into cutting it. Leaving we were both happy. Obviously I paid both times and got receipts and everything but you know what I mean.

Be kind. BM2 is a great poster. Constructive criticism is one thing. How does a nasty dig help the world?

And it seems you can't fix cruel. She's your wife and the woman who you reported looked after you so well when you were hit by that car. If you're not aware, nearly anyone in a relationship would be very hurt to know this was written about them by the one person in the world who should have their back. Public flaming of the ones closest to you. It's Trump Musk behaviour.

Same the world over. Dynamic, attractive girls graduate and go to the big cities to look for work and/or relationship opportunities. The uncompetitive, unambituous or lazy stay where they are.

How long have you been married? How did you meet the wife? Look at yourself and her, how much did finances contribute to making it a fair trade? Even if the answers were good I'd still be suspicious.

Bkk is fantastic if you're happy spending money. Imagine if everything in bkk was 90% cheaper, I suspect all those claiming to hate the place would be saying how much they loved it.

That's fantastic. So nice to read. If more men had waited until their luck came rather than taking the easy option this forum would be a more cheerful place.

yep, you played a great game. Finding her, how much was luck and how much was having the right strategy? What's the age gap btw?

Fairer comparison is to Lazada. Both do online delivery. Very little difference.

Even in the 3rd world UK minimum wage has increased from £5.05 to £12.2 an hour over 20 years. 2.4 times.

Every single poster who simply asks you a question you attack as stupid. So why do you live in Thailand then? I'll wait for the abuse not an answer.

If that's the best you can come up with Thailand is pretty great. Taxi mafia!!!! Only in 1% of the country. Dual pricing. Only on 1% of the average persons spend. Beer price ridiculous? Not compared to most western countries. Smell? Learn to love durian and the streets smell like an orchard 🤣 Hospitals still cheaper than the west by far. Soi dogs. You have a point But I'd happily put up with all that in exchange for not paying council/property tax.

But it's you that started the thread about thais only asking you the same three questions while you ask nothing. And then implying that it says a lot about Thais while ignoring what it says about you.

So they have a little curiosity about you and you have zero about them and you ask only about their education system!

And what questions do you ask them?

Your mom will be so proud when you tell her about your negotiating skills.

Those living off inheritance pretending they're living off their current abilities.

What percentage of those 6000ish books have you actually read?

How is boiled rice more expensive than fried rice? Same with grilled versus fried chicken? Cheapest and healthiest protein. Lentil Dahl. Easy to make. A microwave mug cake cheaper than a 7/11 cup cake and use mashed banana instead of sugar. Reduce oil and use coconut oil instead of a seed oil. Thais are addicted to hyper palatable food like the rest of the world. The food industry is now a chemical industry.

How good is your Thai?

Take 5 deep breaths. 5 seconds in. Hold. 10 seconds out. Hold Ask yourself what advice you would give to someone in same situation.

One is donating his own money. The other stopped the government from donating other people's money without their agreement. Both ethical choices. Charity with other people's money is theft. If you disagree send me your bank details and let me choose who I give it to.
