These here 'Thais' are an ingenious and creative bunch. The rest of the world could learn by their example.

Yes, amazing…! In developed nations…50 is not old. Are you Thai…?

Just finally received a password. Cheers...!

Sorry, I did mean Chiang Wattana (Bangkok). My Passport Visa reads: Non-B My extension reads: Thai Wife Regarding the two posted links: the first one is regarding applying for your 'Visa' online, not an appointment for Chiang Wattana. The 2nd site asks for my email to send me a password...so far no password sent after 5 attempts. It's 2:38 in the afternoon...must be nap time. Thanks again. If anybody has another 'Book appointment on-line' for Chiang Wattana, I would much appreciate it.

I will renew my 'B' visa next month for my 'Thai Wife' classification. I have several times gone to the Thai Immigration website looking to book my appointment in advance. And I can not seem to find the appropriate 'page'. I know it's probably right under my nose... Does anybody have the 'link'...? Thanking you in advance Cheers

I agree with OP, it is so true...! I refer to it as 'Thai Conclusions'. Just imagine, you are playing 'football' and you pass to a Thai team mate, and he starts running the ball speeding down the field... in the complete opposite direction... "This is why, I would not trust most people here to do anything but grow…. Papayas and…. Bananas." Haven't you ever said..."just what are they thinking...?"

"Rolex is the number one choice for people who don't know anything about watches, and is now the watch of choice for drug dealers, petty crimes, nouveau riche, and 'fan boys'. The ideal watch for money launderers."

Technology should not be in the hands of those that did not invent it!

"It's striking how the idea that there are too many people in the world has established itself in the collective mind." Sounds like a disease to me...!!! Let me guess...as a student...not very good at Math...

Wait...are you saying that there are NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE IN THE WORLD...?!! There are more than 20 Cannabis dispensaries in my neighborhood, but I don't think ANYBODY is smoking the '<deleted>e' that you are smoking...!

"This is happening in many, many countries of the world, except in Africa, where the ancient ways continue. 21 of the 22 nations with the highest birth rates are there. Woe is Africa." No, Woe is us...! "where the ancient ways continue" Where more 'primitive and less resourceful' ways continue... (but I am on your side)

I believe he is mentioned in the Video.

I'm not 'many'...I am one. But I say 'You are BS'...! Where are you from...Kazakhstan...? (I think your visa might be expiring soon...)

Find a lovable puppy, or a hamster. maybe a parrot or a cockatoo.

Cool...! I mean to say...thanks for that. I feel better now.

Elon Musk is a 'greedy' MONEY GUY. This video is all about sustaining to the global 'Ponzi Scheme'. It has nothing to do with 'Planetary Survival'. However, I agree with George Carlin...'Humanity's Ship has sailed...we (you and me) missed the boat'. Rant and Rave all you want. And please do enjoy your memories.

Why do we need to replace the people that died...? We are killing ourselves via 'over-population'. Any scientist with a brain will tell you that there are not enough resources on the planet to sustain the current populations. In fact, the science says that Earth was 'self-sustainable' at a population of 1 billion. You can call me names, and deny...deny...deny...! But the Human Race has basically...'missed the boat'. 'Humanity's Ship has sailed.' https://charlierose.com/videos/19176

You are correct!

"Currently, the fertility rate for Thai women stands at an average of 1.16, indicating that a woman has approximately 1.16 children throughout her lifetime. An exception to this trend is observed in Yala province, which reports a fertility rate of 2.27." No, I am not a 'racist', just a scientifically factual guy...as they do tend to double the indigenous Thai's'. Wikipedia: Yala is one of the four provinces of Thailand with a Muslim majority. About 72 percent of the people are Malay-speaking Muslims

Unfortunately, unexpected things can happen to us as we age...inspite of our enthusiasm for life. In 1992 I lived and worked in Tokyo for a year. And one crowded evening on the train back home after work, I happen to sit next to this older, but English-savvy Japanese gentleman (it was a long train ride). But among many other things, he happen to inquire if I was married? I said "no,...but divorced." Then he stated that if I marry again (I'm age 42 at the time) "be sure to pick a much younger wife". "Why" I asked?" "Because when you get 'too old', she can take care of you". I was too 'arrogant and cocky' then. Today at 75, he was a wise man. As I think back on the cultural differences, in my later years...a younger Japanese wife would be much more suitable over a Thai wife. Why...? Japanese have much more integrity. However, the Past is Past...and for me, it wasn't meant to be.

She looks exactly like her father, but for the lip-stick. (and there is nothing cute about him)

"Having said that, what a lot of bird keepers neglect is that the species they keep usually fly I don't know how many kilometers a day in the wild. If you want to keep your bird in a cage then this is literally like prison for them" So true. However, the ones you go to purchase are already in a cage and maybe even born in captivity (I don't know). I've seen them at Chatuchak Market in small cages with 10-20 others in the same cage. Thanks
