I tried Thai food. Hated it. Still do.

Corrected. The OP's can no longer be corrected or quoted by members.

Maybe they're called internships. For education majors, a one term, part-time 'student teaching' placement before finishing uni.

No oil filter. Labor very cheap.

Don't care to go into the computations, but as a retired IRS tax auditor receiving SS old-age payments and a taxable IRS pension, none of my SS is taxable - 0%. It depends on "Modified AGI."

I had no idea that Cambodia had 300 economics experts.

How long is a piece of spaghetti? I compared costs to live as an expat in Mexico, circa 2000, yesterday. The other guy paid about 5 times what I paid. Thailand is cheaper than Houston.

We can discuss the OP, but we can't violate rule 21. Don't swallow the troll's bait.

"Hierarchy" is

I liked VK's first post. The later ones are misleading

Nothing lasts forever, in the cold November reigns of go-go bars, but Coffee Boy and Doi Boy outlasted their use-by dates for years.

I'm no mechanic. 500 baht sounds good.

I believe Red Lion ad is in the sub-forum for CMai News and events.

After living in Texas, Nicaragua and southernmost Mexico, I chose CMai. Tried Hua Hin; no hospitals, Came back here.

I worked for a Mexican-American in San Antonio, which was settled by Spaniards (Mexicans), A German-American walked in and said aliens should go home. I said, "Go home to Germany. newcomer."

This thread was meant to be about ....I forget.

Closed. '

April and September

1% of America owns 40% of the country. Its nice if Thailand improves free schooling and health care for poor people but its not going to result in a meaningful decrease in the wealth gap from your perspective. Why haven't the American social wealth distribution programs worked?

.

Can Thailand at least give a decent, free, public education to everybody? Yes, it can.

Can Thailand provide decent, free public health to everybody? Yes, it can.

Why protest the name 'Power Boy"? For years there was Doi Boy, Coffee Boy, maybe a Boy Oh Boy bar. Should the Power Boy bar change its name to Lanna Historical Cultural Preservation Yet Chuck Wow Yai Mahk Bar?

I think you do not need TEFL cert

....Now I realize many people leave their countries for negative reasons (they really hate their countries for whatever reasons) but in my view most of us leave our countries for POSITIVE reasons (because we have really good reasons to go the country we are moving to). Leaving doesn't usually mean we are more or less patriotic than our less adventurous brothers who stay home and it doesn't always mean we won't be back someday.....

So my intention here is for expats from different countries to discuss whether there are political factions in their home countries which bash expats, or not. I really don't know or have any preconceived notions about it.

Maybe overall, the average Thai is becoming less tolerant of excessive farang long-term expats. Usually, I think most average Thais in the Thai social structure have been non-inclusive (xenophobic). If it's true that the Gini coefficients of wealth and income disparity here are still very unbalanced, perhaps Thailand will never ever be a first world country.

My rose-coloured glasses broke, but it's still a great place to live cheaply.

So this is a forum about Thailand, and I as a Thai person, think that I am allowed to voice my opinions regarding you and your fellow farangs who constantly discuss Thailand and its people. Foreigners who live in the Land of Smiles should also be subject to criticism just as Thais are subject to the onslaught of denunciations that you people are constantly throwing at us. The relationship between farangs and Thais goes sour, and and you still wonder why? People like you have only yourselves to blame.

Was it something I said in the post you quoted?

Repsol was (IMHO) an ugly 2003 paint scheme for which folks paid extra. Otherwise, box-stock 2003 CBR150R.

If they grab your gonads, just say no.

No flaming, please.

Just ignore it.
