He shouldn't do that. But I am sure he enjoyed that ride. Sometimes I wish I had a truck just like that. 😉

Does this only happen to your bike? Did it happen to anybody else in your condominium? I think first you should find out why it happened. Maybe it was the condominium management who blocked your bike for whatever reason.

I think I read in the Dale Carnegie book many years ago that he suggested that you can write letters and then put them in a drawer and never take them out of that drawer again. You can try something similar like just don't press the Submit button.

No emergency power for the lifts?

I am getting too old for this s^&$.

About in this order: Lunch at The Oriental Hotel? A Thai oil massage followed by a happy ending? A visit to Kinokunia Book store followed by a good cup of coffee? A couple of Guinness at the pub followed by a short-time? Is it a workout at the gym followed by a protein drink from 7-11? A trip to a crowded shopping mall and a wander around aimlessly buying stuff you don't need? A hot-pot lunch followed by an afternoon film in the theater? A boat ride on the river from Taksin Bridge up to the Grand Palace? A wander around the bustling fresh markets in China Town? Surfing the net and reading annoying posts on AN like this one? A run around Lumpini Park followed by some good street food along the backside of the park? A trip to the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC)? Stocking up on supplies at Lotus, Big-C or Makro? Buying a bunch of fruit at Or Tor Kor Market? A fat spliff, followed by 3 chocolate bars, then contemplating your navel for hours and never leaving your bed?

"Your" logic makes sense. But that is not reality. Some people are stretched to pay amount X now. And they would be hard pressed to pay X + 20%, especially regularly. Raising the prices will almost certainly result in fewer customers buying fewer things. Overall, less income and less money to pay rent, staff, etc. I know from good quality restaurants that they pay more for the ingredients now. But they don't raise their prices because they know above. Is it fair? Not really. But that's reality. And often prices are made to suite the market. I.e. if most vendors offer their dish for 50B, then better do the same so that people buy from you. Even if your ingrediencies are more expensive than those from the others. I go regularly to a small coffee shop, which is not from a recognizable brand name. The espresso is great, and it's expensive. And I buy it because I like it and I can afford it. Now the shop has fewer customers than before. There might be various reasons, but I am sure the price is an issue for many people. That's life.

I live in a high floor in the middle of the city, and I am seldom near standing water. I can't remember when I last saw even one mosquito.

The DEMs have limited choices: a) They keep Biden and will lose, and many will blame Biden for the loss b) They find someone else and still lose. Then some will say they would have won with Biden. c) Biden will go gracefully, they will find a good new candidate in a short time, donors will support the new candidate and he/she will win. What is the chance that c will happen? Personally, I think best cast 10%. IMHO the DEMs will lose, and they deserve to lose. They could have and should have looked for at least one good presidential candidate since Biden won in 2020. They didn't. They could have prepared the nation slowly to the fact that Biden in not fit anymore. They didn't. Many DEMs still pretend there is nothing wrong with him. IMHO Trump is a horrible choice for a president. The DEMs really didn't have to do much to find someone better. And they still failed. Now they should not be surprised that there are consequences.

If I would look for a new gf, and if I would look in a bar, then I would look for what you describe. Nice and innocent. On the other hand, if I just want to f#%#, and maybe with a girl who is not surprised by anything anymore, then I don't care too much about their tats and nails. 😉

IMHO there are many girls who do most of the time their regular business. I do this, and you pay that. Fine. And then some of the girl, depending on the area maybe many, also play special games with guy who want to play that game. Newbies, guy who would never pay for sex, and whatever else. I knew many girls who knew I am forever in Bangkok and some of them knew my gf, or at least the fact that I have a gf, and I had lots of drinks and sometime more with them. It's not all about money for many girls all of the time.

555 So please tell us about your experience with Thai females who are not interested in money. Please be aware that it's not about asking for money after a night, or monthly support, etc. Women in general, not only in Thailand, prefer successful men, with a good income, a good job and career, etc. Is it only about the money? No. But money is often an important part of the deal - for all women.

There was a time when I visited with my gf her friends in some bars. So, I knew lots of bargirls not because I was a customer, but because they were friends of my gf. I heard enough stories directly from them and also what they told my gf, and my gf told me. It seems that almost all those bargirls have one customer who is more than just a customer. They would marry the guy right away, and money would not be the main reason. Obviously, they still take the money, even from the guy who they would want to marry. And from the other guys they take the money because they work. There is no conflict in above statements. They are just human - at least many of them. 😉

I don't go out as much as I used to, but I still talk with enough girls and buy the some drinks. I didn't hear for ages something like handsome man or sexy man or anything like this. I am pretty sure they don't tell me those lies because I would know it's a lie. I don't ask them if they think I am the sexiest man they know. I don't want to hear the truth, and I don't want to hear an obvious lie. If I would ask a girl if she wants to go with me, she will likely just say "yes". She doesn't tell me she only goes with me because she wants money. But why would she tell me? I didn't ask her, and I don't really want to know if her boyfriend wants a new motorcycle or her brother some drugs or whatever. And then there are the situations where a girl tells a guy that she works to build a house. Maybe that's it, and she doesn't say anything more and that part of the conversation is over. But maybe the guy asks her then: How much do you need? Can I help you? His idea is maybe that if he helps her or maybe if he buys her a house, that she will love him and be happy ever after. But that is normally not what actually happens. Obviously, she will tell him that she likes when he gives her money to build the house. And she is happy. How many girls tell a guy that if he buys her a house, she will love him until the rest of his life, be the perfect wife, don't go with other guys anymore, don't drink, and whatever else? Often the guy is the one who somehow assumes that she will do all that because he bought her a house or whatever. Like I said above: He dreams his dream. And she is smart enough not to disturb his dream.

Some bargirls are smart. And in Thai society they learn all their life how to pretend to be somebody they are not. I think the smart girls don't tell the guy any lies. They let the guy imagine what he wants to imagine. And then they don't discourage him from what they want to think. Some time ago I was thinking about making my favorite bargirl my girlfriend. She "played" hard to get. I was not interested in a sponsored relationship, and she knew that. I remember once I asked her what she thinks about becoming my girlfriend. Her answer was "maybe", with some additional sentences that she just had a boyfriend, and she needs some time before she has another one, etc. I interpreted this "maybe" as "yes, likely, just give me some time". It never happened. In the hindsight I think her maybe was more like "yes, maybe I win the lottery tomorrow, but maybe not". The point is, she never lied. She let me believe what I wanted to believe. Obviously, I/we should try not to make such mistakes. But then, we are also only human and like to dream about those maybe situations.

It's sad to see in real life that the USA is the best democracy money can buy. Even the best candidates have no chance to win any election without big money donations. And nobody should be surprised that the politicians think foremost about what they can and have to do to get enough money for their election and reelection. And the people? Who really cares, as long as the big donors influence any election substantially.

And maybe exactly that is the best situation for such a relationship. They won't talk about it.

The way she looks, that is about as best as she will be able to get.

Yes, and many years previously from the desert.

And before the end of August? TiT

It seems to me that many women have this issue that they think that if they only would look like [insert whatever you like], then everything would be better. I.e. maybe they have a friend, or an instagram model, with a big rack, and they think that person is admired by everybody (or just a specific group of people). They also want to be admired just like that, so they get an operation. And then? Maybe a few people will comment, but life is not suddenly so much better. So what do they do? More of the same! Bigger size, maybe a nose job, whatever. Just make enough "improvements", and the success will come.... But maybe in reality the situation is that that other person is just not such a bitch, and this is why more people like her. Not because of how she looks. I think that is what people who want such operation should think about. What do I expect will be the outcome?

I think sometimes it's fair to tell people why they won't get any response anymore. I guess you know the ignore function in this forum. Hoover over the member's name, click ignore, and you will not see him again. Problem solved - at least for me. In above case, it was not a threat, it was just a fact which I let him know. Maybe, just maybe, he will think a minute about what he wrote and think twice next time. That won't make any difference with me anymore, but maybe it will help him to avoid being ignored by "everybody".

A YouTuber? I always thought the influential people in Thailand are the politicians with too much money.

Isn't football betting illegal in Thailand?
