Tendy is a building with lots of residents, bars, shops and offices. Maybe you should clarify which part you are concerned about.

Sometimes it's difficult to keep things apart. I guess the Israeli government is responsible for fighting the war in Gaza the way they do it. And especially Netanyahu. He is Jewish and I am sure most of the Israel's government are Jews and most of their citizens are Jews. Does this mean all Jews are responsible? No. Does that mean that a lot of Jews in Israel are responsible. Yes. And then there is the billion-dollar weapon support from the USA? Who makes sure the USA is doing that? Jews? It seems there are also some Jews who are against this war. So, we definitely can't say all Jews want to kill Palestinians. I think we should try to separate clearly who is doing what and not mix different groups of people all toghter. That is also the case with the people in Gaza and Hamas. Are some of them Hamas? Yes. Are all of them Hamas? No. Who are Israeli soldiers killing? Only Hamas terrorists? Or do they kill also lots of other Palestinian people? In a long debate we can look at all the details. In short it is not wrong to say that (many, not all) Jews kill (many, not all) Palestinians.

It won't prevent you from getting a loan. But the conditions of that loan might vary depending on your credit rating.

It is obvious that the parents are a big part of the problem. I hope they have to pay a lot of money so that they will remember to make sure their boy doesn't do that again.

It's sad that many protest only see the world from this side or the other side. What is so difficult about condemning the Hamas strike on Israel and condemning the occupation by Israel and working to avoid dead people on both sides? The situation won't get better when everybody is only blaming the others. Try to find solutions which are good for everybody. I know it's difficult, but it's possible. And at least people on all sides should try.

I remember some time ago I visited with my gf a friend of her up country. At the neighbor's house they had music playing all the time. I almost asked if there is a party going on. Later someone told me someone died in that house and now they play that funeral music for some time.

And often they don't pay because it is not covered. This is why it is a good idea to read the details. But obviously that is something that most people don't do. It's so much easier to say later: Why does the insurance not pay? Because you can't read or are too lazy to read.

It's bad enough that it burns. But it is really uncomfortable when the electric doors and electric windows don't open anymore. https://youtu.be/dQxm6n7SdvE?si=RW9PrRIonVRaQber

So she didn't know how to ride and now she blames the insurance. Remember: If your riding skills are substandard, then it is not a good idea to ride near a cliff in a country far from home.

There is a difference between I need something and I want something. I understand lots of people want a lot. And if they receive their salaries they spend a lot. And then later in the month there is no money anymore. How could that have happened? It seems many people are ready to help people in need. People can also get food from the temple, etc. I think there are very few situations when a loan shark is the only option.

Let's say: Put some weight on the feet (instead of worst case sitting and dangling the feet in the air).

That is not entirely true. It seems lots of Thais, and maybe not only Thais, like to gamble. Some on the lottery, others on football, etc. And some are just convinced they will win. Invest 10,000 today, get 20,000 tomorrow. Perfect. What can possibly go wrong? Answer: see above. And as far as I know at least some of that Thai (obviously illegal) gambling works in the way that the gambler does not have to pay up front. Like Somchai calls the gaming guy and says he bets 10,000B on Liverpool. Fine. At that moment he does not have to pay. He expects to get 20k the next day. But maybe Liverpool loses and then he has to pay 10k. But he doesn't have 10k. No problem Somchai, you can pay 1000B per day, every day, until the end of the month.

There are at least two solutions: a) The police could enforce the laws and arrest the bad guys - instead of working with them together. b) People should think very hard before asking loan sharks for money. It is well known that those loan sharks have horrendous interest rates and cheat. And it is well known that they use violence. Avoid!

Do a "small crime", go to jail and stay in jail. Do crimes on national level and make billions: Never go to jail. What do we learn from that? It's no surprise that lots of influential people continue with their crimes. Because most of them never go to jail. That reminds me: What happened to the people who got jailed for picking mushrooms in the wrong forest? Are they still in jail?

I found an easy trick to find out their real age. If you ask them: Are you 18 already? Then they will answer yes, or I am already 19 or whatever. But if you tell them: You look like 15. Then the immediately protest: I am already 17! It really works.

I don't know exactly what makes a scooter a scooter. As far as I know standing up is not necessary. The point is to have your weight on your footpegs/feet (not the seat or the handlebars) and that somewhere in the center of the bike. With that position the bike can kind of swivel around the center of gravity. And that makes us feels the potholes or bumps in the road not so much.

I think nobody mentioned it until now. The tire pressure is also important. It seems many Thais put a lot of pressure in those tires. I guess they do that to make them faster - 1km/h or whatever. If you lower the pressure, then you will feel the bumps not so much. Obviously don't have the pressure too low. Just try. That's an easy "fix" for free.

Option 1: tip Option 2: I put it in my pocket. And when I come home I empty that pocket. My gf collects all those coins and bring them from time to time up country for the kids.

I think people should do what they want in the legal framework. If you like old women, then go ahead and do what you like. But lot of men want girls who are young and legal.

Next thing you will tell us that we all make logical decisions based on facts. Yeah, sure, in your fantasy.

Which payment?

If you would really want to know then you could read and learn. It's nature that guys of any age prefer young and beautiful (= healthy, good genes) girls to have sex and children. Don't ask me how many thousands of years that was the case already, but a long time. IMHO the only reason why guys have sex with older women is that they don't get a pretty young one or they are too much under pressure from feminists who hate the fact that guys like young and beautiful. And when I write "young" that I write about post puberty girls. Because only they can have children. Anybody who desires pre-puberty children is sick. Totally different from above.

I am surprised that it took so long before anybody brought that up again. My girlfriend was above age of consent, and her parents didn't complain. Legal. No problem.

And then there are guys who call anybody who goes with a 17 year old girl a pedo. It would be so easy to look up the definition of that word. Not knowing the meaning and making accusations is pathetic. All bs.

Age of consent: 16 Prostitution is illegal. So much about that.
