There is an easy solution:

This is why my gf gives me 20B when I give her perfume. She "buys" it from me and that negates that rule. This principle seems to be normal with lots of Thai women.

I never counted the non-alcohol days or promised I won't touch it for x days of weeks or whatever. If you do this, then it seems you have a problem with alcohol. I don't know how common this is, but for me it's like this: If I feel like drinking wine or beer or whisky, then I do that. Maybe I drink a glass or two, or maybe more. It depends on my mood and how I feel. If I drink with friends in a bar, then I might drink a lot. And at some point, my body will tell me: That's enough! And then I stop. That's it. And likely for the next days I don't want to drink any alcohol. And maybe a week later I do the same. Or I don't drink at all. It's a how do I feel about it today question. What's the point of making plans not to drink for 3 weeks? P.S.: I know one guy who has a reason to tell himself not to drink for 3 weeks. He owns a few bars and being there with friends and customers who get drunk or are drunk is difficult when sober. His solution is to go "to work" but don't stay until "everybody" is wasted.

It must be fun doing business with that guy.

It seems important to you so let me answer: I once wrote that my gf is watching sometimes stupid things on her tablet. And sometimes I see that. Yes, that is a fact. Also, the fact that I don't have a TV doesn't mean I don't own any computer which allows me to watch videos. In fact, I own several PCs, tablets, notebooks, smart phones. I work with computers. And I watch videos to learn something and get entertained.

It seems it depends on the food. We have a (expensive) computer rice cooker. Once the rice is cooked a timer shows how long ago it was finished and the rice is kept on (eating) temperature. Only after 24h is the timer blinking that you should not eat the rice anymore. 23h is still fine. And the rice still tastes good. There is lots of food which I would never reheat. But Thai curry (gang xyz) is something that can be reheated several times and it still tastes good. Maybe it tastes even better a few hours later. When we have something like that for lunch and we don't eat it again in the evening then mf gf cooks it for a minute in the evening and then again in the morning and it is ready to eat. It still tastes very good. I never eat food which I don't like, and I wouldn't eat any of this if I would think it is not good anymore of if it doesn't taste good anymore.

I think step 1 and 2 are ok. After that take a girl, <deleted>$# until you are tired, and that was a good night out.

I thought about what happened and the reactions here one more time. I think bouncers should and (mostly) will react differently to different situations. I.e. if a guest doesn't want to pay his bill, then the bouncers will likely just hold that guest until the police arrives. There is no need for a fight. But if someone (guest or whoever) physically attacks a bouncer or maybe a girl in the bar, then I think a physical reaction is only fair and should be expected by the aggressor. In this situation, looking at the video, it seems first they only talk. Probably the Brits could just have walked away. They didn't. They started a fight - and they got their fight.

Probably your dog is smarter than some of those tourists.

We are not in the west. In Thailand Thais react the way Thais react. Do you see Thai guys slapping a bouncer in the face? They don't do that because they know there are consequences. You seem to defend someone who started a fight with someone else and then he (or you) complain that the guy who was attacked is not fighting fair. Really, is that a problem? Let's say someone would slap me and then he would sit on the ground and tell me: I am sorry, I won't do it again. Should I just stay there and tell him: Sure, no problem. Or would you understand if I would hurt the guy who attacked me so that he understands there are consequences and he should never do it again? I have to admit I was never in such a situation. Most people are perfectly capable to avoid fights.

If the bouncers would have killed him, that would have been overreaction. They didn't kill him. He could still walk. That was no overreaction.

I wonder who is defending the misbehaving tourists in this forum. If nobody would misbehave, then there wouldn't be bouncers - not only in Thailand. And in Thailand the bouncers make sure that the offenders get the message and don't do it again - at least not in the same bar. No mercy for <deleted>. Kick them and throw them out. Nobody will miss them.

The headline should be: Thai bouncer retaliates after Brit slaps him in the face. There is nothing shocking about that reaction. Action, reaction. It's not too difficult to understand.

And then? 1000B fine? If they get kicked and it hurts, then they will remember that. That's the whole point.

I think some time ago we had a not very scientific survey here: How many of us saw that a farang was beaten without any reason? I never saw a fight bouncer - farang without any reason. And it seems most others also never saw it. Slapping a Thai in the face is a very stupid idea. Very stupid! Anybody who does that should be happy if he lives to tell the story. Personally I have no problem with bouncers. Don't annoy them and there are no problems.

That reminds me of that guy across the big pond. He fits in into the orange crowd even without wearing any uniform. And until now he gets the VIP treatment.

Obviously you are different. Maybe one day you will learn that the right girl can also make you happy the other 23h a day when you don't have sex.

Yes, and at the same time I have hope for Thailand. I think what plays out in the moment is very obvious a power struggle. Some politicians want power and money, and they don't care about Thailand and Thais. How long will they last? How long before the masses will rise up again? How long before the next election? I am pretty sure not too far in the future Move Forward, or maybe something similar, will win the election and form the government. Lots of people won't vote for PT anymore. They are very clearly not interested in the people - even the stupid should by now be able to understand that part. I sit back and look what will happen. And how fast it will happen. The old guard, including Thaksin, have lost. I give them best case a few years and then they will be gone, and nobody will miss them anymore. Am I right? I don't know. But that is my current prediction. What do you think?

Come on, they work, kind of, collecting all that money to look the other way.

I banned them so I can't see them. It would be crazy to check the people on my banned list to remember who are the worst. But then there is of course the banned one who still shows up all the time with some crazy new thread on the right side of this window. Luckily, he has this special icon which is easy to spot an avoid.

Is it only difficult with this criminal or with all criminals? Imagine the police catches some criminals on the weekend. No sorry, we can't handle them now. Please wait until Monday when the office opens. Really? I suggest: Get in there! Or we throw you in.

Have you considered leaving Thailand? Win/win/win.

Bob has a 9/10 wife? He said she was fat. That were two different threads. With Bob we are not supposed to remember what he wrote in another thread a couple of days earlier. Like Thread A: I was with this and that hooker. B: Why would anybody go with hookers. Especially if you have a great wife. C. I hate my wife. To be continued

And I thought she wants to invest (someone else money) and someone else works so she can make the profit.

Yes, good point. Most thinks on your list are no surprise. "No PC nonsense" is only visible when people also visit other (western) countries or watch too much internet. I don't visit western countries, but I have to admit I read articles and see videos from those woke idiots. Good luck we don't have too many of them in Thailand. And I don't think this will be a problem in Thailand.
