Women change. Man want that they are the cute girl which they met forever. But they are getting older and fatter and demanding and all that. And then they have children, and it gets worse.

I don't know who said it first but there is this wonderful quote: Women select a man and hope he will change but he won't change. Men select a women and hope she will never change. But she changes. Now multiply that by 10 years or more...

Thanks for your detailed reply and I am sure many of us are looking forward what will happen. Let me write some comments about what you wrote: About her history and where he met her: If someone asks where I met my gf, I normally say: at the beach. Which is not totally incorrect because her bar was near the beach. And why do I answer like that? Because that ends all possible discussions about why she worked in a bar and if she liked it and how many customers she had and whatever. Most guys in Thailand don't ask, they look at her and have a pretty good idea if the girl looks like she ever worked in a bar. I agree it will be hard for him in a village if he doesn't speak Thai. So maybe he should learn it or better live somewhere else. I don't think for many villagers her past is very important. It is a lot more important how much money she has. If she is married to a rich farang who is willing to spend a lot of money, then I am pretty sure that will enhance her status. About the UK: Probably he prefers to have a wife and doesn't care too much about the people in the UK. And about other women in Thailand. How many "normal" women want a farang husband? And what are their expectations? It seems almost all Thai women expect that a farang has money. Why else would they marry one? And about finding the perfect girlfriend or wife: Some of us want a woman about their own age. Some want children and a happy family and all that. Other just want to be happy with a woman. Personally I prefer a cute 20 year old girl who just started in that business compared to an old woman over 30 with a proper job, etc. It depends a lot on what we want.

Out of curiosity, what will you tell him? And what kind of reaction do you expect? And just in case you plan to tell him he should look for a proper wife who loves him and is not interested in his money, do you think he would be able to find such wife?

I am happy with two chair and one table. And we will order drinks and food from the vendor. I only had this "all reserved" issue one time. But it was on my last visit, that is why I remember and ask.

My gf has long hair. Does that matter these days?

Prebunking: The new tactic to help people spot fake news
OneMoreFarang replied to Social Media's topic in World News
There is a proven method: Trust only news from reliable sources. And if it is important then check multiple reliable sources. -
I visited Pattaya and Jomtien many times over the years. But not recently since Covid started. I think about going there for a weekend from Bangkok. A long time ago it was easy: We arrived on the beach in Jomtien and then we just walked to the beach and got some beach chairs. Maybe 50B per day, I forgot. But I remember last time, a couple of years ago, we arrived at the beach and the situation was different. It was morning and the beach was nearly empty and almost all beach chairs were free. So we though let's get one. But then the vendor informed us that they are all reserved, hundreds of them. We walked a little further on the beach and the situation was the same. How is it now? Can we just walk to the beach (in the morning maybe 9 or 10am) and get some chairs? Are they available? What do they cost now? We also visited another small beach sometime, I think it's called Naklua beach. As far as I remember the situation was better at that beach. But my experience was from years ago, maybe 2020. If I go there I will come with my long time Thai gf. My Thai language is also good enough for basic conversations. What is your experience now?

Don't do it. Short time Airbnb is illegal. Renting for longer time is not easy, there are many available units, and many are empty for a long time. And then you need someone reliable to look that all goes alright..

Legal Action Taken Against Three Illegal Taxi Drivers in Phuket
OneMoreFarang replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
I guess we have to see it positive that those illegal taxis won't be missed because there are so many legal overcharging taxis... -
I thought that's what angle grinders are used for.

US suspects three unidentified objects it shot down were 'benign'

Shoot first - it seems that is what the USA do at least since decades. The land of the free and all that. -
Donald Trump loses $110K contempt of court appeal
OneMoreFarang replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Probably Trump did something like GoFundMe and his idiotic supporters will pay the bill - plus some extra money for Trump, the innocent victim. -
IMHO there are only very few cases where users really need the latest and best. Computers which are 1 or 2 years old are still very good for almost anything (if they have enough RAM, etc.). ThinkPads have since many years very good quality, great drivers support, etc. They also have great options like on site premium support when you buy them for reasonable prices. If you don't care if the computer doesn't work for a week or two, then there are for sure cheaper options. But if you want a good product which if it fails (coffee spill, whatever) will be repaired within a day or two then ThinkPads are definitely a good choice.

Thanks, I understand your points. But believe it or not, the model GKS 18V-68 GC (not the GKS 18V-68 C) is pretty near to a track saw. I also bought a matching track. I saw a German review of a couple of track saws and circular saws and this one was in the top. And last but not least it is obviously always a question what is available in Thailand. This was in stock at a company from which I bought other tools and which I trust. And I have already several Bosch 18V batteries. Was it the best possible choice? Probably not. Was it a good choice and available? I think so.
