So what would you like to talk about with them or what activities are on your mind? I.e. I play pool with all kinds of nationalities including Thai. But after that we go different ways and likely meet again on a future day to play pool. We like to play pool, that's the connection. And it seems most of us are just interested in the game and not the family or job of the other guys.

Just a general thought: Many people think psychiatrists and psychologists are only needed by crazy people who can't function alone anymore. At least that is what I remember from farangland some time ago. In reality basically everybody will benefit from talking to someone who understands the human mind. We all do lots of things because we somehow long time ago learned that that is the way to do things. And most of us have no idea where our behaviors originate in our past. And maybe it's still relevant. But we do also lots of things which don't make any sense anymore in the here and now. We just do it because we always did it like that. If your wife is reluctant to go to a "doctor for crazy people" then maybe suggest that he can help her to get over the death of her father or something like that. Once the door is open, they can, and will, talk about anything.

It seems you want a psychologist, not a psychiatrist. Better get that right before you start searching. And, from my personal experience, she should look for a person to whom she can talk to and who (seems to) understand her. That is more important than lots of different methods. And the talking should be in her native language. Good luck!

Several Thai people told me she looks so nice...

Ok, let's vote for Lisa. But maybe I shouldn't say that too loud. I am sure millions would vote for her.

And the most hated. He divided the nation like nobody else. If she come to power, then he is in power, and history will repeat itself. When will the red mob understand that it's insane to try the same again and again and expect a different outcome?

Why would anybody vote for a relatively young woman with little experience to lead the nation? Only because her father is a wanted criminal? TiT

It's sad. And it's funny from the outside. But imagine you grow up like that...

Mostly same same for me. I live in the same building, do the same kind of work, same supermarket like 20 years ago, still riding a bike. 20 years ago, I had a sexy young gf. Now I have the same sexy young gf. The world has changed, some of my friends moved away or died, but mostly life is still the same. I like it the way it is.

Do we all know? ????

What you describe is still a girl who is together with the guy because of the money and lifestyle. Personally, I wouldn't want a long-term girlfriend who uses me like that.

Yes, and in a way she is the girl friend for that time. Maybe she even likes the guy and maybe she enjoys the sex with him. And maybe she would stay with him for a long time if he would live in Thailand. Having said that, after the guy goes back to farang land he and "his" girl are in totally different situations. He is most likely in a place where even the old and ugly women ignore him. He can dream of his darling for months and years - he has no alternative. But the girl in Thailand will have likely several opportunities a day to meet a guy who wants to spend a little or a lot of time with her. Why should she wait for the one guy, who promised her who loves her and who maybe will come back in an uncertain time? How long should she wait? And what should she do at that time? Play farmer? 555 Just be realistic! Enjoy the time and maybe see the girl again in a year, or maybe not. Don't wait and don't expect unrealistic promises.

There was a time, a long time ago, when a huge part of the working girls were looking for a husband. IMHO that time is over. There are certainly still some girls who hope to get a husband that way. But there are also many who like a lot more the idea of making good money in an hour or two and then back to their life with their Thai friends and often Thai boyfriend. Too many guys think that all bar girls are looking for a guy who takes them out of that horrible place. And they think bar girls prefer and old and boring and maybe even relative rich guy compared to what they have. Wrong! At least most of the time.

How many bank tellers do you know? How many of them are intellectuals? But maybe your definition of "intellectual" is somehow not very intellectual.

What is the alternative? It seems some guys think they rent a girl for a few weeks and then they like the girl and then they try to start a long distance relationship which is often doomed from day one. Too many guys send money to "their girl" every month and hope/dream that the girl will somehow stay in her room and only dream about him. Really? Which young attractive girl doesn't want to party and have sex? Deals like: you wait for me until I come back in x months are just unrealistic! IMHO accept that you hired a girl. Be nice to her and if you like give her a bonus but don't expect that she waits for you. It's unrealistic and will almost certainly fail.

With Soi Cowboy 100m away from there. Coincidence?

The ugly once stay longer. ????

Walking is certainly the cheapest way. ????

He should just declare that he is now a she or a they. And when they then still don't employ him/her/it then he can sue the company for being transphobic and all that...

It seems many people make up prices and nobody really knows - as far as there is something to know. Recently I looked at maybe 10 units in the same high-rise building. For the same price the asking price was somewhere between 6.5m to 8m. And there was no relation of renovation status, floor, or other criteria. The worst unit, totally run down and termite infested, had asking price 8m. Another unit of the same size, recently renovated in reasonable quality, was on the market for 7.2m. The manager told me no unit of any size was sold in the last two years (in Covid times) in that building.

Would they really be better if they also ignore the English manuals and not just the Thai manuals? In my limited but existing experience with several AC "specialist" it seems nobody of them wants to learn. I had one technician who started to install a new AC. He just wrapped the copper ends of the electrical cables together and then put electrical tape around it. The next day I went to HomePro and bought several electrical connectors, and I gave them to him. He ignored them. Like: why should I use those? ... Another guy should install new ACs. I made sure he sees the Thai manuals. But he ignored the manuals. He just installed something and later I had to tell him to do it again. He should have read the manual. But he didn't. And I would be very surprised if at the next job (sure not from me) he will read the manual and make life easier and more efficient for himself. Obviously it's a nice idea to improve the knowledge and skills of these people. But somehow I have little hope that will work.

An understandable summary to whom? The Thai voters? 555

Thanks for pointing that out. Yes, it makes a difference if lots of illegal activity is going on or if the establishment itself was illegal. But then again, I guess if they would have called it illegal drug supply house then it couldn't be legal.

Come on Thaksin, come back to Thailand and go complain. Do you accept the laws of the country or not? If you accept them then go to jail and wait until you are out of jail in maybe 10 years and then go complain about others. Or shut up and stay in the desert.

That would be a lot better than supporting the red mob.
