But we have MeToo in Thailand. Sometime when I go out with friends and we spot a pretty girl on stage one of my friends tells us: I want her. And we all agree: MeToo, MeToo.

I never did that. But I heard stories from friends who though they had sex with pretty women until they woke up the next morning. Like: Did I really f#$# you? Oh my god.

Sorry I didn't realize you are such an expert.

I haven't read the details before this post. But I remember a so called visa agent in Bangkok maybe 10 years ago. He got a visa for everybody, no problem. Until the moment some important people found out that he did all the stamping and signing by himself. He had to leave the country within a few days...

NEVER is such a drastic word. Why use is or even think it? Ok, I am sure I will never have sex with some ugly old women, but for many other things, why restrict yourself? Likely I will spend the rest of my life in Thailand. But maybe I go on holiday to another country. If bad things happen, which I don't expect, I could also possibly move to another country. Sometimes we have threads here that people want to move to Thailand for their retirement. Sure, if you like it do it. And think about what you are doing. And maybe you are as happy as you think you will be. But maybe not. Why try to make decisions for eternity? How about: I plan to stay here for at least a couple of years. And then, if things go different then expected, think again.

I work for a company and have a work permit and we use a visa agent. The only thing I have to do is one time a year show up at immigration about 9am. The agent was there since maybe 6am. I walk in with the agent, wait maybe 5 minutes, then I sit in front of the immigration officer. They take one picture. Thanks and have a nice day. All the paperwork is done by the agent, questions are answered by the agent, and the waiting is done by the agent. And obviously having such an agent makes life better because no stress, no hassle, no complications. A long time ago I did visa runs with a company. All organized and straightforward. No hassle. It makes life just easier.

Good luck for the next years...

Yes, that is true. But I also find it hard to see how many people think kids just grow up by themselves to be responsible adults some time. Lots of Thai kids grow up with a horrible education and often with not exactly good role models. I see the development of lots of kids from the family and friends of my gf. To use a nice term: suboptimal development...

No, No. First of all, I am still working. And in my spare time I have my gf, electronics, and in the moment I renovate an apartment. There is a lot to do. And from past experience, if I ever get bored I like to read books and sometimes watch videos and movies, etc. The good thing with all of those activities is that I can easily do them or don't do them whenever I like. One of the problem with kids is that they are a full time job. Or at least I think we should have time for our kids when we do it right. Obviously some people will say: How do you know about kids? I was once a kid and I remember the good times and the bad times. And I see lots of kids with horrible parents. I know it takes a lot of effort to do this right.

For what reason? So that life for you is not boring? To guide your child in the direction you want? It seems lots of kids want something other than their parents. Would you accept that? I think lots of people dream about this wonderful idea of a happy family. But then, looking around at reality, how many happy families exist?

I have no kids and I don't want any kids. Here are some reasons. If I would have kids then I would try to do my best for my kids. That includes good parental care, good school, a house with a garden, etc. Kids, especially in Thailand, are very expensive. Spending 1 million THB per year or even more for one child in a good school is not unusual. I think kids should grow up in a house with a garden, maybe in a quiet street, something like that. Up country that is easy, in Bangkok that is very expensive. I don't think it is a good idea to let the grand parents look after the children all the time. But it seems that is what happens in Thailand a lot. Is that great for the kids? I have my doubts. I am sure if I would have a pretty girl as my child I would worry a lot. I know some fathers who bring their girls everywhere with a car because they don't want that the girls are alone on the streets. I know lots of fathers with kids and an ex. They still pay for them but often the kids don't want to see the father and/or don't like the father. If someone really likes kids and is ready to spend lots of time with the kids and is able to afford them and has a loving wife then please go ahead. If not then don't. And don't have children with the idea in the back of your head that they will take care of you when you are old. They won't! Or ar least you can't rely on the fact that they want to take care of you.

So what do you think happend that for many years nothing was reported and then suddenly 14 of them remember something. And it seems all 14 remember is suddenly within one week or so. Strange. Personally I think it's good when the public things something like: let's follow these cases and make sure they are followed up. But I hate when people come to conclusions without any evidence. I am sure there is somewhere a playbook: How to destroy your opponent.

No problem. You can tell us you remember her name.

But then again: Noi, Nit, Pim, Aey, and a few more names covers already 50% of them. ????

Do you have one of those phones with extra storage capacity?

The problem is that many of the batteries which are sold have brand name stickers on them. And that's about the only thing which they have in common with those brands. It is very difficult to find out which of the batteries are "real".

I bought some from this shop. They seem to be alright. But to be fair I don't have much comparison. https://www.lazada.co.th/shop/vapcellthailand https://www.vapcelltech.com/

Who is blaming "the women"? Some of us question some women's motives. Obviously there are bad guys who abuse and rape women. And I think almost all of us want that those bad guys go to jail. I didn't read any comment here where anybody writes that a guilty guy should not go to jail. On the other hand many of us also know that some women lie. Some want money, some want to be able to play the victim game, some just want to ruin some guys. So how about we all try to see both possible sides? Some guys are bad and should go to jail. And some women lie. Both exist. And in many cases, with limited information we are not able to judge who is lying and who is guilty.

One thing which this thread shows is that many Thai girls and women are great actresses. One day they speak with one of those do-gooders: It's so horrible. I cry every day. I only do it to help my family. Please help me and rescue me. Next day: Wow, you are such a strong guy. It's wonderful with you. Will you come and see me tomorrow again? Another day: I am self employed. I sell things on the internet. Sex work? No! I would never do that.

I wonder where your insider wisdom comes from. I am sure some don't like the job. But on the other hand many do it for many years. And they have other options. And in case nobody told you: In farang oriented nightlife business there are very few pimps. Most girls do what they do because they want to make a lot of money. And they don't suffer half as much as you imagine.

I think for the purpose of this thread and especially for you I should tell you that my preferred pronounces are: they / them / theirs. Now you work out whatever x-splaining that is.

I am sure there are some guys who think they give prostitutes a good time and multiple orgasms and all that. But I am also sure that the majority of guys is realistic enough to know they do business. You provide A and I pay B. It is not required that A enjoys her job. Many people in many jobs don't enjoy their work. They work to make money. In my experience there are very few girls who are really desperate for money and that is why they so what they do. Many, I am sure the vast majority, do it because they just make a lot more money with this kind or work compared to i.e. working in a factory or 7/11. It's their choice. And if it would be so horrible then why do so much work? I.e. 4 or 5 customers per month should be enough to make as much money as in a minimum wage job. So they could work i.e. for one week and the rest of the week go to school or learn a proper job or something like this. How many of those victims in Pattaya do that? And do you think a 22 year old girl can only have a good time with a 22 year old man? By that definition I am sure 90% of people out there are unhappy.

And why are you so sure that all those men are guilty? Are there also any women out there who like to ruin the lives of men? And are there also women out there who like to make a lot of money from accusing guys? Like: I can go to every media and accuse you in every TV show, or you give me money. It seems for you it's easy. Women are always victims. Men are always scum. It must be wonderful to live in such a clear defined world. Unfortunately it doesn't have much resemblance to reality.

I remember only a few of them. If now a women came out and said she had sex with me 10 years ago then likely I wouldn't know. Maybe I had, maybe not. If she would tell me I met her in place A and went with her to hotel B then that will help me to determine if it might have happened. I remember at least the places which I visited regularly. But even then I wouldn't remember for sure. Independent from any women some time ago a person asked me about work which I did about 15 years ago. I worked on that project for some time and I thought I remember it. I remembered that the company supplied me with data in a specific format and then I had to make it work with that format. Recently I looked up my emails from that time and I found out: The company asked me which format I want. I told them and they supplied me with that. Pretty much the opposite of what I remembered. Is my memory in general worse than that of other people? I don't think so. And it's a proven fact that many people forget lots of events. And many "remember" things which in real life never happened. And this happens to everyone even without any bad intentions. So if you think you remember everything then you might be the big exception and maybe you have a fabulous memory. But then, maybe not...

Why don't you just ask them? http://nanahotel.co.th/contact-us.php
