I am not trans and not gay and not even non-binary or something like that. So I have to have something that separates me from the crowd. ????

There is an easy solution. ????

Shouldn't that be in the gay section of this forum?

"I am a REAL person." Are you sure?

Look at what he did in the last decades and look what Yingluck did. You should be able to see that there is a difference. And what does this have to do with Prayut? It's about the Shinawatra crime family.

Phuket is a ripoff since decades. Does anybody expect that the locals decide something like: Nobody likes this place anymore. Let's be nice, get rid of the crazy prices and make everybody feel welcome? Or is it more like: We didn't make any money in Covid times. Now those stupid suckers come back. We have to charge them more to compensate for our losses...

And better inform yourself about all the relevant rules. I.e. with the transfer must be a comment like "for purchase of property in Thailand".

You must received the money in Thailand in another currency, not THB! The exchange must happen in Thailand. These are, as far as I know, the rules.

Imagine you are a man in Pattaya and you want to have some fun. And what do you do? Ride motorcycles together with other men in Pattaya. Losers!

Is is and always was Thaksin's party. There is no way to take Thaksin out of it. If politicians want to make sure that nobody thinks they are connected to Thaksin then they should stay away from that party. But obviously lots of Thai politicians still want to be friends with the fugitive criminal.

There was a time when I would have laughed and say "impossible". That time has passed...

Some terms are just used by people because they are used by many other people. I.e. if I talk to Thai people about "my farang friend" they will have an idea about (part of that) person. If I would say he is a westerner or an American or a Dutch guy or a white guy that would be more complicated. That's why I call a farang a farang. And then there is obviously the question how often people use a term. I.e. recently I wanted to talk to a black American guy about racism. I see him from time to time and we are friendly but he is not "my friend". I was not sure if I could/should use the term "black guy" because other words were used for many years until someone decided that now that word is racist and can't be used anymore. All that PC <deleted> makes thinks unnecessary complicated. OneMoreFarang

It angers me that now it's impossible to not see one day of news without gender this and gender that "news". Is that really so important? How many people are affected by this? 1% Maybe 3%? Imagine all those activists and politicians would use all that time for important things like how to make life better for all of us and not just the 1% who shout loudest?

Basically it's all the same: exchanging body fluids ????

Maybe have a look here: https://th.rs-online.com/web/c/?searchTerm=din That shop is relative expensive but they have some things others don't have. And they have a reasonable good filter function.

Somehow I still have hope that one day Thais will vote for smart and not so corrupt people like Abhisit. Please don't laugh, it must be one of those little boy "the world will get better" syndromes.

It would be interesting to know how many people had all the legal requirements and just wanted to have somebody who helped them to get it done and how many had i.e. no money in the bank, etc. If all legal requirement were fulfilled then I am sure everything will be sorted out. In the other cases - maybe not so much, or only after paying a big "fine".

Do you touch any girls in those bars? Do you think anybody else touched them before? What is a higher risk?

I fully agree A long time ago Yingluck said that she is not interested in politics. And then her big brother convinced her to run for PM - with no relevant experience. She was elected and she got her chance. She could have worked for the people. But then she showed that her main interest was to whitewash her brother. The rest is history. If another Shinawatra will be elected we can be pretty sure history will repeat itself. Maybe she should think about what a wonderful comfortable super rich life she could have ...

One of the crypto fanboys in this forum compared it with gold. Maybe the robber misunderstood that somehow.

The short summary is: wear a mask. Because basically all Thais wear a mask and they will look at you like an alien if you don't do it. Today I was in a good hotel. At the entrance I ask the security guard, who was wearing a mask, if I need a mask. He told me: no. A minute later I used the lift. The lift stopped one floor up and I heard the guy on that floor: No, don't go in there, the guy has no mask...

Something like this. But normally there is only one coffee cup and that is empty since an hour.

Oh No!

That is definitely not a nice job... Sometimes when I see such a group I go to the next 7/11 and buy them some soft drinks. It's not much but I think they should see that "the public" appreciates their work.

I was writing comments over there some time ago. I don't know if that changed, but when I was still active it took hours before post were published. And if I was up early and commented maybe at 6am then it was never published. It seems all comments before a certain time were just deleted. And then obviously the same posters again and again and again and no ignore-button. I gave up with them.
