Recent trip to UK with Qatar air- A very sad, heartbreaking visit.
Kinnock replied to Scouse123's topic in General Topics
You suggested the rest of us should post links to prove we're right - you figure it out. https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/2063980/british-cities-risk-going-feral-expert-warns-looming-mass-disorder?utm_term=Autofeed&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwY2xjawKtclpleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHmmTtLYOgT339m1qg2OCNwshIOvsbYI-ek9vC4-xXFu6x1b_MoAaBNMX2Ggf_aem_pyRloOFRHgZ1wRaXkeyP2g#Echobox=1748997611 How about posting a link explaining how illegal immigration, rising prices, failing UK industry and inner city wastelands are a benefit?- 383 replies

I don't understand why some posters feel compelled to defend the obvious decline of the UK? Unless you choose a few specific areas, such as the Cotswolds, North Yorkshire or the Lake District, most UK towns and cities are depressing wastelands of closed businesses, porn brokers, pound shops and illegal immigrant hostels. And when travelling via the Islamic Borough of Heathrow, the issues are really highlighted. Have you ever arrived into Suvarnabhumi and been greeted by a Pakistani Immigration Officer welcoming you to Thailand? I only go to the UK for essential visits, it's too depressing.- 383 replies

My office was in Central Bangkok, so I lived for 11 years in lower Sukhumvit. I liked it for the malls, interesting bars, live music venues, restaurants, parks, coffee shops, Sunday Brunch in nice hotels and the public transport. Hated the traffic and the pollution .... had a constant dry cough for years. But all other cities in Thailand are very second rate compared to Bangkok, so I still have a small condo in Bangkok (but not in the centre now), and also have a house near the sea - to get the best of both worlds. I also like the countryside, but wouldn't want to cut all ties with the big city.

My wonderful Missus always makes me a cooked breakfast when we're not travelling. While she's seen a Full English on our last UK trip, she tries to create a (marginally) healthier alternative. Today's dish included salmon with the eggs, toast and fresh veg .....

... by building railroads, establishing legal structures and making slavery illegal. The destruction happened after we left.

Nonesense ..... few of them do any work. We're not talking about Polish farm workers or Caribbean bus drivers .... these are Muslim layabouts.

.... It's Koh Samed. Not too far from Bangkok for short breaks.

99% luck. She was managing a small hotel we were using for business guests .... I was struck by her exotic looks and wicked sense of humour. I think the fact I was not looking for a partner helped. Made me appear more self confident than I normally would be around a beautiful woman, and the Thai work culture helped too ... as the team was running around looking after the 'boss', which created the false illusion of 'power'. Age gap is 20 years ... she was late 20's when we met.
-
Interesting point of view .... and mine did say that if we'd had kids, she'd probably love them more than me.
-
With hindsight I should have knocked her up when we first met .... but she's over 40 now, so we think it's probably too late.

Photo from last year ..... swimsuit is under the stylish Singha shirt 😃 Still a good 10 after 15 years together .... in my view anyway Looking at my photos from when we first met .... she was a good 11 out of 10. But she's more than looks alone .... helps run our business and is caring and loving.
-
I wasn't actively looking for a 'forever' partner, but was having casual relationships with several girls who were more like friends. I think she found me .... she saw me and decided I was the one. She later said I treated her like a sex object for the first year, but she was going to look after me so well I'd never let her go.
-
I also went for looks, but she turned out to be caring, intelligent and faithful ... and after 15 years she's still a good '10' in my eyes. Definitely my favourite part of Thailand.

You don't have to FLY to get to Koh Samui
Kinnock replied to CharlieH's topic in Thailand Travel Forum
The Seahorse ferry from Bangkok or Sattahip is also a good option. You can take your car or bike, and avoid running the gauntlet of Rama II. -
Health Covid-19's XEC Variant Spreads Like Wildfire, Says Thai Health Ministry
Kinnock replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Yes, but that's partly driven by health insurance that only pays out if you stay overnight, and the lack GP surgeries. -
How do you feel about Thailand being clearly far-right?
Kinnock replied to JoseThailand's topic in General Topics
I don't believe the Western contructs of Right and Left politics are applicable in Asia. Putting your own citizen's rights before foreigners does not make you far right, and not accepting illegal entry by non working people who expect hand outs is just common sense ..... and the law.- 134 replies

I think tradition, convention and peer/family pressure pushed many people into the accepted man and wife, heterosexual relationship, but now people (in countries not ruled by religion) have a choice. So perhaps it's a natural rebalancing of relationships? For me, the hetero, exclusive, man/woman partnership works well - we take largely 'tradional' roles where she cares for me and I provide financial support for her, but she's also a skilled business partner, so she supports in some less 'traditional wife' roles to help build our business .... but the man/wife dynamic is not for everyone. There's also the heterosexual attraction factor ..... she's still super hot after 14 years together, so even if she didn't cook and care for me, add value to our business, I'd still want her around for more basic needs 😀

I don't know if anyone has the data, but I feel AseanNow is less active than the old ThaiVisa, but I believe the moderation is now better as bickering posts are controlled whereas real discussions are allowed to run. I try to avoid the US political post where possible, as they tend to dominate the forum, and they are invariably of a low 'school playground' level of debate.
