  1. Looking at some of the girls at NANA I would say that a lot are not all that desperate. they are looking for a way to make money for the family; some are even I think in the beginning looking for MR Right.
  2. All you have to do is look at everyone in the bars along the soi and you see that that is correct. Most guys going in are either looking for interest sake or looking for maybe the great one night to make me feel good. If you are on holiday, it is a lot easier to get a girlfriend for the week you are there at NANA or PP. Either way, you are going to pay for it and with the BG you know that you are going to get some exercise.
  3. There is all sorts of Love and romance at PP cowboy and NANA. just ask the girls all the ones I met tell me that they will love me short time or if I pay more they will love me long time
  4. The best way to find a line in or live out would be for the wife to ask around. Her friends will know someone, Do not mention how much you are willing to pay. You may find that you do not need a live in you may have someone in the neighbourhood looking for work.
  5. only shows at Patpong are ping pong and we know how they work The difference between these bars and what OP is looking for is that the go-go bars here are more stand on the stage and let horny farang choose who they want to buy drink and take home. Sat down with a few girls I know on PP and explained to them table dancing and private shows and they could not believe it. girls that have the moves if you could open a bar like that would make more money in a night then they do in a month They turned to mamasan and asked about it and she told them no can do.
  6. You were not here in 2019-2020. many Thais were already wearing masks due to the pollution in the air. Were there a lot of people yes. How do I know first saw their second it was a thriving business for many. It was not nationwide wearing but Thais were wearing masks The problem with COVID in the schools was not going to be stopped by wearing masks but the system had to do something. There were/are parents who even though their child has a member of the family that has covid still sending their children to school and not notifying anyone. I think it is going to be interesting to see how many schools still require masks
  7. Prayut could not have run as leader in the next election anyway. As long as they have the 8-year limit it will in fact help change the head at the top. As stated though the problem is not the PM he really has little control. It is the people under him and the people on the outside that back the party. Just as the Dem p[arty before it this PPP is built by the money people and the military. What is gong to be interesting is how the little parties that aided the PPP do in the next election. Will the people still support them or will they go to a new party that is not PPP affiliated? That is the only way that you are going to stop Prawit from becoming PM. Remember PPP does not have to win the election for him to be PM they just have to come in second or a really close 3rd.
  8. People lived a life that was more stress free and had more freedom to do other things. I used to read magazines and newsPAPERS. On the subway or in the coffee shops. I used to complete work projects. Enjoy the scenery and meet people. Thais had a better more relaxing day before smartphone. Mainly because when yoyleft home or work. You left home or work. Computers were supposed to make life easier. As someone who lived and worked before PC I can honestly say I would gladly go back to those days. Today most lives are glued and dependant on computers. Before we had to actually talk to each other and think.
  9. I would not say most corrupt. I think central America and some African countries have that title. I would agree that it is corrupt enough that like many countries money talks. How do you change their identities when passports are needed and they have to report to immigration. No mention is made of their status so I would imagine they are more interested in staying here than going back to Russia That is probably exactly what they are looking for to stay here. If it was Mafia they would leave them alone until they got back to mother Russia
  10. They should keep the seating limits and distance. Nothing to do with covid, but it will cut down the number of students in the class. Will be interesting to see how many students still wear masks
  11. Ok first I am surprised and happy that the PPP are in re election mode and finally doing something BUT can someone please tell me when the u.s. banned abortions. The Dobbs ruling made it a state issue because the federal government never made it law. Many states are looking at 15 weeks yes some have banned it but it has ultimately been put to the people of each state to decide what is best for their state. At no time was abortion banned nationality
  12. Agreed but money is the issue The universities are charging through the nose and have no control over them. They know that the kids can get the money from the government so they can keep raising fees. There has to be a method of setting a max that universities can raise prices much as there are limits on how much a landowner can raise rent. Students need to learn more about universities like Open and realize that they can get their degree and have a job on the outside. At least in Western society, kids can get part-time jobs and earn some money to help with the costs. Parents earn enough to put away money for their kids. Universities are restricted and regulated so they have to be providing a functional graduate. The government has to step in with programs that will assist worthy grads in lowering their debt. An example would be that teachers if they qualify with marks could have a certain portion of their student loan forgiven if they go to Issan or other areas in need of teachers to teach for a set period of time.
  13. He is also going to be busy trying to get everything he needs to be done before the GOP takes over in January. The November meeting may be the only good thing for him November.
  14. That is not the right thing. The right thing is to limit the number of people that qualify for loans and to limit the increases that universities and colleges can charge. The problem for a lot of students is they get loans to go to universities that have o standing, and they will never be qualified to get a job with the degree. The other issue is that they give loans to all students even if they are not qualified or cannot complete the courses. Somchai goes to the University of mickey mouse in Southern Thailand and gets a degree in Aerospace engineering. Do you think he will get a job considering that he never sees a plane? Kids in the states are getting loans so that they can get a degree in undersea basket weaving. how much money do you think is the annual pay for an undersea basket weaver? Here is an article with the highly employable course offered at American universities How to watch TV Feminist studies through Beyonce Close Encounters of a Multidisciplinary Kind Surviving The Coming Zombie Apocalypse There is more but you have to read this to get the picture https://plexuss.com/n/underwater-basket-weaving-beyonce-college
  15. I think that there is a lot of truth to this article. That being said I think that to solely associate it to marijuana use since the decriminalization is wrong. The user may have added and been the tipping point for some people with borderline issues. Therefore the number of people being admitted has grown. While it is not a good thing in some aspects it is a good thing as people that ay have needed help are now getting it. As to addiction Marijuana use can lead to the development of problem use, known as a marijuana use disorder, which takes the form of addiction in severe cases. Recent data suggest that 30% of those who use marijuana may have some degree of marijuana use disorder.18 People who begin using marijuana before the age of 18 are four to seven times more likely to develop a marijuana use disorder than adults.19 Marijuana use disorders are often associated with dependence—in which a person feels withdrawal symptoms when not taking the drug. People who use marijuana frequently often report irritability, mood and sleep difficulties, decreased appetite, cravings, restlessness, and/or various forms of physical discomfort that peak within the first week after quitting and last up to 2 weeks.20,21 Marijuana dependence occurs when the brain adapts to large amounts of the drug by reducing production of and sensitivity to its own endocannabinoid neurotransmitters.22,23 https://nida.nih.gov/publications/research-reports/marijuana/marijuana-addictive It is also worth noting that cigarette use, in the beginning, was treated the same with people saying it was better than drinking. That there were no issues with cigarette smoke and that it was not addictive. The old Mary Jane form the 70's did not have the strength or additives that the new stuff does. We are not going to know the major effects of mass use of it until a few years down the road. Just the same as Football and wrestling were harmless. CTE It takes time and people use or abuse this for a long time to find out if there are issues.
  16. Thais have been wearing masks for as long as I have been in Thailand (12 years). They wear them for air pollution and when the cold season starts. As to kids wearing them in schools. I have seen this past few months students that have covid still attending class one school had to shut down because there were so many students with covid. I think schools will keep the mandate for a while longer. Until there rate of covid in students drops. The same as they did when the flu was going around. Thais will continue to wear masks for the foreseeable future just as possible protection against anyone that has a cold, or anything that is airborne. Especially if they take the BTS where people can be crammed in. As to changes in Thailand, the biggest change will be the ability for Thais to protest and meet in groups. besides that nothing
  17. My father god rest his soul just before he died lived in a 1 bedroom apartment, smoked like a chimney and really did not care about his life at all. I, unfortunately, was out of the country but a friend used to go visit him and give him <deleted> once3 a month. The friend made him clean the living room and bedroom and take out the garbage. For most of his life he had always had either someone else to clean for him or was in the military where they would not let him make a mess. The problem these days is that no one is taught personal responsibility. Yes, my mom used to make my bed and do my laundry BUT I still had to clean my room to their standards. Today kids have mom and dad coddling them Mom may mention that Johnny is s a slob but they never make Johny do anything. Same in Thailand parents do not teach responsibility schools do not teach responsibility and the government does ot teach it. Add to that thai girl that are pretty get treated like princesses and can do no wrong.
  18. Kingston, Ontario Canada but it would still work in London. The fact that there are more renters than properties means that landlords can be more picky. Rent only to parents means that you have someone that has money that you can sue for damages. In Kingston parents liked it because it mean that if there was another means to keep track of their child's actions. Landlords keep a close eye and inspect the buildings a lot more
  19. Landlords in Kingston rent out to student parents. That way the parents are liable for anything that goes wrong. Also, it gives the landlord the right to report anything happening in the apartment to the parents directly. Works like a charm when mom and dad and their credit rating is on the line.
  20. I also had a tenant that left the house a disaster. The only thing you can do is get a dumpster and fill it. I used a snow shovel. The problem is that they leave in a hurry. The advantage that you have in he west is that people ask for references and usually call the last landlord. Had one tenant that gave me as a reference and referred to her as the late great X. Eventually the other guy caught on. Everything I said about her was positive except that i kept referring to her as deceased
  21. I am confused. You are on a student visa which means you are going to school. But you are not able to contact the school because it is in Samui ayyou are in Pattaya My suggestion is listen to ubonjoe Phone them. Ask for your passport ad vvvvv isr the he em that they have 5 days then report it stolen and advise the embassy where you think it is.
  22. Well it will be interesting to see how her family survives now that they have no money and the police are watching.
  23. Bottom line is that this is what the mother was looking for it was never about finding someone guilty. It was a case of a mother that had a beautiful daughter that she groomed to be a cash cow for her that lost that cow and needed a way to replace it. Her daughter's death was never a tragedy but was a way for her to become wealthy.
  24. If I might ask were you in school in the 70s actually were you alive in the 70s? I can from experience that a lot of kids started with Pot and then thought this is not so bad and tried other stuff. Was it rampant no did every pot smoker go heavier no As to the legality to sell, I stand corrected seems a different rule stopped it BUT my point is still that there really is o rule stopping the sale. If you think everyone selling pot is licenced go to NANA and walk along the street.
