  1. IF they ever finish it, I'd look into riding it once from BKK to Beijing just for fun and the scenery. As for the war conspiracy theorists, a single rail line wouldn't be a military issue as a single airstrike would halt everything and take 3-5 years to repair. Anyone remember previetnam? Black ops being run into Laos and se China.

  3. Bob, after reading your many posts I'm torn on your theme song. Help a follower out brother: OR
  4. What ever happened to the Butterfly Club? It used to be outside Pats but I'm sure the city has swallowed it up by now. Was run by an expat oilfield worker and his northern Thai wife.
  5. Global Studies attract people stupid enough to let themselves be experimented on for a small amount of money - nuff said. OP - Hey George - good to see the rumors of your demise are untrue. On The Topic - My older brother gave me my first joint for my 12th birthday and have partaken ever since (64 now) The things he describes in the video existed before he ever found weed - genetics, poor parenting, low self-esteem. Personally, I've always found getting high a useful escape from the horrors of reality, even for the short periods it lasts for. Later added alcohol to extend the escape. Used to sleep like a baby after a few beers and a couple of qualudes. Time, society and laws made by people who shouldn't be making laws slowed my consumption levels but weed sure made it easier to tolerate stupidity. Since quitting everything but cigarettes I find I smoke twice as much, mostly because it requires moving away from people to partake. On a side note, it would be nice to see a thread where opinions are stated w/o a personal bash against any who differ: "I think this so others who don't are ...." as opposed to: "I think this, what do you think?"
  6. Seems most on here are always complaining about the corruption in Thailand and when someone with teeth starts doing something about it you switch sides and cry foul with those that ARE corrupt. Big Joke, if you read this you can come and stay at my house. Only downside is, if he proves and convicts all those in power who are corrupt Thailand will have to bring in farmers to fill the 100,000 new vacancies in the government and then we'd run short of rice.
  7. Never heard of a show out of Detroit but Pawn Stars is out of Las Vegas. OP - Depending on the amount you're talking about, I'd book a luxury suite on Viking Cruises or Carnival Cruises or a combination for a year. They're all inclusive (save gambling and shopping) and would only cost you around $5,000-$6,000 a month. Next, I'd book a seat/space on a SpaceX flight to the space station and stay a couple of months (would probably be bored by then). Since my wife and I live in her families village I would work with the village elders, the temple and the school to make sure all the children get a good education for free to take some of the burden off the families. Updated books, sports equipment and science equipment as well as good teachers cost quite a bit. With the elders and monks overseeing things it would hedge the bet against corrupt government directors as you could designate the school as private with 90% Thai management. (you would be the remaining 10%) Just some thoughts since you asked.
  8. OP - stop me if you've heard this 1 Elderly Jewish Gentleman goes to a restaurant and orders a meal The waiter brings the first course EJG calls the waiter back and says "Taste the soup." Waiter asks "What's wrong with it?" EJG "taste the soup" Waiter "Is it too hot, too cold?" EJG "Taste the soup" Waiter "Ok, fine. Ah, where's the spoon?" EJG "AHA"
  9. Wonder if they'll be adding a speed checkout line for 3 crimes or less?
  10. My wife and I are currently going through the process now. The ONLY 2 ways for her to live in the states for 5+ years is via green card and gaining US citizenship which requires a green card first. The people at the SSA office here told me that she can only claim my benefits for the rest of her life if she remains living in the US with a valid green card OR becomes a citizen and returns to the states every year. ALL time spent here on a tourist visa does NOT count towards the 5 years. It took us 1 year (with the help of a lawyer) to get her green card. (people have done it all on their own but 1 misstep and you start all over again) It also makes a difference on the forms filed whether you and she are in the states or in Thailand so research it well. (we found out we were doing it wrong which is why we brought in a lawyer) If you're going to do it here bring 100x the proof of marriage that you normally need at Thai immigration including pictures from your 1st date to last night's supper. Have 5-10 friends/family with firsthand knowledge of your relationship write support letters for you as well. I for 1, will never complain about "That 1 more form" Thai immigration asks for when we are done and finally move back home. Good Luck
  11. OP - keep an eye on this and be ready to run out and buy when it dips. https://ycharts.com/indicators/gold_price_in_thai_baht
  12. another thought would be to get a new PS5 tower. They are generally built better than standard PC towers and can do all the same things. You can order them with Linux OS installed. They also come with the best internal workings as they're designed to be used for high speed graphics. Just a thought.
  13. Bought mine on Lazada - arrived with no extra charges and fully loaded with requested software in English.
  14. Some of you may (or may not) remember, back around 2001/2002 there used to be a really nice '63/'64 black Corvette parked on the side of the road for sale heading from Pattaya to Jomtien about 1/2 way down the hill. When I lived in Hua Hin I used to see King Rama 9 enjoying an outing driving his '70 Camero along the beach road south to Pran Buri and back under heavy army escort. It would seem that classics have always been allowed - maybe the new government is just looking to increase the pocket money.
  15. If he was married to the lady he was slapping around then don't be too sad for him as he most likely no longer has a condo or savings anymore.
  16. By all means, enlighten those of us whom are obviously below your level of expertise in the lives of middle-class Thai women.
  17. You can't Bob. Let's face it, you'll always and forever be known as the foreigner that was groped by the mailman while trying to bang his wife's' friends. You're a legend, settle in and enjoy the role you studly guy you.
  18. Again, reading things into the post with a preconceived notion - no where did I say groping is fine - what I DID say is the story is all one-sided so far yet the "Hang-'em High" squad is out in full force. IF this whole story had occurred in Pattaya it would be viewed differently but Pattaya doesn't have the market cornered on false accusations by Thai females to scam foreign males, by foreign males misbehaving, by prostitution that (doesn't exist in Thailand), by ladyboy gangs, etc. It's just more famous for it.
  19. There's a new product out in the states that looks like an over-sized mascara for men to use on the head and facial hair. Part of the woke generation I guess. I think my natural wisps of grey look just fine and dandy.
  20. One's illegal and one's admitting to your mistake and correcting it like a man. Tough enough choice that you had to even ask?
  21. would you please post a list of the places where this would be considered normal. I'd like to book a groping tour.
  22. Sure are a lot of you on here suddenly believing in the innocence and purity of 2 Thai women out on the prowl on Khoa San Rd at night. I get it that most of this happens in Pattaya but nobody goes to Khoa San Rd late in the evening/night for the food. Why are there NO pictures to back-up the claims of not drinking and not dressed provocatively? Yet these were 2 stringently made points by the 2 in the original police report. Also, according to the twitter post, her English is better than many on here.
