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.

Bought mine on Lazada - arrived with no extra charges and fully loaded with requested software in English.

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.

Apparently, you know absolutely nothing about the life of middleclass Thai women. 

By all means, enlighten those of us whom are obviously below your level of expertise in the lives of middle-class Thai women.

Some recent developments have happened at the smith household.

 

I have now resigned myself to a life in Thailand,

and failing that a life in South East Asia in general.

 

I have some questions.

 

I want to be a better Thai person.

I want to try to assimilate as much as humanely possible into this culture.

Maybe one day I will renounce my citizenship of birth and become 100% Thai.

 

Has anyone got any pointers?

what can I do to be the best Thai that I can currently be?

should I become a monk?

help those in need?

study Buddhism? 

 

any info from anyone that has extensive experience of assimilating into Thai culture would be greatly appreciated.

 

bob.

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.

Personally I wouldn't grope women on the street uninvited, no matter how they were dressed. Most real men grew out of that sort of behaviour by the time they were 16 years old. 

 

It sounds like you think it's ok because they were in KSR and MIGHT have been wearing sexy clothes. That's a weird way of thinking IMO 🚩

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.

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.

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?

At the end of the day, there are lots of western men who come here and are unaware that this behaviour is normal in some places,

would you please post a list of the places where this would be considered normal. I'd like to book a groping tour.

Getting punches while sexually harassing people isn't assault. It is called serves you right.

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.

Because I'll be graduating in a month and have to cancel the visa soon, I want to extend my stay as I look for jobs or prepare for the examinations required for the master's degree. The start date also would probably be months after I graduate. 

try and get a job at a language school that offers both English and Japanese - you work teaching one and get the Non-B visa and study the other during your time off.

Try the Thai-Japanese Center in BKK

Self defence is not assault.

What would you do if he groped your butt?

there's still no proof of the groping - police are correct in wanting to check independent CCTV footage before making the same assumption.

During that period, I'll also be looking for a job or a master's program abroad.

Get the job and the Non-B that goes with it (you can always quit later) or find your master's course abroad and leave. Why look for problems?

According to the Twitter user, one of the two foreigners grouped her friend’s bottom, prompting them to confront him and demand an apology. The Thai woman said the foreign man eventually apologised to her and her friend but both he and his friend continued to act playfully and giggle in front of her camera.

 

After the man apologised, the Twitter user said she turned her back on the foreign perpetrators and was about to leave the scene but one of them touched her bottom. The woman could heard yelling at the men when the foreigner assaulted her.

 

“What the <deleted>!”

 

She said this foreign man repeated the sexual assault even though they had just apologised for sexually assaulting her friend

and her twitter post:

"Yall know him? 21:00 At khaosan road these 2 guys came up to my friend & one of them groped her butt. Instead of being guilty he was giggling and She then proceed to give him a couple punches. The other bald guy was trying stop me from filming, they walked away"

! story for the police and 1 story for the "Outraged Netizens"

Seems there was an assault, just not the 1 reported.

All you need is a smart tv, REALLY good internet (at least 500mg down speed) an HDMI cable and a good CPU.

Use the smart tv to search for available streaming services and the CPU to search for good tv sites (like referenced above) and you can watch anything you like for not much money (mostly the internet and original outlay for the tv and cpu).

You can even use this setup to make free video calls home. AND, if the tv supports picture in picture, you can video call your friends back home while watching your sports.

Only other things you'd need are a GREAT recliner and a fridge full of beer.

ps. wireless mouse and keyboard so you can search from the recliner.

a mouse with no balls gets tired quickly on the wheel.

A couple of gun shots into the sky would have soon stopped that carry on.

 

Peaceful, fun loving people the locals are....

Quite a few gun shots into the crowd would have netted better results - sick in the head - roll the army in and send them to reeducation camps like they did the leaders of the red/yellow riots.

Some of you touched on the (probable) reason for expanded searches for sex: Covid. The lock down blocked most access to Mia Nois, Giks and gfs and left everyone stranded at home with the old wifey and the kids.

At the beginning time frame (Nov '22) we were still in lock down without a foreseeable end in sight and coordinating live video chat with open bathroom times wasn't as easy as having said "side women" making and posting videos for their guys.

Why do you think there was such a notable run on toilet paper sales above all else? You didn't really think being locked down was causing a massive increase in the need to poop did you?

I'd bet a rerun of the same study from Dec '23 to Dec '24 would show a slowing trend in searching those same sites.

we had condom machines and "morning after Pill" at the nursery if needed.

?!?!?! Really?!?! GEEZ, and I thought I was young groping my first boobie at 12

I blame the security guard. If he had told them "No, you can't sit here. It's private property." then the whole thing would have never happened.

Is this where the wife swapping goes on?

No, that's at a family reunion.

Get the single entry Non-O every year then get a multiple reentry permit (basically the same thing and price)

As for the TM-30, check this thread

hope you like seafood.
