Yes I do that sometimes but I did not have my phone with me.

Here's one to start off. I went into a stationers shop for a packet of envelopes, looked through the whole shop and could not find any anywhere. the assistant could not speak English, but surely the first thing you would notice would be envelopes and writing pads beside all the pens and pencils, of which there were plenty.

Thai immigration is more into paperwork than computers. It will be a lot harder for them to sift through all their paperwork, as most of them are not that computer literate.

What about the unelected soldier PM who took over the country in an illegal coup and stayed for 9 years? Goodness knows how much his own personal bank accounts rose in that time.

I worked mostly as a musician, I both enjoyed it and was interested in it, that is why I travelled to Memphis on three occasions to see Graceland, and the Grand ole Opry in Nashville, and was invited by a band performing in a Nashville country club to join them on stage for a few songs.

I doubt if you will see any more beer bellies in any country in the world than Pattaya. The reasons for that I would think is pretty obvious.

Neither do I, just like the Russian- Ukraine war it just gives the capitalists an excuse to raise prices all over the world.

Things started to get worse after the illegal coup in 2014, and with soldiers involved with todays government led by another unelected PM things will not get much better.

"I don't find men attractive to look at." I certainly don't, no man is more straight than me, but I can tell if a guy is goodlooking or not. ie a young Elvis was very goodlooking but Elton John (Peltin Elton) is pot ugly.

"Who hasn't?" I haven't, I still say any guy who knowingly has sex with a ladyboy must have homosexual tendencies.

No guys who are into ladyboys are straight.

I used to enjoy Blue Bloods, but got fed up waiting for the credits to end at the start of the show and just stopped watching it.

That is very true, I got them back together before, but over 30,000Bt????

I renewed my passport in the UK, had a re entry permit but had to leave for Thailand before I got my old one back and re entered with a Visa exempt. I had a photo of my re entry permit in my phone and immigration would not accept it. That Darren guy at Key Visa charged me over 30.000 Baht to fix it.

Parties?? He probably would not get any invites.

The Practice, that was a good one, for me a toss up between that and LA Law.

Likewise.

and the taxis, trains and sidewalks not getting peed, cr@pped on and covered in spittals.

That is a good example of what happens when you have unelected soldiers who took over Thailand in an illegal coup, running the country.

Mines are LA Law. The Virginian. Dallas. Even allowing for Linda Greys dreadful acting.

I'm into Western movies, but from the fifties and sixties, not modern ones.

To Hell and Back. Audie Murphy. The Charge at Feather River. Guy Madison. Flaming Star. Elvis.

If when I was say 16 my dad told me to be home at 10.30pm, I would just have laughed at him, so what chance do you think the police would have had?

Thanks a lot. I will keep this very helpful post in my archives for the next time I go to Pattaya.

Forget about the rights and wrongs involving Thaksin, at least unlike the present PM and the soldier before him, he was elected by the Thai electorate.
