Move on. You're boring everyone.

I'm not bored.

My kid's school costs 50,000bht per term and is not international, its an English Program school.  We'll see how it goes. They teach both English and Thai.

I've always told myself my next bike will be a Harley. Undoubtedly a used one, but the looks and price of the new Triumph Bobber may change that.

To some the roar of a Harley is irritating, to others it's poetry.

actually it isn't yours,you have paid in to support the pensioners when you were young in the belief that the next generation will pay for you,whether they are as generous to you as you were to the old depends on politics, demographics and if you are an American, on a semi literate wealthy orange who doesn't like the old and poor.  

 

 

It will be mine as soon as I register,  from what I see it will be business as usual.

Think about leftism next month when you get your social security.  Should make more sense to you that way.

Social security benefits are the ones I've been paying into since I was 15, now after 47 yrs of paying my fair share I should somehow align myself with the liberals because it's my turn to collect what's mine. Absolutely ludicrous.

Food stamp fraud has been occurring since the system started and well before FOX News was a glimmer in Roger Ailes eye. I don't know the exact level (high, very high, all time high) but it is common.

I can tell you from first hand knowledge that it exists. Maybe not to the level of the past. Before when you had the Viet Nam era refugees, they perfected fraud to new level. Kids who were 18 became 12 yrs old, married parents became single, orphans suddenly became someone's kid, folks who were 50 yr. old suddenly became 65, Then you had the disability angle. All the while entire family working hard for cash. Food stamps were sold of to the Asian stores for cash.

When will working Americans realize Republicans and Trump are not interested in them? Democrats are the only ones who support helping those less fortunate than Republicans rich class.

The Dems are not interested in helping the working class, they only want to grow their voting base. How?? By getting as many people to rely on Gov handouts, help the illegals and so forth.

What if there are no jobs. What if you have a low paying job and bills like mortgages, fuel costs etc. take up all the money?

This is where getting rid of illegals comes into play. Used to be they stayed off the radar by taking seasonal farm jobs, now they're everywhere, in every industry driving wages down.

Bronson never used one of those sissy looking boxes. Ahahahhaa

Washington Post fake news?

Could you name an article that originated from them that has been proven as fake?

Something that was retracted and apologized for doesn't count.

You understand this vicious cycle in neverending, me calling the WP fake news is quite possibly just talk, Possibly....Now I'm asked to name a fake article which if given the time I probably could. Then you would supply evidence to contradict my statement and on it goes.

The liberal news agencies use this tactic against the Conservatives and to some extent so does FOX. All the while we're glued to our Tv's listening to all this crap and to some extent regurgitating the nonsense to each other here on TV.

Only cannot understand what is so easy it seems

 

- if you have money, building now is a lot cheaper than in 10 or 20 years

 

- no property tax in Thailand, so you do not need to rush to rent

 

 

 

I seriously doubt whether most foreigners are making plans for 20 yrs down the road.

Basically you're saying build shophouses now, let them sit MT for 20 yrs and then what??

Funny that you cannot understand that if you have money, building not is a lot cheaper than in 10 or 20 years !

 

And no property tax in Thailand, so you do not need to rush to rent !

 

Never wondered why certainly 100000+ condos are built but nobody care renting them in BKK ?

 

It explains why many of you have never been able to make any money in this country !

 

 

 

 

You'll have to further explain yourself, Cannot make much sense out of your post.

Far right news? I thought they loved him.

Sorry, thought the subject was fake news aka WP, MSNBC and so forth.

Righto.

It's being reported on cable news and other papers, too.

Are they all just making it up?

They sell sensationalism not 100% truthful news. We know which side they are on. For truthful news you need unbiased coverage which President Trump never has had nor will he ever. Absolutely what ever good he does will be spun into a negative by the far right news.

An hour south of Pattaya 2 floor shophouses are selling for 3 mil bht and rent for 12,000bht for a new one.  3 floor shophouses go for about 4 mil bht.

The ground floor is open with 1/2 bath and the other floors have 2 rooms plus a bathroom. A lot of wasted space with the staircase. Many have an outside area in back to use for Thai style kitchen.

Perhaps venture over to Jomtein beach, just a few minutes south of Pattaya. The color of the water also has to do with the sea floor. If it's a mud, then water will have more of a brownish tint and so forth.

If you want to be happy for the rest of your like, never make a pretty woman your wife. Or, so the song goes.

Just get a coin operated one and be happy that you did.....?????

Leaves you more $$$ for getting pissed.

Unless you're thinking of having kids. Why would you want a real relationship? I know there are some foreigners who have burnt all bridges with kids from the home country and have no one to leave an inheritance. This is sad.

My guess is that most of those nays are from non-yanks like me hoping the s#^~s#<\w doesn't end too quick.  Look at how inspired SNL has become again.

I'd be interested in knowing percentage of non-yank posters who are against Camp Trump.

Exuse me sir, please elaborate on your ludicrous comment?

Simply a truthful statement. Those who have jobs locally are not about to give newbees a leg up. Rice bowls are to be protected.

How many anti Trump supporters were watching Don in Saudi and were hoping that one of the Saudi guards , with a rifle would shoot Trump ?

It's posts such as this that makes the Dems a joke.

Om Payoon Road between Sukhumwit and the bypass there is a playground (but watch out for the read ants), a playground and a pool. On the west side nearer the bypass.

Thanks, will go looking for it as I cruise around.
