  1. If I could post a one word response, it would be ‘twaddle’. Yank someone else’s chain, kid!
  2. Fair play, each to their own. Have spent time there and met some great folks, slim too. Millions didn’t vote for the donkey and while millions did, the choice is so piss-poor as to be a foregone conclusion with the mess the previous administration made. If anything is to blame it is the ridiculous electoral system there. The Iranian regime is well past its sell by date, but while I don’t agree with what Trump and his warmongering sidekick are doing, it’s not the fault of the average American.
  3. Yep. Spent fair amount of time in Pai way back and they would turn up in large 4WD groups and totally disrupt other guests wherever they were staying. We’re talking way over the top all night loud in nice resort settings. Have travelled the world and every time happened upon them as a group there were issues. There is just no respect for anyone else. Apologists can shove the antisemite nonsense as will give anyone a fair shake no matter where they’re from, I just say it as I see it. So I don’t blame those in the hospitality industry and Thai immigration for being apprehensive when they hear that hordes of Israelis are here.
  4. What a sicko. But why would he even risk it with all the cameras around nowadays? Very strange.
  5. Well done. The 7-11 girls are pretty good, those at restaurants, forex bank tellers etc (if you absolutely must speak English). It’s best if they see you a few times to know your face and then steam in there when you get the eye-flash. Being able to make a woman laugh is a must… and having the face of an angel also helps to some extent 😋 Not knocking folks here but find dating apps a bit desperate and sleazy. Just approach them when the time is right AND F SMILE! 🙂
  6. Nowt wrong with Toms. Thailand has the best of them. That almost androgynous look (with all the relevant natural parts) that you know you really shouldn’t but is a massive thrill when you do 😜
  7. I have it on good authority that they often, Buddha forbid, partake in fornication on occasion too. The sniff-kiss thing is more a risqué public endeavour, sort of on par with the Western lovers’ rather classless act of pecking/snogging in public. Ordinary Thais would never even dare sniff a face in public back in the day. If you’re seeing it now, where are you and who are they? 🙂
  8. Revenge or avenge? If tosspot does put troops in there, let them be your own—American, Israeli. Don’t drag anyone else into this sht!
  9. Oh, yes indeed. The sniff kiss is a sure-thing a Thai girl is into you.
  10. Who in their right mind would downvote this nicely worded op? Very poignant. Don’t see it so much nowadays though as the current gen doesn’t seem to have enough time to indulge… too busy on their F phones!
  11. Gawd, some of you guys. I don’t see them ‘attacking’ anyone. But if they commend the shop owner then they’re spot on. Their shop, their turf. Don’t go bringing that entitlement here! Speaking of guessing, I’m guessing that you are of a left wing bias and with that anything you say is nonsensical. That is how your response reads.
  12. Yep, this is the crux of it. Not to denigrate chaps on here---and they do enjoy a bit of real lovin' on occasion with a proper nato sized thing---but that is the general strand of it all.
  13. The ladyboy went to a man’s room and the other party attempted to ‘ass’ault her? Well wtf did you think was going to happen, dear! He didn’t invite you up to play tiddlywinks.
  14. Israel blaming Iran for this, or anyone else for anything, sounds about right. It is totally out of control.
  15. Have no time for Starmer—a lawyer first, not a leader—but he would go up in my estimation if he roundly told Trump and the US to go and do one. That donkey in the White House may not speak for all Americans as Starmer doesn’t Brits, but at this point they are not friends. You could do 99 things right, disagree on one thing and you are garbage. We all know he is a total baby, but to carry on like that—‘we don’t need you’—to the place that’s always had your back is unacceptable. Let the US and Israel deal with their own mess and the inevitable millions of refugees.
  16. Don’t be mad. She’s just trying to earn a living. But if you wanted to get back at her, blatantly shag her best friend or do a ladyboy and tell her that she was better than her. 😉
  17. lol. Lewie London aka Bob Smith etc. If you hail from Pattaya, it is probably best to leave emotion at the airport and ass-u-me that they’re all on the game.
  18. Unbelievable. We all love the place but sometimes it is a proper banana republic. Very sad.
  19. That’s alright. At least he was industrious and did some work. You didn’t have to tip him of course. 😋
  20. No. Tell them to FO. Nothing against the US (and the Iranian regime needs dismantling) but that clown and his crazy sidekick in the Middle East have <deleted> up here. It will not end well.
  21. Might be 'clean', but RO water does little for the body hydration wise, since it is devoid of minerals. We did not evolve that way. Routinely gulp it after sweating a lot here and you'll cause issues. Regards plastics in the bloodstream, I think we all have bigger problems from the likes of sugar, food additives, pollution, smoking, alcohol etc etc, but each to their own. I think op mentioned there is no difference between the brands and it is snobbish to choose one over the other. Whatever. Personally think there is huge difference and while I couldn't give a monkeys what label is on the bottle, there are clear distinctions. Example; I find Aura nourishing, while Nestle is gopping, tastes of chlorine and makes me more thirsty. Of the big sized ones, Minere (touted as mineral) is decent and has a neutral taste. Again, each to their own. Apologies for hitting an old thread.
  22. ^^^ Of course, a woman here would never steal right. Perhaps Pattaya is the issue?
  23. Well yes of course, but what’s their salary in Oz/Europe? This is about scamming. Generally find them ok here, but have definitely ridden one of two with dodgy meters. But taxi drivers are not immune to being aholes the world over. Hotel to T5 Heathrow—As a woman in the queue also wanted to go, told her to jump in… only for driver to charge as two fares. Told him he was having a laugh etc but time was tight so we both ended up paying. Can’t remember if I reported the weasel, but like to think these urchins get their comeuppance.
  24. F growth and more more more! That typically leads to ruination… when you invite everyone in, you end up with problems evident in places like Pattaya. Just maintain/improve standards, value/respect visitors, don’t let trash in, deport undesirables. Wow, I should be head of TaT! 🙂
