Who cares what anybody in France has to say they're irrelevant

Not my favourite Martians but I’d back them any day over the current two-faced pissant of a US administration. Bunch of big babies with absolutely no class. All of Europe should give notice to US army bases until they grow a pair and get that tosspot out.

And brilliant speech btw… pedo boy will need an interpreter to decipher it. He will no doubt bung big tariffs on French wine. No brains or class.

Everyone changes but Thailand has changed dramatically in the last 20y or so and anyone that says it hasn’t either wasn’t here or was too switched off to notice. It’s gotten all middle class, normal and expensive, while the ‘smart’phone has ruined people (esp women) beyond repair.

Guessing OP is getting on since discussing one’s toilet ablutions seems to be a favourite past-time of old fogies. Fair enough in Health forum, but for everyday ‘nice weather today’ spiel, it’s kinda weird and gross.

Can anyone else see a repeating pattern here of war crimes and total disregard to international law, and of course no consequences as they the terrorist nstate of Israel is protected by the mighty USA. 

They are both rogue nations so they do what they want.

So planning stage has been in operation for 50 years and will be enforced on April Fools day. Got it.

People don’t want to hear it, but learning script is key. All the information is there—tones, vowel length, consonant class, tone marks etc. And it does matter getting tones right or you can make yourself sound pretty silly—naughty words can be close to normal words etc. Books not needed since there are some good apps out there. Pocket Thai Master is an excellent introduction and may even be free now. Very straightforward and fast style of learning.

They are aholes, but that is how people operate—FOMO panic buy and F everyone else. Similarly during the floods here with people grabbing all the water and Covid with the hoarding of toilet paper nonsense… typically women filling shopping carts to the brim. One could say it’s the few ruining it for the many, a mental disorder, but it is people in general. A failed, greedy species indeed.

Did you manage to stop the youngsters from enjoying themselves ?

Did you manage to convince them to be in bed alseep by 10 PM ?

Were they behaving like they were on holiday or something ?

If I could post a one word response, it would be ‘twaddle’. Yank someone else’s chain, kid!

Sorry dont want to meet any Yanks !! visited the States many times when i was in the navy found the yanks fat arrogant loudmouth people !!

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.

What a sicko. But why would he even risk it with all the cameras around nowadays? Very strange.

Well done.

 How do you start conversations with women you don't know, especially when you also don't know their age, whether they speak English, or whether they are even single?

Surely you don't just walk up to random beautiful women and start talking to them in the hope they can speak English, are single and looking for a BF.

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! 🙂

I am no peeping Tom, if that is what you mean.

I really can't stand Toms, anyway.

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 😜

You have it completely wrong.

What you seem to not know is that....

Thai lovers sniff.

They do not kiss.

They sniff, instead.

So, I guess you know not that much about Thai culture, apparently.

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? 🙂

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!

Less demand

No it's not that complex. One group had their land stolen and is being subjugated to inhumane treatment and genocide while another group is committing atrocities and is reaping the rewards.

Also, I'm going to guess your from the country that made this possible so perhaps that is why your attacking the shop owner. In any case, we are all entitled to our opinion, but some opinions make sense and yours does not. End of discussion.

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.

It's her job! Many Thai girls have their (usually Thai) boyfriend but still work in bars or on the streets! Surely you realised this?

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.

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.
