Or drivel even 😋 Dunno about that. Some of the coolest women I have met / had 'relations' with while on my travels, both in the US and overseas, were American. Western women, in general, have become emboldened because meek, browbeaten men have made them that way through the modern, guilt-ridden system. This will affect some delicate flowers, but women must be controlled lest you foster a monster. The guy (that's the one with the dick) is the boss, end of story. Let them wear the pants and somewhere along the line you will get a right old savaging. The silverback does not concern himself with the whims of the lady gorilla. Be a silverback, don't be a poodle!

^^^ Don’t particularly like him, but he’s certainly not stupid and Thailand would do well to move in this direction.

MORE???

Perhaps move there, you’d be in hog’s heaven. Never really got why they want to travel here en masse to celebrate their new year. Please stay home, Thailand is already way too busy.

Could you please do this in the UK too? Oh wait, too late!

Not read most answers, heard it a thousand times, but I’d go with Brit’s assessment… 20k a month is doable, but best to double that as a base. You’ll get the ‘I couldn’t live on 100k’ blah blah, but these mommy’s boys are typically supporting families, while wife-beater-wearing alcoholic mongerers are also x5. Have a blow out then get in your niche. Avoid getting too deep with loose women. ‘Semi’ retired early 30s. 😉

Until you find yourself in there too for some trivial reason, right.

Thais never act up of course.

Other than long term climate change, I wouldn’t put too much store in humans having any sort of day-to-day impact on the weather at large. We’re probably still 1-200 years away from being Class I status and having that sort of power. This is all just regional monsoon norms. It’s been a bit cooler, but may as well keep this thread open because it’ll be the same next year.

Potentially having to pay taxes is a ball ache, not woke. Wokeness is a disease and is exponentially worse.

Substitute ‘Thais’ and ‘tourists’ for ‘anyone’.

this is a common trend. Learn Thai, go to Bangkok, keep fit, dress well, join a group, garner Thai friends. You’ll be beating them off with a sh’tty stick 🙂

‘Could be’?

... a Cnt. Anyone considering it must have low self esteem. Shave that rubbish off and just be clean for your women. Have some self respect.

Dude, you have missed the boat. Aside from a personal choice, as far as fashion goes, beards are so done... it was a post-COVID 2020-2021 thing but is now old hat and will just make you look older. Each to their own, but very few guys can carry it off and not put 10 years on instantly. If you're not sure and are having a crisis or whatever, ponder this, women HATE facial hair on a bloke and it just makes you look like.

Always impressed what they do for the kids here, esp on Children’s day… big gatherings, scrambling jets and such. Had some great days out when ours were growing up here. Didn’t even know it was a thing in my country, albeit in May. I was always told that every day is children’s day. 🙄

Sex Pistols - Friggin in the Riggin … clean your house ‘coz there’s F all else to do’?

Nice to read some good news on here for a change.

Don’t lump in the UK. It might struggle but consistently spends more than the EU players, looking to 2.5%. Germany and France on the other hand have been taking the Michael for years. Most are hoiking contributions since Ukraine war but 5% is a joke. He’s either trying to shake it all up or trounce nato altogether, but the US gains a huge advantage from Europe and others from being part of nato, militarily and economically. He forgets all that.

Just a misunderstanding, he only wanted to massage them. 😋

Unfortunately many Thais, and Asians in general, have this type of mindset regards skin colour. It is institutionalised in them and is typically seen as not a big deal to knock people (Thais included) of colour.

It sure is a mental disease. All people should be able to express opinion, but when it all starts going one way and freedoms are threatened, as the past few years have shown, something is wrong.

Yep, although Starmer is a trickier prospect. He is one slippery robot and just does not care. Go Elon!

Posting international is already exorbitant. Returned a letter to UK last year and it was something like 3-4x the cost with a 2-3 week delivery. EMS was well over 1000 baht, with ‘maybe’ one week delivery. Shocking. Never used to be this way.

More woke. Thai coup.
