Nope. If we all did it, the world might be better. Sadly, some people ‘give’ in order that they may receive… sort of like merit making in the Buddhist sphere, while the christians do it no end. They typically only do good so that they may be rewarded at a later date. Totally b’llocks! Bottom line: if you must, give from the heart and do not expect a return.

You gotta put your foot down and set boundaries from day one.

Living the Thai life: Kingdom rolls out red carpet for big spenders

Just treat ALL incomers with respect irregardless of expenditure… okay maybe not the Russians and Chinese 😜 -
Chinese Tourist Numbers to Thailand Expected to Remain Steady
daveAustin replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Sorry but that is just an awful picture. It makes me not want to go to that place as much as JUST seeing my own there. -
Chinese Tourist Numbers to Thailand Expected to Remain Steady
daveAustin replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Too much and too many. Any one group coming to another country en masse is not great and these guys pile in, stick to one another and don’t give a F about anyone else. The Chinese and Russians should visit one another’s countries and give the rest of the world a break. -
COVID-19 Severity Fades, But Virus Remains, says Dr. Yong
daveAustin replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Fluff! It would have reduced all on its own, sans the massive collateral damage that we caused. Whenever this chump’s face was in the news it was cringe misinformation. Not an anti vaccer but that stuff was garbage and personally caused issues. I will never again be obliged to ingest anything my, or any, government says is good for me and applaud those that stood their ground. -
Thailand Targets Tougher Alcohol Laws to Align with Global Norms
daveAustin replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Curtailing binge drinking and drinking games? 😂 What the actual F! Next they’ll be telling people when to piss. -

Musk calls Canada's Trudeau "insufferable tool"
daveAustin replied to Woke to Sounds's topic in Political Soapbox
Typical of his type, Trudeau. Wanting someone for a job because of what they are not if they’re fit. i.e. If Harris were a man, it wouldn’t be a thing. Completely bias and not fit to be in office himself. What a weirdo. Feel sorry for Canada. -
Thai PM Celebrates 90-Day Milestone, Unveils 2025 Vision
daveAustin replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Thai PM Celebrates 90-Day Milestone I celebrate every 90 days, too, at immigration. 😉 With all those grandiose schemes, dismantling monopolies and whatnot (tackle the breweries first), probably best to tread carefully. It's been a whopping 10y since Thailand enjoyed a coup. -
^^^ Commercially. The shops do it merely for coin, as they do by and large in the West of course, albeit not to the same cringe degree.

Elton John Speaks Out: Legalizing Cannabis is a Grave Mistake
daveAustin replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Gawd, the ‘sir’ has spoken! Your debauched experiences are your own. Not everyone has an addictive nature. Legalising weed is one of the ballsiest things a government can do, ruffling the feathers of the dinosaur electorate and potentially affecting revenues from alcohol duty. On that score, ‘sir’, if you really want to make a difference, speak up about alcohol. That is the real problem!- 51 replies

Opposition Demands Clarity on Proposed Thai Tax Reforms
daveAustin replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
They are right to question it. Governments should leave tax well alone, unless it’s a reduction for the little man. Stop meddling for personal agendas and causing strife to ordinary people. -
Thai Police to Crack Down on Crime During New Year Festivities
daveAustin replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Vet them as they come in rather put the onus on foreigners in general? We’re not all here to cause trouble, you know. -
More likely that Putin would be removed if it looked like Russia were about to collapse since not everyone there with influence would want to be roasted alive. While of course good that Assad is out, the folks that will come in could make things worse. These guys do not get on with others and couldn't organise a pissup in a brewery... if they drank that is. The entire region is a complete cluster F.

Is there anything good about getting old?
daveAustin replied to OneMoreFarang's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Always seemed to have all three. Op, I get the appeal of not having kids but don’t reckon you’ve really ‘lived’ until you’ve experienced the trials & tribulations and sacrifice. Big issues to the childless often seem like small issues to parents. On getting older, aside from seeing others go, big plus is one is closer to the ‘end’. Just don’t dwell on it because it’s inevitable… or go holding angst and regret, since (if it is a thing) there’s more of a chance of getting flashed back to do this sht all over again. 🙂 -
If it's that bad, have you considered walking away, or at least moving elsewhere with wife? -- unlikely she'll give up on family.

Foreign Pilot Approval Raises Concerns for Thai Aviation
daveAustin replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Don’t let these types wind you up. I would quote the oft used phrase—don’t feed the troll—but it would likely be deleted. Folks that repeatedly shove their point across in the same thread don’t usually have the best intentions. This beaut right here should be in most ‘ignore’ lists. -
