No!

Women don't excite me anymore
Do you travel much? I find them boring when I hang in one place for too long. By boring I generally mean character. Women I find are generally not very interesting or amusing, but never have a problem in being bored admiring the female form.

Tourists travelling less but spending more in luxury Thai tourism
That is a nice resort and prices can go waaay over what they state here. I'd sooner do a couple grand on a Phra-Ae or Nui beach resort and blow the balance on hedonism.

Teen almost loses penis after being forced to get beeswax injection
If there's one thing that makes my blood boil about this place it is the likes of that school being uncooperative when something serious has happened... because of the potential to lose face. Sincerely hope this kid gets some retribution not only on the perpetrators but also the F director of this shiity school. Aholes the lot of em!

Chinese police patrols plan dumped by ministers quickly after public backlash threatened to erupt
Earlier on he was the one that said it would happen. What a damp squib of a man!

Chinese police patrols plan dumped by ministers quickly after public backlash threatened to erupt
Good. Now if only they could ban Chinese tour groups too. 😋

Aggressive Taxi Drivers that hang around outside hotels.
Motorbike taxi and tuk-tuk drivers (esp in Phuket) can be shady and aggressive, but wouldn't say so wholesale. One tends to attract how one rolls. Perhaps the op needs to chill out a bit or perhaps lay off the sauce.

Back to Chailand.

China’s Embassy calls on Thai media to censor its coverage of Taiwan to protect relationships
What a pathetic bunch of little children the Chinese machine is. I hope the Thai media told these little kids to go and do one. Yeah, right!

2 More Thai Workers Dead, One More Taken Hostage
^^^ That's pretty much what they seem to be doing now! And it's that kind of comment that has people losing sympathy for Israel.

Carabao-Red Sun hops into the ring to challenge Thai beer titans Singha and Chang
Myth perpetrated by donkeys, little boys and simpletons from certain climes trying to be funny. All stems from a particular ale which was taken at room temp many many moons ago, but I can assure you Brits will only drink lager as cold as anywhere, and beer (you probably don’t know what that is) at the optimum temp. As for this new LAGER, anything to challenge the ‘big three’ lol can only be good thing.

Advice needed for 1 week in Chiang Mai
Really? Have always found it has more character and class than most any other Thai city of comparable size--the mountain, the moat, the malls, the green spaces, northern architecture, leafy old town lanes, stunning temples, great cafes, close airport. Most other Thai cities are incredibly bland in comparison. I wouldn't stress too much, just find an area and try it out then come back for a few months. If it doesn't work out, move on. You likely won't scratch the surface going here and there. This area around Sakorn Residence is nice and within walking/riding distance of town:

Instead of ASEAN NOW: What About... ASEAN-NOW And JAPAN?
^^^ This is it. If you want to be of use to the forum, check that big ego and self-congratulatory look-at-everything-I-have-done/know tat and chuck up some pics with minimal (READ: less wordy) descriptions with the end user in mind. You will get better feedback and be appreciated. One of the absolute best topics TV ever had is the abandoned buildings thread.

Using dollars in Cambodia is stupid
All told, unless you’re just drinking Angkor dishwater all day, found Cam to be as or more expensive than Thailand.

Lots of farangs in Pai
It has been busy like that with farangs for at least 25 years.

Thai Mercenaries Are Not Fighting For Israel: Ministry
Scott Ritter would beg to differ. According to him they are unmotivated nowadays with little training or conditioning and the military doesn’t really know what it’s doing. Nice dig at Thai people. 🫤

Do you find women boring after a while?
Yes, I find women to be boring in general. Rare to come across a witty and intelligent one with looks. Then again, people in general are pretty flaky and boring.

Is it me or Phnom Penh is actually kinda expensive ?
Considering the place is a dump, everything is too expensive. First night there I got robbed, though caught the b’stards. Siem Reap is ok, but PP cannot hold a candle to Bangkok. If I had to, I’d sooner go back home than live in PP. A proper shiithole.

Managing forum toxicity and negativity
Don’t have the time to read that. The negativity (esp about Thais) is a real drag, but c’mon guys it’s a forum about living in Thailand, not a law firm or a kindergarten. TV (and certain mods) takes itself way too seriously at times. A lot better when you had it and pre-2010, George.

What topic would you like to discuss?
This forum was set up to help people garner visa and travel info and to connect. Unfortunately it morphed into a freeforall with addicts posting tat about their boring lives. What people don’t want is contrived topics with these serial niks answering themselves. Go for a walk. Play golf etc.
