There's a test (the movie - ' A Bronx's Tale'):

"Listens...when you gooz ta pik her up.

Unlock and open the car door for her,

then walks around the back,

and see if she bends over to unlock your door"

"If she does: she's-ah-keeper!,

and if she doesn't: fore-getta-ah-bout-ter!!"

Best test for true love. Really!, 'un-selfishness' is the 'one and only standard' needed for lasting relationships.

Note: "...said all in fun and with experience...all 'haters' don't needs to replies"

I used to do this in America--I don't have a car here so I use a different test.

On dates I notice some women will offer food, put your straw in your drink, refill your glass--little things like that. I never once had a western woman do any of that to me.

Thank you!

I got a tourist visa on arrival (I'm a U.S. citizen) that expires on Monday. I have two options:

1. Get it renewed in Bangkok on Friday

2. Get it renewed in Pattaya on Monday

Is there any problem with renewing a visa on the day it expires? Does Pattaya immigration have a longer wait time than Bangkok?

If you were me, which option would you go with? I'd really prefer doing it in Pattaya if possible.

I'm a freelance writer and I'm writing a piece on retirement for a U.S. media outlet. I'm in need of a retiree currently living in Chiang Mai who would be willing to do a short interview (i.e., answer about 5 questions via email) about the costs of living in Chiang Mai.

If any retirees in Chiang Mai are interested, please PM me.

I've been told that generational prostitution exists in Thailand. The full argument:

"I have been to Thailand and the many of the women I spoke with - primarily in Phuket - through a translator told me of their stories. And yes, they are stuck in a cycle of generational prostitution where the daughter takes over the job of the mother as she is too old to be desirable (the mother goes on to work in massage and then retire) because there are no other reliable jobs for them. They then are impregnated (often on the job) and their daughter(s) grow up to continue the cycle. They often live in the bars they work out of and the only hope to escape is to marry one of their clients."

True or false?
