Wow, I didn't know they wear bikinis in the Bahamas.

There are so many karaoke places on the street near my home, I am wondering if they are doing the same thing? I never venture to go into one, but I see the girls always sitting in front of the shops.

Only one way to find out my friend??

All in the name of investigative journalism ofcourse!!

Come on man, he must be "asking for a friend".

This is positively medieval.

Who knows how many more dungeons like this exist today, all over the world? Some people and their kinks

Vung Tau....Vietnam. ( Although they have perfected the scams.)

Shenghen....China. Milky white skin, and Manners you can appreciate.

The Jury is still out in Thailand....

Vung Tau, been there done that years and years ago.

Milky white skin? You gotta be kidding. This is not the 1800's you know.

The Jury came in on Thailand years ago. It is the hub of single male travelers and expats and has been for years.

Great song in that video! Thanks for that!

Once in 2 days?

The girlfriend is a prime example she has a salary of 20,000Baht a month. The 12,000 I have being giving her is now not enough. She cannot pay her bank loan, because she does not take it from the 12,000Baht. She did not pay her electric bill 1,700 Baht, they took the meter. She yelled at me for not reminding her when the bill normally came and complains she has to go town to pay it 30 kms. oh! but now she can pay by bank transfer. And are you going to pay for this and this also. Plus the normal things I buy every month another few thousand Baht.

The 12,000 that I give her would pay all her bills every month if she took that money and paid them instead of just throwing it in her purse and then having nothing at the end of the month. She thinks money is love and who will give her more is giving her love. So she wants a man now with unlimited income to come and support her.... any offers out there....

Hope you've already left her, or are planning to leave.

Tourist and Local involved in knife brawl

Nice hair...

Note to self - avoid Apex Hotel. Their staff give out guest information without permission.

Erm, a man was drugged and robbed by a sex worker. I think giving out information is justified in this case?

I wanted to reply, but all I could do was laugh.

Since hundreds of potential first-time Phuket guests will be reading this - anyone have some advice on what transport to take when arriving in Phuket?

Assuming one doesn't want to rent a car that is.

When you get exit the first set of doors, keep walking straight until you're outside the airport. You'll see counters of van companies stating the set prices to various places. Patong, for example, costs 150 Baht.

Otherwise for the bus, once you're outside turn left, and walk straight till you reach a set of seats and an orange sign that says "Airport Bus". You can get the bus to Phuket Town for 90 Baht, for example.

For a cab, turn right when you exit, and walk all the way straight till you reach counter that says "Metered Taxi". A taxi to Phuket Town should cost you 400 Baht (though they'll probably cite you 500 first).

Why do so many scuffles here keep ending in gunfire?

I appreciate that you are not a "real" farang and your attitude maybe is more "thai-sympathetic" - but please don't get caught up in this mess any longer than it takes to book the ticket and pack your bags. Your "ex" will be angry for 3 months or so at worst. I pity the first few guys she crosses swords with, but they'll learn a lot too........

dam_n you guys are really scaring me. Seriously it's growing on me.

We also need to stop corruption, but well let's deal with the lanterns first.

Its a big decision to leave the LOS for the noisy traffic and bad food in Jogyakarta. You can always come back...

Sorry, I think the traffic is much better in Yogyakarta, all the times I've been there. And I loved the food there.

One presumes you are now writing this from your room in Yogyakarta ?

Haha, no.

No matter what you give many women here, it is not enough. Never enough. Never take their "promises" seriously. This is a sociopathic encouraging culture. One night with most is too long.

I don't like stereotyping people of any culture, but reading similar stories and examples again and again is pretty depressing.

Another friend who was cheated on here mentioned, "Many Thai women still always prefer Thai guys, even if they don't look as good, or have less money." Maybe it's a familiarity thing.

Yes, cheating in the west is not common and most foreign men you find at Nana or Cowboy are single and don't have wives back home. This story is not about Thai culture and cheating nor is it about farang men being violent ... it is about a guy who stabbed somebody 50 times because he was upset. It is interesting too because each day I read the news I find stories of white guys killing, raping or stealing from people but never once has it occurred to me that I should paint all white guys with the same brush.

If you want to examine why the women was likely cheating then instead of thinking about her national origin, why not think about the fact she was involved in a very long distance relationship and maybe was just lonely and happened to meet somebody and things progressed as happens often in every country. Does it excuse cheating, of course not but it relates to her boyfriend stabbing somebody 50 times as much as how well she kept house if the guy became enraged because his surprised visit discovered the house was a pigsty when she knows he likes things extremely tidy.

Yes everything you wrote is valid too. But you don't see that many Thai men going over to the West and getting cheated by women there. You see more Western men going to Thailand and getting cheated on by Thai women.

That doesn't mean that if many Thai men got women in the West they wouldn't have the same thing happen to them. It's just that there are less examples for us to draw from, and that's why the comments on this thread have been written from the angles you would have observed.

Feels like we're barking up the wrong tree.

Well I'll be dog-gone!

What a stiff situation.

Well done boys

Anyway, seems to me OP you've gotten the answers and advice you came looking for with the thread right? Final decision's up to you of course, but all the generalized back and forth on how to handle your women, or let them handle you seems to stray pretty far from the OT.

Yes, thank you all for the advice and comments, especially you, Johnny.

My decision was to observe her behavior for till the end of this year and decide. I could only move after that anyway.

3 - 2 - 1 - here come the "hang 'em high" brigade.

Firstly your ideas (or as your risibly think "solutions") have no base, merit or effect on the problem.

Secondly - look to yourselves and ask "why" you repeatedly feel the need to post on these matters.

Do you sympathize with the pedophile?

My one word reply: Whatever.

Oh dear.
