If the Devil were to cast his net in Thailand...

Is he really that different to many other Thai politicians? His biggest crime was to say that he was going to help the less well-off? (That's what some politicians in most counties do?).

At a bar I used to frequent in Bangkok the Thai lady wife of the owner used to lock the door when the loud drums etc were heard approaching from down the street.

Fun fact: A Go-Go is a French slang term meaning "in abundance"🙂 (I'm sure you're thrilled that I just imparted that nugget of wisdom!?😁).

I just came over to see some old buddies, and a trip down memory lane. Saw lots of changes since my last pre-COVID visit.

Way back in the late 90's, early 00's I was just like you, over in Soi Cowboy every night. I was mid to late 30's then, 60 in January. I've been living alone since 2018 and a sexual relationship doesn't really interest me at all, and I don't care that I don't care. But, I do still have the wonderful memories of my years in Thailand.

Maybe not, maybe he just has 6k Baht burning a hole in his pocket?

Feel sorry for sexpats, or non-sexpats? Or feel sorry for all falang men in Thailand becasue they can only be sexpats or sex tourists. Very many years ago my cousin worked in Thailand and never bonked anyone the whole time that he was there. He just didn't believe in such things, but didn't have problem with those who do, he was just working in Thailand.

I spent 20 years living in Thailand, loved the place, always will. I moved there when I was 33 and left when I was 53. Being quite young when I moved there, many of my friends were 10 or 20 years older than me. One thing that I noticed was how many of my retiree friends ended up returning to their home countries (for good) due to healthcare issues, including 2 who returned to Australia (Adelaide & Melbourne). Additionally, a guy who I worked with recently in the UK has parents who retired to Thailand, but returned to the UK due to his father getting cancer.

Many thanks!😁

I lived there for 20 years and became very cynical about all that stuff, added to the fact that my sex-drive has long-since deserted me!🙂

Basically all male visitors to Thailand are likely to be tarred with the same brush, sexpats or not.

So basically anyone who visits Thailand can be rightly or wrongly be labelled a sexpat or a sex tourist (or a sexigrant😁), even if they never get their leg over for their entire stay? (I spent 2 weeks in Thailand in March and never went with anyone).

Soldiers who refuse to stand to attention need a good bollocking!😄

So by the same token a sexpat would only be known as such if his name is 'Pat'?😁

Is this about the difference between a tourist, expat or an immigrant? Is he a sexpat or a sexigrant!?😁

"If it's got tits or tyres it'll cost you money."

When I worked in Saudi one of my Indian friends & colleagues said that it's well known in India that many from India's 'underworld' hang-out or live in Thailand.

They also promote Pattaya as "Family-friendly"?

What if said expat is no longer bothering with nookie at all, with the natives or anyone else, is he an exsexpat?!

What about falang men who marry ordinary Thai women who have ordinary jobs? (Aren't & never were bargirls).

"...influx of Russian and Chinese gangsters". Combine that with a very weak rule of law in Thailand.

I lived from 1998-2018 in Thailand, and for probably the first 10 years I would say I was a sexpat. Certainly for the last 5 years of living there I didn't really bother with intimate relationships at all. This has carried on in the 6 years that I've now been back in the UK, I haven't even chatted anyone up!🙂 (60 in January, sex-drive almost totally diminished).

Potentially an even bigger problem for Bangkok. (At least Phuket has quite a lot of higher ground). Is Phuket starting to suffer from 'overtourism' anyway?
