smooth expat

That's plenty. I live on far less. Room is 2k monthly. I eat at food stalls 3x daily . 1,000 baht note lasts me an entire week. When I get the urge to drink there's always siam sato(25 bahts a bottle). Walk everywhere(saves on taxis).

Always overreacting. This is why the murder rate in Thailand is 5-10x that of civilized countries.

I don't see how anyone could become homeless here in Thailand. You can get a small room for as little as 1,000-1,500 baht a month.

You would have to pay the family. I recently hesrd of a Thai who knocked somebody of his bike and killed him. He wss msde to psy thr family

Yep. Just pay. That's the way it's done here. Cough up some a fistfull of baht.

Is she fat?

I tried to avoid the roads as much as possible. Don't drive on them. Don't walk on them. I only go out when it's necessary.

Silly people. Sure the incomes are higher but so are the taxes and cost of living. Net gain from moving would be almost zero.

Nope. Not if they're looking in the bars for them they're not. The most attractive Thai women don't work in the bar industry.

I don't know about you guys but I think I'm noticing more Chinese around. I think I notice a little less Russians now.

Whatever makes him happy. I'm sure many guys have married "women of the night" and are very happy. Doesn't mean they're going to get ripped off or murdered.

Sure. You can trust Google. They're not spying. Just ask that Snowden guy.

This is why you don't get into a fight with Thais.... different rules

Now I know why they smile so much - they don't want to get into a fight.

These Russians have really raised the bar over the last few years!

Actually, the Russians are pretty well behaved here normally. I have seen far worse from other nationalities which I won't name.

Showing a middle finger in Germany to a motorist or cop is 2000 Euros fine.

I don't show middle fingers when walking or driving by I keep to myself and only Mrs will hear it. In fact she hears it all the time because driving in Isaan at time can be frustrating.

I would never give a middle finger to anyone in Thailand because I don't know who is on the other side and live is cheap in Thailand.

Yes, very cheap. It's as if they think nothing of killing somebody just for making them angry. The culture is incredibly violent. Murder rate is 5-10x that of farang countries. Best not to flick anybody off in Thailand.

Why is the violence here always so over the top? I don't think in our own countries if someone did that they would be beaten or killed.

I agree pedophiles should be stopped. Problem is, their definition of a "pedophile" is somebody who sleeps with a girl who is one day short of her 18th birthday.

Pedophile to me is somebody who likes 8 year olds, not 15 year olds.

It's because they tax the crap out imports here.

You know why the US has a massive trade deficit? There's your answer.

No such thing since females have 1/10 of the testosterone that males have. 99%+ of sex workers service males. The whole concept is pure feminist rubbish.

How on earth is a guy supposed to get laid there?

Wow. Crazy. Be very careful when a Thai stops smiling. It means it's time to get outta dodge.

Why not buy it from a US based seller?

Smells like... you know what.

They never tell the whole story. If we knew the whole story we might be able to make up our minds but we never get the entire story.

I'm not sure Uni. degrees mean much here. My wife went to Uni. but you'd think by meeting with her that she'd never gone past the 8th grade.

The number of degrees awarded goes up every year but I doubt there are more smart people around.

Um, wow. I'm so impressed by these two. Must think they are so awesome for fighting like that.

The underage thing is hyped massively. Most of the time you can't even find a lady under the age of 30 in the bars.
