THAT sounds delicious

Those sweet little hotties may be hot but not so sweet

oh common, they ain't that hot either. with all their clothes on in some girly bar surrounded by old and fat drunk farang they pretend to be sasha grey. but what do they have to offer a good farang girlfriend (think: education, a brain, similar interests, similar culture, money, etc) hasn't got? a whore is a whore: sex equals work. work equals bore (especially in this part of the world). bore equals no dedication, no initiative, nada. me thinks majority of thailand whore chasers have simply never experienced good genuine sex back home. and u know why that is? 1/ because they are old and from a retarded generation. a generation that thinks good hot sex with the wife is dirty (with thx to the pope/christianity). 2/ because they are lousy lovers and their wifes/gf's didn't get hot by their incompetent in-out-in-out fiddling 3/ because they are too repulsive to find a partner in the west (repulsive in physical way OR mental way, ie. the typical dominant frustrated white male)... i've been here for so many years now and never had to get "any service below the belt" sofar which my farang gf can't give me for free without her watching the clock. oh and mind u, we've been together for LAAI PEE... sure thai women can be very beautiful and sexi, but so can western women. the main difference remains that spending 2 hours in the company of a whore costs 400 bt here (sex not included) and 10.000-15.000 bt in any western bar. it's all about money (on both sides).

Are you happy now you've had such a rant? Try different coloured pills they may work better.

Would you kick any of the above out of bed... As for me I would love to have a 4 way

That Yaya - above- looks darn tasty to me. I'd not kick her out of bed.

Erm, no I wouldn't kick any of them out of my bed, but I'd like Yaya to stay longest

I always wonder when a doctor tells a 60+ plus year-old that they have the body of a 40 year old what is it they tell those who actually are 40 years old.

If someone in his 60's tells me he has the body of a 40 year old, I tell him he should return it.

And get a younger one

I wish I'd known to bring a bullet proof vest and a bullet proof heart, in my early days

A Thai smile can hide a lot.

Initial meeting with parents, with a monk or a child who wai me, yes. Nothing to do with being suberviant, more to do with being polite. After the initial meeting with parents a simple greeting suffices.

I'd never ever wai a bargirl, waitress or similar. I do find it embarrassing to see foreign men wai bar girls.

They can stuff their adverts. I don't care if they are light/medium/dark skinned. It is what is inside that counts.

Is there some hint of jealousy at the thought she maybe had a sponsor in Australia who paid for mother and daughter to go for a holiday? If not and if the daughter has arrived back safe and sound to Thailand, I cannot see why the OP has such a problem. Many single parents take their children on holiday, for - you guessed it - a holiday.

OP you do give too little information on marriage status, court orders, amount of daughter and other pertinent points, as other people have said earlier in this topic.

How old is old for this topic? to a 20 year old anything above 40 is old and anything above 50 is ancient. Over 60 and why are you not dead yet???

If a person is old and set in their ways let them be or simply accept they are that way. They have had many years to mould themselves into their lifestyle and attitude.

I am nearing 60 but do not feel that way. I have hung out with older and younger people. Neither have been perfect. Many of the older people I meet and I'm talking 70+ years, are quite normal and relatively happy people. Some are really grumpy old b*stards, yet they can be happy in their grumpiness. The grumpy ones I leave to themselves.

Set in their ways? Why not? Is there any need to change what they know, have learned and been taught by others and by life?

Not everyone is perfect, young, old or inbetween.

That Yaya - above- looks darn tasty to me. I'd not kick her out of bed.

I was in Banglamung hospital during one of my stays in Pattaya. I'd had an accident, needed stitches in a head injury and to be kept in overnight. During the night in the communal ward I had a severe asthma attack (possibly triggered by the shock from the earlier accident). Was hardly able to breathe. In seconds the staff were there with heart attack equipment. Moments later they understood it was asthma and not my heart. Medication quickly applied and relief soon followed.

Earlier they had checked my heart and done a variety of other tests too, including X-rays. No private room was available at the time that is why I was put in a communal ward.

Come time to pay the bill they even asked if there were any problems paying for it. That made me wonder at the cost . Turned out be be less that 3,000 Baht for everything.

Good staff, courteous, efficient and friendly. Follow up sessions were also courteous efficient and friendly.

First off because there has been a death it appears that I am required to say RIP, so that now out the way...

But ...OMG the poor guy, according to the report this car is to blame! the report said the "car" was driving fast the car flipped over and killed the occupants.

So I can only deduce from this the demon car only had passengers who were murdered by the car!

wrong again,they were killed by the concrete pylon ,but it was self defense .

No you are wrong it was the "daemon car" headed straight for the pylon there would have been nothing... absolutely nothing the passengers could have done, once a car like this get the idea of killing there is no stopping it. And who would have guesed the car was so cunning to hit a pilon, "cleaver bugger"

Its scary actually, I will get a monk to talk to my car to preempt any cynical copy cat ideas it might have in its evil little ECU".

No, you are all wrong!!

It was the spirit inside the car that had too much spirits. The drinking of spirits made the spirit evil, mean, nasty and it decided to drive the car in a crazy way to scare the sh*te out of the poor innocent driver. But the evil spirit took another swig of whiskey, and lost control killing the driver after trying to avoid the innocent spirit in the pylon.

If I put an X-men sticker on my windscreen do I get an amnesty from this law?

Hello Kitty might work better

Whatever his number age the picture of this white man certainly appears to be elderly. So that adds to the message of disrespect they were acting out. Shoes - head - elder.

The head being classed as the most sacred part of the body and the foot being the lowliest (dirtiest) part of the body, this is indeed a shameful act. Perpetrated against a Thai they would have been in a lot more trouble. Make that an elderly Thai and that would compound the offence. These two teenagers definitely showed total lack of respect, as Jingthing has also noticed.

The 500 Baht fine is not enough in this case. Some form of very dirty work or shameful experience should have befallen these two teenagers.

None of us here on TV have an issue with someone your mom and dad set you up with. None at all. Have a wonderful life. It is just that some of us who choose to afford ourselves of the wonderful aspects that the 21st century offers, prefer companionship with someone who is amazing, that we have chosen. Perhaps neither of us is right or wrong. Modernity vs. mideival tradition. What do you prefer If you have free choice and are not being dictated to by your family? For me it is most definitely the former. I am thankful every day it was born into a culture that allowed me to make those kinds of decisions, and determine my own fate.

And yet, the divorce rate for those who married for love, is higher than at any period in history.

Seems that choosing your partner for love, isn't working out very well for most of us.

Maybe mums and dads made better decisions about marriage partners than your hard cock did (can I say that?).

OR: Divorce was not possible. Later on, Divorce was a Stigma, so few dared to. Only started to change in the mid-sixties in Europe.

Cheers.

My mother divorced her 1st husband in the 50's. She would never admit it either, too much stigma involved. She always told everyone her 1st husband died. She even moved away from the family to get away from the chatter about it. In those days and before, people did not get divorced very often because of the stigma involved.

These days it is much easier for many in the western world to get a divorce. Sometimes I believe it is too easy. Things get tough, money worries etc and they get divorced at the drop of a hat.

Except in cases of violence and similar, I think life would be better if divorce was not so easy as it is now. Maybe many families would be better off too instead of being fragmented and having so many one parent families about.

Take Down. Up Is freezing cold!

And warm air rises when people break wind. Down is better.

Handy to know about leg room for us taller folks.

Yes, bleach usually works very well for mould, as said above. And use a strong bleach solution the the water when you clean the doors and around the house.

No matter if the woman was crazy or not, it is a scary thing to fear your child(ren) are being abducted before your own eyes. More so in a foreign land where communications are more difficult.

Whatever the reasons or thinking behind the woman trying to take the children the police should have been on top of this with swift action, especially on a smaller island where they stand a better chance of achieving something.

Whilst we're on the subject of bar-girls, has anyone been able to explain the principles of the offside rule to a bar-girl to the extent that she can properly understand rucking and mauling?

Personally, I think league would be more easily understood, although Thailand is a staunchly union country.

SC

Personally, I love a good ruck after a maul.

Offside - isn't that where you get it in the wrong...... (I had better stop there )

Bus crashes, train derailments seem a way of life here, sadly. Thankfully, I am being collected by family when I do return back to Thailand. I'd hate the thought of a long bus or rail journey seeing how many accidents there are.

Is Pattaya a dump? Is it sleazy? Yes to both of those but it can also be a great place to visit or to live in. There are many places away from the sex, sin, robbery and bars too if that is what you want with the occasional trip into the sex scene.

Pattaya can be vibrant and also a haven of peace and tranquility. It all depends where you look and where you live. Many Thai people speak English. Then there are the different nationalities residing there from Europe, America, Canada, Australia nd other places. Bring them all together and it can be a great place. a friendly place too.

Yet, when I first moved to Thailand a week or so after the coup, I started in Bangkok and that city to me is far worse than Pattaya in many respects. A couple of months later I moved north to Nakhonsawan itself and then out to a village on the outskirts.

To me, Nakhonsawan was a great place once you got to know it, with plenty of nightlife and very friendly people and police officers. Yet it too has its drawbacks. It is very hot and dusty. No pavements to speak of in the main. Black dust in the burning season. That dust covered most of the town. But you have a great park in the centre, a huge lake not far from town. Bat mountain with millions of bats coming out to feed every evening some kilometers down the road.

The small village was friendly yet flooded badly in the rainy season. No bars. Frequently the electric was off for hours. Yet that village too had its benefits.

Pattaya? I love it as a part of Thailand in the same way I loved aspects of the village and of Nakhonsawan itself - a place many slag off as yet another Nakhon nowhere. Life is what you make it in these places.

Hi.

I used to be on here a few years back when I first decided to visit Thailand. Then I lapsed for a long time. Now, I've decided to come back and hope I enjoy the forum once again.

Greetings to all
