So  many stupid questions, why dont people think first ?

 

Please provide the policy wording then. If tourists are receiving insurance, surely they need to know what it covers. It currently sounds like it will cover all accidents which gives a false sense of security. 

Society has made sex a taboo for years, as it remains today. 

I know many nice girls who will struggle to find someone as their parents don't allow them space to find anyone. Some I know see it already as men are no longer interested in them. They are too old.

Actually, girls drink Spy Classic 5%, Spy Red 6%,  and Spy White  & Black 7%, just not in the same quantity. As a rule the better beers tend to be over 6% I agree.

 

 

Spy Classic is now 4%, Spy Red 5%, white 6 and black still 7%

Oh not true.  A Thai backing into a parallel parking spot is often good entertainment.

What are you on about? I've even seen young female students easily parallel park in their Mazda 2's etc

Will this cover riding a bike without a helmet, license, or while drunk? Rabies injections after dog/monkey bites?

Takeover of HKG? You do know that it’s the British who forcefully took HKG from China, a 99 year lease. HKG was handed back to China in 1997, much to the joy of many Hong Kongers, I was working there during the handover.

 

China does not want to control Taiwan, it just doesn’t want Taiwan to be a vassal state of the US who would most certainly build military bases there in an effort to further contain China and to prevent China from overtaking the US economically (which will inevitably happen in spite of US’ efforts).

 

Hundreds of millions have been lifted out of poverty, not in the West but in China. The biggest middle class is now in China. I suggest that Chinese citizens are paid a proper wage for their labours. I pity the poor folks in the West who, while having reducing standards of living, are being forced to pay more for their goods due to tariffs and sanctions which actually hurts them more than those being sanctioned. And the recent move by the EU to investigate “unfair “ subsidies of Chinese made EVs is no more than protectionism.

I was expecting you to respond with your username. You can keep believing that China is whiter than white.

Let us know where that is.  As a Yank, it's not the USA.  I actually have more 'freedoms' here/TH, than I did in USA.

 

Democracy ... 

That's an illusion 

Trump got voted into power through democracy. He got kicked out through democracy. The UK left the EU due to democracy. Democracy sometimes goes the way that we want or against. Im not sure if I have more freedoms here (a democratic country) than the UK, but either way, we are not living in China.

Corporations do not pay workers "proper wages" anywhere in the world unless they are forced to by regulations or unions. 

Exactly. And in democratic countries that happens. The unions in China appear to be unions in name only. 

Just to point out my comment was also to highlight that science isn't everything. I accept the science and believe the EV cars are becoming a lot safer, I just chose not to buy one last year as it wasn't right for me. 

I also should accept that protectionism is a valid issue people have, not me, with buying EVs. My personal feelings got lost in that point.

You’ve likely still got the option of sourcing a nonChinese produced ev.

Which is what I said in my original post (relating to the recent bill signed in the US to help combat this). I won't be buying another car for about 10 years now as I bought a pick up last year (I needed something I can put some weight in the back), but the next will be an EV or whatever the technology dictates at the time.

My home country (the UK) doesn't have a car industry anymore, but I'd rather support industry in a democratic country that pays it's staff proper wages, workers have rights and speech is not aggressively suppressed. China's recent takeover of Hong Kong, eagerness to control Taiwan,  along with their aggressive stance in the South China Sea doesn't sit right with me. Still people like @JBChiangRai assume they know how I form my opinion and label it nonsense and @Gweiloman jumps to racism and protectionism. You can support the overreliance on China if you like, but I'd rather reduce, not eliminate, mine.

Pay more for an inferior product as a result of bias/prejudice/racism.

 

Cutting off your nose to spite your face comes to mind.

It's called having a moral compass. 

Just to note I read today that from the new year Thailand will be producing euro 5 diesel at their refineries. Shell already provide euro 5 in both formulas within the country.

What does DILF stand for? Is it something to Do that I Love?

 

My Thai girlfriend was so sweaty and exhausted after we had sex last night I asked her if she was pegging out. She said "You want me for pegging out or pegging in? You have to pay me more." she giggled. "1500 not enough."

I've no idea what she was talking about and she wouldn't tell me.

 

Am I missing out on something?

 

 

By changing out to in she joked about giving it to you up the ass. Pegging is a woman using a strap on with the man. So DILF I guess could be dildo/d#ck I'd like to <deleted>, rather than the usual mum I'd like to...  

What is the gift for? Are you wanting to be/already in a relationship with her? What are her interests? What does she talk a lot about? What does she look like she needs (things looking too dated/used), what's your budget? 

Nothing major, just some mobile phone cases, macademia, a lamp, a cat statue, and some secateurs. It's more about having something under the tree to open than the value.

There is an expression golf professionals use," in the zone". They probably get there more often than amateur golfers. It may happen in other sports.

One of the best feelings a man can have. My main sport is table tennis and I've had it a few times too. You feel every ball like a pro, you see the spin on the ball, you know what your opponent is doing before they do, you have so much time to play your shots, you can play hard consistently or play the gentlest of touches, all the while being perfectly relaxed. 

Then the next day its back to nets and edges and blaming the ball and my equipment again 🤣

I wai but I can't tell you how often or when. It just comes naturally. Sometimes I return a wai, other times I initiate it. 

I had a funny moment a few days ago as a lady I see every week gave me a big wai while bowing. She then looked very embarrassed and whispered to the guy next to her. He then told me my zip was down. I don't think she'll be bowing that low next time lol.

It's unfortunate other golfers took that attitude, and gave you a hard time.

I have always respected other golfers, whatever standard they played to. Because i can remember how tough the game was for me when I was just starting.

I thought it may have been different here so I went to the driving range a year or so ago to try and hit some balls again. After a few hits I was told by the owner to go up to the second level because I was not very good. I told him I am not moving. Finished my 80 balls (I think) and then never returned again. I play many sports so it's not the end of the world, but it's a shame. 

For me the main problem with EVs is the reliance on China. I believe Biden signed the inflation reduction act recently which will hopefully help reduce the reliance on China in the EV supply chain. That's a step in the right direction at least. 

I think the word hate is probably used inaccurately for many. Im guessing those who don't like golf (like me) are not very good at it and the game therefore stresses a person out. It shouldn't be difficult to hit the ball straight, but it is. Same applies for putting a ball in a hole from a meter or so away. The game makes me feel stupid. Others laughed at me  or were constantly shaking their heads, so I stopped trying to play properly due to actual golfers too.

There is another reason, which is a product of the Thai driving mindset. Some drivers are running red lights because they are scared of being rear-ended.

I can remember slowing for an orange light, and watching some d!ckhead in a pickup in my mirrors, coming up far too fast on me. I finished up halfway into the intersection avoiding a collision, fortunately the green light traffic cut me some slack.

The incident had me thinking a rear-mounted machine gun would be useful.

I've had two accidents here and both involved being hit from behind when the lights had turned red. The first was a high school kid riding a bike who was too busy talking to his mates on the back of his bike. I saw him in my mirrors but there's nothing I could do when I wasn't first at the light. The second was a lady in a Teana. My dashcam showed she was looking at her phone. 

I'll await being called a racist now, that I don't know the road rules, that I must be wrong for getting annoyed by these incidents, and that I'm victim blaming for sharing my anecdotal experience from the latest troll. Oh yes I forgot, something about boats... 

Pre-covid some wore masks for the pollution or if they had a cold, but in my experience it was a maximum of 10%. Now it's about 60% wearing them. The girls I speak to say they also wear them if they have a spot/pimples now or so they don't have to put makeup on.
