Lucky is the 60 year old who's 24 year old wife does love him in her tiny little uneducated mind cos she doesn't know any better

Do you honestly think such a girl exists?

Obviously not in your life lol...you need charisma and a sense of humour. only idiots or guys who could never get girls in the first place think the oly way they can get a girl is if they have a huge wallet...its complete nonsense made up as an excuse by losers in the love deoartmeng who have no respect for the girls and think money can buy them anything

We are still talking about 60 year old men and 24 year old women, are we?

You have some catching up to do with us Brits.

I agree.

It seems Brits are always in the News for getting lost, raped, killed or killing themselves in Thailand.

For reasons I have yet o figure out,

Brits excel in all fo the aforementioned categories.

Maybe they just take pride in being "Number one" ??

We Brits were last years Darwin award winners, but earlier this year there was a spate of Chinese deaths, fairly recently being overtaken by a series of French deaths.

"Americans are 36 times more likely to die there, with suicide and motorscooter accidents as the leading causes of death to Americans."

Assuming you trust the Thai police to accurately investigate and record the actual cause of death, and not just write down something that requires no work or effort on their part.

'"We will go for IV treatment or what is called a test-tube baby. I want to have a boy or even twins ...' She presumes everyone will want to know all about it ... and, apparently, that most will not know about the IV test tube process, something that has been around for well over thirty years.

Many of the posters on this forum seem to need that knowledge, they keep posting he needs Viagra, age has made him impotent, he's too old to have babies. When none of those has any much effect on reproduction. But his vasectomy, will need a bit of a work around.

This list suggests different.

9/11 got nearly 3,000 in one go.

I doubt any accumulated number of terrorist deaths in the EU can beat that figure.

And that doesn't include 'Black Riots' that are listed as crimes.

I also ride quite often but more in the rural areas where it is a bit safer and there are fewer accidents that I see.

Moron!!! But we both got by safely doing about 75 to 80 kph.

Some might feel that driving at 75Kph on a rural road is madness and totally irresponsible..

68 and he's a mess and I hate to think what he looks like naked!

How good do you think you'll look if you make it to age 68?

Imagine turning up in someone else's country, living in a ghetto, refusing to speak the language or adopt the local customs, expecting businesses and services to cater to your way of life, and not respecting the locals.

Who would do a thing like that, eh?

Immigrants to Europe.

But is it not what many of us do to Thailand. When in Rome Do as the Romans do!

I'm not an immigrant, I'm a tourist.

I doubt any of you are immigrants either.

The balcony "railing" barely comes to his bloody knees:(

Why are balcony railings so ulta-low in the LOS??

The policeman is standing on the roof, no balcony there, so no railings.

It is not like the police have just started these kinds of activities in recent times. They have been conducting raids for various reasons for a very, very long time.

Previously, the Thai police raids were aimed at hassling bar owners, recently the Thai police have changed to hassling foreign customers of bars.

It's a significant change in their bribe collecting.

A number of threads mentioned Spain is cheaper. I haven't been there but is it really cheaper than Bangkok? I be very surprise. If it is there is no reason for Spanish to be here other than for women.

Capital cities are always more expensive than the surrounding country.

So Bangkok is almost certainly more expensive than Spain, but probably cheaper than Madrid.

It would also depend on what you want out of your life,

Spain is certainly cheaper than Thailand in general for bread, cheese, beer and wine (I live there 3 or 4 months each year).

And with 25% Spanish youth unemployment, sex is probably on sale at a discount price too (but I'm not interested in sex, so have no relative costings).

Many of you are confusing 'Riverside' with 'River Market'

Riverside is one bridge along from Loi Krow, and is the Thai restaurant all Thais love to eat at, always extremely crowded, live Thai rock band.

River Market (part of The Dukes), the closest bridge to Loi Krow is Thai fusion food, and not all that good, incredibly expensive.

Good View (next to Riverside), the food is awful, often cold, often the wrong items delivered to your table and overpriced.

I don't know if you know this, the Thai Gov. is talking about cutting two school grades out of the system to save money......it's all about control the sheep.

Free government school effectively ends at age 15 now.

What two grades are they going to cut out?

Are they really considering school ending at age 13?

People don't believe me when I say this.....but in many ways yes I am glad I grew up in a small town in the U.S in the late 1950's and the 1960's.

Just one example....we had a small garden in our backyard and a Pear tree growing on our property.

We had a rear porch with a screen door we never locked.

Our neighbors would bring over such things as ears of corn from their gardens and leave them on our porch for us.

When our Pear tree had more fruit than we could use we would leave Fruit for them.

We shared what extra we had with the neighbors, and they shared with us.

That is the way it was then.

It was a simpler and easier life in some ways then.

Sounds like where I live in Thailand.

The neighbors all share, and include me when I'm here.

The rice, bananas and seasonal fruits are very welcome.

But I never know what to do with the green stuff.

I don't often lock my door either.

Good job the cops weren't in the car park later, watching the chubby kid filming Miss Fluffy ears.

Although It is much more difficult to succeed when of mixed race here it is not impossible and some have reached senior positions such as Mechai Viravaidya who was a deputy minister under Prem and Minister for Tourism under Anand.

Mixed race Thai/Chinese seem to have no problems.

Hmmm, wrote instead of rote and the subsequent criticism from our regular barstool commandos and masters of the English language - I guess that would be similar to the bastardisation of English by the Americans in using 'z' instead of 's' and writing paycheck instead of pay cheque; just two examples in this thread alone.

I think you should understand there is a difference between regional spellings and ignorance.

But who says playing with Dolls is bad for you as a child? It opens the mind to imagination and also creativity! None of the inventions we have today could be achieved without that. None of the inventions at all would have happened until Man had time and food from farming, and not spending it all in hunting for food. So European Girls are Smarter when it comes to imagination and creativity.

It's generally men that invent stuff, and you don't often find them playing with dolls as children.

The continent and the world weren't scared sh*tless by any of those terror groups you mention.

Can't say I'm scared sh*tless about ISIS either,

And I live in the UK, France, Spain and Thailand.

Fear of Muslims doesn't cross my mind for a second.

More likely to be run down by a car while crossing the road.

PS

If you are male and really want to be fearful of someone, it should be the woman you are sleeping with, she is far more likely to cause you harm than anyone else in the world.

Yes! ISIS affects me almost every day. Every day I travel I need to prove that I'm not a terrorist. I need to show my passport to buy a SIM card so they can track my phone and internet usage just to make sure I won't make a bomb with a remote detonator that uses a SIM card. Then I need to wait for 20 minutes while they activate it, unless I need to wait in a queue, then it's up to an hour of waiting. I need to provide ID to check in to a hotel, just in case I make a bomb in the hotel. I'm being watched, tracked, spied on every step of the way.

30 years ago, hardly anyone traveled, except once a year to Spain for their summer holiday.

No mobile phones, so no waiting for SIMs, no internet either (well just barely with a dialup modem).

There was no need to track or spy on most people, because they didn't go anywhere.

But I'm sure MI5 et al were watching those few that did travel to funny places.

Our children will never know a world we knew in many ways. While this can be offered for every generation there is a particular sort of loss from this religious insurgency. Every single person in Western Civilization has been horribly impacted by DAESH/Jihad terror. From the fallacious trading of liberties for security to the unholy taxation leveled on posterity to pay for wars, surveillance, education, outreach, etc., every single human has been or will be adversely affected by this terror virus.

My dad was born in 1910, the age of steam ocean liners, horse drawn carts.

I will never know the world he knew.

When I was born, there were no computers, we didn't have a television, just radio.

My children will never know the world I knew.

My point being, things change, some for the better, some for the worse.

Generally speaking for us in the west, things have only got better.

Muslim terrorism is a minor blip in the current workings of the western world.

Much less significant than WW1, WW2, Spanish Flu, and the threat of nuclear destruction by Russia and the USA.

For the normal western man in the street, not worth a moments thought.

Cost of the degree would be in the 200k to 500k range for 3 to 5 year course, thats not per yer, thats total

Course fees are around 20k a year at the 'Rajabhat' universities.

Most of their degrees are 4 year courses.
