  1. Plenty of bullies and stalkers on this forum. Can't even post a thread on 'cook in sauces' without suffering frequent personal attacks from the 'haters'.
  2. How is their (possible future) health your concern?
  3. Would point out many Cambodian banks have USD accounts and pay interest in USD. No need to convert anything.
  4. Many old people end up in a care home. Many more occupy 1 room in a big empty decaying house they can't afford to heat or maintain. I used to visit a 'drop-in' center for old folks on a Friday when living back in the UK, they went there to keep warm and as a respite from their single lonely, cold existences. An affordable condo in the tropics with a swimming pool and maintained gardens would be luxury for the majority of old folk in the west.
  5. Would point out the west also has its problems. I'll including mass homelessness, rampant petty crime everywhere and out of control inflation. I prefer it here.
  6. Would point out 7-11 chain is as big as can be.
  7. Yes, I quoted you in error and couldn't change or delete the quote. My bad!
  8. I'm with Marx on this one ...... "I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it."
  9. Can't think of any retail problems I've had since stopping buying Samsung products.
  10. I've never been that keen on wine, they all tasted like vinegar to me. Obviously that can be changed by adding a spoon or two of sugar. But I'm OK just drinking wine coolers at 26bht/bottle.
  11. I can't fix it, so I don't worry about it.
  12. I always had big houses and big gardens back in the UK. But the sad reality is I'm just too old to bother with the upkeep these days. Condo with swimming pool and nice gardens would be fine for me now.
  13. Error
  14. You've put me off now! And I was gonna bring the cannabis.
  15. Agree, So many people want to control us, but why? No smoking, no drinking, no sex, no sugar, no ICE, you gotta have smart electricity that the government can turn off.
  16. I drink at least 1ltr of pepsi a day, chocolate, supermarket bread, bacon, mash, chips, burgers .......... and my weight never increases. If anything I have a weight loss problem. Cycle 50Km a week if it's not raining.
  17. If they wanted men that respected their culture they should have married a Thai man IMHO. As for Thai culture, I find it hard to respect greed and corruption, maybe it's OK with you. I have no idea what would trigger the sudden change, which is why I asked.
  18. Disagree, Sugar doesn't make people fat, not exercising makes people fat.
  19. So you were Mr. Iffy?
  20. Oddly enough I've also heard stories (from western men) of Thai ladies that are no problem in the west, then returning with western husband and becoming total nightmares. Wonder what caused the behaviour changes? PS. My Brit wife (I was faithful to her for 30 years) suddenly turned on me, so it's not only Thai women. Being faithful and loyal was a total waste of time for me.
  21. Met 2 serious drug dealers and a gang of bank robbers when I first came to CM (all Brits). They didn't appear to be committing any crimes in Thailand, so what does it matter what their occupations were back in the UK.
  22. Agoda most likely, they own most of the other companies as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booking_Holdings#:~:text=Booking Holdings Inc. is an,Agoda.com%2C Kayak.com
  23. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/09/08/the-public-isnt-being-told-the-full-truth-about-the-climate/
