I have enjoyed my time in Thailand, but...
BritManToo replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Disagree, Warm weather, cheap housing, and cheap women are what Thailand has. The food is poop! -

I'm repulsed by women weighing more then 50kg! -
Are we to see the end of 'Life Certificates?'
BritManToo replied to Moonlover's topic in General Topics
I still 'live in the UK' so no life certificates ever! -
Why did Hollywood become so boring ?
BritManToo replied to MrPancake's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
They've made nothing worth watching since American Beauty and Fight Club. I'm currently working backwards, yesterday Witness with Harrison Ford And before that Carlito's way and Scarface. All the best movies were made in the 1980s and 1990s! -

Can't agree, but there are plenty of places just as good, Philippines and Cambodia being 2 of them. Thailand is the easiest country in the world to get citizenship, if you're a female married to a Thai man. -
Would point out smoking high THC cannabis (0.5g/night) has reduced my arthritis pain (finger joints damaged by cold) to nothing, and even the swelling has reduced to normal. Also sends me straight to sleep for 8hrs every night. Can't beat High THC hybrid for medical use. (100% Sativa does nothing for me, has to be 50% or more Indica)

Not sure road bikes are suitable for Mike. Hard on the bum and privates, generally uncomfortable especially for a n00b. S/h MTB is the way to go, far more comfortable to ride, and an easier option for a bit of exercise. As an old person, I've sold a my road bikes, just kept a Giant hybrid and a Merida Matts MTB. You really need a bike with front suspension and wider (comfortable) tires as you get older.

Trek, Giant, Merida .... That's about it. The Decathlon bikes are junk.

How many mixed race couples do you see in the west? None, yet every bank and insurance advert shows them.

Motorbike-Riding Foreign Couple Fall Into Chiang Mai Road Hole
BritManToo replied to webfact's topic in Chiang Mai News
I thought that as well, but after watching the video, no cones/barriers/lights in the road at all. Looks like any motorcyclist could have fallen down it, no matter how careful. -
Thailand grapples with scorching heat and sporadic thunderstorms

18c this morning in Chiang Mai. -
Difference between having no money and not having enough money. All sorts of hoops to jump through before you can rent a place, right to rent, a year's rent in advance if no references, etc. You can't even start claiming a state or occupational pension without an address and a positive credit check at that address. I'd be in the same position as the OP if I returned to the UK. My choices would be live in a van (no insurance, tax or driving licence as no address) or commit a serious crime and live in a nice comfy heated cell. I'm not sure I like either of those 2 options.

Library, drop in centre, church, gym, swimming pool, cafe ...... to name just a few. Local swimming pool is a useful place, access to showers, toilets,sinks, not to mention warm. Was watching a YouTube of middle class American homeless, they sleep in their cars and join a gym or pool for hygiene.

Closing bars and restaurants at 10pm + E3.5/day tourist tax. Might as well holiday in Pattaya!
