You think too mut! Live for the day, and enjoy it. Tomorrow may never come.

Can't say I've seen any extra gouging of foreigners since 2009. Certainly things have gone up less than back in the UK. What changes were you thinking of?

We did try and take in a 13yo girl, but she skipped school, and went out all night so was returned after a year (her choice). No point in my paying for high school and University if she doesn't want to go. Back in the village now causing trouble for her grandma. Unlike many other posters, I have no problems looking after other people's kids, but I do expect reasonable levels of behaviour if I'm providing for them.

10k for her, +3k for her mother not to live with us.

My family are all dead, and have been for 45 years.

1 is ours (12yo boy), 1 is hers (24yo girl).

I used to walk from the airport to Pasay bus station through the barrio in the early hours of the morning. Never any trouble, never felt there would be any trouble. Lots of old local guys sitting outside their shacks all night, they all used to shout "hello" or "enjoy your stay" as I walked past. Very friendly outgoing people (compared to Thais).

Been here since 2009, and still enjoying it. Still find my wife attractive. If I didn't like it I'd move somewhere else.

Why worry about the future? Cambodia, Philippines and Vietnam are also nice. Or you might be dead by then.

Inexpensive accomodation, utils and vehicles, warm weather all year round.

Do you really need underwater lights? How about surrounding the pool with LED spots?

I found accommodation a lot more expensive than Thailand. But if you're a heavy drinker alcohol is a fraction of the Thai price. Less violence against foreigners, they actually seem to like us. Much nicer beaches than Thailand. Lots of German/Brit/Mexican food. I liked it there, but internet was a lot slower, and more expensive, and power cuts every day for an hour or more.

You do realise you can just roll up with no VISA and stay for 3 years?

How about Dark-Ling ...........

Better than her calling you 'the farang'.

I thought yours looked like a sack of potatoes and you had separate bedrooms?

I prefer the Thai way. At least here you know it's hers from the get go, in the UK some men think it's theirs.

i thought you had me on ignore? Topic is "How much salary ......"

45 days on entry for me now.

Manual unlock, no key fob. Press and hold seat/lock switch, for 3-5 seconds (lock light on display comes on) then release. Ready with the 9 digit fob code. Press switch once more, then 5 seconds to enter each number with presses of the switch, waiting for the 5 second beep between each number. 0 is no presses, 1 is 1 press. After that the bike is unlocked and ready to start and drive. Note: at end of driving must press and hold switch for 5 seconds to turn the remote fob back on.

But why would I want to make that much effort, I'm not broke. Roosh V (king of pickup artists) use to get lots of free ones, but I wouldn't have wanted any of the ones he banged ........ 4s and 5s, with maybe a 6 thrown in.

If there's no symptoms, why would i care? At 67 I don't really care if I live any longer. Crossing the road in Thailand is more dangerous than most STDs. If you want to live life as a frightened little girl, that's up to you.

Are you claiming the vast majority 60+ year olds can have sex with attractive young women without paying?

i usually take antibiotics 3-4x a year (usually for infected insect bites). Haven't caught herpes, despite living with 2 girls that had it. Guess I'm just lucky.

Easily cured with antibiotics, 25-40Bht over the counter. Not something to rule your life over.
