My sex life didn't start until I was 52 and in Thailand. Then it really kicked off, I also moved in with a nympho but only lasted 9 months as 5x a day was killing me.

If they doubled the financial requirements or insisted on health insurance .......... I'd just walk away from my woman and children and mortgage, and move to the Philippines or Cambodia. Can't see how that would help Thailand.

I'd say good people don't have tattoos. Easy way to keep foreign scumbags out of the country, no tattoos. Easy to check and enforce as well.

Slightly different as the Filipino family can also speak English and will actually call you by your name instead of you always being 'the farang'.

It's essentially the same game in a different country. For me it's not more fun, but it is as much fun, same as Cambodia and Vietnam. BUT, if you're one of those guys that wants to talk with his bed partners the Filipino ladies are well ahead in the game. They talk our language, watch our movies, listen to our music and understand our humour and culture.The people are generally more friendly than Thais, and it's easy to make pals with guys or girls (something impossible in Thailand), and they do actually appear to like foreigners. Not to mention it's really easy for a foreigner to live in the Philippines compared to Thailand. No income or savings required.

This post applies to over 50s white guys with under 40s Thai women. Probably because we think they're either 1) lying or 2) delusional or 3) dating really ugly women.

Meanwhile, back in the UK, 8th wettest July ever, and cooler than usual. https://www.nationalworld.com/news/weather/uk-weather-met-offie-july-2023-one-of-wettest-on-record-britain-summer-rain-4240052

Me too and me neither. Sex was very hard to get in the UK. Normal rule was pay for 3 dates gets you sex once. Get married and get sex once a month, with her getting your house and pension at the end.

I suspect PT agreed not to limit cannabis for Anutin (and the people of Thailand) And Anutin agreed to let Thaksin return (for the Laos speaking Thai majority) Which seems a pretty good deal for everyone IMHO. MF could have made the same deal, but refused and so lost out.

Mf only got a small part of the people's vote.

Don't see it as a problem. MF didn't get that many extra votes. Lots of other democratic Euro governments have been formed without the biggest vote winning party as boss.

Legalised cannabis.

Tourist doesn't mean foreigner.

You've confused the words 'alpha' with 'weak' Genghis Khan was the greatest alpha male .......

Are you now claiming the consensus is no longer a consensus?

The problem with consensus is whom you ask, If you ask all the Christians if they believe in God, you will get a 100% consensus. If you ask all the Climate scientists if they believe in climate change .............. Cult members always believe their cult leaders.

Not everyone likes dog poop everywhere. If the dog had been on a lead, it wouldn't be dead.

You think in the past 8 years 60,000,000 more Thais are paying income tax? Or did the COVID closures reduce the numbers paying income tax? Which do you think is more likely?

This page suggests only 5% of Thais regularly pay income tax. https://asiafoundation.org/2015/04/15/thailand-and-taxes/ "Many Thais, both rich and poor, are simply outside of the tax system. Just three million Thais out of 67 million regularly pay income taxes."

She was so depressed she strangled herself with her phone charger wire. No need for further investigation .......... suicide!

80% of Thais have never paid income tax ..........

I wouldn't live anywhere without good internet. It's not for working, it's for entertainment, books, movies, tv shows, music, social media, forums.

Hard to produce evidence of Gods existence or not. Let's face it Climate change is your god. They used to argue about how many angels would fit on a pin. Now they argue about CO2 reduction. Neither matters whether real or imaginary, there's nothing we can do about it.

Happened at a coworking space in Chiang Mai a few years back. Rounded everyone up and down to the police station, not sure how it ended for them.

I'm fairly confident Global warming will have destroyed the world before Thailand gets taxing digital nomads sorted out.
