I've read ZERO ONE Two, they are written for the weak. Hang on, I did read how to load your own ammo and cast bullets. And how to make soap. TEOTWAWKI is coming!

Unless his first rule is .......... 'never trust the woman in your bed' ....... he's an idiot. Made it to rule 4, utter tosh ............ PS. His eyes, either insane or a speed freak. PPS. Rule number 1: You don't talk about Fight Club.

Jai dee, kee neow, salop salai ...............

Not that big a deal IMHO. In UK government school you get to mix with Pakistani, Somali, Syrian, Portuguese, Polish kids all the time. (To name but a few)

It tells me they associate with prostitutes ................ Along with 'heart talk', never heard any Thai that isn't a hooker using heart talk. Rule 1 of Thai language, Never repeat the 'special words' used almost exclusively by Thai prostitutes ...............

You're also making a false equivalency in racial slurs. 'farang' and 'Asian-foreigner' are in no way equivalents. But I'm not going to post the equivalent slur for Thais as I don't want to be banned from the forum. I would have no problem with anyone calling me the 'Brit man', but I strenuously object to any terms grouping me with the French or the Germans.

If there had been 1,000 universities on the list, Thailand would have ranked as 997th out of 1,000. 47th place out of 50 isn't really that big a boast!

As far as I can see the property laws in Thailand aren't all that different to the property laws in the west. As a male if you marry or cohabit in the west, she owns at least 50% of the property if not all.

Yep, my parents used to load up the camper van and drive down to Spain every year for 6 weeks.

It fills in the gaps between reading a book, watching a movie/TV series and listening to music.

I'd be temped to sack all the staff and padlock the gates. Then run an advertising campaign at next election time for new representatives, with the promise to re-hire and re-open when the act is repealed.

"he'd warned her about a lack of "Thainess"" He certainly showed her what Thainess was!

I've had lots of pets, they lived a life of ease, no unspeakable suffering for them. Can't say my parents/grandparents lived lives of unspeakable suffering either. For me, A few sad times, some dull periods, but nothing ever unspeakable.

Those big trucks are really dangerous. I always keep well clear of them.

Outer Range, TV series, 4 episodes out. Described as Yellowstone meets Supernatural. Strange happenings on a modern ranch in the Yellowstone area.

Nope, I was totally ignored by the authorities in China, and Vietnam/Philippines/Cambodia.

Only when the government offers to replace the man (welfare, housing and security). Most women can't make it without assistance.

I've never had any stress or worry from my 6 kids. Very rarely any harsh words or raised voices either. My remaining 10 year old is no trouble at all. Thinking of taking in a 12yo Thai niece from the village.

The very annoying guy deserved the punches, I thought Tyson was surprisingly restrained.

Seems unlikely.

Just to point out, Facial recognition is only good for 5-7 years, after that they need a new photo. As for her looks, fairly decent for a white girl, much more attractive than my Brit wife. Obviously not up to my Asian woman standards, but we're all a bit spoilt here.

Nearly all sex is paid for, some guys seem to think they didn't spend any money on the house and car in her name. Obviously we all got a couple of free ones with the local drunken club sluts on a Friday/Saturday night when we were young, but if you went back for seconds it was no longer free. Did you buy her a house Possum? Do you give her housekeeping money every month Possum? I bet you did, and probably much more than the one I hire to pretend to love me.

2009 I arrived in Thailand with a 1 year ME non 'O' VISA given so I could 'look around the country'. ZERO paperwork, just a 1 page form to fill in and post off with my passport and 120GBP, granted and returned in 5 days. Then all the guys I met here living here for years on monthly 'waiver on entry', with a van ride to MaeSai every month. If nothing has changed ...... why can't I/they get that now?

I was also there for 2 weeks in October 2019 and saw 100s of foreign tourists. This photo taken in 'Beer street', but they were all round the lake as well. Also went on a food tour around the center with 10 other white tourists.

Up in Chiang Mai we've had 3 days at 35c, the rest of this year has been mostly cool, 30c or less, with frequent rain. The air-con has only been on for 2 hours this month.
