It doesn't matter how long it lasts because, 1. We'll probably be dead soon. 2. The women are instantly replaceable, usually with one younger and prettier.

I wouldn't dare drive a car in Saigon.

Nah, women like bad men, it's a choice they make. Sad she was killed, but dangerous to interfere in a man/woman dispute, I would have walked on by, not my business.

Odd, I get good advice from anonymous strangers all the time. What's the best cream for this rash ..... How do I build this battery bank with Lifepo4s .......... What documentation do I need for a VISA to country xxx ........... Where can I buy Marmite ............ I nearly always get good answers.

Agree, but would add better down south in Vietnam. But this was before COVID, no idea what it's like now. Basically, any country without welfare is good for single men. Also agree with CharlieH, no need to avoid Thailand, just change towns.

True for any country that doesn't give single moms welfare.

Agree, over priced tourist trap. Best avoided completely.

Tired of sitting on Da Nang beach ..... there's a public bus to Hoi An.

If you're in Saigon, take the fast ferry down to Vung Tau beach for a day or two.

Ninh Binh is worth a look, a short train ride South of Hanoi.

No wind in Thailand, except during storms where there's too much wind for the turbine to work.

My house was built 8 years back by a KKN, all MCB. They also managed to build the house with the incoming live and neutral reversed. So not required by the PEA in Chiang Mai.

Sounds like I'm harder than you.

My girlfriend with a machete, then my wife with a carving knife. Neither of which were in a scabbard.

Plenty for sale around Chiang Mai on FaceBook Marketplace ........

I've got 2 packs of 2nd hand batteries powering my house, about 50,000bht worth. Not sure they were worthwhile. The main problem being the sellers always slip a few non-working batteries in your order. Wish I'd paid the money for new.

I've always felt I was their victim.

They make aluminium 'wood effect' skirting now. Not expensive and completely bug proof. Had to replace some of mine with it after a similar termite attack.

She was probably waving the sword at the time and he would agree to anything that would make her leave ASAP.

Seems to be a bit of a wimp. Could have easily taken the sword from her. Or just closed the door and called the police.

First tell me when you were last in China?

Another night of rain, and still raining at 9:30am. Getting a bit tired of this now.

Yes, I never understand men that live with a woman and have no sex with them. I can only guess they are looking to replace their mothers.

I'm a white English guy, why would I care what happens to someone in Iraq? Not my country, not my religion, not my race.

The only document that counts in Thailand, is the stamp in your passport. Learning to look at the date on it is an important survival skill.
