I leave them at least 1000bht better off than when I found them. Sometimes food and drinks as well.

1. You're joking right? 2. I invoke Godwin's Law ....... you lose.

Why do you feel it's important to do things like that? Always amazed about what some people consider are important freedoms. While totally missing what's really important in day to day living.

So you were the only middle aged man on the planet not to know the reason Pattaya was famous. As for your son, if he was under 14 he wouldn't notice, if he was over 14 it would have been constantly on his mind anyway.

20,000 tickets sold in a 3 month period doesn't seem a lot to me. 200 people a day ..... I've been to bars & restaurants that had more customers than that.

This was a Thai madam, Thai girl, Thai customers ...... no bars either.

Why should the West fight for the East?

I've been hoping mine would run off for years ............. no signs yet!

With or without underwear? It's an important point (or should that be points?).

Why would one of those want any of us?

1. When she abducted my children and served divorce papers on me. 2. I played no part in any of it, unless being middle aged and a bit dull is a reason to divorce a guy. 30 years house was empty one evening when I came home ZERO contact with her or the 4 kids since yes yes and yes I thought so I've found plenty of lovers since, the Asian girls have all been great.

Would point out, having spent a little time in China, and a lot of time in the UK, China appeared freer than the nanny state that is the UK. Suspect America is the same with very little personal freedom. As for Russia and the Ukraine, it's a long way away, and I don't really care if people I don't know and probably wouldn't like kill each other.

They could also work for a living. Farming, factory, building .................... But you're right lazy women in Thailand can't live off welfare like they do in the west.

Yes, I've had 4 from them recently ........ 3,200 +240bht each post = 3,450. I also had another order with them cancelled after a week 'out of stock'. Not entirely reliable, but the only game in town at the moment.

I went to China for a holiday a couple of years back. It was really nice and totally unlike the 'police state' western media would have us believe. Immigration didn't even look at me, despite being the only white face on the flight. Nobody followed me or cared what I was doing, the police were really nice and polite (when I got a bit lost). I spent a very nice 2 weeks hiking in the mountains on my own, almost no people around once out of town. The people seemed happy, if poor like everywhere else in Asia.

On ignore.

Mono usually give more watts for your buck. I suspect the 345w poly for 3,200bht don't actually exist, more like 3,600 inc delivery at the moment.

Today's efforts ......... New battery pack finished and charged. The two -ve terminals out of the BMS will bolt together (middle bottom). The +ve needed a strap (left of frame), made from 4x 4mm wires and a couple of crimp connectors. I'm assuming the 4mm wire is good for at least 25A so 4x 25 = 100A. Waiting for the sun to go down to bolt them together, I'll turn off one BMS charge and discharge in the phone app when I do it, so I can switch between battery packs in the app.

Comprehension problem? I always clearly state if I wasn't already here, I probably wouldn't be coming now. Back in 2009, when I arrived, Thailand was the best of all the Asean countries. Now it isn't, for many reasons. Cambodia and the Philippines are much better choices for retired gentlemen today. Vietnam would be better as well, if only they sorted out their VISA problems.

Normally his house and his pension, neither of which he wants to lose.

I don't know about you, but I mainly participate in the 'fun areas' of the forums. What is a high quality man/woman, can you have a relationship with a woman 20 years your junior, etc. Threads don't have to be nice, to be fun, I'm having a whale of a time in Asia, and on this forum. If I didn't enjoy living in Thailand, I'd move elsewhere. If I didn't enjoy posting on AseanNow, I'd post elsewhere. Life is what you make of it, there's nobody else to blame.

It also pays basic medical insurance to the driver.

My life in Thailand is a 'feel good' story. I have a nice house, a pension, a much younger woman, children, pets, warm weather, beer, food ..... Life is better than I had ever imagined for an old guy at the end of his life ..........

Me neither, I don't have insurance Live in a gated community Generate my own electricity Don't need help paying the mortgage Own a car, m/c and scooter And have enough pension to buy what I like. Enjoy living in your nanny state in a single room with no personal transport, no sex and a woman your own age (if you can find one that doesn't prefer cats).

Don't watch the news and you won't have a problem.
