Thought the girl looked quite attractive.

Can't speak for the Thai economy, but it certainly prevents my wife & kids from having to live in her family's corrugated iron hut.

Cant say I'm all that keen to share foot disease with Thais. But hey, if they insist they want my verruca's and athletes foot ....... enjoy!

The two western countries with the worst currencies and economic outlook in the western world. Not to mention completely irrelevant on the world stage. And if Aussies don't like bullies, why are you always the nastiest sprayers during songkran?

Anyone who didn't vote for Hillary or Kamala.

So Labour are surprised taking 500GBP away from nearly every OAP household has resulted in pensioners no longer voting for them! Surely they can't be that stupid, it was entirely predictable.

I've been loads of times, and it's always been great, no problems. Probably the best sight seeing in the world.

Most Thais don't rent rooms with appliances ..... maybe an old fridge. But generally landlords rent because they want money. And western foreigners aren't significant as tenants. Plenty of potential Thai customers.

I was last there in 2016, went to all the museums, hung out in Hyde park/Kensington gardens every day, no problems at all weather was nice, Starbucks had a half price offer every afternoon.

Me too, but if I wasn't already here, I probably wouldn't be coming.

Don't think there are any western men in Thailand that aren't low class.

My TCL 75" is the best TV I've ever owned and cheap, 16,500bht from Lazada. Had it for over a year and it's perfect. 3 year warranty. Samsung and LG twice the price only 1 year warranty, and I had one fail after 18 months that Samsung couldn't repair.

My kids government school fees due next week, 8,000bht. The misses is out buying his uniforms right now, about 5,000bht for 2 pairs of shoes, 2x school uniform, 1x scout outfit, 1x gym outfit, 1x traditional Lanna outfit, bag, books, pencils, embroidery his name on each shirt. Most sold by the school shop at inflated prices, if you don't buy from them, your kid doesn't attend! And my kids pal, I just paid his government school fees, 5,000 and he gets my kids shoes and uniforms s/h from last year. His mom is broke, trying to earn 200bht a day on market stalls, selling whatever she can find.

Wearing an outfit inspired by the ladies of Soi 6!

Have you ever been to Thailand?

Viet beaches are all deserted during the day, then packed at sunset. All rather odd from our western POV, but all the locals want white skin and hide from the sun.

Unlikely, We all have access to sex with women at bargain prices. So no desire to pay for photos of women.

I'm waiting until they offer a free girlfriend!

What was wrong with keeping a month's money in wise? No need to wait then.

3 year marriage visa, or child visa sounds good though $135. I believe you need to border bounce every 180 days. Not that much effort, bus from Saigon to Phnom Penh is cheap.

I thought Britons had red hair, ran around naked, waving swords and covered in blue ink! Maybe I got my history wrong?

Nah, no pensioner will ever vote for them again. No point in them changing, we old folk will remember until we're dead. That's 10-15 years until Labour will possibly win again. So the 4 years they have, is all they'll get. Their only chance of victory will be to flood the country with immigrants!

I'd legalize all drugs, then sell them in pharmacies and bars at cost + 10%. No more cartels, no more thieving to support drug habits, no more accidental overdose, many less people in prison. And if the users want to overdose ....... why not let them, their bodies, their choice. There's nothing you can do to stop them, so might as well be legal and as safe as possible.

Let not quibble over a year .......... but over 18 or in their 18th year?

Under 35 years old, weighing less than 50Kg, and being a female from birth. I think that's covered everything!
