BritManToo

I'd liked to have known that back in the UK, age 20, before I married a Brit woman. Already knowing that, Thailand's been great. PS. I also already knew ...... there are no good ones!

Things I can't live without (in no particular order). Fast internet, BIG TV, English muffins, crumpets, bacon, ham, British sausages, Crunchie bars .........

Toasted English muffins with butter and Marmite.

I have 2x cheap air fryers, one for meat, one for chips.

What have they got against Taylor Swift?

Let the Thai gf tip as much of her money as she wants!

Kippers with bread and butter.

TL:DR

I don't look at the bill (in the bin), or count my change, so I never have a problem with being under/over charged or the wrong change.

Thai government. Jail 5-10 years.

Until they actually start punishing Thai drivers running through lights And crossings, nothing will ever change.

I've had many really beautiful women in Thailand/PI/Cambodia/Vietnam, all 7s and up. Back in the UK it was hard to get a 5. OK, so they've all been a bit used by their 30s, but I'm also a bit used in my 60s.

I am not, nor have I ever been a participant in AN/TV.

It might happen, but I'd just leave and buy a DTV. Or failing that, abandon my house, mortgage and family for Cambodia or PI.

I thought Hoi An was the worst example of a tourist trap I've ever seen, all coffee shops and souvenir shops, with shoulder to shoulder Chinese tourists. I only managed 90 minutes before I caught the bus out.

I don't watch TV I don't know any foreigners I don't participate on social media I don't read, write or speak Thai Even if they do want me to pay income tax (which I doubt), how would I know about it?

Presumably they'll be teaching that blaming the far right for everything is a government conspiracy.

Airbnb gives you twice the bang for your buck in Vietnam. Don't know why!

Can't remember, I just choose from Airbnb, by area (close to beach) that I like. Here's one I'd be happy with..... https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/733893444591231016?adults=2&location=Da Nang%2C Vietnam&search_mode=regular_search&check_in=2024-08-28&check_out=2024-08-31&source_impression_id=p3_1723425871_P3SwIEOMSbIy75RP&previous_page_section_name=1001

Disagree, STDs are more prevalent in countries where you are required to pay a doctor to get antibiotics. In Thailand you can buy Moxy for 40bht from any pharmacy.

Tarts and Vicars ..... was a yearly 'freshers' event at my UK university. For some reason the guys always used to go dressed as tarts, and the girls always used to go dressed as vicars. I went twice but never bothered to dress up.

I always get somewhere near the beach (under 200m). The beach at Da Nang is amazing, sand is clean, sea is clear. Worth a walk or two along and at least one swim every day.

I'm 68 and haven't had sex since last night!
