7/11 and Thai Visa, two constants for expats in Thailand.

I know plenty of expats who aren't interested in Thai Visa, too - this place is a laughing stock to a fair chunk of the expat population.

Why would I make something like that up?

This place is hilarious. Some of you are so freaked out by anything even slightly outside the narrow expat stereotype that you immediately assume it must be a lie.

There are much better places than this to ask questions. I just come here to point and laugh.

No, I don't shop in 7/11.

I live in Thailand. I just don't shop in 7/11 because there are plenty of more appealing shops to choose from.

So it sells a load of processed shit, but no actual food?

Does anyone have any idea how tall the OP is?

The 'English' in 'English Literature' refers to the language, not the nationality.

What is the point in paying for a girlfriend?

I think some guys find it an easier option than attracting one on merit alone.

Some prefer an employer/employee relationship to one built on equality and mutual respect.

Pretty tragic either way, really.

Pretty much any woman from any culture looks to her man as a wallet with a ....

Nonsense.

Come back to Earth S Biker...... Bar industry dead? There are some really outrageously nutty comments on this venue, but yours tops em all. I really want to know what would make a person say such an obviously wrong thing.

It might hasten the demise of an industry that's already on it's last legs. Can't say I'll shed a tear.

Dead? No. But dying? Sure seems that way.

Nice hat. Shiny.

Of course. Look at the forum I'm posting on.

If it was a football forum, they'd mostly be about football.

3. Thai girls tend to snag a farang and he has little choice in the matter. Before he knows it she has trapped him.

Just saying.

Either way, once you are married you will be miserable like the rest of us.

Of course he has a choice. If you chose to be led by the dick, that's your problem.

Married and happy, by the way.

Way to live down to a stereotype there.

No problems in Bangkok, I've out and about for the last 3 days, haven't seen a single soldier yet.

I've seen just the one. He looked pretty bored.

Take the high road smile and move on. something like that happened to me in Pattaya A Mauy Thai boxer in a ring in the bar said something about my Mom who passed away a few years before. I walked in to bar up to his trainer and asked If I may get in ring with his fighter. He said yes I get in ring And bowed to him as is expected. Then put my size 13 in his face knocking him out cold. Went to the ropes stepped out of ring bowed to his trainer and told him when he wakes up tell him he owes me the cost of a massage And I will be back to collect. And walked out of bar. Manager was shocked but told him 7th degree black belt in Kung <deleted>.

And then you woke up, right?

Wow. Did none of you get taught about 'sticks and stones...'?

It's concerning that there are so many highly-strung types walking around ready to explode at the slightest perceived provocation.

I have. I just don't let it make the decisions.
