Pretty much the same schedule for me day in and day out.
Up by 5 am hit the bathroom shower and shave and out the door by 5:45 after a couple of cups of coffee (sometimes a bite to eat). Then to a golf course where I either play or hit balls...JUST ABOUT EVERY <deleted> DAY ! That Keeps the mind and body active for me. After playing I either go eat and stop at Starbucks or go back home and eat. Afternoons are spent watching T.V. or on the computer as I am a moderator or member of some forums.
I have not stepped foot into a bar for several years as I usually do not drink at all. There seems to be always something going on as invites to friends homes or a family gathering in the evening is common.
I am a firm believer when someone retires they need something to keep them active, that they can enjoy doing, if they want to live a quality life. When I vapor lock I would like to be in the middle of my back swing or in bed with my wife which after all these years has brain washed me into believing I could not nor do I wish to live without her. So I guess you could say for me.... Just another day in paradise

I had a friend rather well placed in the military who 3 years ago asked me why I thought tourist came to Thailand. I told him families come for a look around and the Thai culture where as the guys come for the women and maybe a future wife ..
"You really think they just come for the women"?
I replied, "That is what they tell me" yet he found it hard to believe,, Three years later with all the crack downs on the bars and bar girls maybe I was a fortune teller after all, judging by some of the tourist numbers, No ?..

Like other Taiwanese if I lived there I would fight to the death before I surrendered and was placed under the yoke of the Communist Chinese.
Off topic, but, even Hong Kong knows better than to let the Communist extradite people with a dissenting voice if their 2 million strong protest is any sign.. Involuntary organ harvesting and the reeducation camps where an estimated couple of million are indentured slaves or worse should be enough for most countries to say, "No thank you" to the communist idea of a totally controlled society !
I bet China and their territorial war hawks are besides themselves with angst and are severely pissed. They have been doing war games of a full blown invasion of Taiwan for as long as I have been alive. Ooops back to the planning board.
QuoteBut when the BBC journalist asks questions of those held, they espouse scripted, almost robotic answers.
“Is it your choice to be here?” one man was asked. “Yes,” he replied, without hesitation. “A policeman at my village told me to get enrolled in the school and transform my thoughts.”
As interviews are conducted by a heavily-screened group of journalists, Chinese government agents watch on.

If I would have known sooner I would have gone to watch. I personally find Singha a boring course, but it always seems the fairways and greens are about as good as it gets in Thailand.
Good luck ladies!

36 minutes ago, Misterwhisper said:Look at what has happens in many Sub-Saharan African countries who welcomed Chinese investments with open arms. Their natural resources are being shamelessly and systematically plundered by what some economists have described as "new colonialism".
Yes, the short-term gains are luring. But the creeping domination and eventual wholesome reliance that Chinese involvement fosters in the long term, eventually only leaves one winner: China.
I would say you hit that nail on the head. Another thing to consider IMO is look at the country you are dealing with and how they treat their own citizens not to mention their outrageous claims and demands in the South China sea.
Daddy used to say if you walk across a cow lot enough times you start smelling like a cow.
Before anyone gets into bed with the communist Chinese they might want to open their eyes and view a little past and current history.. Unfortunately there may be those in S.E. Asia who love the people control the Chinese exert over their population.

Most people end up living where their mate/wife is from.. Call it a family kinda thing..
All places have their benefits and not so good benefits. What are the things you like to do ? Golfing then find a city that has several golf courses within a reasonable distance and price. There is tournament pool for people who like to play pool/billiards in most of the small to larger cities that have westerners or Farangs ..
I nearly moved to Pattaya just for the golf several years ago but the traffic and roads were a big turn off for me.. but the golfing there (surrounding area) is hard to beat.
Unless you are talking about a small village most cities have restaurants and even a few bars if that is your thing..
Like another poster said it just depends on what you like to do... I would avoid the deep deep south unless you like the bombs and bullets of the radical separatist which can be bothersome at times.

All they want are their own separate lands with their own laws and taxes which will pay for more bombs and bullets while they breed more idiots to kill bystanders.. I could go on but sometimes it is better to just keep you thoughts to yourself.

I am old enough to remember when most people did not have insurance and a Doctor's visit did not break the bank..Then came insurance, either private or through the employer, and the prices of just about everything became 10X+ more expensive.. The same thing will happen here as there is money to be made from people's suffering.. Give it a few years (20 would be my guess if not sooner) and people will be paying a fortune monthly with big deductibles... Just because the insurance companies and the hospitals can get away with it.. It is a symbiotic relationship.

Think about life after the military. Get an education, go to flight training (if your health and eyes permit it) do your time in the military as a trained military pilot and when you get out (or are fed up with the military B.S.) you can go to work for an airline and make a decent living... There is a major shortage of pilots the world over presently and I do not see it easing anytime soon.. Conversely there are not so many military occupations that so readily transfer to the civilian word.. Aircraft Mechanics, air traffic controllers, and a few other occupations you can probably think of.. While being a grunt and the best shot in your unit does not transfer to a well paying civilian job usually..

Back in the 70s there were serious wet T-Shirts and no Bras during Songkran and no one complained... I guess the "where is my closet to hide and cry in" was not available for the netcitizens who did the complaining on line this time ?
The country was freer and certainly poorer back then but everyone had fun when they could and there was a feeling most had a chance at upward mobility.. Maybe I just was in the wrong crowd...?

Kim went to the bargaining table saying ease or do away with the sanctions or we will not do any more with regards to our missile development .... Trump said in that case meeting over (paraphrasing).... Does not sound to me Kimmy got what he wanted unlike in the past when he squeaked and uncle sugar threw money and aide at him..

Thailand had loads of high spending westerners for decades until they decided to trade them in for millions of zero dollar Chinese tourist..
The western guys bought houses, married Thais, and tried to live in country.. Are the Chinese or anyone else doing the same thing in such past large numbers ?

I guess they could not find someone at Fox who was a sure deal to leak the questions to the democratic presidential hopefuls before the debate ?

Right out of the Communist Chinese play book.. Just a first step but like anything with any government it will grow into something most would never have thought of.

I do not like taxes or free hand outs as all over the world the system is abused to buy votes or give special privileges to those in favor. If any country wants to help the poor provide infrastructure, education, and jobs; which is money well spent IMO.

Bill Weld has the right to an opinion, no matter how misguided he is. Record employment rates for minorities, tackling historic trade defecits, a booming economy and hugely increased respect on the world stage. Doesn't sound so bad does it? Mr Weld is lucky in that he will get to tackle his biases and hopefully work through it over the next 6 years. Trump will ace the 2020 election. First the democrats do not have a single serious candidate, and 2nd the media still have not realized Trump is playing them like fools, all this free publicity for nothing. You just can't beat it.
There are so many things to look at down this road some are pushing that it is disgusting. I do feel that the socialist/communist/ or the destroyers of western society are not really after Trump but after you and me.... Trump is just in the way.. Why more can not realize that just goes to show how effective their programs really are.. If HRC had become POTUS it would have been all singing and praise as she and her cabal finished cutting down the tree of liberty IMO..

Forecasters have trouble predicting tomorrow's weather - this article is a waste of pixels.
NOAA said this winter would be warmer than normal back in November 2018 for the states and Europe.. They were wrong then as most of their long term forecast are.

Another month another bombing or shooting by these poor misunderstood little darlings. Maybe they should bring back display crucification. Line the roads and see how long they can hang around (sarc)

5 minutes ago, Srikcir said:Joen is a[n] euphemism employed as a catch-all to describe Malay-Muslim separatists and is akin to “goons” or “bandits.”
Typical term used by the Thai military to divert the Thai public from the real underlying issue of Buddhist suppression of Muslim religion, culture and tradition in the southern provinces. This alleged Buddhist monk who sounds more like a military propagandist is inciting more insurgency violence against Buddhist leadership.
In spite of all the history with country after country, if anyone needs repressing it is the radical Shari/Suni law Muslims IMO.
