  1. Maybe it's a story of happiness: the wife perhaps is happy that such a guy left her (and perhaps her friends back home will ask her admiringly how the f... she did it) the Katoey is happy to have found such a guy who will pay for his house on MIL land, and he, the guy, is happy. Now. It is said that there is no place in the world like Thailand to turn dreams into nightmares. But in fact it is not so, some dreams are born, come true and stay. Look at the wife and the Katoey.
  2. Ah,what an interesting post: so, you don't care (and besides, who cares about you?). Others do.
  3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_the_United_States#18th-century_wars
  4. I.e. Americans, British the West world as the troublemakers causing all postwar wars. If you haven't figured it out yet, figure it out quickly. And yeah, it sucks
  5. If it can be partial consolation, or perhaps a wake-up call, this is also the case in Europe. To name a few: Germany, Denmark, Holland, Sweden, Belgium, England has already been mentioned. All Arab-Islamic neighborhoods. Where Islam is not religion, it is political identity. Not to mention France: a minister of the Interior who proposed to take back control of at least the first thirty out-of-control neighborhoods in France (thirty!) was fired. I myself, when I am in Europe, live in a neighborhood where at night, you are woken up by cars with very loud music: Arabic music. And where there are gangs (drugs and prostitution) of Arab-Islamic people. Very violent. You are right that these communities have a very hard time integrating. Islamists should have the courage to stoop even to the dark pages of their own past and present. Who knows, maybe in some time.
  6. Yes, the crowds (in no Covid times) at temples, museums and monuments are all illusions of Samsara. But what are you saying? Plenty of Asians, some Indians, Arabs don't have time to go there so busy between malls and luxury hotels, and then there are many Westerners who don't feel like dying idiots.
  7. Is it sarcasm? If it is not: in my very personal experience, Thai people can get drunk to death, but I have never seen them ever aggressive, not in the way that we Westerners can be.
  8. A trick to stop the attack of any raging dog? Get on all fours immediately. Every dog is frightened and stopped by seeing that strange animal on all fours. The problem is that then on all fours you have to stay there, because if you get up the spell wears off...
  9. Thai smile is all to be understood. Ignorance? Foolishness? Harsh as a judgment. I don't feel like speaking ill of those who haven't had the same opportunities I've had in life
  10. A way to keep people away from your beloved Chiang mai
  11. And the strange thing is that when the birds are silent, you still can't hear yourself thinking, right? Go for a swim with the buffalo and don't blame the poor birds. You already have a black heart, whatever that means, swimming in the puddle completes the work
  12. May be, as Western men, a sexual and emotional frustration that we carry with us from the life in our countries, where pleasures and emotions are denied or allowed to a few. The daily drudgery of living in our countries... Add to that the change of age that a man experiences say from age 55 and up, with the sudden realization that we are not eternal...and you are likely to lose your mind. Which then basically is exactly what we want. But without being able anymore to think of the consequences (Calculation and emotions are a contradiction in terms, aren't they?).
  13. May be, as Western men, a sexual and emotional frustration that we carry with us from the life in our countries, where pleasures are denied or allowed to a few, usually those who have money, I mean a lot of money...

Which then basically is exactly what we want. But without being able anymore to think of the consequences.
  14. Does anyone know if the five years in prison spent in Spain is considered part of the sentence? That would reduce the sentence to three years from today..
  15. Don't they use NATO Phonetic alphabet (i.e. Romeo / Lima) in Tower control-airplane communications?
  16. Sadly no but I would gladly laugh reading a post of yours that tries to respond in a meaningful way to the opinion and facts presented by others. Or maybe you just leave the bar, grab a banana and get back in the jungle so we are all better off
  17. The many and very detailed rules to protect yourself against Covid are still valid because Covid is still present, albeit in less virulent forms. Among the most important are: Maintain an interpersonal safety distance of at least one meter. If impossible, wear a mask. Wear a mask in all indoor public places or places open to the public. In addition, the scientific evidence currently available indicates that the survival time of the virus on surfaces varies depending on the type of surface. The detection times of viral particles on the most common surfaces vary from a few hours (e.g. on paper) to several days (e.g. on plastic and stainless steel). The decision of Thailand and many other countries to ban masks is a political decision based on the reasoning that with the same risk of infection, infections decrease due to the greater protection provided by vaccines, together with a reasoning of economic opportunity,
  18. One year in jail...shocking. It would be interesting to know the motivation of the sentence. In any case, cases like that i.e. killing in road incidents and very soft punishment happen in Europe as well. Road incidents' legislation is not as tough as it should be in many countries, one should wonder why.
