Nearly every other pickup truck in this country seems to have had its computer remapped. 

As a frequent motorbike rider, im sick of being behind these things on the road. 

All i can do is reduce my speed in order to get out of the black cloud. 

The government could start by failing these trucks at the anual test. 

Annual test 😂

15 years here and never known anyone to have a test or be ordered to have one. Same as dumping rubbish, trucks dumping unused concrete, waste of any sort on the road side, nobody really gives a <deleted>.

I agree about the pickups, I like to ride bikes but the over fueling of diesels is a big pain in the lungs

I wonder how many of these 'mental illness' cases are caused by overuse of cannabis, yabba or whatever else is popular in Thailand.

Duh... wonder away.

You don't understand my original post.  One member got it. One.  Only one! 

 

Let me put it a different way - Men, real men who come here, need to stop being such pussies or pushovers. I am amazed that people who lived in the West made money, maybe raised a child or two, allowed toothless papas to dictate what they did, and made them conform to third-world customs. 

 

What about our customs? If women want a foreigner, which is the first gate, they need to learn our customs. 

 

It's the same when I see a Brit riding with his child in front of him on a motorbike. The child has no helmet. Where did this Brit learn to do like this? In Britain? I doubt it.  The last Brit I ran into had his little airbag before him. 

 

When did he learn to be stupid? Would he drive around with his baby in Britain?  No. 

 

When my boy was a baby, his mother wanted to take him on the motorbike, saying she wasn't going far. 

 

NO. 

 

She is now married to another American as of last month, and he got the 3.0 version. She is quite a prize, but she didn't start that way. Again, 3.0 version. She is fluent in English, has learned many of our ways, and agrees our way is better.  I wish them the best of luck. 

 

I have three women.  Yes, 3. I spend time with each of them, and they all know each other. 

 

45, 40, and 38. My 45-year-old looks 35. All speak English now, and they are all learning a different way of living. 

 

I tell everyone that Thailand is outside my front doors. Inside the condos, we are Americans. We make decisions as Americans, not Thai. 

 

I could go on. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sour grapes? No. 

Yep...  Sour as Tamarind. 😊 Just joking 

OP sounds a bit sour grapes.

I'm in a relationship with a Thai woman 25 years my junior. She was interested in me for my humour, consideration of others and I'm in no doubt that I was a more attractive prospect than most local men.

Our relationship has stood the test of time and extended periods apart for 7 years. We had a daughter 8 years ago. Got married February this year. 

I paid sinsod, not a large amount. A token. I guess It will keep the MIL in food for maybe 6 months. Am I a fool, some of you will say yes. Fair enough.

I'm confident in our relationship that we, my wife and I, will share our assets and the survivors, probably her and our daughter will be the beneficiaries. 

Good on us

Warning: Beware of Sharks and Eels horror if going to Samui beach's in 2024.  Especially around Bophut. Try not to drop your wallet in shock.  

Yes, I thought that a rather strange start to the story lol

FFS...  no more to say

Sad that the Thai minimum wage, which I presume they would be getting paid, is more attractive than what they may get at home.

Come on guys, don't be so harsh. There's a market for + size women 

To admit that the issues are actually themselves would be a loss of face. The 'problems' will never be themselves, always someone else unless there is damning evidence to the contrary.

I don't know any of what you have stated as fact.  The guy who was involved in the failed ferry from Sattahip to Koh Samui spoke of inspections for their ship.

 

The design of the vessel that sank disturbs me more than a lack of inspections.  The beam is narrow and there's a lot of superstructure above the deck. The high center of gravity would cause pronounced rolling in rough water.  There's also a large amount of sail area, so you wouldn't want to take wind on the beam.  

 

I've got to ask, are you an a s shole in person or just when your fingers are on a keyboard? If Thailand makes you so miserable there are hourly flights from BKK that can whisk you back to what used to be civilization, though you might find things back home less to your liking than they were a few years ago. 

You're the one getting bitter, look at your a s shole reply. Typical of a sour old man with nothing better to do than whinge like all your mates on this site

you sound like a sour old man with a very negative attitude, who gives a S--- what you saw! Normally when a boat breaks in half it sinks but that might be to difficult for you to get your head around!

Did it break in half???
