  1. Welcome to the western world 2024, fast asleep at the wheel.
  2. Some of you will remember Nancy Reagan's 1985 visit to Bangkok to congratulate the Thai govt on it's anti-drug measures. Unknowingly she was cared for throughout her trip by one of Thailand's most notorious opium traders.
  3. It would take a communist takeover for me to consider leaving Thailand, as seemed likely at one point during the Vietnam war. If it were ever to happen I would head for Taiwan, where I have local friends, or Malaysia.
  4. People who have the misfortune to live near to slaughterhouses tend to become insensitive and disoriented.
  5. Very, very unusual in Thailand. Who said what to whom and why are the key questions.
  6. As with earlier posters my wife cuts my hair. As a result my hair style varies significantly from haircut to haircut. It introduces an element of suspense into what would otherwise be a rather boring exercise.
  7. The best type of foreigners jn Thailand is a long-gone generation who knew how to behave.
  8. Prostitution exists in every country in the world, hugely so in the USA. What makes prostitution in Thailand popular is the fun element, unlike the sordid atmosphere in most other places.
  9. it'll take something akin to an earthquake to get Jill Biden out of the white house.
  10. At the time of Britain's joining the EEC Heath's treatment of the former dominions and colonies was an utter disgrace. Many of us will not forget that irrespective of how things stand today.
  11. Yet another farce created by the Ministry of Finance. They'll be proposing a tax on foreign incomes and on inward remittances next....
  12. After 60 years of visiting, working and living in Thailand, and being happily married to a Thai lady since 1990, I still love the place. However, as a westerner, I can never become a Thai even if I speak the language, enjoy Thai food and the company of Thai people, the simple reason being I am not born and bred a Thai.
  13. Thailand, having never been colonized by western powers, unlike its' neighbouring countries, possesses a culture which many visitors find intriguing.
  14. Still the Land of Smiles in my experience
  15. Happily married to my beautiful Thai wife since 1990. She is now 68 to my 82 years of age. Her interests are similar to mine, as is her humour. She's a great cook, and a skilled driver. You tell me I'm either stupid or blind, or both. I don't think so. Or maybe you were just kidding ?
  16. Britain 2924. Get out now if you can. If you can't, condolences.
  17. A bunch of BIB clowns. Compensation should be paid to the disrupted family.
  18. Disgraceful, dishonest reporting. There was no chaos. Very sorry for this poor man. Is there a group in Pattaya who can help him ?
  19. Plodprasop, a pot calling the kettle black if ever there was one. Just remember the stuff he and his party have got up to over the years.
  20. The women, the food, and the weather.
  21. Sounds awful, and if someone killed one of my dogs there'd be big trouble from both my wife, our workers and myself. I will be avoiding any and all of your further possible expositions .
  22. Correct. No resemblance at all. Whatever gave him that idea ?
  23. Jill Biden will not give up the first-lady role unless heavily pushed. Awful woman. I fear poor oldJoe is going to have to struggle on. Pretty much amounts to age abuse.
