Y do they always have to mention nationality in these stories?

in many more tolerant countries it's just a crime story

see my chest in my profile pic. I've been working out and it's pretty tight for my age, but I'm still dealing with some skin sag

In a social scene like that where people are watching I just play it safe and say "thanks". Not worth it to me to "try to be thai" and do something weird or wrong.

I do find foreigners going over board on the Thai stuff a bit annoying, you have to strike a balance there.

I never wai men, but I do like getting and returning them from females. Most thai men I meet are beneath me in social status and make their living sitting on the corner all day on these adult tricycles looking foolish. Why don't they get jobs and support their families?

Why can't they wipe their own arse? Why do they think it's funny that they can't?

The numbers are just fodder for me.

Accurate reporting and investigation can't be done by people with little education or agencies with no research skills.

However, I do like the sites dedicated to death cases. Anything that attempts to convey a critical reality is a breath of fresh air for me.

Makes me think. Makes by brain work. And wipes that dung eating naive smile of my face every time.

Leave it up to your wife. I am sure she can rebuff him in the Thai way.

I believe you are thinking too much into this.

Your western ways won't work here in Thailand, same as my western ways don't work, I have realised that much in my time here.

No have Western or not Western.

hjave just ONE way..

Man protects his woman.

no matter how he IT.

writing statement to the police and hire a lawyer.

Hire guys who lose their abuser.

Himself amputate fingers peasant who apparently swept gangrene and accidentally print the wrong message to the phone ..

Give women New job or stay home... Etc..

Only one question as it is customary to do in Thailand

Really tired of this whining by grown men.

Take "Thailand" out of the equation. Handle it man to man like you would anywhere.

The lady brought the problem home to him, so it's green light to take care of it. Not "her way" or the "Thai way".

Seems some on this board use thainess as excuses for various things. Like some unknown factor that prevents them from acting like men. For example saying you can't lift a finger or a mob will come from nowhere to attack etc.

Grow some balls and address the situation no matter where you are. Don't get pushy whipped on cultural make believe or this Thai stuff.

What does mafia in this case actually mean?

Tuk tuk mafia? Political? Petty crime?

Maybe this be a lesson to people trying to save a few ££££'s by not having travel insurance.

Why should Thailand have to "foot this bill" ?

I think you should research a little more into how travel insurance works.

It is ok for the short time tourist on holiday but it does nothing for a traveler.

Correct, it seems to be country and date specific. Probably possible to register each time you hop a border, but not worth the effort IMO.

....Thai men...if you interviewed them in their native tongue have ready access to Thai women 18 years and younger. They cannot figure out why all these foolish falang men show up to dine on their rejects.

You got it---Thai men quite assuredly believe that Thai women older than 20 years of age are used up, over the hill.

Lotsa cultural reasons what drives The Game in muang. Like trying to separate a hair ball that your cat spewed up on your floor mat.

A Gay friend of mine, married to a Vietnamese man of the same persuasion, said that in his experience Thai men have penises like little black sticks, he was amazed that they could even father children? Maybe that's why they like very young girls and discard the mothers of their children?? Lack of ??

Haha yeap even a young girl that 100 Thai guys have had the pleasure of screwing, will still feel like a virgin to a westerner !

and she will probably feel like she is one too, the first time with a westerner,,, so every one is happy.... 55555

Thai men are only here to make pilot holes for us..

Thai men typically only use one position as well

That being kneeling frontally and thrusting rapidly akin to a sitting missionary with the lady on her back

They dont do doggie and all this other weird stuff. It's just efficient getting off and then quickly leaving.

I think they learn it from driving motorbikes??

Ask him over for tea and let him have it the same as you would in your home country.

There won't be 50 moto guys hiding in the closet (I promise)

Talk reasonably and firmly with all three of you there. If he denies it or thinks its a joke grab his crack and tell him you mean business.

If it makes you nervous watch a mob movie like goodfellas and step into the roll. Practice in front of a mirror before the meet.

problems started when you let thais friends/relatives become involved to closely.
i would have set boundries when they came over and were looking through the house before you moved in.

maybe you will get lucky and they are gone, but things could get worse if they keep coming over.

when i moved i used a thai agent but only became involved with the thais around as absolutely necessary. i wanted a good scene and vetted any problems before they sprouted. after the payment and contract doors were locked and anything i could do myself i did myself. even though it was a good scene he did make an unprofessional quip about his commission at the meeting after the contract was signed.

your dealing mostly with people with a high school education in a country where the education system is not that great and many cant problem solve or keep financial records clear. people just go into jobs without training and 'wing it'.

Some pent up anger being vented here, is it really worth it to stress out over 50 baht?

Considering the petty amount of money, why not just consider it a tip to a poor Thai person who is struggling along in life with a shitty job?

laughable response.

ive been harassed for rides daily for years. sometimes followed down the road as im walking. had to listen to these roaches and step around them in some cases.

and your suggesting a tip? you must be out of your mind.

hate these scumbags. i take into consideration not having to use them in my living arrangements.
these asian tuk tuk guys are like babies on tricycles, scooting around and waiting all day for a dollar fare, quite pitiful really.

i was eating at a stall often and discovered one day that the husband drove a tricycle, and started eating at another place just so he did not get the extra dollar.

What's the connection between avoiding animal products and supporting equality for women?

have you ever seen a woman take down a buffalo to feed her family?

veganism goes hand in hand with feminism, at least where im from, next step would be taking on the sex trade, womens rights etc

sorry, this sounds a little like what happened with my neighbor and i awhile back.
turns out it was a control issue between us. i had things to do, and he wanted me to do something else.

lets remove the gf from the equation altogether, since that's not really your business, right?

facts: less then 60 days and stuff in hotel

lets see could it be a beach break thats taking longer then usual, or needy worried relatives?

i go for months without reporting in, sometimes i leave my hotel and passport,

im still very much alive

I wonder what the american bashing him was all about?....

Yes....Did he get the sulks and take off to an island or something with the weight of the world seemingly on his shoulders.......I hope so!

If so......then he's really putting his family and friends thru hell......

next mission he should be more forthcoming, go with backup or keep in touch via satellite uplink with an encrypted line...

better have a good reason if he stiks his head above water again.

better be bush liking it in the jungle somewhere taking out charlie, copy it roger...

your getting caught up in the 'big brother' type stuff. its much worse in thailand then many other places. i think because it has a history of young backpackers?? not sure exactly why.

do some traveling to other areas like south america or less popular countries. you may also want to stay off forums, youtube, advice sites and hang around people who are always giving advice for awhile.

its completely ok to not integrate in and remain who you are as you travel the world.

in the majority of cases people dont care what you do as long as you dont cause them too many problems.

There is no such place as Utopia. But if you are comfortable with your self, you can be comfortable living anywhere. If you aren't, no place will satisfy you.

so move home and decide why you wanted to leave

if your paying 1k usd a month for housing in chiang mai your talking out of your arse

last one i asked for a date after hours requested 3k baht for her time, non-negotiable.

so i figure some are making in the 90k / month range, not counting shop pay.

working the salon is worth it just to meet prospective clients.

synergy is always beneficial to all parties to the deal.

hope this will make buying DUTY FREE easier on the Air Asia flights

and perhaps cheaper than at the airports.

may make it easier to get arrested for shoplifting. those carts get pretty close to the isle seats.

was the i pad password locked?

the small ones dont make shat and come and go like the wind depending on who comes into enough money to open the lease and then they leave when broke

many of the girls live in the business in small rooms or even in the curtained off areas when the shop closes for the night

your question is then why do it if its a sinking endeavor. they dont think in business like westerners do here. its try and if it fails its meant to be, if it succeeds it will anyway.

he slapped be cause he was beery beery bad man sir

couple that with a set of man boots, a german hat and a frankfurter and you have a case for defacment with extreme prejudice. squirt

Never got one of these letters in 6 years- but use my stateside address and sign into the web site at least once per month. I guess the letters only go if you use an overseas address.?I

ditto, i have everything scanned in stateside and access via the web. anything else gets mailed to my old address in cm from several years ago.

no news is good news!
