Agree, compared to Indians and Chinese, the Russians do spend on motorbikes, food, partying and 7-11.  They are not too happy  when walking around, but overall, I have no issues with them compared to the rude Indians who walk all over the street here in Pattaya and hassle the locals about pricing.  Hygiene is also a big problem with them.  The Chinese just spend money on Chinese.

You're having a laugh.  Russians are the rudest race on the planet.  

So, when they first mentioned this 6 weeks ago they said certain countries will be given 90 days.   What they meant was one country Russia will be given 90 days.

I am in Pattaya and believe me its certainly is NOT full of foreigners! Went to Central Festival Pattaya a couple of days ago and it was almost deserted, saw a few Indians in a group, but very quiet.  What will happen in December, high season, is anyone's guess, but certainly all the hotels will not be full and obtaining a rental car will not be a problem. I have a feeling you are feeling you are being told lies by some wishful thinkers?

Tomorrow story...  "Thailand's tourism is on the up"

You can't fail an exam in Thailand anyway.   one of the most strangest and completely ridiculous education systems in the world.   

It doesn't say where he actually was though.  maybe there wouldn't have been much difference in it anyway.   Also claiming the taxi driver wasn't bothered he was going to post it on tiktok. I doubt he even knew what the geezer was on about. ffs

If only this was true but unfortunately It's utter nonsense.

Yeah but if you don't meet those requirements, it could be argued that you don't qualify and should retire elsewhere. 

That may be true but my point was the amount of falangs that are surprised that some falangs don't have 800k.  We aren't all loaded, contrary to what the Thais might say.

Not about sticking up.

Because it's the truth.

A straight guy attracted to trans women is still straight. Fact.

Oh! now i see what it is... you want to be part of some sort of  an exclusive group.  you're gay but some kind of homosexual snob.   because the bottom line is men who like men are gay.  Otherwise you can't say you're gay because if men who like men isn't gay then neither are you.  There is no such thing according to your definition.  

Just now, Jingthing said:

I'm not attracted to trans women / ladyboys, etc. in the slightest, dude.

Because I'm 100 percent gay.

I do give a second look to cute butch lesbians though.

I realize these concepts are too sophisticated for many people though.

Another case of willful ignorance.

 

Well good on ya. So I can't understand why you are sticking up for men who are in denial of their own sexuality.  

Just now, Jingthing said:

You simply don't get it.

It's 2023 there is no shame in being homosexual now mate.  Don't be ashamed of your sexuality by pretending you do like women by going with a man that is pretending to be a woman. just be honest with yourself and be proud of who you are.  Say it loud you're gay and proud 

Just now, Jingthing said:

Do some research on who is attracted to trans women and who isn't and get back to me.

As i said... people in denial.  Like yourself by the sounds of it.  and It's a bit silly really as there is nothing wrong and no shame in being gay. 

Just now, Jingthing said:

Such men are straight. Not mixed up. 

What the hell are you on about????    They aren't straight they're with men.   maybe you're one of those who is mixed up.  or in other words.... in denial !!

I think you have issues if you want a man who is trying to look like a woman.  Fair enough if ya gay go with a bloke but if you're going with a bloke who is pretending to be a woman, you are very mixed up. I just don't get it.  

No more news on the 90 days they talked about for certain countries.

Sounds like you never got out of the city. Go live in a village for a while to see a different side of Thai life. No shopping malls, 7 11, KFC or Macs.

You're just being presumptuous to think that will win your argument.  I have lived in many places in Thailand including numerous villages and they're just as inactive there,  as in the cities.  So, what you going to try next?   You going to narrow it down to a specific part of Thailand next to try and back your argument.  Just like many posters on here you think you're the only foreigner who has lived in rural part of Thailand.  And roll out the old 'the real Thailand'  chestnut????        

In other words they're gutted they'll have to do more work or at least should be.

No, I'm not. You obviously only met lazy ones, unlike myself. My wife was very active. Worked really hard.

One Thai woman doesn't mean they're all active.  In general they're lazy when it comes to exercise or being active.  Unless you have a completely different definition of active.  And I'm no Thai basher. They have a lot of qualities but being active is definitely not one of them,  but they're not alone in that these days.   As most countries citizens are fairly inactive these days.

That's a generalisation as none of the Thai girls I fed did that.

 

If they stay slim ( lots don't ) it's because they ain't gluttons and they are more active than western equivalent.

Active!!   you're having a laugh!

IN CASH!

Yes i know that but can it be in another currency?

When arriving in Thailand the required 20k can be in another currency as long as its the equivalent of 20k baht i presume?

Across the world, mask use had the highest correlation with the near complete disappearance of influenza during Covid. End of story.

 

Instructions: 1. Read. 2. Weep.

 

Disappearance and Re-Emergence of Influenza during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Association with Infection Control Measures

And we could all provide an article that opposes that view. We could be here all day exchanging articles, studies, etc etc.      At the end of the day it should be a choice for each person whether they wanna wear masks or not, that's the bottom line.

You see it from a western point, if you see it from a Thai perspective, I have learned that the women is in charge of the household and expenses. 

No you have let them be in charge of that,  which is fair enough but it isn't a western thing or a Thai thing.   It's a decision by both parties.

Nightmare, I think many of us with a bike have been guilty of nipping the shops without a helmet especially if you've adopted Thainess and will take the bike 350metres rather than just walk, becoming more conscious of it recently with the amount of attention local accidents are getting on social media.

if you've adopted Thainess and will take the bike 350metres rather than just walk,   Or what's commonly known as being very lazy
