  1. I was just thinking why are Ladyboy bars predominantly in "straight areas" ? Particularly in Pattaya and Bangkok ? Are the gay community not interested in ladyboy transexuals? Obviously the evidence is there to suggest not . Is there any such thing as Ladyboy Go Go bars where they have dancers? If so why are these in "straight areas" of Pattaya?
  2. Apparently she was sitting on your face as you were babbling on about some bloke called Trump over in America , we could still hear your dulcite American tones babbling on as she sat her Scottish bum cheeks on either side of your face
  3. I wonder why you have to constantly talk about American politics? Like we're interested, I never been to America ,never plan on going , What about Albanese ? It's not easy under Albabanseeee ! No but you must talk about him? No ,just being selfish talking about this bloke trump over & over again....if you DON'T like it....leave !!!!
  4. I wonder if having a farang bar in say Isaan areas are easier ? I recall a few ...must be like 100 years ago ....I think it was called FArang Connection somewhere that WAS very successful I think the old owner passed away and it stopped?
  5. So you worked to 58, the. Got the disability pension until 65? I think about 2016 the Australian Government done a audit on Aussies living in Asia all on Disability pension for various reasons,back problem,mental problem etc They then changed the rules saying you are only allowed 3 months overseas which brought home many disability recipients all forced back to work in Australia
  6. Yes I think as a farang bar owner YOU have to be there in your own business everyday! I recall an Irish bar many moons ago in Pattaya that failed as the farang owner didn't attend
  7. Ahhh very important point. Imagine being a bar owner and ole Trevor on his 2 weeks trip comes to your bar every night and falls in love with Pom the vicious bitch bar girl who had 5 boyfriends....but...you can't say nuthin to Trevor !!
  8. To retire at 45 you either need a pension (disability) from your home country ,enough to survive Rental income Or a big savings account to withdraw from when you need Or a business income generating money
  9. And what topics is he talking about in the bar he has ? Any topics on The Manila subway or about books on Statistical data?
  10. I would like to start a bar where us academics can meet and talk intelligent intellectual conversations
  11. It would be exciting the first few weeks.....😂
  12. This is the one of the reasons. May I ask if a Geordie is Scottish, I have in all my wisdom in life heard that description but in my life of wisdom never bothered to research that
  13. As wandered aimlessly around the streets of Pattaya last month in my 6 week sentence of boredom .... I looked to see some beer bars in those complexes Rompho etc busy whilst others night after night had no one I used to like a "Aussie";bar in the Rompho complex market in Jomtien sadly the owner was apparently shafted by his girlfriend and lost the bar . But please don't get me off topic ,I want to know this question and please be direct . Why does a farang start or buy a beer bar knowing it's higher % to fail ,higher percentage to working hard for the money eg having to be nice to people and talking with often drunk patrons Whats the reason and please I'm not trying to be judgemental , If I was to buy or start say a beer bar in the Rompho complex Georgie's bar , I know it's in higher statistical analyses it's going to fail or break even perhaps So what's the reasons someone would do it ? Could it perhaps be a hobby ?
  14. You buy the two seats BEFORE you fly. Eg , you ring Qantas , you say I would like to purchase two seats in economy. They say it's a "comfort" seat you say yes They issue two boarding passes one in your name and one saying extra in your name
  15. Not everyone wants to RETIRE full time to South East Asia , and I say ASIA, because there are guys on here who are in Philippines and Cambodia and Vietnam etc ,don't be so selfish to talk about Thailand only! But please don't get me off topic ,I forget what I was saying now ,but some guys who are say 65yo may be better to work 6 months of the year in their OWN country and 6 months relaxing in ASIA rather than live a full boring 12 months say in Pattaya getting bored in the View talay condos doing nothing !!!!!! Personally I'm glad to be back in Australia after that 6 weeks imprisonment in the View talay condos Rewind 2 weeks ago and I was forced on a Sunday to sit by that pool listening and watching old farts on Zimmer frames before being locked up in my cell in those noisy rooms There are plenty of part time jobs for mature aged guys
  16. I did meet a guy there who bought two Flybird Condos next to each other Put a door between each unit . And built in wardrobes,new kitchen etc made it look nice Im sure there's guys (who won't admit it) that live in the FLYBIRD
  17. I could never find a quiet place in the Philippines sadly. But... getting back to the topic I avoided going out on Sundays when I was in Pattaya,just too crowded especially around that Central Mall area
  18. Oh Robert ..you need to do the respect and tolerance course
  19. It's great that we can all get together and have stimulating conversation like this . Far better than sitting in any loud bar in Pattaya
  20. Rose coloured glasses ! We have all read this .... statement? Quotation ? Can we perhaps analyse it ? What an interesting quote
  21. And yet you Sir refuse to have any knowledge of this statement I saw recently and please don't expect me to decipher it although I'm a amateur academic "It's not my circus ...it's not my monkeys " Now please forgive me in all my wisdom should I have that incorrect
  22. I'm trying to work out the "psychology" of this. The statement I see often. You have Rose tinted glasses about Thai people Please explain if you see that statement
  23. $1990 for 2 economy seats ,and it was around $3900 for business You will see currently QANTAS have business class at $4200 compared to their economy at $890 You can book 2 seats by booking with the airline directly, and I wasn't the only one . You only pay ONE set of taxes but you DON'T get 2 meals or 2 baggage allowance
  24. Crammed into economy!!!! And....the person in front put their set back !!!
  25. Well that would be $800 AUD for one way !!!😮
