I do agree with this... ...but I don't really agree with this. Vast majority of woman here are either pea-brained hillbillies or pea-brained princesses, both of whom bring virtually nothing to the table in a relationship. They are unreliable and untrustworthy; utterly feckless. Sure, they look okay, I'll give them that. If you are just looking for a pump n' dump, well you've hit the jackpot with a thousand baht or so. I don't think you gain much here by hitting the gym or wearing fancy clothes - I mean you shouldn't look like a hobo either, but you don't have to do anything fancy - unless you are really trying to attract the tiny minority of decent people here, and even most of them are fakers.........and even at that I think they look at status, education, race, and affluence more than a beer belly, thinning hair, or wrinkles.

This is it. 💯 Drink the well dry in Thailand and get some clarity.

It is absolutely astounding what men will do for some pussy.

They're just hillbillies.

Classic. You are offering him 20,000 for nothing and he calls you a buffalo. Who's the buffalo? Honestly mate, these people deserves nothing from you. Just pay the 1,500 if you want to ride him and leave it at that.

I wonder if she also buys him dinner?

Damn right. The type of low class woman who goes for farang, only has two choices: 1. Village bloke 2. Farang

They are just pudding-brained savages.

What ever happened to that Paragon shooter?

This is the truth.

LOL, this doesn't sound like a good idea.

They just have no respect for absolutely anything. 😕

Yup, I almost caused two rear collisions recently walking out onto zebra crossings. Or I should say, it was caused by them driving too close to each other. Both times the motorbike rider was pissed cos he was driving too close and almost hit the back of the car, and then beeped the driver of the car for stopping and then displayed aggression towards me. Lol

That's pretty nuts, if the tests came back OK

But what's the other option? If you don't find out about something early, you could drop dead with a heart attack or find out you have advanced cancer.

I just wrote it the way a Thai said it to me. And, yeah, smacking children is not uncommon here.

I don't really see what's funny.

They can't beat the index because they can't just sit on their hands and do nothing for years -- they'd lose their jobs. So, they play around with the portfolio - to keep their jobs - which ironically causes them to perform worse than the market.

It makes no difference to these "people" They don't respect the pedestrian crossing, and they don't seem bothered by the potential legal ramifications of driving over a pedestrian crossing with pedestrians on it.

Savages.

I got my card a few months ago

Governments rake in money from its citizens. They return some money by spending on public needs. There should be a pension. Mainly because some children can't afford to take care of themselves, never mind their parents - the economy can be tough - but also some parents and children have bad relationships or lose contact completely. Don't governments make enough money taxing everything we touch? Is a reasonable pension too much to ask? Aside from that, we do not live in an anarchist society: the government owns us and our children. They ought to take some responsibility for the elderly.

Where in the West are you from? There's no pension system to handle this issue? Where in the West are children supposed to pay their parents a pension? I actually think families in the West are a lot closer and genuinely caring than here.

That's not how it works. The children didn't give birth to the mother, they have no parental responsibility. They should take care of their aging parent, but there could also be valid reasons they want nothing to do with her. Who knows? Thailand really needs a better social security system, if it ever wants to be a first world, fully developed country. If this woman worked all her days and paid taxes, she deserves a reasonable pension from the state.

Got to be something more to this. Thai families are messed up on a huge scale compared to what I saw back West. There's a Thai proverb, "To hit a child is to love a child" That says it all. I've witnessed a lot of verbal, emotional, and physical abuse (all of which are considered good parenting strategies) as well as a hell of a lot of emotion and physical neglect. After all this, the parents expect their child to take care of them when they are old. In my extended family, there are kids with stunted growth, all teeth rotten, severe development issues, barely literate, abandoned by the biological mother & father, neglected and abused by the grandparents -- all the while the mother earns 50k and 100k doing massage in Phuket and Japan, respectively. This is a common story. Not too long ago, in Isaan, I earned 30k a month - total household income - equivalent of 2 Thai parents on 15k each, and I was able to take care of my kid properly. And it ain't just in poor communities, although it's a lot more common. What about that rich Paragon kid who was, according to the news, living alone in a separate house from family at the age of 13 when he hit the front page, apparently schizophrenic, and playing with guns. Now, I teach very very HiSo kids and some of them have serious family problems. Many simply don't have childhoods or lives at all - it's bipolar to what you see in an Isaan village - they study at a highly sought-after, prestigious school, then they study after school every day, then they study on Saturdays, and they study on Sundays. Of course, they study during summer, too! No free time, except to learn classical instruments, like the violin, or compete at a national level in sports - high pressure and expectations! What kind of slavery is this? What ever happened to just playing or hanging out after school? So long as they become doctors and take care of their parents in retirement, it's okay............but this is still abuse, na!
