2% is 2% But you are right, they are not the same, the billionaire pays more.

Alright, let's see if you can tell me exactly what he'll do? Didn't think so.

How many nuts does one have to suck before one becomes nuts? At least Trump didn't suck nuts to get where he is. You think she can run the USA?

It's a pity we don't still have Australia to send them all there.

What makes Harris better?

It's sad that America's healthcare system is like that, but in a capitalist country you should be invested. If you can't beat em, join em.

They dance like that on temple grounds in Isaan regularly

What's fascist about him? The Democrats want to take away your amendments, censor the population, control the media, ban free speech, and import voters to create a one party state. Did Trump try to jail or assassinate his political opponent? Nope. Who was that?

This seems too high. I reckon 90% of the country are on 15k or less.

Why do you care?

Fun poll guys! 😆 It's anonymous, don't worry! 😅 I get that many of you live in different parts of the country and there are many different choices available (massage, bar, club, online etc. etc.) and different factors involved (type of venue, barfine, ladydrinks, hotel room, etc. etc.) Just answer to the best of your knowledge (or from your experience) what the average/typical cost is nowadays. Let's see what our consensus is! 😜

You could have saved an hour of your life not starting this thread.

What harm does it do? Most people already have cold sores. Same thing, different location.

Dengue can kill you. Herpes is harmless. Herpes is cosmetic. Dengue is life threatening. See the difference? Try thinking rationally.

My dad hallucinated on Thai weed the first time he tried it. He only had a few puffs, said it was super strong. And he'd smoked weed plenty of times back West.

Yeah, gonorrhea is the most likely STD from oral. But why would you be scared of that? How is it different from a normal throat infection? I just had strep throat earlier this year. Who cares? Genital herpes from oral sex is rare. You'd be more likely to get oral herpes ( the common cold sore) from a person's mouth. By your logic, you should rethink ever kissing someone again, lol. And you forgot syphilis, by the way, which can be spread by oral, although much less than vaginal or anal sex. And of all the STDs it's one of the rarest, especially in heterosexuals. But frankly, malaria or dengue fever Is scarier and you get that by simply by being outside (or even staying at home) with mosquitos. Perspective rather than irrational fear.

I remember that one from back in the day. Is it still going strong?

But I was more meaning Washington Square-esque

Yeah, Robin Hood. That's been around a while. - Buddy's Bar - Moonshine Joint - Jungle Jim's - Afterskool - Toy - Stumble Inn - Chequers - Busstop - The Tavern - Morning Night - The Old Other Office - Pinnochio's Club - Vinai's Bar - Crown Royal

Yeah, they don't name bars (or massage parlors) like they used to.

Are there any bars that still have the old-school vibe?

Bangkok is dirtier, less friendly, and less fun. The Thais are not the same and most of the charm and character is gone. They are much harder and clearly feeling the effects of the economy, like hungry ghosts. Way more women are getting into prostitution because they can now do it discreetly online. Mall, after mall, after mall, after mall. Do people really like malls that much? Transport is better and there is more international food now though. English is better.

Aye, but over a small thing. See how they would react if the rape cases were up 500% since mass migration, like Sweden. You've not been here long enough to remember the looting, arson, shooting, grenade throwing when the red shirts lost the election. People get lynched here for having car accidents sometimes.

How would Thais would react if Thailand had open borders and immigration policies, like the UK. And if farang were arriving illegally and were killing kids and commiting terrorist attacks. They went nuts for that farang who kicked the Thai on the back for sitting on the steps at the beach. They tried to lynch the Filipino ladyboys who beat up a Thai ladyboy on Soi 11. Just imagine how they'd react if it were more serious! Imagine if what was happening in the UK and EU was happening in Thailand!

How long have you lived in Thailand? It's the ones who know too much that do all the complaining. Everyone loves Thailand at first. Try being more than just a tourist here. I do everything on my own here. And I will happily have a dick measuring contest with you. What have you achieved here? I have enough Thai to get by in every situation I find myself in. I am probably intermediate level for speaking and listening. Can read and write some too. Aye, well I bet they weren't on a 1 year non-immigrant visa and still being referred to as an alien or a foreigner......after being in the country for decades. I think a lot of us just want to be able to cross the road at a pedestrian crossing without being in mortal danger. The Thais can read the signs but just choose to ignore them. Lol. At petrol stations they drive in the exit and out the entrance. I see it all the time. They ignore speed limits and go up the wrong side of the road, on the pavement even. And don't get me started on stop signs and pedestrian crossings. It's not the farang that make Thailand's roads some of the most dangerous in the world. 😄 🤣 😂
