Would be interesting to know what the criteria were (1) for selecting the billionaires to-be-asked, and (2) for their selections.

The BMA's development plans for the site encompass a 3,060-meter long asphalt walkway and a 420-meter waterside walkway with security barriers, along with significant landscaping works. The plans also include the addition of more lighting, wastewater treatment provisions, and constraints on vehicle access for public safety.

It's lovely at the moment so let's destroy it by improving it ...

We get all our water from 40metres down. Not sure what happens when/if it ever runs out.

Hasn't run out so far in 7 years. With his usual 'sunny' (Thai) disposition - living in the moment - my b/f just laughs whenever I raise the question. Lotta wata.

I can smell nothing since my late covid (April last year). And my taste buds are now recovered to about 40% of what they were.

There you go ... taking my mind off to reflect on the potential for AI. much more capable than many humans are capable of dealing with ...

Yes. My description works equally well for AI. But the AI people know that already (yawn).

Very beautiful. Huge ears (or am I just imagining that?)

Would love to have them but we're too far away (Surin province).

Huge hotel? Well, the name should have been enough for AN habitués to mention. "Lek lek' means 'Very small' in Thai.

I'm actually surprised. 87M฿ is not a huge amount. Roughly AUD3.6M. There would be many Westerners living here who are worth more than that.

Would like to see Prayut's numbers too.

Racist low-life Syndrome!

However designated, it is a common disease in Thailand as in many other tropical countries.

Hard to say, as maybe they were always gay, but the social stigma of being so, in their social circles, forced them to accept a straight relationship, only to realize, they weren't.

 

Don't think you wake one day and think to yourself, 'I think I'll change teams' 

Exactly my experience.

I agree with what you want to say, but being gay is not a choice you make. You find out at some stage in your life that you are attracted to guys. That's it. You don't decide that.

Of course, but this is about the decision to 'come out'.

The exact location for the Carrier Strike Group's West Pacific exercises remains confidential. It is speculated they may occur near the South China Sea,

Quelle surprise!

We had a house burglary once 2 or 3 years ago (no cameras - since installed). Police were pleasant and helpful, particularly after my b/f made a donation to the social club. They had a fair idea who it was - doing the rounds, yet again - and they turned up with him at our house 3 or 4 days later for a reenactment. Salutes all round at the end, and the English-speaking one gave me his phone no. to call if any problems in future.

Can't complain.

Thai culture loves complexity and ambiguity ie lots of wriggle room. So why clarify things?

I wonder who has killed more gay Palestinians, the Palestinians or the Israelis... 🤔

Not many gay Palestinians in Gaza or West Bank. Mostly in Haifa.

I gather there are more firearms per capita in Thailand than in Usofa ...

If you weren't having sex with your partner, would they still be in a relationship or would they be just good friends ?

   Isn't having sex the difference between being friends and being in a relationship ?

Not really much point in being in a relationship if you are both celibate . You would be just friends then 

Lots of middle-aged and elderly couples might have a different view, I think. Sexual activity tends to diminish in most - but not all - people with age, so sexless marriages are quite common. But they're still more than friends, a couple who sleep together and enjoy a cuddle on a cold winter's night ...

How old was this boy?

22

Well at least here they don't need the government to broadcast (as I gather they do in the UK in hot weather) messages for old people reminding them to turn off the heater.

I didn't 'come out' to the world - as opposed to my closest friends (all 'straight') - until I was 62 and had just fallen in love with my Thai Khmer boy to whom I have now been officially 'partnered' for 10 years. Everyone to whom (in Canberra) I announced the glad tidings behaved as though (yawn) they had 'known' since forever. All fine. But they didn't feel the need to talk about it.

When I finally took my boy to Canberra for a few months to meet everyone and to live (we thought permanently), he was overwhelmed by how warm everyone was. And everyone wanted to meet him. Middle-aged beautifully dressed dowagers at evening gatherings would kiss him on both cheeks. If you could have seen through his darkish skin he would have been blushing as well as giggling ...
