Samui for Retirement
Could never do it full time, there is such thing as Island Fever in my opinion.

Beach regulations: Pattaya considers time limits due to litter and noise surge
I often walk it at 6am. My observations is that it is 100% young Thais drinking, yelling and blasting music. Never see a cop around must be shift change. Folks staying at the Hilton must hate it.

British father and son are brutally beaten by bouncerskicked out of a bar in 'Sin City'
I wonder now if the police will put British males on their watch list as they have done some other foreigners.

Rice price hikes worry restaurant owners, some pass costs to diners
Just give smaller portions. Rice is not that good for you anyway.

Are you a minimalist?
Yes. And, it is easy here if you rent the room comes with everything mine even has a 60" TV. I never understood people who come here to start a new life and them accumulate things just like their old life. Get a house, wife, cars, motorbikes and fill the house up with meaningless junk, garage area stacked cannot even park a car. Seems really dumb just adds a bunch of stress.

Brit left with one leg shorter than other after botched surgery in Thailand
Too bad for him he obviously kept in great shape. I use to think it was good but, I have become less and less impressed with the medical professionals here. I wonder if it is incompetency or that they just don't like foreigners,

"Chonburi Coast" / "Thailand’s Eastern Seaboard" named among top places to retire in Asia
Good info. thanks. Pattaya yes, but it also includes Rayong, greater Chonburi and Chachoengsao. A share of expats live or are considering living in these areas outside of Pattaya. Less traffic. less stress more nature and probably lower costs then living in metro Pattaya.

Why i like Thailand
I like many things much more then the west. I have found Thais not as friendly in Bangkok, Pattaya, and Phuket. Seem more stressed, hyper, chasing the dollar, in debt. This seems to be worse post pandemic. Hua Hin and Chiang Mai and many place in Isaan seem much more friendly.

Why do people feel excited at night but mornings lazy?
Just the opposite for me. I get most of my business done including my dates before noon.

What should I do if I no longer find my wife attractive?
She is fat, unattractive and snippy? You are not in the west no need to put up with that disrespectful garbage, I would dump her tomorrow and find a much better one.

Pitch and putt type golf course around Jomtien
I have sent younger people on that Asia course never heard of that discrimination. I would ask to speak to the manager that is ridiculous. To add, guys take their Bargirls out there who have never touched a club. Half drunk, breasts hanging out, short shorts showing their bottoms and they cannot even hit the ball.

Would you ever marry a bar girl? If so, why?
I know a dozen guys who have married or have live in bar girls. They are mostly sexy with personality. But, they all have problems as these girls seem to become addicted to their bar jobs. The attention, social media, drinking, gambling, sex, staying up til 3am. Bringing one of these girls out of their element is a huge difficult adjustment for them. Never say never, but it would be difficult. Add trust issues when away playing golf or hanging out with friends or going back home. All just seems like a huge hassle I would not want in my life at this stage.

Thai tourism stays firm amid debt rise, 200 million domestic trips targeted
You mean they applied for a new credit card? An 11.5% household debt increase is huge. I don't know of any Thai who is getting any real pay raises.

Is it really more fun in the Philippines?
A fairly recent trip to Phils I thought it was terrible. Really has gone downhill just a filthy hole. And, I did not find the people nearly as freindly as before. They sure have desperation in their eyes. Guys that I know there wish they could move and live in Thailand.

Big call
If a person does not have a long term strategy and is paraniod about tomorrow, probably best to put their money in a savings account.

I recently forgot to do my 90 day check-in report
Last I knew it was 500 b a day for overstay max of 20,000 b. Go to jail if you cannot pay. I would take care of it before you go to the airport.

Starting a youtube channel
Is your Mrs. cute and sexy with personality? Like it or not these type of channels usually get more subs and views. Also, I assume everyone is aware how many of these channels are built. Many buy their subs, views, likes, whatever you want. You can buy in bulk which means it is probably mostly bots. When you see someone with 25k subs and they are getting 1,000 views the first 5 days, then it jumps to 10k views the next day, they more then likely bought the subs and are buying views. Just saying, channels who use this strategy it seems like shenanigans to me.

Bangkok hotels with monthly rate?
How about a Pod? About 12,000 b a month includes Netflix and access to amenities. This one is at Phrom Phong a great location.

Hello, It was 2015 since I was last here need a bit of advice about Koh Chang
I have done a 180 on Hua hin since visiting last month. Good night markets, beaches decent, plenty of male entertainment if you know where to go, nightclubs, golf, malls. I found it not bad at all.

Gunman on the loose: Police scramble to find foreign suspect intimidating sightseers in Pattaya (video)
Seems they all know each other very casual. Something up with this.

Smiling at people
Interesting, I usually smile but have been doing less so recently due to lack of return. Seems less females smile back now. Maybe I just look like an old perv now so they are scared.

Increasing the 800K baht requirement for retirement extension?
Seems a change could be they may ask for a criminal history from everyone. WIth what appears to be an increase in criminal activity, I bet they would like to try and identify gang members and those with criminal records.

Are you reliving your youth in Thailand?
I had a terrible youth. So, this is my first go at it having a blast!

IMAX -I don't get the hype
I don't like it much. And I hate those theatres that have the interaction theme. Air blown in your face, rain drops, perfume scents, and the seat moves and rocks, noise increased during intense moments. I think it was 50 bucks I almost vomited gave me a big headache and I left way early what a waste.
