Being Single VS Marrying a Thai Lady
I think bar girls make the best lovers and conversationalist as many speak some English. I would never marry anyone anywhere.

Proof you are a resident.

Why are Filipinos/Filipinas so friendly?
The English they can speak helps in their confidence to interact with people. But, I was in the Phillippines recently my fifth trip. I was surprised how unfriendly people there have become post pandemic. It is overall a depressing dirty extremely poor country with little hope for a lot of people. I would never go back there, Thailand is a much better overall lifestyle I believe.

Electric baht busses for Pattaya......Good idea or Bad idea.....
The current ones are filthy dangerous gas guzzlers. And, I think they should be banned in certain areas especially Soi Buakhao where they constantly stop and jam up traffic on a one lane road.

TAGTHAi launches new ‘Chiang Mai Pass’ for tourists
My observation is CM may be having the most difficult recovery of the tourists spots. Nimman and old city at their peak were crowded, I have not seen nearly the same numbers as before. I guess they think this will help doubt it though.

Popular Social Media Influencer and Pattaya Regular Joesthetics Dead at 30
Natural causes? It is sad but sorry, his body is not natural how many different enhanced drugs was he on? Not uncommon for drug enhanced body builders to die early.

U-Tapao Airport is Pretty Dead
It is not a major airport. I go to CNX quite often I disagree with the time comparison with BKK. The other day on the new highway that connects to the 7, it took me 34 minutes to get to Pattaya from UTP. BKK is at least twice that. I pay 700 b private car. Make sure to tell the driver to take the highway, not Sukhumvit. Some will stupidity take Sukhumvit to save the 30 b toll fee. It is under utilized, but the EEC at some point will start to materialize and that airport will get busy. The high speed train is many years away I bet.

Thailand forcing Cashless Society
I hate it makes for a total time delay vacuum. People paying 20b using their phones. Stand there and watch the item being rung up, get the phone from their pocket or purse, open phone, screw around trying to find the app, try 2 or 3 times until it finally goes thru all the while the line waiting gets longer. Stupid and ridiculous maybe try keeping a few baht in your pocket.

Problem with increasingly aggressive & violent wife
I would get away from her ASAP. Too many stories about physical harm or even death in these escalating situations.

Thailand braces for severe storms and heavy rainfall
Pattaya is the place to be no rain.

When does it become time to put money aside in a separate account and self insure?
The self insured folks I know seem foolish. 100 to 500 k is very little for a major illness or accident. Unless you have about 2 million today in an account for this, you are way under insured. Good luck.

Full body MRI scan in Phuket (or Bangkok)
Yes, get a quality full blood test and an ultrasound will show it along with any flaws in your kidneys. Many older men have fatty liver just try to do the best with your diet and drink reasonably.

The Koh Chang Link
Sylvan Resort I think is the best place. One month there? I like KC but seems like an island fever bore after a few days.

Bargirl is one of the few AI-Proof Professions
The AI dools of the future will probably make coffee, do laundry, and take care of other needs. Real women (if there is such a thing) may become obsolete.

The best pie I have had in CM
This place specializes in pie many to choose. I know there are other good pie places in town. But, I like Dutch apple pie warm slightly. This place does it right for me crunchy topping, not too sweet filing, crust is lite. In Nimman area. Pie and Cappuccino 145 b.
