You mean a banana hammock?

That is definitely Bob in the photo, but why did you feel the need to enhance the size of his trouser trout? Or is he just wearing one of his imported strap-ons in the photo?

Sorry to hear that mate. Just go onto Lazada and Shopee and type in "Whittakers Chocolate" and you'll be in Whittakers heaven in no time. And delivered right to your door. It goes great with some good weed too!

If you were a bit more clever, intuitive and insightful you might be able to trigger a proper response, but so far you haven't nailed even one correct point. Keep trying though. Eventually you might get lucky by mistake.

What people like him don't ever understand is that he will be tolerated to a point and made to feel like he is fully accepted within his local social circles, but it's all a game of making nice nice to the foreigner. And what they won't stand for is him trying to change anything, taking charge of anything or giving his opinion on local matters when he wasn't asked for it. That's when the ball drops and one who is deluded like him usually has an epiphany and realizes he was never really accepted on an equal level to begin with. For some, who are smart enough to understand things, this reality check can be soul destroying. For others they just don't and never will get it, it just goes right over their head, and they remain in Lala-Land. Ignorance is bliss isn't it? Poetry: You take the blue pill, the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path. Have you ever had a dream that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world? I'm sorry, kiddo. I really am. You have a good soul. And I hate giving good people bad news. Don't worry about it. As soon as you step outside that door you'll start feeling better. You'll remember you don't believe in any of this fate crap. You're in control of your own life. Remember? Here. Take a cookie. I promise, by the time you're done eating it, you'll feel right as rain.

Tops has it now too! The 3 bars at the bottom of the screenshot below are what I usually buy. Buy 2 and get 1 free at the moment.

Thanks. Actually, I discovered Whittakers one day in Foodland by mistake when they were out of stock on my usual Lindt. Great quality, fantastic taste, and lower cost than the European stuff. I also really like their Ghana Dark chocolate too, which I think is 73% Coco. You can find them both at either Foodland or Villa at 50 Baht a bar for 50 grams. Maybe some other places too. Just have a look and thank me later. 😆 I haven't actually been to New Zealand yet, but I was planning a trip there to Christchurch recently to spend some time in the mountains and then unfortunately ended up going somewhere else a bit closer instead. But I do still hope to make it there one day. It sounds like a wonderful place.

Oh, what a wonderful thought. But then you see Roger Waters going on about some political rubbish and it ruins it all.

It's gottfiddle or goatfiddler? Or maybe he prefers Ziegengeiger. He actually looks a bit like Goldfinger from the Bond films or maybe just Uncle Fester/Fister?

Could have fooled me. But good for you. Sounded like you were giving yourself a self wedgie on that last post.

Thank you. I'll take all that as a compliment. Now go have another beer with all your wonderful local friends who don't want any of your money and that I'm fully deprived of. If only I could be more like you. So sad for me.

Thank you. I don't know. I guess everything changed for me when we had our love child together. I'm eating a delicious Whittakers Fruit and Nut milk chocolate bar right now, 33% cocoa, it's delish! you want some?

Haha, thank you, that was great, I only read the first few sentences and realized how out to lunch you are and couldn't go on without laughing to tears. Maybe you should check your blood pressure though. I know you drink a lot and you getting your underwear in that much of a tight bunch can't be a good thing for your old ticker. Even though Bob pisses and moans like and cow in heat, he at least gets it. For you I guess there is no hope. But carry on. Just watch your blood pressure mate.

Bingo. Just the facts ma'am.

Don't worry about Barbie Bob because he can’t handle the truth! We live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who’s gonna do it? BS Bob? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. Lol. 😆

What you are talking about is village life. It's a lot different when living in the city. You don't have those same kinds of small community social circles. Also, no, I don't drink at all. Haven't sat in a bar in decades. I don't moan and complain like the OP. I'm also not lonely, depressed, etc. So I don't fit the mold of most of the other geezers here on this channel. I enjoy life in Thailand. I also travel, which many here don't. I just fully understand the hierarchy of this place. It's that simple. I have no problem with it. It just is what it is. But noodle this: Let's say you've been living in the same village somewhere upcountry in Thailand for the last 10 years. You are polite, respectful, and well mannered to your neighbors and everyone else around you, you dress cleanly and show up at all the village events and ceremonies at the local temple, you pay your respects at funerals, etc, and you even pitch in a bit of money from time to time. So you are a well tolerated foreigner. Then let's say one day you're walking in your village and you accidentally stumble and fall onto one of your neighbor's children, and, as a result, you accidentally break one of that child's legs. A very sad set of circumstances, but, no matter what, you are at fault. Yes, it was a complete accident, yes totally unintentional, and just a sad set turn of events. But the truth is, in their mind, none of this would've ever happened if you never got off that plane in Thailand. And that's what makes you the infidel. But there is a way out for you now. Just open you wallet and you will likely continue to be tolerated. And if you don't then things could get ugly for you in one way or another. You were once well tolerated, but suddenly you aren't unless you pay for your wrong doings, even if they are completely accidental. That's just how it is, isn't it? And you have to accept that, don't you? Their country, their rules. So you're a foreigner who is tolerated as long as you remain in your place and don't cause any friction, right?

You could be right. I've never tried on Shopee. I use coins all the time on Lazada though. Also, I can't use the Lazada wallet because I am not willing to upload a photo of myself holding my passport page open. But I'm fine with that. Don't need the wallet either.

Oh Barbie baby, I love it when you talk dirty to me like that.

Don’t think I understand your point. But I’m not negative. Life in Thailand is great. I never complain about it. I just accept my place though. As long as I open my wallet I’m welcome. That keeps it easy and simple.

A minute ago you seemed sensible. Guess not. My bad.

Totally agree. And when I apply the word tourist I intend it to mean someone who is a visitor, who is not native, and doesn’t ethnically belong here. You can live in a place for 20-30-40 years and still be considered a tourist. It’s not only someone on a 2 week holiday that fits into that category. But as you’ve noticed, so many sensitive foreigners who have been here a minute and have tried to integrate will get offended if you call them a tourist. Too many big egos and small other parts. In my case, call me whatever you want. None of it offends me because I know my place.

Tourist, foreigner, use whatever pronoun for yourself that you prefer. Yes, you will begin to be more tolerated the longer that you live in Thailand in one place. It doesn’t mean you are now considered one of them. You are still the infidel. When I speak Thai and tell them how long I’ve been here they often joke with me and tell me that I’ve become Thai already. But I always think to myself “yeah, you don’t really believe that nor do I really want that to be true”.

Can’t wait to see what Anutin is going to tell all the rural people he encouraged to get into the business in one form or another. “Well, it was a great 2 years, now shut down your business and retire. What, you can’t retire yet? And you invested your life savings into this? And you have no other employment options? Well, whose fault is that? You know I was only kidding when I told you to get into the business to begin with, right?”

Try it and let us know.
