Well, well, no need to get your underwear all up in a bunch. You can remain in your blissful world devoid of any foreign infidels and pretend none of us are here. You can even log out of this site forever so that you don't even have to read any of our words. Life is good!

Not me, I only get "Sexy man, wheh u go?"

Want, or not want, isn't an option. They are everywhere. It's reality. Well over 30 years ago it was really no different. Now it's a factor of 10.

Can't say I agree. Electronics and appliances are cheaper, great. Faster internet, nice! Mass transit helps. The rest, I really couldn't give a toss. I still much prefer the old Thailand.

The BMA has been destroying the charm of old Bangkok for the last 25 years trying to make it look more like Singapore, which it never can/will be. Yes, 30 years ago the internet was shiite, mobile phone signals were also shiite, TVs were very small and expensive, new books were too expensive, VHS tapes were the way to go, cable TV programming was hopeless, no online hotel booking, no maps, no online reviews, couldn't find a decent croissant anywhere, there was hardly any edible yogurt, traffic was unbearable, no mass transit, buses belched black diesel smoke into the sky, two stroke motorcycles burning oil, a dollar only got you 25 Baht, but fark me, everything was cheap as chips and the place was fantastic. I would turn the clock back in a heartbeat!

You might be right. I think one of the first 2 on the list might do it. Possibly also the STD clinic in the tropical diseases hospital might do it.

I was planning to take a break from PornHub when you post the photos.

photos or it didn't happen.

Agree. They also killed street food and knocked down lots of old buildings which gave many of the neighborhoods some grit and charm. Those who were here in the eighties and nineties (pre Internet) know how great it was. Anyone who arrived after 2001/911 has no real point of reference as they all came once the Starbucks signs were already up and the gentrification and vanalaization had already started.

ok

I wasn't actually in the slum area of Khlongtoey, but it was still pretty unappealing actually and there were a number of roughnecks around. I was attacked once by some drunk local neighbors. I was really lucky I didn't get badly hurt. But I was also attacked once in a really good neighborhood in Bangkok by a guy who wanted my phone. So it can happen anywhere. That attack was worse. I was injured, but again I got pretty lucky.

Dance like nobody’s watching, love like you’ve never been hurt, sing like nobody’s listening, and live like it’s heaven on earth. And fark the rest.

Over 30 years ago I lived in a small, crappy little building at the end of a winding Soi in Khlongtoey close to the big filthy market. I wasn't living there for more than 2 weeks before meeting a bunch of Scandinavians also living in the building.

No, no, that's too tempting!

It's probably been under water at some point.

This old rag again? Hasn't it been done to death already? Read a book.

Hard to imagine that is possible unless you live at the end of a dead end Soi and never leave the area around the house.

I'm not sure it requires such a deep understanding. You probably understand more than you think. Possibly just over thinking it a bit. Most of what they do is to protect personal interests or elevate themselves in their Thai social standing. It's the driving force for most things, including religious practices, gift giving, etc. Sadly it's mainly driven by superficial and financial aspirations.

Heartlessness earns respect? Really? In Thailand?

Ouch, so heartless.

Yes, been there, no, don't eat sandwiches.

Presumably if there was a throat infection of either of those there would be some noticeable symptoms, possibly more though for Gonorrhea than Chlamydia.
