Agreed. Must be a very bored old man to post such inane questions.

At least the guy had friends who bothered to check where he was. I have a lot of friends here in BKK, but I reckon I would lay here rotting for a month before any of them actually started worrying about me. I have no idea where 99% of my Bangkok friends live. We meet in restaurants, coffee shops and malls. If someone I know doesn't respond to messages or emails then I have no way to "knock on their door".

I will never understand why people use the confused or sad emoji on nice posts like this and your previous one.

More worrying is that so many people like fat chicks.

It's just a pity that being obese takes so long to kill.

When you consider the risks facing Thailand because of low birth rates, to have such large numbers of the children getting killed each year is an even bigger problem. I wonder how many pregnant Thai women get injured or killed each year and what number of potential births are lost in that way. There's not much point trying to solve the low birth rate issue if you can't keep children alive!

Someone should inform the Texas Chicken outlet near me.

Would you have said "you don't whack someone half your age" if the Brit was the one who had been killed? The correct answer is to never use violence to solve problems.

True, although it can be a bit of an issue when the person first catches it, especially for women. As a man, if you have it you really need to tell every partner so they can decide if they are willing to take the risk of catching it from you. Unfortunately, because of the stigma of sexually transmitted diseases and because most people are not as well educated or informed as we all should be, most people don't know enough to make an informed decision. And worse still, people with HSV-2 don't tell potential partners for fear of rejection.

The numbers in India are relatively low. Why didn't you check the numbers for US Adults? In the United States, approximately 12% of adults aged 14 to 49 have genital herpes, specifically caused by the herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) . This statistic translates to about 1 in 8 individuals within this age group being infected with the virus. Notably, many people with genital herpes are unaware of their infection, as symptoms can be mild or absent altogether .The prevalence varies by gender, with about 1 in 5 women and 1 in 10 men in this age range affected by HSV-2 . Overall, while genital herpes is common, a significant portion of those infected do not receive a clinical diagnosis, contributing to the spread of the virus . Or how about UK adults? In the UK, approximately 23% of adults are affected by genital herpes, specifically the herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) . This prevalence translates to around 36 million adults in the UK having antibodies to HSV-2. Additionally, the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), which primarily causes oral herpes, is also prevalent, affecting about 70% of the population. It's important to note that many individuals with genital herpes may remain asymptomatic and thus unaware of their infection status, which contributes to its spread .Overall, genital herpes is recognized as one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the UK, with a significant number of cases diagnosed annually at sexual health clinics . Let's not leave out the Aussies - In Australia, the prevalence of genital herpes is significant, with approximately 12% of adults infected with herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) . This rate is notably higher among women, with about 16% affected compared to 8% of men. The prevalence varies by geography and demographic factors, with Indigenous populations showing higher rates at 18% compared to non-Indigenous individuals at 12% .Additionally, herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), which can also cause genital herpes, has a seroprevalence of around 85% in the general population. This indicates that while many Australians carry HSV-1, a substantial number may not experience genital infections as frequently as those caused by HSV-2. The overall rates suggest that genital herpes is a common sexually transmitted infection in Australia, affecting a notable portion of the adult population . Finally, the Russians In Russia, the seroprevalence of genital herpes caused by the herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is approximately 18.8% among the general adult population. This figure is notably higher among women, with a seroprevalence of 24.0%, compared to 12.2% in men. The study indicated that the prevalence increases with age for both genders, suggesting a significant public health concern regarding HSV-2 transmission in the region.This prevalence rate places Russia's genital herpes statistics in line with some European countries and the United States, highlighting the widespread nature of this sexually transmitted infection Herpes, is a lot more common than you think.

Your original post was very poorly written. You should have included more information. Let me give you an example. "My girlfriend and I live in Nakhon Si Thammarat and we would like to improve our conversational English. We would like to find a British or American gentleman who would be interested in some conversational English lessons. We can only pay a small amount, but it would be enough to buy yourself a few extra beers."

I was about to suggest it sounds like Fibromyalgia

Sounds like a pretty normal party to me. Almost all the parties I went to from about 1995 to 2005 had people doing drugs and having sex. We were all in our late teens to mid 30's. Parties on yachts, in hotel suites, in luxury homes, in clubs..... I guess poor people don't enjoy the same level of debauchery and excess.

That was my experience. Smoked for around 25 years, was up to 2 packs a day. Just stopped. Didn't change anything else about my lifestyle, at that point I was still spending hours a day in bars (drinking and playing pool). I simply said ok that's my last smoke and it was. No cravings, not touched one in about 14 years. I also did the same thing with alcohol 4 years ago. All it takes is willpower.

It'll get better. Although it feeling like 16 years when you only quit yesterday must be tough 🤣

Do you buy your tinfoil in bulk?

They won't make a custom bong, too expensive unless you want to order several 100 units. Also depends on the level of customisation.

Move them further away.

Body hair is repulsive. The only place I want hair is head, legs, forearms.

Hong Kong has had a departure tax for many years (decades?) which currently stands at HK$120, equal to approx 512 THB and applicable to every passenger over 12 years old. Personally I'd be fine with 1000-2000 THB tax on entry or exit.

Church's Texas Chicken is an American fast food restaurant chain that specializes in fried chicken and is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. The chain was founded as Church's Fried Chicken To-Go by George W. Church Sr. in April 1952, in San Antonio, Texas, across the street from The Alamo.[3][4] Church's Texas Chicken trades as Texas Chicken or Church's Chicken in many countries.[1][2] The chain is owned by American private equity firm High Bluff Capital Partners. As of 2017, Church's Texas Chicken had more than 1,700 franchised and company-owned locations in 26 countries. Church's Chicken began its international expansion in the 1970s, in Canada, Mexico, Japan, and Puerto Rico.[14][15] In the 1980s, it gained popularity in Indonesia when it opened under the trade name, "Texas Chicken". In 1989, after a four-month legal dispute to avoid a takeover, Church's Chicken became the second-largest chicken restaurant chain when it was acquired by Popeyes for $330 million.

There is no such thing as 'haunting' Bunch of stupid superstitious nonsense that only ignorant people believe.

I thought it was "No Money, No Honey" for the man's side, ie if you have no money hard to get honey. And so "No Honey, No Money" would mean if the woman stops providing the honey, the man stops providing the money.

How can anyone answer this when you've not said what sort of life you want, how old you are, how rich you are and a bunch of other important factors. For me personally I would never live anywhere in Thailand other than Bangkok. I want convenience, lots of high end malls to shop in and a lot of people so I can have a large social network. I first started coming to Thailand more than 40 years ago and have been living here for the past 16 years. I've been to a lot of places here and whilst it used to be nice to stay in a luxury resort hotel in Phuket for a holiday, living there would suck, especially nowadays. The 'provinces' are undeveloped, dirty places and mostly filled with peasants. I can't imagine why anyone would want to be out in the boonies with no mates to hang out with.
