If a policeman tells you to do something you do it. You don't question his authority. This is the problem with some people these days, they have no respect for the law or for authority. To suggest that they needed to defend themselves is absolute nonsense, there is no way the cop would have shot them. So either they have watched too many movies where police fire willy nilly at people or they are pathologically guilty and so afraid of the police that they think they should be shot at.

The racism on this forum is getting out of hand. Unless you've seen a video (and the one I saw didn't show it) that clearly shows the 'kick' then all you are basing your opinion on is hearsay and the typically poor Thai reporting. I doubt very much the kick was a full blown serious attack. Also, I'm not sure what is up with some of you but that Russian woman is a lot hotter than the younger Thai she is alleged to have kicked. Not that being more attractive and probably more cultured is an excuse, but I know which one I'd rather be in a relationship with.

Your islands? When did you acquire the right to call them yours?

Hopefully not her face.

How do they do that when allegedly there are no local prostitutes. I wish they would stop this ridiculous anti-foreigner nonsense and just let people get on with their lives. How is this poor girl hurting anyone?

The final two paragraphs are about the Thai pilot who delivered a baby mid flight last week. It was in all the news. These news reports often seem to include some tenuously related story at the end.

I already do although not as much as I used to. I'd rather not get bigger, I like being the same size at 56 that I was at 21. I'm 6'2", 72kgs and trying to lose body fat as I'd like to see my abs which got covered with an inch of fat during the pandemic. Like I said I don't look too bad now, but my 38 year old Russian GF is way hotter than someone with my body should be with, and I know that in a few years as I start to get wrinkles and bits start to sag I will not want to be naked in front of her or anyone else. I used to me a male escort and a male stripper, so I'm not lacking in confidence. I just like perfect bodies and mine will never be perfect again.

Your job is to be someone your partner is turned on by, not be repulsed by. If you are having sex just so you get pleasure then you're doing it wrong. You are supposed to give them pleasure and they are supposed to give you pleasure and a big part of that pleasure is not to be repulsed by each others naked bodies.

Best documentary ever.

Except this condo doesn't have balconies. Same as my building. Everyone who has jumped from my condo (4 whilst I've lived here) had to have opened a window and climbed up onto the waist high window ledge so they could jump out. Those are not accidental, those are all very much a decision the person has made to climb up and jump.

Aside from the weed (which seems crazy cheap compared to what I buy in the shops), I of course have all the other tools. I've tried weed that is 1000 baht a gram and it barely gave me a buzz after smoking the entire gram. So assuming I bought 10 grams of this weed, is it going to make it so I can't even walk and have to crawl across the living room floor to get to the bedroom, or just pass out on the sofa because I can't move? And how many servings with this sort of effect can I expect. I don't want a 5 beer buzz, I want to be completely unable to function as if I've done a big line of ketamine. I've used loads of different party drugs and first smoked weed about 40 years ago. I quit drinking and I'm looking for something to get me completely off my tits at least a few times a week.

Just because you are capable doesn't mean you should. I figure I have maybe 4-5 years before my body looks too old and repulsive for me to get naked in front of a woman. By 60 I figure it will all be over. How many of you can honestly say your naked body isn't repulsive? Right now I'm still quite proud of my naked body, although not as much as I was when I was under 45 or even under 50.

There is a class system everywhere. I'm probably what most people would call upper middle class and proud of it. You just have to go where the upper middle class Thais go, business networking events, wine tastings.... The Pacific City Club is a good place to join if you really want to meet good people - https://www.pacificcityclub.com/events.html.

I have several good Thai friends. I'm now 56, I was 41 when I arrived in Bangkok to work in IT. One of my good Thai friends was the Manager of an Oyster bar I used to go to in Ekkamai about 10 years ago, he went to school in Auckland and we became good mates. Another is a Thai guy who I met through a work connection, he went to boarding school in the UK (the same one that his father and grandfather attended). Very rich family, really nice people. I met a lot of his friends at various parties etc but never really became good friends with them. Most of them are rich like his family. Another is a guy I met through a facebook group, he's regular middle class Thai, earns around 180K a month, travels to Korea, Taiwan and Japan a lot for work. We chat online at least once a week and then meet up every few months for coffee and to discuss the latest tech gadgets he's brought back from his trips. I'm also friends with a very rich Thai politician who's name I can't mention. He used to take me to the gentlemen's clubs in Ekkamai which was lots of fun 🙂 I know a lot more Thai guys through various social groups etc but wouldn't call them friends, more just acquaintances.

Keep up. The original poster started this thread with "I have a friend..... " A 'friend' who spent 4 months in a Thai prison for domestic violence. Not the type of guy I'd be offering any help to.

Yes, but if the power goes out you will lose everything that isn't saved. You could maybe get a small UPS (uninterruptable power supply) if that is a concern.

Great choice running Linux Mint. Really for your use case any of the mini form factor PCs will be fine. Just make sure you go with one that can be upgraded to 32GB of Ram and has at least one M.2 slot for storage (2 would be better), then kit it out with 500GB M2 SSD for the OS and files you access a lot, and a 1TB or 2TB M.2 SSD for storage.

They are businessmen or Entrepreneurs.

Google this place on Maps. Thai Angel Bar & Buds (Sukhumvit 60)

3200 THB for a machine that is not only expensive but I'll have to wait for, then I'll need to buy I presume a few 1000 baht worth of weed, finally I have to make gummies (will need a mold for those too). I'd rather just buy some that I can take immediately. The only reason to do them yourself is to make sure they are really strong. Consuming weed is pointless if if don't turn you into a human jellyfish.

Because it takes too long.

Just google Russian Escorts Pattaya.

You've been given some good advice. To give further advice, we would really need to know a bit more about the business, specifically are you planning to sell a product or service online, or is the website merely an online brochure to tell people what you offer and then the actual sales etc are handled via email. If the latter then you'd only need what we call a Static Site, and that would not need updates etc quite so often (if at all). If I were you I would take up TGW's offer to meet in person and have a discussion about your actual requirements.

Easy to fly from Thailand for the shows. I know a few people who are taking their kids to see her perform.
