  1. Is this how you generally react to people that are complimenting you? :(((
  2. Despite the “success” that the Ukrainian forces have known during the last 2 days I am starting to worry. As the many photos/videos and reports coming out of Ukraine show Russia first sends young soldiers who are no more than 25 years old. Wait until Kadyrov's barbarians arrive soon... it's going to be hell.
  3. I don't know if my experience applies with Thai girls as I'm gay and only been with Thai guys since I'm here (I'm 34 - been here since 2010) but I think it all depends on the Individual. During one of my best time here back in 2014 when I had good finance and was in a great place in life (in shape, exercising, looking good, wealthy, etc..) I was in a relationship of2 years with one of the worst person I've ever been with that cheated on me and did bunch of other things that I won't mention here. (he was 25 and went to one of the biggest university in Thailand). Last year during one of the worst phase of my life (got fat, health problems, money was very low) I've met the nicest person I've ever been with till this day that always cheers me and always ask me if I need something (to the point where it's getting annoying tbh). He's 21 working in a 7/11. It all depends on the individual tbh.
  4. "man from the land of perfume" Land of Perfume, Land of smile.. what's next? Land of Poutine?
  5. After a scary arrhythmia episode I visited for the first time the cardiologist at Lanna hospital back in July 2014 (Dr. Supachai) and been visiting him when needed ever since. Great person and take time to listen and answer questions. I highly recommend him. I also find Lanna hospital to be quite cheap for a private hospital (did an ECG + Stress test a few years ago which ended up costing 10,500 bahts)
  6. The problem in Thailand is that they're not teaching the kids how to think - they teach them what to think. As a former teacher here I've see it over and over again.
  7. Can someone enlighten me please. I've been using a Paypal account here in Thailand since 2016 I think (with one of my e-commerce site that's linked to my Canada bank account). 60% of my online transaction rely on Paypal & this account. Will I still be able to receive payments from overseas (most of my customers are in USA & UK) to my Paypal account even though I'm based in Thailand or? TBH I kind of understand Paypal point of view. Most of the criminals living in Thailand are using Paypal and trade cracked Paypal accounts and sell them on the dark web..
  8. So you're telling me that the Health Minister of Thailand didn't bother looking at what vaccines were recognized in Switzerland before flying there? Really? These are the people that are in charge of Thailand btw. Let that sink in. Absolutely unbelievable. I love Thailand and think it's a beautiful country but alot of Thais seems to think that the world revolve around them and that everyone is only thinking about them. They seems to have absolutely no awareness about the reality and what's going on in the outside world. I expect P'Ball from the mom n pop shop sipping on Kao Lao on Sunday morning watching Muay Thai to do that kind of mistake not the <deleted>**g Health Minister. I really hope (won't happen) that the Thai people (at least those that are running the country) one day wake up and realize that they're being laughed at. But I'm afraid asking for them to be self-aware is asking too much. Mai pen rai.....
  9. ''Promises "transparency" and "SPEED" in investigation Speed indeed - It only been 10 years after all...
  10. I'm 33 and been having anxiety/panic attack since I was 16. At first i was only having Tachycardia (fast heartbeat) but in July 2014 I've started having arrhythmia (heartskips, heart pausing, etc..) and went to a cardiologist in Chiang Mai that told me it was only benign PAC/PVCs. Ever since I'm kinda always fixated on my heart and everytime I'm going outside (I have social anxiety) I sweat and my heart skips while my blood pressure skyrise. It's extremely annoying and made me stop a lot of things that I loved to do (Muay Thai, hiking, etc..) And to make matter worst my father unexpectedly dropped dead in 2018 from heart failure. I personally don't want to touch antidepressants since I know a few people that had bad experiences with it but I highly suggest you try psychotherapy first to try to identify what's causing your anxiety. Sometimes opening up and letting go of how we feel to someone really helps feeling better. Best of luck. Anxiety/depression really sucks and people that aren't going through it tend to not understand what were going through (and I don't blame them - even I feel lost at time don't really know what's going on).
  11. A FP driver came to the shop of my friend last year to wash his motorcycle. He told me that they get something around (I don't remember the exact amount) 28-32 bahts per delivery (not including tip). I think Grab pay their drivers a little bit more but I'm not exactly sure.
  12. Funny that you mention that because I was actually wondering if they would be selling beers again at Big C food court on October 1st or no? Or is this considered the same as a bar?
  13. There is a big difference between listening to understand and listening to respond.
  14. ''Yes hello sir this is David Johnson calling you from Microsoft sir'' *heavy indian accent*
  15. Alot of people seems to have problems reading... READ PLEASE. He is suing for defamation because the other lawyer accused him of blackmail. It has nothing to do with the video. ''Sittha told the media on Tuesday that he got the clip from a low-ranking officer and before he released the clip, the low-ranking officer has sent the video to Decha first but he refused to released it to the public because we wanted to blackmail Joe for money.'' “I have filed a complaint to prosecute Mr Sittha for defamation and violation of the Computer Crime Act after he accused me of trying to blackmail the former chief of police at Muang Nakhon Sawan police station,” he said.
  16. I've seen the full video of the murder this morning and it has to be one of the most horrific thing I've ever seen (and I do watch alot of gore). You could literally hear the guy crying while gasping for air. It went on for a good 4 minutes and then.... complete silence. I couldn't help but picture myself in his shoes and the horrible feeling of not being able to breathe while being suffocated by 6 bags over my head... truly horrific. I'm not holding my breath (no pun intended) knowing how the police operate here but I REALLY hope that for once justice will prevails but yeah I don't think it's gonna happen. Things aren't looking for the RTP with everything that's going on right now. Could this be the start of a civil war?
  17. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0481429/ Been watching Lady Bar 1 & 2 (2007) on repeat for the last week or so. A classic! Plot: Jean and Polo are two good friends. Jean has been playing golf since the day his wife, Caroline, found a lover. Polo meanwhile, who is used to traveling in Thailand, decides to take him there and offers to accompany him to a hostess bar in Bangkok. But Jean finds it degrading to pay to make love and decides to go through a marriage agency, without success. Polo then decides to leave for Pattaya, a seaside resort where Jean will meet Pat, a young Thai woman.
  18. This is gonna get ugly before it gets better. If Prayut really cared for the Thai people he would resign. But he is too busy caring about himself and himself only.
