You are the one who brought your wife into the discussion. In my response, I said, “I suspect . . . Sounds like . . . I suggest . . .” 

 

 

 

Not once did I say, “For sure . . .I know . . . In my professional opinion . . .”

 

 

 

Your closing remarks were. “Trust me, I know!” Well, I do not think you do know.

 

 

 

So because my opinion is not what you wanted to hear, I am a bad guy.  So be it.  

 

Hey man, cut the vitriol please. You do not know what I did for a living before retiring in exactly the same manner as I do not know about your earlier life. 

Where you got the opinion that that I said I was medically trained, I have no idea. 

So as I said, ....based on your personal experiences.......

If you are unable or unwilling to post anything positive or at least with a modicum of cultural acceptability, then may I suggest you don't post?

differences of opinions and the ability to have a mature dialogue about those differences are one of the mainstays of a civilised society. Criticising someone you neither know or ever will know based on your assumptions doesn't fall in that category.

Just have a rethink think about it.

I should have got my ex UK wife of 20 odd years to contact you for a consultation...She would laugh at you...For SURE......

Plus one with a huge belly laugh. Only difference being, my ex would slaughter such an opinionated <deleted>.

Again, if you have a wife who is so uninformed as to believe a foreigner, especially her husband, knows absolutely nothing; then, I suspect your wife does not care for you.

 

If she is that uneducated, well, why? Sounds like you have not been a very good husband.

 

As far as menopause, yes, my wife has gone through menopause; sure, she had drastic mood swings, depression, hot flashed, sleep problems,  etc. Sure, it was difficult living with it and living with her, but I did everything I could to make her comfortable and happy because I love her. Fortunately, she is back to feeling well and living life with me.

 

I suggest if your wife is going through menopause and if you love her, educate her, support her in her time of need and your love will grow.

Thank you but I neither solicited nor welcome your views on my wife. Are you medically qualified? I doubt it .

do you know either me or my wife? No. 

You feel however that you are an expert and can dish out your views and experiences to all and sundry furthermore as they are your experiences there can be no alternative.

Conclusion is you are not a very very nice person which saddens me as I have seen some interesting posts from you in the past.

Before the arrival of Japanese dolls...

Call me captain cynical but are these Japanese dolls pre programmed to react in different ways according to the import country? 

If so will the local ones be able to break your balls, steal your money, get you to buy them a house etc etc? 

Genuine question because if not if not then I will invest in a couple of them ( got some great ideas lined up......)

Check back through thaivisa and you'll find a story about the employee who went to the police and reported 'her' blue book had been stolen and managed to get a replacement in her name. The original book for the car, a company car, was in the safe in the company office.

Can't remember how that one ended.

But I bet most of us can guess correctly!

These modern times sure do have their good sides too.

I had no idea what Lammtarra and Shergar were all about, of course I suspected a cheeky joke, but eeeuuuuhhhh? Me no capish!

Just 2 clicks on Wikipedia, and voila: instant knowledge!

And I was right about the cheekyness, I wonder how I guessed that?

 

Ah the darkness is strong in this one.....

I am saying you are the fool if you do not get to know someone very well before you enter a relationship with them. Look at all the sad stories of farangs with local wives--most of the women and the men have changed only in looks. Yes, I too know divorce, been divorced twice, still friends with both of them. We divorced because our ideas for the future changed, not because they turned out to be loonies.  You need to be smarter than the problem, if you are not, then there you are.

Have you ever considered the effect that the menopause has on some women? A doctor ( female) and Thai) described it as hormone induced psychosis. 

Add to that the belief that the foreigner knows nothing and the lack of lack of education surrounding such an ailment and you have a very volatile situation brewing.

Trust me, I know!

Yes what you wrote above Is exactly like how the mother of my children Is. Add Jealousy to It all and you get a possible very dangerous cocktail. Have seen It go from vbad to worse? At the moment the situation according to her Is that my children dont want to have anything to do with me, dont want birthdayopresents from me and lastly I never have to come back anymore and I can die here. 

 

Pity  my 3 young Innocent kids for who the present situation Is the norm. Thanks to brainwashing and manipulation.

Guys, having just gone through a similar scenario out there and  being helped by some very kind and caring guys on TVF and by my relatives back here I sympathise with your predicament. 

I am probably the the worst one to offer guidance underl these horrid circumstances but what I can tell you is that you are not alone. 

I had had a fantastic group of posters give me some moral support that probably retained my sanity whilst I was trying to get out of LoS with my life intact. I can never thank them enough. 

It was only only when I got back to the UK in a normal but supportive environment that I realised how badly I had been psychologically damaged by the constant abuse. 

Dont leave it too oing my friend, no matter how strong your heart is, eventually you get dehumanised out there.

flame me, slam Mei p, I don't care any more but that is nothing but the truth. 

Reading this article from outside the LoS having recently been exiled. I am utterly flabbergasted that he was not arrested immediately but hey he is an indig. 

Blame the mothers for raising their little precciousssssessss self opinionated, never does anything wrong sons. 

These muppets really do need an uegent dose of the 21st century.

There are loan sharks in every country that there are customers.  And once they have you in their teeth they are very reluctant to let you go.  

 

It amazes me that these people that go to the sharks dont realise this...20% per month would always send alarm bells off in my way of thinking. Thats equates to 240% over a year.  How do people get that desperate?  Lack of planning? Poor financial sense? Stupidity?  Or a combination of all?

 

Perhaps these people have complained as a way of getting out of their loan?  Id be very worried if these sharks/gansters have underworld contacts .... they dont like squeelers/narks and have been known to 'shut them up' permanently.

 

Nasty pieces of work and a very dangerous situation to get into

You should see the adverts on the tv in the uk for easy loans which kick back APR in excess of 1000% ( yes one thousand)

7-11 has signs inviting one to buy beer at certain hours. Does that mean they will arrest all 7 employees?

Too true, and what about the signs and verbal invitations one ( used to?) see on WS promoting alcohol consumption?

Sure the army should decrease spending, sure the education department should be more efficient (and tons of other examples). But I don't see this happening and in the meanwhile there is no funding. I come from the Netherlands we almost have no army decreased spending on it all the time (and I agree). I would not mind to see a smaller professional army here. But I don't see this happening. 

 

Right now money needs to go to the poor, changes in spending are never popular and almost never happen. So the alternative is do nothing.  In a peferct world id cut army spending in half, clean up the corruption and mismanagement in education so i can spend less on it. Id put that money in healthcare and care for the elderly. However these are plans that would never happen, and in the meantime nothing would change for the elderly. 

 

All we can think about is to expand the tax base right now. 

Hi Robby my friend, 

we tend to have vastly differing opinions on most everything  hence you rarely see me respond to you. I believe each person is entitled to an opinion and just because it does not fit in with my views it does not make it wrong. This time my friend I fully agree with you. Good post!

If the sin tax is really a sin tax, why not:

 

1/ tax all animal products - after all this country claims to be buddhist.

2/ tax alcohol according to % as they do in the rest of the world.

3/ levy so much tax on sugar drinks that they are priced out of the market.

 

And I agree with Robblok - I would even say: I love to pay tax, of course on condition that we get something back in return for our taxes.

 

 

Hi old hippy dude, 

".......I love paying tax....." can I have some of what you are smoking please? 

Joking apart, you are, as ever, spot on but sadly with the exception of my stay in Singapore, I have never found any government to whom I have donated vast swathes of hard earned money to, act in a responsible manner with it. For example in the land of odourless farts the government gives away hundreds of millions of £ ( clue there) in overseas aid to countries that really no longer need it or for projects of questionable merit or value ( Ethiopian spice girls for example)  yet at home the medical care system is on the brink of imploding due to lack of funds, there are increasing numbers of homeless people appearing on the streets ( one of whom is my current non paying tenant) and they have no idea how to fund them. 

Is it a prerequisite to be synaptically challenged in order to get a decision making position in government nowadays?

Heres an idea, make prostitution legal in Paradise Lost (LoS), clean up the criminal side of the operations, turn Patts etc into a proper "sin city" and tax it. There would be an upsurge in horny but moneyed chaps ( and chapesses depending on their leaning) paying a visit from overseasvery few who would find it necessary to poop in the street and generate a shed load of money for the old.

Blind Freddy could see this tax/excise/duties increase coming. They have been hinting about it for months now. But they do it so nicely under the warm heartfelt cover of welfare for the elderly.

Can't disagree that the elderly poor need help and support but knowing this crafty government it is anybody's guess how much will go to the elderly and how much will go to military hardware.

Hi Chocolate man, 

To use the term crafty you infer an element of cleverness cunning or guile but from what I have seen of the muppet show it has none of those "attributes"  it's just graft ( and I am not referring to hard work)

Sure. Just without sweeping generalisatios that everyone is paying for it. It's kinda on the same level denial as farang saying it's fine to live on 10k baht a month like a Thai. Otherwise I have the same right as anyone to comment on it. Btw, the thread should be renamed what do you most like about Thai prostitutes imo.

 

Hi Global guy , 

you make a good good point though there are a fairly substantial number of prostitutes that are (genuine) girls ( generic use of the word) so they are included in the title I would have surmised. 

In my wild and very much happier youth as a ingleton, I admit to having partaken in an occasional dip or two in that particular "watering hole" and I swear I never knowingly dipped the love log  into anything that did not fit under the genre girls

but hey, you never know!

Sickening, no doubt his fine will be just over 500 baht, as was the other guys, i.e. who produced a sword in a two vehicle motorway dispute.

 

Think I will just go back and bury my head back in the sand, once having thought Thailand was a great place to live with harsher penalties for crime.

Hi 4my old chum,

you are right, I am currently on a wife induced exile back in the land where the sun always shines and farts don't smell but the more I read, not just on TVF, about the Land of Solutions, the less encouraged I am to return. 

Could it be given the new moniker of Paradise Lost?
