I took his comment as more recognition of the fact that PT is just another version of the dinosaurs inhabiting the Senate. What's needed is another asteroid. Can the Thai populace conjure one up? Up to them.

You're still looking at it too narrowly. Many replies here are never meant to explore ideas or offer suggestions. They are meant to publicly proclaim the actual live presence of the poster and the fact that they have an 'opinion' or clever word play that should and must be recognized and appreciated. If they can zap a few zingers at anyone else in the thread or actually start an argument, then so much the better. This is all completely decoupled from the original OP topic. (Kinda like this reply! 55555.) As I said, that'll teach ya'. You can put lipstick on a pig, but......... The key to contentment in the Kingdom is to lower your expectations......... of everything.

Well past time to say goodbye to Twitter. What a steaming pile.

As near as I can tell nearly all of the Thai population are sales people in one form or another. But that understandable when most of them are dirt poor.

Ah yes; unintended consequences. That will teach ya'. You must be forgetting where you are posting. Nearly all threads have a fair share of wasted digital ink. Most annoying are running exchanges between two members who have impugned each other's intelligence/honor /standing/ego, etc. So we get to hear them polluting the thread by trading one or two line snipes for the next hour. It can be something as minor as the spelling of a word. That's when I move on even if it's an interesting thread. Maybe I've been here too long but I don't read most of this forum anymore . Just endless repetition and jaw-wagging.

Sorry for that. May depend on the IO, but the bottom of the form makes it clear that you can fill it yourself. I confirmed with IO in Thalyang, same in Huahin. This topic is a perrenial favorite do I didn't waste a lot of words. Search old forums for confirmation.

No, you need nothing from her.

I absolutely love it Celsius. Perfect description of the slight odor to the OP that I mentioned in my reply in this thread. Smoother way to put it than mine was too.

I agree with you, but I think the reason for their behavior is inevitable and clear. 1. Most if them have difficult lives financially, 2. They have lived long enough to know that Thai men as partners are a gamble 3. Many farang men appear to answer the first two needs 4. They have no reason their opportunities will improve as they age. 5.They are not 'dating', they are hunting. Who can argue with that logic? I suspect I would come to the same conclusion were I in their shoes/flip-flops. There's really nothing mysterious or unique about the OP's experience. If he doesn't wise up quickly he will stumble into a world of hurt, for himself and/or others. I have to add that his post has a faint odor of boastfulness laced with a whiff of virtue signaling. Maybe I'm wrong.

Or at least only long enough to drain you dry.

I think it's true. We won a genetic/geographical lottery in a very real sense. I was born in 1949 to a upper middle class family. We never wanted for anything and was taught to handle money. My life road seemed to present any opportunity I wanted and I took plenty of them . I loved my chosen career, electronic engineering, until the day I retired at 67. I just wanted to see new things. I'm more than secure financially and free to do what pleases me. I wonder at times about my choice of retiring to the Kingdom, but a fantastic Thai mate and reasonable contentment keep me here. I suspect it would be the same wherever I retired. I certainly have no regrets about coincidentally leaving USA two weeks after the Orange Slime took over. My generation took the big bite out of the sweet apple called America. Those times are gone for good I'm afraid. That tree is withered for lack of care by the people, the fruit rotten and wormy from greed and power, and hate and division poison the soil, maybe for generations to come. 'Retirement', like 'Peace', has become a word rapidly falling into disuse and will soon again become a quaint anomaly as it has been for the majority of recorded history. But at least some of us have recognized the blessing we were given. I am thankful for where and when I was born.

Just go to a garden store. It's ubiquitous. Read the labels. The ingredients are usually writtrn in English too.

Confirmation bias most likely. You see what you expect to. Or, turn it around: "Why is it that everybody I see not smoking cannabis is obsessed with shaving?" Obviously neither is true, as you already suspect.

You cast it as a binary argument. So be it. (I noticed you were careful to make it clear which person you were referring to in your evaluation ????) . Here's another one for you that is just as valid; Vote for trump or vote against him as a "poor excuse for a human being". Note that many Republicans also made that choice in 2016 and will again if necessary, but in greater numbers this time around. The cheeto is out of the bag and his true colors showing now.

Ummmm, ahhhh. Do you have to be a Democrat to oppose the presidency of a moronic egomaniacal con man? I consider myself as a rational voter. That's the only requirement needed.

In a single heartbeat. But honestly I'd vote for Mickey Mouse over trump. The man is absolutely human detritus.

Even if Troppo didn't I will: Trump supporters are all mentally ill. They want to turn my country into their asylum. I'm not a psychiatrist nor play one on TV, but I bloody well know crazy when I see it.

He accomplished one thing that I'm eternally grateful for: He kept the Orange Clown out of office for the succeding four years. That's Man of the Year material in my opinion. The world really needed the break too. It provides justice a time to prosecute his multiple offenses and crimes against humanity.

Sure. Easily. Monks will sanctify a dead cat if you pay them enough.

Hmmm. Is that helpful or dangerous?

He was replying to my post.

Best advice yet. I trust MicroSlut as far as I can throw the state of Washington. When I moved here I left my win7 desktop at home and bought a win10 laptop. I regret it every day. Eventually I'll have to move to linux.

I don't buy power equipment from Global any more. They don't support it at all and sales staff knows <deleted> all about it. That last is generally true for all departments though. Your experience is just soooo Thai. After 6 years here I'm still shocked sometimes. Amazing Thailand.

One good thing did come out of it though. Somchai's son will take some time off from his social media accounts to wonder why so many people seem to hate his father.

I will not even attempt to explain the mind of the ones who support this vile man. It may not even be possible for a sane person to do. In the end it would be as disgusting and futile as cleaning a stopped toilet that you know will soon be overflowing with feces again soon anyway.
