Thai Ron

Some of us actually have to go through this life not being you.

Leave the poor guy alone. 

On the grand scale of things, he wasn't hurting anyone. 

Everyone gets down on their luck sometimes. 

Why didn't he just say he was picking up stones for his collection. 

The sooner immigration starts to lean really, really heavily on farang retirees' income proof, the better.

They need to come down hard on bent immigration officers by pretending to be retirees using agents to get around the income criteria.

Catch a couple, make an example of them and jokers like this potless postie will be a lot less ubiquitous.

There's no "leave the poor guy alone" about this because, on the "grand scale of things", he was taking food off a poor Thai or Cambodian's table by working in a restricted profession.

Blacklist and deport immediately

But wanting sex is normal, I don't know of any man that wouldn't have sex every day if it were easily available.

 

LOL!

That's because you were denied regular sex for decades when you were married.

In the meantime, other guys - myself included - were inundated with women our age who wanted sex as much if not more than we did.

It's easily available here but it's easy to say "no" when you've had a lifetime of indulgence

The poster must have been reading the fiction columns. Good start for a seriouse post.

"Idealic Beaches, (Full of crap) Cristal Clear Water) she must have meant out of the tap. HA HA HA HA HA.

So, in your opinion, she's way off the mark when she discusses the exploitation of women and children by scummy sex tourists/sexpats, right?

Is she wrong when she suggests that Thailand in general and Pattaya in particular have become the go-to boltholes for anything from

drunks, junkies and murderers to boiler room operators and paedophiles?

I think she's spot on with those assertions but I wouldn't let her choose my beach destination

I tend to agree with you Thai Ron but as in many other situations involving exploitation of adults and child labour what is/ where are the answers?  Stop the exploitation and let them and their families starve?  I would like the sneering farang women to come up with some suggestions occasionally!

They ain't gonna starve. They'll just get regular jobs and make do.

It's not as if every bargirl is making big bucks, is it?

No one's questioning or commenting on the "exploitative" activities of Western farangs in Thailand

Oh no, they're far too busy pointing how wrong the reporter got it on the "idyllic beaches" as if somehow,

that's what people reading the report back home are gonna be focused on.

For me, I think the greater presence of Western women in places like Walking Street and others like soi cowboy is fantastic and a welcome development.

If a sexpat's happy to do what he does, he shouldn't give a damn if there's a sneering, disapproving farang woman taking the piss out of him as he 

slips quietly outta the gogo bar with a girl a third of his age and a quarter of his weight.

LOL

I doubt many Brits returning home in the next few months for a visit or whatever will be as vocal about where they live.

"I live in Pattaya" will become "I live in Chiang Mai"

Wonder why? 

The way I see it, if you're so proud of what you do out here, why wouldn't you want everyone to know about it?

That being said, I can see Bob, the ex-truck driver from Nuneaton cancelling his traditional jolly to Benidorm and limping on to 

a plane for Pattaya with a pocketful of cash courtesy of an Ocean Finance secured loan.

Now you are trying to drag me and others down to your level. No thanks ThaiRon, you've placed  yourself into that lower berth.

You're already there, mate.

I could easily pull out a few posts in which you've made judgmental statements about others' lifestyles or life choices so careful when you climb down off that steed

Apparently , oral sex and such like things are deeply offensive and embarrassing to some people and cannot be mentioned on a discussion about Thai ladies libido.

 

So what Thai Ron was talking about is taking your partner out for a meal or a scenic drive.

That's not what I had in mind .

and would u do the same if you knew you could not have sex again

Not married, buddy but I can't imagine not being able to meet my obligations in that regard.

There's other things a man can do to pleasure his woman, though

well ok i try answer it  my wife is 53 but she looks fantastic  if she came to me and said i need some good times i would prob agree we both know that we  will never have sex again so why should i say to her you cant have any either 

Top fella

Just now, Happyman58 said:

why are u offering lol

Certainly not.

Far too old for me but it was a serious question

my wife is 53  and she would handle sex anytime  my time for sex came to end when my prostate problems started oh well i had a good run so i am like you col i would settle just once for sex also but it will never happen for me either lets have a beer col and be happy  sex is not all to end all

Would you be upset if another bloke "saw to her needs" in the absence of your ability to do so?

9 minutes ago, colinneil said:

No man your age wants sex every day of the week.

I would settle for sex just once before i go, but that will never happen.

My wife is nearly 50 and if i was capable it would be no problem for her.

Oh I dunno

There was some dreamer on the other day (irishjack, I think his name was).

He reckoned that, at 95, he gets his rocks off 10 times a week.

Funniest thing I read all week

Just a bit judgemental aren't you? If he is single and enjoys the company of a beautiful lass in his bed; what business is it of yours? If she is willing and he can rationalize the money for pleasure formula, what is the problem?  I have always felt your retirement years were best used doing what you like to do as long as you can. Some men have wives and family around them in their sunset years, others are single and still have a party or two left in them. Of course, being financially secure and reasonably healthy is the key which allows you to choose. The worst of all worlds are those who spend their retirement living as cheaply as possible and forgoing what they need or would rather be doing.

Yes, I am judgmental but no more so than you or any other human being who makes judgments of varying degrees of importance each and every day 

so I ain't going to make any apologies for my comments.

Do you know how much gold is in Thai grannies underwear drawer?  Do you know what happened to the Swiss Franc?  No of course not.  (On Wednesday one euro was worth 1.2 Swiss francs; at one point on Thursday its value had fallen to just 0.85 francs. A number of hedge funds across the world made big losses. The Swiss stockmarket collapsed.) Maybe you should look into what happened to the Thai economy in 97 the how and why and where it is now. 

Mate, first you assumed I didn't know that most Thais are Buddhists (in another thread) and now you're making another erroneous assumption that I'm unfamiliar with what happened in this region in 1997.

With all due respect, given how out of touch you are on so many other things, you'll forgive me if I don't pay much mind to your attempts to "educate" me

Given that this thread has deviated into the usual subject, it might be better in Farang Pub sub forum.

Sorry but weren't you the one who added to the deviation (initiated by "amvet") by introducing the "dying in bed with a prostitute" as being your ideal way to go?

This is Thai Visa and a Thai forum.  Why would people who live in other countries be posting on Thai Visa?  

What kind of question is that?

Do you actually think before you type?

There are probably more members who live in the West than there are who actually live in Thailand.

It's not just for people who live here - it's for those who visit regularly too.

Of course it is. Best way ever to go out. 

I certainly don't want to spend my last years living in the hell of a rest home wishing I was in LOS with a beautiful lass in my bed.

To attempt to conform to the OPs wishes, I've been to other Asian countries and have no desire to live in countries where I don't have the option of waking up with a beautiful lass in my bed.

Well I wouldn't expect anything else from someone who evidently doesn't give a toss about the poor girl whose in bed with you at the time of your demise.

Moreover, I think it's incredibly sad that someone chooses where they live based on its proximity to a brothel.

Congratulations, mate........you got life SO right

I imagine you haven't been here 20 years or more as the same was said 20 years ago but things are fine.  More people are educated every year more tourists every year and export growth every year.  In 97 the country was going to fail.  Did it?  Or did it rebound?  How is the baht doing?  The sky is not falling as the old timers will attest.  

Just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't.

Absolutely everything is built on debt.

Debt secured against assets - real estate mostly - with values literally marked to make believe.

All those toxic assets CDOs, synthetic CDOs from the run up to 2007/08 and Lehman Brothers haven't been expunged from the system. 

No, they're just tucked away somewhere nice and quiet off balance sheet in so-called "bad banks".

The assets they're secured against - real estate in US - are still way down from their peaks.

The next crisis is a currency crisis - when everyone loses faith in the value of money (paper backed by nothing more than the promises of a government).

You can't get more "fail" than that.

Hang on to your Swiss Francs and gold 

Just now, amvet said:

Oh sorry.  I thought you wanted me to post about my area and not about the economy in general.  I guess you meant you wanted me to post about my area only if the information was negative to Thailand.  I'll try to think of some negative stuff to say in the future so I won't be such an embarrassment to the average TV poster. 

That is what the topic calls for - posts about your area but although you started off fine, you then went on to doubt the existence of poverty in Thailand citing the absence of Iran-style demonstrations and civil unrest as some kind of proof.

It sounded like you were saying that, because everything is A-OK in your neck of the woods, it's fine everywhere.

19 minutes ago, amvet said:

I understand.  I live in a very prosperous area of Thailand as does everyone I know and my whole Thai family.  I don't know where you find all these poor people.  If Thailand was wracked with poverty it would be ready for street demonstrations like they are having in Iran now but they don't.  Top concerns are white willies and new cell phones. 

LOL!

You really can't see beyond your own nose, can you?

My neck of the woods is full of well-to-do suited and booted Thais.

New condos going for 250,000 a square meter and new Bimmers, Mercs and Porsche Cayennes as far as the eye can see.

That doesn't mean I'm oblivious to the plight of ordinary Thais just scraping by if I go outside the confines of the low-to-mid Sukhumvit  corridor.

They're not protesting because the army has banned political gatherings etc but you'd know that if you weren't so out of touch

Your assertions that top priorities are white penises and new cellphones seem incongruous  with the ostensibly hi-so pretensions of your Thai "family" in that "very prosperous" area of Thailand.

Many experts? No they don't.  My cardiologist and his associates are in agreement that Viagra is not harmful if taken as prescribed to me.  I think given my age and condition and general level of education and motivation I know 100% more about my condition than you do.  Why would you presume to debate with an expert?  Since it's my body and I have the time and inclination I am thoroughly educated on the subject (my condition)  I have forgotten more about what condition my condition is in than you will ever know.  Hef went deaf from too much Viagra, my Momma who you probably knew told me I was going to go blind from doing something I liked when I was much younger.   Ever since I reached puberty people have been telling me in one way or another to keep it in my pants. One of the big reasons me and my other old fart friends stay in Thailand is we don't have to. 

 

Mate, your life, your choice. No need to get upset

I just provided a link to one highly-esteemed source on this subject

You provided a link to a bloody Kenny Rogers song.

Says it all, I think

Hef was 91 and probably forgot to take his Viagra.  Although I'll go like Hugh any day at 91.  My point was Viagra and sex don't harm your heart and sex is good exercise regardless of what age you are although you seem to want to deny it to us older folks.  Why? 

I don't want to deny it to anyone.

Why on earth would I want to do that?

I only suggested that a man with your medical challenges should be less cavalier about using drugs that many experts warn you to steer clear of.

Quote

These drugs are safe for healthy hearts, but all men with cardiovascular disease should take special precautions, and some cannot use them under any circumstances. The problem is their effect on arteries. All arteries, not just those in the penis, generate nitric oxide, so any artery can widen in response to Viagra, Levitra, or Cialis, causing blood pressure to drop temporarily by 5-8 mmHg, even in healthy men.

But, hey, if you wanna hasten your departure from this plane of existence, go right ahead

Why would you say that?  Older men like Playboy's Hugh Hefner and actor Michael Douglas have sung the praises of Viagra, but now scientists say the erectile dysfunction pill is not only good for your sex life — it's good for your heart.  Viagra allows greater blood flow. British Pfizer scientists Peter Dunn and Albert Wood create a drug called sildenafil citrate that they believe will be useful in treating high blood pressure and angina, a chest pain associated with coronary heart disease.Mar 27, 2013
