The main problems is buddhism and their branches is outdated. Back in the time, their lectures and symbolic rituals might had some purpose, but at some point became money and power driven, and used as political tools.

A calorie counter app is a good start. I thought I had an idea how many calories I consumed a day, but I was wrong. Make sure you know what you eat, and move more. If not possible to go to a gym, buy home gym equipment. Elastic bands and a rower is the most efficient. Be diciplined and get up in the morning, and start moving. There is nothing that comes for free, unless you are genetic gifted.

I never asked a freelancer any intimate questions, but as far I know, none of them worked bar or gogo anymore or after we met. Most of them came along for as long I was around, and a few I kept contact with until I got married. Quite a few of them where also married by then.

Independent freelancers is a whole different story than girls working in massage parlors and bars with mamasan who decide who the girls going to entertain. Or those places customers pick a number

Kamala and the other beaches north of Patong is rarely crowded.

In Japan, where men work 16 hours a day, often away from family, there is other variables and culture. Same as China where the boss takes you to "Karaoke"

Suicide rate is more complex than just available prostitutes or girls in general. In 2019, Sweden had 14.7 suicides per 100,000 people. Historically, Sweden has had a high suicide rate, with the most suicides in the developed world during the 1960s. That may have been due, at least in part, to cultural attitudes regarding suicide and long, dark winters, particularly in the northern regions. The government responded to the crisis with social welfare and mental health services, and the numbers have dropped dramatically. Today, Scandinavian countries – Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland – have very high happiness rates and relatively low suicide rates. However, the dark winters – 20 hours of darkness or more in each day in some areas – causes seasonal affective disorder (SAD), a form of depression, which has been known to correlate with higher rates of suicide. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/suicide-rate-by-country

Prostitution will always exist, but the amount of girls who is involved changes with equal possibilities and economic prosperity. In Norway 99% of prostitutes is foreigners,

I think most men who comes to Thailand will be formed by the environment either they like it or not. Pattaya have a different expat environment than Hua Hin, even the same is present both places. If Thailand provided more security for girls and women, especially single moms, there would be less prostitution. Higher salaries and higher pensions would also ease the pressure on girls to provide for their parents. Not only illegal for women to prostetute themselves, but also illegal to buy sex, would changed the marked dramatically if there where real consequences

Pay tax to a country who only take and not give anything back, just doesnt feel right. I know you save tax in Norway, but still

Is there a reason why you feel you need vaccination against Monkeypox?

Prostitusjon have some ethical and moral challenges that not involve one part only. And thats the missing link in yours and likewise minded peoples view and opinions.

Not only western, But Im not here to convince you, Im just sharing my opinion, my view and how I feel about it.

You find it beneficial for you, and have a selfish view, thats a judgemental view? Expecting women to perform for your needs and satisfy your needs for a few baht, and maybe a few others before and after. You can imagine your only option in life to make a decent income, was to perform oral sex on women above 60? Touch them, show them love and passionate make love to them. Good luck

If you not ting tong from before, some places is worse than others to socialize and risk becoming ting tong. Never ending going in circles repeating the same over and over again and again. Socializing in Thailand can be challenging

It is always good to go somewhere and relax away from your home you stay 24/7 Most for my wife so she gets a few days off as well from her daily routines. Im served 24/7 and only doing maintenance and things they can not do, while she and her parents doing all the work with the farm, caring for animals, and do all the work with the garden and trees.

Rules and patterns is not constant, go with the flow, and try to be safe. Most on the road never had any driving school, and do as as everybody else doing.

Well as long it gives you comfort, and justify your actions, good for you

It is a dirty business involving ignorant and shallow people where many have a damaged view on women, treating them as goods they can do whatever they want and say whatever they sant.

Home monday or saturday same same, things needs to be done. On a weekend trip, a nice hotel, swimmingpool and a restaurant with international food. In Bangkok Mariot and Goji restaurant, or Hilton and Kai New Zealand restaurant is preferable
