Have to agree with you on this one, and, yes, I don't eat there often these days.

...chips??

Watched a clip about it on YouTube last night. Supposedly, the Filet-O-Fish is not as unhealthy as one may think. (It's real fish, for example.)

I think my savings account and debit card were recently frozen. I don't live in Thailand anymore, so I worry that K-Bank may close my account for good. My point was that an account with a secured amount may be something that K-Bank might open for me, even if I don't live in Thailand. (Obviously, I would also like the secured credit card issued in this scenario.) I would open such an account with, say, 100,000 baht, which would give me a 'usable' balance of 50,000 baht. My main question is, of course, what visa, or residence status they require to open such an account.

I once met a girl (22), I knew from a beer bar, who was then pimping out two 17-year-old girls... But that was in Pattaya. Neither I went for it, nor a few other guys who she offered them too. (But, yes, they looked quite a bit younger than 20.)

If my bank (K-Bank) were to cancel my card (and maybe savings account), could that be an alternative? I mean, they would get a higher fixed deposit instead of a low savings account balance.

In China they once wanted to stop my then Thai girlfriend (26) from entering a horse-betting venue, cause they thought she was a minor.

ProTip: Folks who make comments about Westerners in adult venues in Thailand generally live in Pattaya 'Kee Nok' I heard a number of times in Bangkok. Hardly ever outside.

I have been called this in the past, for using the BTS (instead of a taxi), buying groceries (instead of dining at fancy restaurants), etc. - The Thais who called me that didn't know me, and had never seen me before. Most were males in their 20s or 30s (but once also some old women in their early 60s)... Mind you, I have always lived on budgets multiple times of what these people lived on, and have always been way better dressed than them. (Also, never been called 'cheap' in any other country in the world, only in Thailand...) Strangely, haven't been called this since 2020. It used to be more common 10 years ago...

What do you mean? What cap is that? Is this the BTS day pass?

Met a working girl online. She almost became my girlfriend. Guess what, half a day later her friend called her, convincing her that making a living lying on her back was preferable...

Well, he can try. And yes, of any police in Thailand, I trust the Tourist Police the most.

Been to Phuket several times, but never saw any child sexual exploitation there.

TAT: "We want long-stay tourists!" Immigration: "Only people who come for short holidays." Snowbirds: "Byeeee..."

I'm sure there are also hungry Americans...
