All depends on the woman. Everyone is different. I will give you a true example (same age difference) man takes out his thai girlfriend for dinner to a restaurant (very pleasant, tables by the river), the bill came to just over 400 baht, the lady turned to the man in all honesty and said I am expensive to take out. Example 2, the man wanted to do something a little special for his birthday, he suggested staying at a nice hotel with dinner, the same lady as above said I am low class, I would feel more comfortable staying at a cheaper hotel

Just because the ladies work in bars does not mean they are bad people, they would admit themselves they are only doing it to support their families. Some of your called ladies with decent jobs also offer extra services on a night time (I can introduce you to nurses, teachers, etc if you do not believe me)

Don't know but my girlfriend's brother brought 6 bottles of Dark Beer Lao over from Laos. Cost 29 bhat per bottle

This is getting boring!! If you go on the HSBC web page you will see they offer accounts for expats!!!!

I informed them I was moving to Thailand and ope.ned a new account with the said company

I still have house in UK

Twenty metres doubtful, number of times pickup/car has pulled out in front of me only to park up again 20 metres up the street

Chiang Khan, Nong Kai

I would think the people who empty sceptic tanks would be able to do it. Go to your tessabarn, they will point you in the right direction

Thai people have been treated like mushrooms for far too long

My own personal opinion is that Nong Kai is much nicer also the expats

The only thing I have noticed is that they (the bank) freeze the account if no transactions in a year

Can't blame it on the British this time

HSBC. Opened mine before I departed some 13 years ago

Everyone to their own opinion

Yesterday had first significant rain for at least a month in Loei but go 25km in either direction they have had it regularly

I thought once you return, it goes back to what it was before?

There are vans from Nong Kai to Central Plaza Udon Thani

Speaking as a non smoker, I would rather sit next to a smoker than one who vapes, horrible things

My personal experience is that the French are by far the most aggressive nation not the British, closely followed by South African and Australia

If he is your TRUE friend you will accept him for what he his. My friend for 33 years drinks every day, either in the UK or when he visits me in Thailand. There is no man alive who is more genuine than him. Over pre Christmas/New Year for one month in total I spent with him, we both understand each other, we both gave each other space, had a great time, at the end of the year he will be back over and I am looking forward to seeing him again

Yes.

Gambling sites outside of Thailand block you once they know you live in Thailand. So obviously illegal
