So, there are multiple ways for a retiree to spend his days here in Thailand I guess. I was calling Thailand my home for a good 10 yrs before I retired. Had a kid, bought couple houses, cars all paid for. I have things to do here like a bit of yard work, taking care of the kid, the beach is nearby, nice gym. Having said that I find myself bored at times and I wonder about the guys who rent a place, no kids, no other family in Thailand, How do you fill your time, your days with constructive things. I can see where drinking can become part of a routine. There is always a group who says "I'm never bored" Really? Seems like the gym, golf and bike riding tops the list of entertainment. AN can become addictive as well.

I find it telling when there's no one here trying to defend biden. I understand, https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/biden-s-attempt-to-capitalone-memory-issue-backfires-with-new-gaffe/ar-BB1i0pMf Toward the end of his remarks, Biden mistakenly referred to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi as the leader of Mexico.

Democratic lawmakers, including Senators Jeff Merkley and Tina Smith, denounced Hur's comments as inappropriate and accused him of politicizing his role as special counsel. So now its inappropriate to give a professional analysis.

The one in Central Festival Mall in Pattaya has the platinum option which offers some nice beef, much better than the train food.

Do you honestly believe he will continue taking care of said family. The wife doesn't work....probably, the grandmother who is probably in her 50's doesn't work....probably. The reality in my book is they are beyond lazy, they don't look beyond the next meal and are willing to let this trash stay with them.

You know Kamala is already practicing her speeches for when biden announces he's bowing out. But, not much time left for dems to have a different candidate. Do they really think they can prop biden up till after the elections and then have harris take the reins?

He can't speak. Don't the American people deserve a president who can utter a complete sentence without losing his train of thought. But, time is running out for the Dems to pick another candidate. Even CNN isn't holding back any longer, the segment I watched, they were dragging biden under the bus about his speech and lost memory.

Just watched a segment on CNN about biden's poor memory. Sounded like CNN was trying to drag biden under the bus....yikes. Could this be the end of biden?

A win win for everyone. You make money and agents are well paid.

More? No, me thinks I'm spot on.

It's so painful listening to biden speak. biden's handlers saying everything is fine, biden is fit as a fiddle is perplexing. Almost like a parallel universe. There is no way a sane person who hears biden speak thinks he's just fine.

Times have changed. So, a non American is in favor of US having open borders, your opinion is rather meaningless.

On behalf of us posters, I just want to apologize for the laughing emoji. Some folks have no manners.

You guys are at it again.

So another words, you have nothing.

It started at the 2020 debates where biden told migrants to surge the border when he becomes president. bidden created this disaster and now you want America to trust him to fix it.

One of the things about this style place if it's a place where you order off an app is that you forget what you ordered, and if you get 15+ people ordering things can get out of hand where you forget who ordered what. The food doesn't come all at once, it comes as it's prepared and you cook at table.

For biden's first 3 yrs in office the border wasn't a priorty. In fact during the debates biden told asylum seekers to surge the border. But, you knew that already.

These are most likely online ordering with a qr code. You sit at your table and order with phone. Much like Shabu platinum

Wow, nice job of talking down to posters. Many of us understood from day 1 this was a non story for the majority.

The poor are learning that the dems aren't their friends. Imagine barely getting by in a democratic stronghold while the migrants and illegals are being helped more than it's own citizens. All Americans regardless of color want the same thing....a better life.... a chance to succeed. Does anyone honestly think the millions crossing our southern border are helping the cause of the poor. That's why Trump is backed by more and more Blacks and Latinos.

Nothing says Isaan like the waff of plastic smoldering in the wind.

Their decision making skills are limited. Sort of like making marijuana a free for all without a thought. It will be interesting.

I tried booking a sea view room at the Hilton for the Fireworks Festival held in Nov. A month ago they told me they were booked up. C'mon. So I tried Hard Rock and a few others on the Beach Road......all booked. That just seems like a conspiracy to jack up prices later. This was in Pattaya by the way.

Years back, least 10 yrs I went into a barber shop in Sakon. Think it was the gold street, old short hunchback looking barber guy cut my hair. I cant read the sign but I see 60 baht on top of charges. He charged me 100 baht. He'd rather screw me once than have me come back again. Now, I pay 80 thb in a nice AC shop. Thais pay the same, well except they don't tip.
