SAFETY FIRST

It's only your own comparison, it happens, doesn't bother me. There are quite a few here who can relate to this, it's why we have so many complainers and moaners here, it's their choice, their life. You're not making any sense, you really don't understand. These girls live with their baby, under the one roof, the house has no internal walls or ceiling, just a roof with external walls and an outdoor toilet, with their parents and siblings. These people are the poorest of the poor. They barely have enough money for food and electricity, they haven't got money to start up a business, $10 is alot of money for them. Most are uneducated, they have got no business sense.

And what would that vetting process be, give a few examples. Tell me more, what are some of the other options.

If the boyfriend lies to the girl, - telling her to have a baby, - I will give you my salary, - I will be with you forever etc., then he disappears, what's your solution? What's with you guys, adding the honesty thing? 🤔

My girlfriend has a baby, the father of her baby pays her no money. She works at a supermarket in Pattaya gets paid 12,000 baht a month, sends 5000 baht a month to her mother for taking care of her baby in Ubon, a few thousand baht for milk, nappies etc., then she must pay for transport to and from work and food for herself. She pays for clothes and medication for her and her baby. I often buy her items, new shoes for work etc., because she just doesn't have money to buy essentials. How much do you think she has left of her salary each month? She lives with me, she doesn't pay for accommodation, electricity or water. These jobs outside of the sex industry you talk about, how much salary do they pay for these young mothers without university education? Some of these Thai young mothers don't have a choice, they must work in the sex industry. Feel free to belittle the female sex workers in the west, understand it's different in Thailand. I've had this argument before with you but you just don't get it.

I would have strange dreams taking malaria tablets when working in Angola. Very strange dreams, blood and guts and if I remember one dream that had your old neighbor in it. 😂

I see you commenting negatively at times regarding these working girls. You seem bitter, have you been screwed over by a working girl and hold a grudge. Get over it

Sadly, some of the young girls have to work in the sex industry because they have a child and the fathers run away and do not support their child. Unlike Australia, your wages are garnished if you run away. These poor girls have no choice. Some people here need to be honest with themselves.

This morning heard a BBC article on Pattaya radio, Canary Islands are protesting about tourism. They are protesting for better quality tourists. I reckon the Thai's will be protesting soon for better quality tourists, it's absurd letting all these troublemaking, lowlife foreigners in the country.

What's wrong with driving your car, it's safe, suits older people.

This one is going cheap, the previous Evil Knievl rider couldn't outrun the SUV. Typical riding manner from these foreigners that ride these e-trike scooter here in Pattaya. I'm sure they're all on a death wish. video_20240507_101109_edit.mp4

They're embarrassing. I see lots of elderly foreigners, geriatrics riding these hideous vehicles around Pattaya, at speed, not obeying traffic laws etc. They are also dangerous, you sit too low, if you are in your pickup you can't see them, some have a small flag. The only Thai's that use them are frail, elderly women. I'd never be caught dead on one.

Not an ebike. This one is a V8, it will get you from A to B quicker. You'll look cool cruising down soi 6 😎 disability scooter SF.mp4

Same sex couples need to identify, who is husband and who is wife.

Sydney was the best city on the planet but it's changed. I saw many changes, lots of barbaric people arrived in Australia illegally. In the 90's, I worked for projects team, an engineer involved with the City Rail CCTV installion, I was 24hr on call for the police, if there was an incident I would be called out to different locations to download video footage before network was operational. The Skaf brothers (google has a few videos) and their middle eastern friends, raping those school girls at the train stations and elsewhere, horrendous. I decided to get out of Sydney and work offshore, living in Thailand since. All my friends and family moved to QLD.

I was born in Camperdown, spent the first few years inner west, then the family moved to Guildford. I miss Sydney at times but not the cold winters.

So many times I've often wondered if so and so are Australians. I enjoy reading your comments, you find out all the phoneys, the fake Aussies. 👍 I find at times the phoneys respond differently, some with anger, hostility, they can be nasty and rude.

It looks cold

I don't believe you. 😂

The channel 8 reporter is a cutie.

Yes, he knew, it had a sign.

Gawd, that woman's voice is annoying.

Remotes are quite cheap these days, in our village the head woman offers them programed (front main gate) for 300 baht.

Yes, big crew on board, Full time job, I was forgetful at times.

Aaaah, yes, I remember, the good old days. 😂

Yes, against the law in Thailand.
