I'd be depressed too, if I had to work as a hospital cleaner!

Bloody good salary in Australia. 

Minimum wage is through the roof, working conditions are high standard, many rest schedules, coffee and lunch breaks etc., it's why Australia can't compete with industry, too expensive for manufactured goods. 

We lost our car manufacturering industry because the unions demanding high wages, shorter working weeks etc. very sad we lost our Holden's 😕

You don't even need a Tertiary education to make a good wage, it's near impossible to get fired. 

It makes sense to work in Australia for a few months of the year then travel to Thailand for a long holiday. 

If I remember the OP owns property in Sydney, minimum house price is $1,000,000, I reckon the OP would be the envy of some here. 

If I wasn't working on offshore drilling rigs around the world I'd be jealous.

Man high on marijuana crashes car, cuddles pets & smiles at cops 

It seems strange not being a Thai national that his Hong Kong nationality was not given in the headlines. 

I'm sure if he was British or Swede etc it would have been noted. 

After reading the article headline I assumed he would be Thai.

What a Turnip.

Swedes and Turnips do come from the same family.

Presumably, they want to know the age difference between you and the 26 year old adult you are with so they can judge you for it.

 

People get a little carried away with this anti age gap stuff. I think people wish they could date a much younger girl, but they can't, so they don't want others too either.

Yes, they were also my thoughts, thanks.

how old are you may I ask?

Why are you asking personal questions?

Anyway, when I was 21yo I had a 17yo gf.

I would be breaking the law.

Girls mature at a much younger age to boys, my gf would always tell me that boys her age act like children.

Go have a look at what threads,  it has started and not returned to them. 

I don't care, it doesn't bother me.

I'm always courteous, replying swiftly. 😎

failures of expats because "Lack of impulse control"

It's immaturity, sometimes it's due to poor parenting. 

You see these failures regularly on AN threads, some members instantly, without hesitation reply with hostility and anger always nasty, abusive replies.

Yes- I know that,

You should have mentioned that in your posting. 

I'm not a mind reader and the wife has my magical crystal ball this week.

man from Udon Thani astonishingly survived a fall from a 20-meter-high sugar palm tree with just minor scratches

I reckon there's a slight exaggeration on this news article. 

Should read 2-meter-high sugar palm tree. 

A great Aussie oldie 🇦🇺 🦘 🪃🍺👍 👍

Unfortunately, she was driven out of her own property.

Time to phone a friend. 

Plenty of Thai guys in Korat with a gun. 

Spend a few thousand baht for pest control, filthy animals invading properties. Point a gun to their head will see swift response.

Agreed.

 

Also agreed.

 

????

How?

Are you bring facetious?

 

The way I see it: From Shopee or Lazada one can only buy cheap stuff or stuff where the packaging shows what's inside. 

A phone is the opposite: any brick may be in there,  and most phones are not cheap.

Contrary to what many people think,  COD is no protection at all.

 

Or you say, I had 100 good buys with Lazada/Shopee, I don't mind being defrauded on the 101st one, possibly with the help of Lazada/Shopee

I agree with you, I never have and never will pay COD, for convenience and protection I always pay with my kasikorn credit card. 

Over the many years I have been sent the wrong item and on a few occasions I have had to get the bank to help me. 

It's quite easy, I go into my local kasikorn branch fill out a form and a few weeks later my money is returned. 

On each occasion I have kept the wrong item I received at no charge, getting a full refund.

 Is Thailand cheap to visit? 

I regularly see loads of Cheap Charlie's out and about, so it must still be cheap.

so, if the cops read this forum, they'll be looking for a Brit who's escaped from Pattaya. 

Not just British, we have many psycho foreigners here in Pattaya, most nationalities.

So many racists on here. Self haters, in my opinion are the lowest of the low. Regardless of where he was from this is behaviour not restricted to race as it could easily have been a Thai behaving badly. There are just D. Head people.

Gawd, you're a stick in the mud, you must be fun to be around. 

Calling people names is immature, it's not the school playground. 

BTW, in your comment, you're describing yourself as a hater. 

Enjoy your miserable day 😕
