SAFETY FIRST

What is normal? It's not normal in Australia. If I send money from Australia to Thailand I always choose 'send AUD', only a fool would convert it to THB then send to Thailand.

That surprises me me as usually the rate is worse It's common knowledge not to send the foreign currency to destination, always send the local currency. The exchange in the remote country will be a much better rate.

I reckon the response has been appropriate, the comments expressed adequate and fair. I'd say the guy is on drugs, so no compassion needed here.

This issue is common, I transferred to my Australian bank, Kasikorn bank forced conversion of Baht to AUD to send internationally. I wanted to send baht, have the conversion in Australia, it's a better rate.

Not your problem Probably. I doubt you'll be paying the landlord rent if the house is uninhabitable.

Australian Father Finds Missing Son Bangkok 😂 He's been found, he's in Bangkok, the guy has no interest in talking to his father. Like I said Dazz, come down to Pattaya, enjoy yourself, spend that inheritance money, leave him nothing. I reckon you should remove him from the Will.

It's all the dodgy foreigners arriving here now, making Thailand cities very dangerous. The worst thing about Thailand is some of the foreigners.

When I first met my gf, she was recently divorced from a Thai guy, She didn't speak any English, we messaged each other to communicate (google translate) Once we were acquainted, not long after meeting her, she slept over my room. When we were chatting, I messaged her, saying can we have sex tonight. This was so strange for her, her past boyfriends, all Thai's would never ask for sexual consent, they would demand sex. After I messaged her she replied saying I was cute. Omfg, I was cute for asking permission. This made me angry, asking permission is drummed into Aussie guys and it's something we must do before intercourse. I'm so sorry for these poor, beautiful, Thai young women. 😡

When I met her she was so poor, no uniform, dancing naked on the Gogo floor. So sad.

Mine is a skilled worker. She was studying to be a doctor, Phd but I asked her to stop, spending too much time away from home, too many hours at university. 🧑‍🎓 Now she just does nursing duties.

There were landlines, bit pricey though Yes, back in the 90's, I'd use the red phone box at the end of soi Diana. Pay the woman who sat outside. Lots of landlines for making international phone calls.

Soi 6 has him now.

Hey Dazz, spend up big mate, your kid doesn't deserve the inheritance.

Christ, what's going on in the world? Back in the day, I remember travelling for months at a time without contacting family members. I reckon you'll find him shacked up with some chick down soi 6.

Where did I say that? I'm saying Thai boys/men are never taught SEXUAL CONSENT.

Sadly respect and consent are not taught in Thai schools. It needs to change. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-02-29/australian-schools-on-how-they-teach-kids-consent/11969964

I'm on my way. I'm going to get some of my money back that the cops took from me on the side of the road.

Yes I do. Syphilis. Nothing better than being inside the woman you love. If you are having sex with women from Coconut Bar etc, yes syphilis is likely. Avoid these types.

These figures are for Thai pregnant women. Very few of us here are having a fling with pregnant women.

You don't know what you are missing out on.

I can't decide.... It's either religion or politics.

It looks an old Thai unchipped card.

Agree, the animal needs to die. Give me a loaded gun, I will blow the bastards head off.

I've heard it all now

There were lots of trees years ago, they widened beach road, the trees had to go. Also we lost a lot of the footpath with the widening.
