Don't do it? put it in your name?  if not let a Thai buy from a Thai - the farang quota is worth up to 30% more on the price. Why would a Thai buy from a farang - wierd.

Just get a smart watch?  My Mii watch counts steps for years - it's not that difficult to figure it out (maybe for you it is).  

A really REALLY stupid and cruel decision.  Why???   Just reveals the nastiness of this government.  Buddhist?   loooor

Bar girl is at least honest with herself. And so many of them that go home and tell the stories. Now hair dressers, school teachers, you name it will sleep with ya for 3K/night. hahaha.. Prostitution in Thailand regulated. Please.

I have slept with loads of ordinary girls/woman who just need a little support for 2000 (where did this 300 come from?). It's an exchange - if you are polite, clean and nice what's the PROBLEM?  if you don't like it don't do it.

I don't think they are "obscene sexual acts " but agree public is not the place for normal sexual activity between consenting adults.

It's just the common problem of over breeding.  Bangkok believe it or not was liveable 40 years ago.  Same with Chang Mai.  Pattaya ruined, Koh Samui, Phuket, the list goes on.  Sad

You left then?

Time to top up the payment? 

Thais rarely look both ways and I'm sorry to say that he paid the ultimate price for his stupidity.

Intermittent fasting has not hit them yet.

Absolutely.  Methinks this non-native speaker is confusing 2 English words with completely different meanings.  It's like saying 'alive' (ie not dead) is similar to 'live' (ie not hatched from an egg).

 

But as Xylophone comments. it seems true that some men are completely unable to function on their own, in that they have never learnt daily skills such as cooking ,sewing on a button etc.  Others crave for social company, perhaps because of lack of their own self-confidence or esteem.

 

Right now, and for the past month, I have been living in a tiny and very basic hotel room in Blackpool, about 3.5m x 2.5m with a tiny attached loo and shower, while I go through the diagnosis and treatment for suspected prostate cancer.  There is no-one else staying at this guesthouse (who wants to visit Blackpool in February).

 

Am I lonely?  Is my mental health suffering? No!!  It's certainly not a place that I would choose to stay for a prolonged period, but it is a new experience and I'm very used to and very happy being on my own.  Although I have to comment that after 21 years living outside of the UK, there are some typical British activities that are somewhat foreign to me ????

 

Being lonely and being alone are worlds apart.

Exactly!  and very best wishes 

How about some compassion on this forum just for once?

WHY do we get only 20% of the USA content?  How about that as a FIRST issue?

Data? sources? links?  that kind of thing?  and no one falls of balconies here of course. So uninformed - been to Moscow much have you? (yes I have and worked there).

Interested to know if Thai men have the same issue. Maybe it's not a racial thing.

I understood it was quite normal for Thai men to hand over their pay packet to the wife who manages the home economy. After that it becomes habit I think and almost a courtesy to the wife. 

Maybe I'm lazy but i pay a company to ensure it is NEVER cloudy. Pump is on about 4 hours a day. 10x4 pool

Thanks, funny enough mine is a Barclays pension (I believe yours is HSBC) & my GF is 20.5 years my junior so I'm guessing it will be the same & she will also lose 10% of the money.

 

BUT even then it is enough for her to live a comfortable life so, as you say, probably the best provision we can make them.

 

I enquired about a significant others pension in the NHS scheme (GF) but my forms were rejected.
