  1. I used to walk all over the place when I was in Thailand. Dogs never tried to bite me. I have been very close to them. They would come near me and start barking. I just ignore them and keep walking or slow down. Try to run would be a stupid idea. I would never make any stupid gesture like trying to throw a rock or stick at them. Eventually they will stop barking and walk away.

    Seriously 3 million baht? This is no way to treat people who own condos. I wish sometimes we could do this <deleted> to the Thais that live in our countries. Maybe they would learn something in the process.

    They keep a low profile in the USA. Lots Thai restaurants and some massage business in my area. I have never been to any Thai massage parlor or spa. I have no idea what goes on there. I usually confuse them with Central Americans or even Mexicans . But there are always some rich half Thai arrogant  kids to enrich the environment around here. Go to San Francisco it is like being in Bangkok.

    No, they're far worse by implying anyone without the ability to keep $25,000 in a wobbly 3rd world bank must be a worthless loser, that's far more than a year's gross wage to most of the world. 

    $ 25 000. is not enough to pay for my annual rent where I live. And no, I am not rich. I would need a very good reason to invest $ 25 000. in Thailand.

    I have been here for over 10 years now. There is not any noticeable difference in English ability. I would question why we need these "teachers" most of whom are not qualified to teach in their own countries.I have met native English speakers from Kenya, Phillippines, Poland, Germany.....very few teaching qualifications, at best a TEFL.

    How about some plumbers, drug addict hippies, and Joe six pack from English speaking countries? Is Phillippines or Philippines? I am confused. I will never get a job as English teacher in Thailand. My English is no goodie.

    "Chinese are taught to shut up when its not profitable to say anything, vice versa they never lie, just don't tell you anything which they believe could disadvantage their position." 

    Most Asians I think are like that. Some will tell you that they have a problem and need help, usually financial, but they don't ask you directly for money. So some men usually fall for that trap and give them money or buy them stuff. Then if there is a relationship created, and eventually a break up, the Asian can always say that they did not ask for anything but that you, on your own free will, offered to help them.

    6000 road deaths to date this year in Thailand, hundreds of suicides. It puts this farcical global over reaction to this covid nonsense it to perspective.

    Yeah, I guess you just feel the need to talk against common sense. Just think about some clear facts. How many times do you hear or read about suicide cases where they found that the dead person covered up themself? Not saying it is impossible. Just that it´s strange. 

    Maybe it was a little cold that night...

    Does it look like this insect? Your picture is too dark. Hard to compare.

    Thelyphonida is an arachnid order comprising invertebrates commonly known as whip scorpions or vinegaroons (also spelled vinegarroons and vinegarones). The name "whip scorpion" refers to their resemblance to true scorpions and possession of a whiplike tail. "Vinegaroon" is based on their ability when attacked to discharge an offensive liquid which contains acetic acid, producing a vinegar-like smell

    Chinatown "a hawker food heaven" !!  Its a dirty area with lots of scruffy little food places. Far worse than most places.  Definitely not Heaven !

    Maybe you have not been to San Francisco. It reminds what my French friend told that when she was visiting San Francisco. She said that she could not see one white person for miles. It was all Asians and specially Chinese.
