"old" kind of a relative term really. anybody reaching the age of 35 in your god forsaken country would be considered old. But keep trying, with a bit of practice you might not sound so infantile, as long as we stick to the medium of the written word of course.

"Filthy"?? sounds to me like you have some deep rooted sexual hang ups You are here just like everybody else and you came for the same reason, you just cannot bear to admit it to yourself.

Its even more entertaining observing those trying to convince themselves and others that they are in some way better than everybody else

I would say there is very little on this earth anywhere near as pathetic as somebody attempting to appear better than everybody else. How on earth do you know how much time anybody spends in bars ? And what makes their choice of how they spend their time any less valid than yours? It really is none of your business And I didn't say it was their only choice, I leave such generalisations to people like you.

Says the sweaty sock trying to big himself up

As sad as festering in a piss stinking nursing home ? Or a sad as freezing to death in a damp and mold ridden bed sit having to decide whether to eat or heat ? You really haven't a clue have you

Absolutely, especially when compared to the traditional retirement that lies in store for them in places like the UK. Its actually a no brainer

20K !!! are you serious ? Sounds like you were taken to the cleaners

Most foreigners know how to drive well in the comparative safety and controlled over regulated environment of their home countries. The majority of them however are like fish out of water as they try to adapt to driving here. There is a very strong argument, in my opinion, for not allowing short term tourists anywhere near a car or a motorcycle here,

Not that surprising considering that in over 30 years here I could probably count on one hand the number of times I have heard a Thai use the Thai word for "toilet" Without exception they will use the words "hong nam" which does not mean "toilet"

Hi-Lo presumably

Don't you believe it , as far as some are concerned, everything is to do with racism, you are just obviously not "woke" enough to see the connection. But then again neither am I. There is good reason why India is known as the rape capital of the world, To me that suggests a basic cultural issue and a flaw in the character of their males

Well as I live in Surin it did not happen that far away did it ?? I repeat no respectable married woman , accompanied by her husband would normally pose for a photograph with a group of drunken male indian tourists and if they did happen to "forget themselves" most Thai husbands would have something to say about it. Which funnily enough is exactly what happened is it not? What you describe as "good natured" might be considered an acceptable character trait for pattaya bargirls but I can assure you the vast majority of Thais are a lot more conservative. Especially Thai husbands regarding their wives interactions with drunken Indian tourists or anybody else for that matter 43k posts !! Ever thought about going out and experiencing the real world for a change

He's far worse than that , he is nasty brown tonged sycophant who will have spent his entire life creeping and fawning his way up the political ladder. He would happily throw his grandmother under a bus if he thought it would further his career, Just look at him not a single grey hair , just like the rest of his ilk, Who could ever get tired of punching that smug arrogant face?

That is your personal view but you cannot speak on behalf of others. Personally I find it astonishing that anybody would claim to drink any alcoholic beverage for the "taste" Who are they trying to kid?

many are infected with the "reefer madness" propaganda which originates from the early part of the last century. There really is no other logical reason for strong anti cannabis sentiment, which is based on ignorance and fear

Where I come from married women do not pose for photographs with groups of indian tourists. In fact married women accompanied by their husbands would not generally pose for photos with any strangers

is that "globally" or just in Phuket?

or a multitude of other possibilities

Sounds good on paper,,, so does the NACC

I would tend to agree. Another point worth mentioning is the much talked about placebo effect. I remain open minded about it, bu if so many tests confirm it can work , why is it not the default goto first option for doctors dealing with non critical minor issues ?> maybe ask big pharma eh?

Unless one is a "trans" in which case its all fine ( and you are a transphobe)

I doubt many getting their shots in Pattaya are "athletes" even after the injection

I recently stumbled across a policy that would exclude "undiagnosed" pre existing conditions, and another which would not cover anybody who had not been "permanently resident in their home country for the previous 6 months" Personally a few years ago I was hospitalised with kidney stones, I gave the girl in the hospital the insurance paper which had a 24 hr emergency hotline telephone number She called 5 times a day for 3 days, nobody even answered the phone ! Lucky I had my credit card

In fairness he did specify an ombudsman "like we have in europe" Do you really think they are similar in any way other than name.?
