  1. Good for you. Fortunately I've never had a hospital stay in Thailand. My grandkids have and I pay extra for a private room. But for the average Thai it's a bed in a multi ward with a carer under the bed.
  2. In my experience in public wards in hospitals they not only stay , but sleep on the floor under the bed. Buy food too if available.
  3. I asked a simple question. Why so much aggression?
  4. You got that right!.
  5. Not that interested to tell you the truth. Asked my Mrs who is Thai and she had no idea either. But thanks for the pointer. Don't think I'll bother educating myself about some obscure Thai non entities.
  6. Ah ok, thank you. I have no idea who he was. Seems he might speak Thai too much.
  7. Seems Lewie and his stories have lost his attraction to the AN membership.
  8. I spent a few sessions with a girl from a bar in soi Nana a few years ago. 40 years old and not bad looking. . She told me she wanted 40 K a month as well as a HIV test to do anything serious. I gracefully declined. Went back to the bar a couple of weeks later, there she was with an older farang, you know the picture, bald not in the best of shape, she had her two daughters with her and all good. Saw her wedding photos on line. Good for her and my best wishes, she was a lovely lady from Khon Kaen.
  9. I did and still don't know their apparent claim to fame. Who are they? Ben Smith? What am I missing. Educate me.
  10. For the sake of 10,000 baht, jump on a plane and go to Chonburi/Pattaya, book into a cheap hotel for a couple of nights and put the feelers out. Alternatively login to Thai Friendly'or Thai Cupid or Badoo and have a look around. Stop stressing and go, you might find a diamond in the rough just cruising around.
  11. All very interesting, but who on earth are these two?
  12. Bar girls have had four or more ' husbands' for decades. They probably don't know each other though.
  13. Oh dear. She forgot to fill her bike up?
  14. Not would still be. They are. In Australia that is. My eleven year old grandson put his year of birth as 1999 when he signed up a couple of years ago and continues to watch YouTube as normal.
  15. Apparently YouTube have ' channels' that are for kids as a separate app to the main YouTube app. YouTube https://www.youtube.com YouTube Kids - An App Created for Kids to Explore Content
  16. Looks like a 3 star hotel room. Bottle of water and tv remote on beside table is typical.
  17. The YouTube Kids app is not included in the ban.
  18. Bring the Filipina virgin over. That should be good for another hundred pages.
  19. Not hot where I am. Bit windy and a lot of rain. Cyclone just passed nearby.
  20. Maybe the root cause, over the centuries, is their belief that they are the chosen ones, and other people simply became sick and tired of that attitude.
  21. Does an electric bike still count as cycling?
  22. Seen (and done) a lot of drinking and whoring, not so much fighting. Drug abuse, possibly, but I don't recall having to watch where I am walking to make sure I don't step on discarded needles. All of the above isn't exclusive to Pattaya by any means. Can be, and is, found in most big cities anywhere.
  23. Hate to the be the bearer of bad news. I drive all over Isaan, including Sisaket, Surin, Buriram, Ubon, Khon Kaen for some example. I use my phone to Bluetooth Australian radio from their internet sites to my car's entertainment system as all the local radio stations are Thai, unlike in Bangkok and Pataya where there are some English content stations. Never had a problem with the mobile network. Continuous coverage everywhere. Network or internet dropping out simply doesn't happen or is so rare I have never noticed it.
  24. So predictable it is boring.
