Biden should retire to Pattaya.

4 million arrivals in January. Airports the busiest i've ever seen them since time began. 

 

That would be on course to smash 50 million for the year. 

 

No hand breaks now with all visas fees waves for China and India.

 

 

There seems to be a raft of online content creators who are pushing this 'move to Thailand' nonsense too. Particularly from the UK on TikTok. Flat out lies how anyone can just come to Thailand and work, the supposed cheapness of the country ( it isn't), and how easy it all is (it's not that easy), and how the UK is a dump. Funnily enough none of them are prepared to give up their UK citizenship though. 

 

I found it rather bizarre, until one of the guys on TikTok who pushes this whole narrative (it's cheap, move to Thailand), suddenly appeared at a mall event with officials talking about tourism. When he was asked if he was just promoting Thailand, he denied it. But it does feel slightly unusual and a whiff of adverts posing as 'amateurs'. 

 

Anyways tourism is back in a big way. We had a great few years with relative peace, but that's all over now. 

There's a new term in the village, you should know it, it's "influence for hire".

It's a subliminal weapon, soft power ones, but still a weapon.

Promote Lamyai Haithongkham TAT's President. She knows how to attract tourists in Thailand.

No, just 1/4 of it gone mad.

The rest 3/4 is still quite rational; I mean, at least they know what a man and a woman is.

It is either diversity or it is equality.

Comrade, don't create unnecessary problems for yourself.

You never know what's inside Thai people's brain; many of them often have a behind motive for every action.

I keep a bunch of them under one foot of my desk to keep it balanced. 

The woodworker made my desk with a shorter foot.

The salient question is:

did he at least bang the lady or did he just drink beer till fall asleep?

Just another mysterious fall from the balcony.

teach you maybe. 

When your electric drill has discharged, the woman can take ten more with no problem, while yours is there waiting to recharge for at least an hour.

We have the physical strength.

Women have the sexual stamina.

From this point of view, women destroy us.

If your woman die on the bed after your drill discharged, it means she's either teasing you, has more important things to do, or doesn't have any other drills at her disposal.

The best age is when your sexual life is at peak. Thailand is packed of 20~40 years old unsatisfied and naughty ladies ready to teach you how to do things and be a man.

Passed the peak you need money.

Yep and a lot of that swimming is imported from Asia. CHINAAAAAAA!

Let's do a reality check, okay?

When you end up focusing all your energy, your attention and your actions on defining what woman/man are, or throwing tomato soup on paintings, welcoming immigrants with barely naked dancers, pulling down statues, painting your daily life with multicoloured flags, promoting abuses and killings etc., you end up - among other things - lose control over raw materials (including those to produce drugs).

We shouldn't blame China if our societies are becoming Sodom and Gomorrah and lost the right trajectory.

Yes, and sync your photos to the cloud as an extra backup. There's nothing that damages the soul more than losing your precious media.

Allow me to disagree.

"Precious media" and "cloud" are incompatible words, as long as the cloud is owned by you.

I am a professional photographer.

I have lived from archiving all my career.

If you'll allow me one advice: always keep two identical hard drives, never trust one.

Let's be serious, the thought of settling in Thailand in those who are truly rich does not pass for a second. 

The nexus Quality expat-Thailand is a myth.

If I were rich I would live in Sardinia, Spain, Greece, certainly not Thailand.
