I saw just this weekend people getting on the train for work at rush hour there. They were trying to force their way on compartments that were already full. Two railroad helpers actually were pushing the people on to get the door closed.Not a place I would ever stay.

A big group originates in Issan, and most going to Pattaya are looking for the horizontal (vertical also). employment. Some go there invited by friends and work legitimate jobs, or want to meet a tourist for a possible future arrangement.

Ohhh. Assumptions, assumptions............

They're in remote towns, so whoever buys will have to want to settle down there.

I want to visit Italy, but I'll be moving back to the US. If you could buy a few and sell them it would be worth it, but I think they want you to live there so that's out.

I saw a show on that also. They want people living in them, which means more local economy money. Better that than empty.

Land no, homes you can. Even if it's in your wife's name, it's yours also, and you can live there indefinitely. You move, leaving Thailand, it's hers. You sell it, you split the profit.

Releasing fish into what could be an overcrowded pond could lead to the fish not having enough food to eat, which would kill many of them. Unless they are prepared to feed them daily, better to release the fish into lakes that have been netted out by locals, because conservation isn't practiced here besides in the provincial parks. If they want to show compassion towards living things, conservation is the way. Put and take, allowing a fish population to breed and taking out a few now and then, not netting out the whole lake so there's nothing left. And allowing dogs to breed haphazardly countrywide without neutering or spaying their own animals makes a lot of dogs wandering around, making babies and killed daily on the roads. Fishing should be allowed anyway, catch and release, or if the ponds overcrowded, allowing a few taken to eat, feeding the monks, although this wouldn't happen because of the idea of showing compassion towards living things, which many here don't do anyway.

Equal amounts of tea in each glass? Both glasses clean? Was one in the fridge longer? Don't pour ice into hot tea immediately. Wait for it to cool first.

Yes, and those who are lucky in their choices don't understand the other side, where the partner takes advantage of you, abuses you, cheats, wastes finances, doesn't care for the children but only uses them as manipulation, is only with you for the money and doesn't care about anything else, doesn't want to spend quality time because her phone means more, has depression , is a narcissist that gives you the silent treatment because she doesn't know how to communicate, and many more things that a lot of men go through because they fell in love with a pretty face and didn't take enough time to get to know her. Happens to most men at least once, and is the leading cause of divorce and children not having stability. If you have a good partner, which I will have someday, count your blessings because most women will never know the love of a good man, and most men aren't what you would call a good catch. Of course I'm only talking about what is considered a normal relationship, with a women who isn't involved in the sex industry, and that you have to pay to keep around. Those men can't make comments on what encompasses a normal relationship because what they have is a transaction relationship, and they don't understand the sacrifices a man has to make to find, and keep, a good woman, and raise his children by being a father who's there. More than half of marriages end in divorce, and 25% or more are in relationships they aren't satisfied with, or are unhappy, and only stay because of the children or finances. The breakdown of the family is the breakdown of society, so again, be glad you are in a stable relationship with a woman you can trust, as most men, and women aren't. If you are a good man, eventually true love comes your way, because you stay in that character, and eventually attraction will find you a permanent partner, one you can trust. The only way it doesn't is if you give up hope, and stay single out of fear or hatred. This I won't do.

You left the tea in the refrigerator overnight with the leaves in. Just as red wine gets darker with the skins left in the vat longer, tea does the same thing. Rose wine has little contact with the skins, hence the lighter color.

Guess you don't understand how attraction works. It isn't a choice and just happens. Sometimes people are attracted to evil, and sometimes they aren't. When you go into a relationship, you must trust the other person, because if you don't, it hurts the relationship right off.. Problem is, many aren't trustworthy, and if you understand what a covert narcissist is, you would know how they use their charms, lies and body to pull you in, until they get you where they want you and then tear you down. This comes from an unbalanced, abusive or neglected childhood. They lovebomb you because it works. They tear you down because they grew up thinking the world sucks, and no one can be trusted. They target good people, because they know these are the givers, and those who readily trust others. A narcissist rarely ends up with another narc, but if they do, it's a warzone.

Most? How many do you know that are unstable? My ex here is definitely very unstable, uncaring and a covert narcissist, hits on no provocation, cheats, now has 4 boyfriends, one foreigner in Germany she's visiting now, and 2 Thai men here who have hit her, are drunks and threatened her family. There are many local women here who are greedy, mentally ill, and suffer from depression, as my ex also did. Makes for uncomfortable bedfellows, and can be dangerous. If you don't live with someone 24/7, you have no idea what's going on in their homes. People you see smiling and looking normal can be a serial killer, rapist, wife and kid beater or whatever.

I don't have any dogs as someone in our village keeps poisoning them, along with other's dogs. A few come to my house daily and help to keep the snakes away a little, but I still see them once in awhile. I'm not a snake killer but I wouldn't let a poisonous one go if I could identify it, as I feel if I let it go it might bite my daughter or some other child someday. Thailand has many poisonous snakes and it's another reason I want to move back home. In Texas there are 4 poisonous snakes and you don't see them much besides the occasional rattlesnake, which usually doesn't kill but can cause some damage. Thailand had many snakes that bite and if you don't get to the hospital very soon, you'll die.

I see almost daily those trucks used to transport children to and from school. Filled inside to capacity and up to 12 or more on top of the truck. Do this in the US and you won't do it again. Here it means nothing. Risking the lives of those children riding on the top is off the scale. Someone cuts them off and the driver has to swerve, all the kids on top go flying from 10 feet high, at whatever speed he's going, and maybe are either crippled or killed. This is yet another reason I will take my daughter out of here before she's into that school level.

Stay at the laundromat so no one will pilfer your clothes. I have a Panasonic over 6 years old, still working okay.

Bird dog, hot dog, hound dog, dogma, wiener dog, chili dog, dog meat, Chicago dog, hang dog, coy dog, wild dog, bull dog, watch dog, sheep dog, water dog, under dog, soi dog, prairie dog. Take your pick.

It's easy. Women are partners and not slaves. 50/50 means just that. A normal woman appreciates everything a man does, if he does them. If you cleaned the kitchen, she wouldn't have to show you she cleaned it. If you picked up "your" clothes from the floor, which is a place they don't belong, she wouldn't have to complain.

If you knew me, weak is the last thing you would think about me. Remember, I don't pay for women. I attract some that aren't stable, like most of us do. A weak man is one that lets his woman do everything and expects sex. That's also called a narcissist, and they are the reason society has been falling down for generations. Men who actually think they are men, while rarely if ever helping out their partner are the epitome of weak. I can protect my woman against anyone on earth unless they shoot me dead at the spot. If anyone hurts anyone in my family, they will never walk again. Not exactly a weak person like some "men" I've seen all my life.

You can't change your character much at all after age 30. If you're a user, you'll probably remain one. If you're a decent person, that will be you until you pass. None of my strategies have failed. I'm not with women that weren't right for me, and I always got my children to raise, instead of leaving them with an unstable person who didn't care much for them. If you pick the right partner, your strategy will not only be appreciated, but she will stay with you for you, and not your money.

Made me a better man for the next one, hopefully a better choice. All of the women I've been with appreciated all I did. They just weren't honest, faithful or mentally stable.

Are you helping her around the house? Cooking some meals, doing the wash , not leaving your clothes on the floor for her to pick up, taking her out to eat, letting her watch some of her shows on TV, etc etc?

What exactly is a soi dog farang? And if you pay 100% for a house, you own it. And most of the girls married in Isaan aren't bar girls A percentage yes, but I wouldn't say many. How many foreigners have you seen buying houses in Japan? Do you live there, because from your posts it seems you're here?

I bet you haven't seen a rat, mouse, lizard,small snakes, gecko, or any large bugs for quite awhile.

I prefer to drive and buy more things while I'm at that city.
