Prejudice shown is one huge way to lose tourism. Fines should be the same, and enforced, for locals. When you take someone's money, especially if they aren't well off, it teaches them a lesson, and curtails bad behavior. This is one reason so many die daily here. Lack of enforcement of rules already on the book.

I'm thinking you need a box of baking soda

A normal blood pressure is 120/80. A tad high or lower isn't a problem . Maybe change doctors? One who does a thorough examination and evaluates you periodically, not lazy and an over prescriber like many are. There's a reason for blood pressure checks, and they aren't rubbish. although many doctors surely are, as they kill more people than many other problems. And a doctor that laughs when you tell him you have a headache and says it's genetics? Migraines are partly caused by genetics but headaches can come from many sources, and ongoing shouldn't be laughed at. These are your words......... ...................."The only thing I wasn't happy with was last week when I had a headache I told him I think it was a brain aneurysm and he sort of laughed and said that is caused by genetics and I don't have that and then refused me a brain scan saying I don't need it"......... It's caused by genetics and you don't have that?? You don't have genetics? And why assume he's taking too much salt or eating miso soup? Assuming is what a lot do here, and it never works.

I'm guessing you don't live in the country nor spent much time here. Everything here is free range besides the few who have fenced in small yards.

There isn't anything you can do because dogs will always be around. When a puppy turns into a dog here, it's cuteness goes away and they are looked at as pests. Some take care of their animals and should be commended, but it's few and far between. I've had a few dogs and more that looked at my house as home, but most of them have been poisoned by these farmers because they don't like them running through their fields. Like everything else that involves being neighborly, no one really cares. I have had cats, , chickens and ducks killed by dogs that are nice to people because they weren't taught as puppies to be friendly to other animals, like some obviously are as you can see on some properties. It's impossible to watch your animals all the time, so it's going to happen that they are victims. If you had a gun you could shoot the dogs, which isn't something dog lovers like myself would do, but more would eventually come back, as roaming dogs is a countrywide problem. The lack of caring and funding here, which does spay and neuter many, can't catch up to the amount of births happening.

No one has ever turned gay because of a lack of an erection. Gays still need a woodie if you would think for a second. If anyone is picking up anyone they have a reason or need.

I do know what I'm talking about,as my advice was sound. I didn't say you didn't cherish her. I said to just appreciate her and don't take her for granted, as many do after some years pass. People stay married for 40 years unhappy, so it's not about time. It's about quality time.

Never any idols. Just liked a few I saw on TV. Marilu Henner was one, along with Raquel Welch, Barbara Eden, Sophia Loren, and a few more women. For men, actors I liked were Gregory Peck (To Kill a Mockingbird), Steve McQueen (In Papillon, The Great Escape), Sidney Poitier (To Sir With Love, The Defiant Ones, In The Heat Of The Night), Kirk Douglas (Spartacus, The Vikings), Charleton Heston (Ben Hur, The Ten Commandments).

In all my 67 years I have seen this happen many times, both here and back in the US. In the US though, almost all of the time they will find a tree to hide behind, on the back side of their car, behind a building etc, so that no one, especially children will see them. Here, I've seen it hundreds of times, literally, and they go on the side of the road, just facing the opposite direction from the road, not bothering to hide. My ex's mom, who was on a scooter with me going to their farm, asked me to stop. She walked off the road a few meters, stopped, squatted and crapped. People passed by and she didn't care in the least. She also would walk by out from the shower, when I stayed there before the house was built, topless (she's 67), and not care either, but laugh when she saw me standing there. The morality here fades in comparison to back home. It is what it is.

No way to tell without an honest poll. I would say most marry girls that aren't hookers but most do marry women who have had children with Thais before. This is one main reason they choose foreigners. More likely to stick around after a child is born, and a lot more likely to support another man's children.

I would do anything you can to let that woman know she is cherished, loved and honored. I would not go to Pattaya because everyone here knows what that's about, and take her with you anywhere you go. Also, answer that phone. It shows respect. A keeper isn't to be taken for granted. Ever.

The only reason I'm living in Thailand is because I have to get re-established back in the states with my daughter and that takes time. My wife always came first until she proved unworthy,and my kids always came first when I was alone until they can take care of themselves. I still take care of myself well, because it's the only way you can take care of others.

I was just responding to what he said about foreigner deaths happening hourly here. That anything about foreigners makes news, while most of what happens here you'll never hear about, and it involves thousands of locals. People die in every country all day long but you don't hear about but a tiny fraction of it. In the US a lot of people die daily also, but it isn't newsworthy unless it involves a celebrity, politician or some other well know person. Foreigners here get the news because we are a tiny minority. In America, everyone is a foreigner or has relatives and ancestors that are.

We mostly hear about foreigners because we are indeed foreigners, and news. Most of the crapola that goes on here daily never gets to the news station. They show things on the news here that would never make it on any stations back in the US, but they do show when foreigners do something, the daily road deaths because there are so many, people robbing gold shops leaving their scooters outside so they can follow them home tracking the license plates, snakes in homes, which happens daily all over Thailand, and other things that you would never see back home. People "jump" from buildings here quite a lot, and I'm thinking many of them are pushed, this because it happens so often it's an excuse for suicides or drunken behavior.

I was talking about pure Thai women. Other Asians of course have whiter skin.

And some make mistakes in picking partners because of attraction. And these weren't women I bought, although I did pay more in other ways. Sometimes it takes a lot of weeding before you find the right flower.

There are pretty women here with white skin but I had much of that with western women and always liked tanned skin. Here it's natural, along with no body hair besides on the head.

White skin isn't a turn on for most farangs, preferring the nice brown tan look. Fake white makes Thais look Japanese and not normal. And I'm pretty sure many of us here aren't losers stuck with an M.

1. Speaks very little English, communication being a major deal breaker, and this was one 2. Village school, of course we know the results 3. One job after another, having depression this causes a lot to do this 4. 2 girls from two Thai men, both left, she subsequently gave the first one away at age 9, second age 10, got her back, now lives with first daughter. 5. Has never worked in a bar. 6. Likes to have a laugh 7. I paid for everything 8. Family aren't on the take, but expected some because I'm a farang. 9. Wielded a knife 3 times at me. 10. Loves to travel. ***(Bonus Points - Said she would cut it off if I cheated /was a good cook)*** Was the worst of all three wives I've had, although all shared the same "qualities", so I can't say much about Thai women being the best wives. Current girlfriend has been good for almost 4 years

Trafficking will be curtailed if the offenders are given a long prison sentence, especially for underage girls and boys. Those who bought the children the same. Many of them know they are going after children. Any officials involved, the same. First offense involving children, 30 years, no parole. Might make them think if there's a mandatory long sentence for all involved.

Because it's newsworthy being foreigners. Almost 1700 locals die every day here.

By the time she's done, she'll need to start again.. Good job though. I have about a rai of lawn so I bought one of the few lawnmowers in Thailand

I'm pretty sure there are quite a few Iranians who only want to live in peace and not get involved in warfare.
