  1. I'm in Sisaket, and I've seen for over 6 years here, along with Ubon province, women as good looking as anywhere else in Thailand.Many without makeup and lighter skinned. My ex was the prettiest woman in our area, light skin, looking like a blend of Thai and something else. Been to Bangkok many times, A few islands, other provinces, and have seen women posted from all over, including some back in Texas. Isaan has some beauties, but they know it, and the ones that don't feel the need to sell their wares, meaning the intelligent ones with no damage, aren't easy to fool. Money will of course attract some, but if they are independent, they will prefer their own most of the time.
  2. Isaan is a group of provinces, and a foreigner cannot own land anywhere in Thailand outright.
  3. Like I said, there are times when a period may last longer than 2 weeks, but that's up to a professional to decide, and many doctors are quick to prescribe without thinking, or caring, of the after affects. Your body can get used to taking them, and after awhile, they either may not work, or the side effects can be dangerous. I'm not a real believer in doctors prescribing habits, although they are necessary much of the time.

    Yes, read it again. Water FILTERS utilizing UV ray technology, which can remove dirt, bacteria, viruses. Again, the FILTER removes the dirt, among other things, the UV removes other things. Not hard to understand everything designed into the filter removes everything, or mostly everything. I used them in my house before. Water was very clean of all contaminants.
  5. Antibiotics should only be taken for at most two weeks. Taking them longer leads to bacteria become resistant to antibiotics. They also cause stomach problems. Only rarely will a doctor prescribe them for an infection lasting longer.

    It states that water filters utilizing UV ray technology, will remove dirt, bacteria, viruses and chemicals, meaning the filter itself removes some, while UV helps with others.The UV doesn't remove sediment, the filter does. And boiling does not remove everything, just the bacteria, viruses and parasites.
  7. Been weight training over 50 years, following a very healthy diet, including fish, chicken, beef, vegetables, whole grains, fruits, salads, low fat, no dairy besides occasional yogurt, coffee, tea, water, no sugar drinks, no extra sugar, and supplements. Never been overweight. When I hit 50 or so, it started, just as it does for everyone, and some days it's hard to get flow started, and go usually 2 times a night, although sometimes more than 4. Just happens, and I will be looking into taking something soon, as it's a pain in the arse that we all must face.
  8. Playing loud music in public, meaning overly loud, is rude, yet it happens every morning in about every village in Thailand. I understand most farmers do wake early, but a lot of older people don't, including farangs, yet it continues. Some like to sleep late, but it isn't possible because of this. I wake early, so it doesn't affect me anyway, but I understand that it does bother many here. What some consider corny rock music might be good music that some might not understand, because they like pop or other styles. I don't know what music was played, so I can't assume. Thai music, although some is okay, especially traditional, isn't that good, with the words not matching the music because of the way they copy western pop music and the fact it doesn't flow right with their language. People who understand music will understand this. This is blasted all over Thailand and no one cares. Some people work nights and need to sleep during the day, and I've seen this everywhere I've gone. This isn't allowed in the US, with areas set aside away from homes for concerts, and playing past a certain time, or too loud near homes, will get you warned, then fined if it continues. In any event, people should respect others around them, even if it doesn't happen here.
  9. Not sure what that is, not being sarcasm.... Dictionary Definitions from Oxford Languages · Learn more at·ten·tion whore noun derogatory•US noun: attention whore; plural noun: attention whores a person who behaves in a provocative, outrageous, or reprehensible manner in order to attract attention.
  10. Actually the food is never a problem. My girlfriend is a great cook and the food I get at restaurants is fine. I ate Thai for years before I moved here, and it was in restaurants in the San Antonio area which are all good. Their cooks were mostly from Thailand. It's the boredom and all the other crapola that goes on here that's not for me, nor for my daughter.
  11. If I was to stay here, I would install those. Power back home rarely went out more than three times a year, and never daily for a few seconds. They have competent workers in the US, better equipment and maintenance. Here, just one look at the poles with all the wires shows what kind of thinking goes on, and the price a few pay every year from electrocution. Reminded me of a post I read recently................https://bk.asia-city.com/city-living/news/31-ways-to-die-bangkok
  12. Going back is only a mistake if you let it be one. I'll be returning as soon as I can, getting a rent to own and working part time with a relative I worked with before. I can hunt again, fish wherever I want, and see my daughter has a much better schooling than she would get here, and not suffer the prejudice a half Thai gets. There's very little for me here, it's been as boring as it can be, more than any period of my life. The few foreigners that live anywhere close are usually into going to bars, which isn't my thing, so it's only once in awhile we get to talk at their homes, which is nice. I have to endure a daily power outage for a few seconds, which is totally unnecessary and shuts off my computer, where I have to reload everything. The power goes off weekly for hours, mainly because of a lack of maintenance and bad equipment. Wifi is fair at best, being a few hundred meters too far for a box, so I have to rely on a hotspot. Neighbors are no closer than 200 meters, ex wife's cousins, who are nice but can speak little English, so it's just a few words now and then. I have a lake 50 meters from my house that's devoid of fish because of an un regulated country. Everything's allowed to be netted out. Watching dvd's helps pass the time, and I can spend time with my girlfriend on weekends, so that's okay also. If I could leave today we would. Re locating means shipping everything I own back to a house I'm secured in, getting my daughter enrolled in school there young enough so she can learn everything in English and won't be behind. It will be worth it as this has never been home to me. I will have Medicare. My daughter will be treated as an equal there, and not an outsider, and we will have family and friends very close by. I understand some like it here because they don't have outdoor hobbies and are okay with the bar scene, and, or are okay with staying home, hopefully, with a decent wife or girlfriend. There are some nice places to visit here, and other Asian countries I will visit before I move back, so that's how I will pass some of the time while still here. One thing I can say about living where I am is that it's quiet, although the dogs, besides one now, that have called my house a home have been poisoned by some disturbed farmer, and I don't like living around sick anti social people who think nothing of killing domestic animals because they weren't raised by normal parents who valued life.
  13. Besides using plastic, the best way is to avoid the sun, use lotions, exercise, sleep, reduce stress (hard to do here) and most important eat healthy always. Genetics is most of it, as there are people who do everything wrong and live to 100, and some that do everything right and don't make 50.
  14. What I posted is just common sense everyone should go by to avoid being a victim. I fear nothing but worrying about my family. I'm a hunter, was a gun salesman, and have been around guns all my life. It's just sensible to avoid getting into a situation with someone who has a gun. Better to walk away unless you or yours are being threatened. If that happens, you end it any way you have to. Discretion is the better part of valor. I know what I would do if I was confronted, but hopefully it never comes to that before I move from here. The roads here are as deadly as anywhere I've driven, and avoiding an accident is almost a weekly thing.
  15. Men only age well if they take care of themselves all their lives. Same with women. I've seen some women in their 60's that look 40, and some 40 that look 60. Too much sun, like many here get, takes away their youth .
  16. That's what that thinking does to a man. He can't look at one woman as number one and only. He died missing her I'm sure. I would always hear him say her name, knowing full well she was number one to him. Just couldn't settle down because of his ego, that which ruined him.
  17. How would you ascertain that I'm unlovable? That was never a problem. They knew how to love, cook, clean and have sex. What they didn't know was how to let go of baggage acquired in their childhoods. Narcissism isn't curable, and it has you waste many years with a person who hates themselves too much to really love you. Failure only happens when you give up. That I'll never do.
  18. You don't only learn from time spent, but from desire. If you read my posts, they always make sense, in regards to how to treat a woman. Attraction to the wrong ones hurt me, as it does millions of others, and I've never paid for a companion. I won't end up alone, as there are many women who are looking for a man that understands them, and will listen. And the older you get, the more that's what you want, because independence comes easy, but love doesn't, and I want to be loved for who I am, and not what my wallet has. That's why I'm not worried. Money can't buy knowledge, patience, love, understanding or health. It can buy sex, but that isn't what I'm after. I never claimed to be an expert. I just know a lot about women. And the more you fail, the more you learn, and in the end, the better chance you have for the right one to find you. For the right reasons. Money won't keep a good woman, but love will. If you're always looking for a firm, hot body in your bed, you will have to pay one way or another. Cash buys non emotional sex. Taking care of yourself and treating a woman right brings the same. Sometimes it takes longer than you'd expect.
  19. Or Smith, Wesson, and Her https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=clint+eastwood+diner+scene#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:bba351d9,vid:qoXDzsuqXFg,st:0
  20. Actually no, because he passed away years back, and was never happy with any girl besides Dawn. His lifestyle killed him too young.
  21. I did make mistakes, only because I picked the wrong women to marry. I'm not concerned about numbers, even if I was with quite a few. I like a relationship, and as a man gets older, the most important thing he can have is a good companion. Men don't age well alone. I never gave all my stuff to anyone with this last exception of building a house for her and our daughter, then having her screw me over. I'm still in the house, although when we move back home, it will be hers. Thing is, she will never win, besides getting the house, which isn't everything,and I treated her better than anyone ever did (she still wants to come back because of this), and her being 43 and aging, has almost no prospects here, as locals don't want women over 40 who had kids, besides to use or be a farm wife.
  22. Listen to your words. Really listen. You do understand your attractiveness is fading as we speak. I looked like Rambo from age 20 to 50, then lost a little because I hurt my joints lifting too much weight. I still look okay for 67 but have been humbled along the way. I was married 3 times, for a total of 20 years,and with 2 for another 4. Always was looking for a girlfriend and not to just "pass them along", and was with many women, but hardly countless, which is a lie anyway. Yet for one reason or another, mostly different future plans, mental illnesses, cheating, lying or others, they didn't last the distance. I'm still optimistic because I've learned how to treat a woman since my first marriage, and wasn't bad before that, just not a good listener. Many men brag about having hundreds of women, when in reality they probably didn't have more than 50 or so. Unless they were paying, and only looked at women to use, most people like a relationship, and those last awhile. I had a friend, average looking, but a good bull<deleted>ter, who had a new girl every week or so. He really cared for one girl, named Dawn (never forget). He always regretted treating her just like all the rest, because that's what he became over those years. Women were objects, and the one he loved knew it, so she left. If you don't need to stay with them till death do us part, pay for them, because a good women doesn't deserve to be used. If you use a good woman, they get bitter, and eventually don't trust anyone, and their relationships are always the same. All because they trusted the wrong men.
  23. You do understand that bragging about "accomplishments" with naive girls, who are desperate for any way out of poverty, doesn't look impressive to anyone. Neither is paying for them, though not saying you have. If you really want a nice girl, your thinking has to drastically change, because this kind makes it look like they are only objects for your own pleasure. A good woman is not one you want to use, nor take for granted, as they only come by once or twice in a lifetime. No one can pick a girlfriend for you, something you should already know. Attraction isn't a choice, but it does get a man into trouble. If you have 10 good looking girls, you're lucky, IF you are a good man that actually deserves one, that one will match what matches you. Beauty fades, but character doesn't. IF you are genuinely looking for love, you need to change what you think is right for you, and make yourself right for them, then the right one will find you. Sites work, but many are scammers, greedy, have kids, a past, or are mentally ill. Best to put yourself in a situation you like, and women will be there. Cafes, coffee shops, department stores, noodle shops, anything but bars will have women, and if you can communicate with them, that's your start.
  24. Just common sense . It doesn't take much for a spineless coward to pull a trigger. It happens everywhere. Protecting yourself or family is a given, using whatever force is needed. If it's going to be you or them , it will be them, period. Still have to be wise. No matter how much you know or how strong you might be, a bullet can take anyone down. It's best to diffuse situations and make friends. It isn't being scared but smart. I wouldn't hesitate to put someone down with whatever I can get my hands on if they are threatening my child, but if they have a gun, you need to back down and try to reason with them first. Revenge can be taken months later, and a coward will do whatever they can to get even, usually when you least expect it. I'm a hunter, and sold guns, and used them a thousand times, but no one's bulletproof. It's not a fear but preservation.
  25. Some women don't get them, especially with small babies like those born here. Not noticing a penis is a different matter altogether.
