Assuming again.

You might still be able to catch a boat to Devil's Island.

Maybe the posters here can take up a Gofundme for you to have that padded cell.

Separated means still married. Legal aside, if you are with another while you're still married, you're cheating. Best to finish one chapter before starting another, for many reasons. A divorce anywhere, including here, isn't that hard to get, as long s both want out. If he wanted to stay together, that would require a court judgement to divorce, with one of the Thai reasons for granting it. I'm thinking she was already involved with this man for awhile, maybe because her husband thought working away from her in Bangkok and only seeing her for a day a week was enough to maintain the marriage. It's not. Not a reason to cheat but to divorce.

1. Assumption 2. Assumption 3. Assumption Without personally knowing anyone, you can't assume their lifestyle. Where is the survey for the second? I'm thinking most of us are here because we can find a younger pretty woman than we could back home, and a cheaper lifestyle. Most men do not want a promiscuous women, as that leads to them doing the same to you. And God doesn't bless immorality.

Only married once but several spouses?

Why do they give so much attention to things that aren't newsworthy here? What I see, daily, on the news would never make it to any networks in the US. An average looking woman, 30 already, who obviously doesn't work out, is expecting men to flock to her, asking what most others want but rarely get in a man, especially here. Nothing wrong with wanting a man wit those qualities, but what you bring to the table matters as much, and boobs aren't going to fill the deal unless you also have a lot of other things, like honesty, integrity, care, loyalty and a non greedy personality.

Actually it's 2024. Some of us prefer solid media we can choose from. A collection. Kinda hard to put 50,000 cd's on a phone, and if you lose the phone or it stops working.

Hollywood means the US, and most movies are centered around Hollywood, although they might be filmed elsewhere. I have Hero, and it's an okay movie.

Actually everyone needs emotional support at times. No man is an island. A person that can give it can also receive it, and easier, seeing they know how to fill a persons emotional needs when they are down. An empath is a prime example of this, and a narcissist is someone who can't give emotional support because they either don't care or were never taught how. What your father said is partly true, as independence is a good quality, but the world humbles the strongest man eventually. It has nothing to do with new fangled or woke, as woke doesn't fit this, and is used by many people because it's popular to use the term. People who try to face every obstacle by themselves get worn down, and eventually it can lead to depression or worse. People need people, just as a man needs a woman and a woman needs a man. It doesn't make them weak but human.

I was referring to what you said, that you don't see Thai couples holding hands much, which is true, although what I meant is that it's been catching on, where I see more doing it now than when I first moved here, and hear about it more also. Thai's adopt many things from westerners, and this is one of them, along with some kissing in public I've seen.

Everyone needs someone to be there for them. That's human behavior. Some don't want it because of negative relationships where a woman hurt them. You can be independent and still want someone there for company, sex, shared times, a team to get things done. I learned to cook watching my dad, and also to clean. Taking more care of my children than my ex's did, and do. Sometimes a man has to be Mr. Mom because the mom doesn't want the job. A stable man learns from both parents, that the other is a partner and not a slave. A boy sees mom doing everything and thinks that's mom's job, and all dad has to do is bring home money. That always leads to strife.

I'm thinking it's attraction more than psychology, and the fact they speak English a lot more there. Some men want a mother figure, most want a girl like their mom in some ways, and to look different than her for obvious reasons.

This goes along with outdated thinking. Showing support, care and love for your partner is normal behavior. Holding hands being one part of this. The lack of care here is obvious and this is one way it shows. I do see more people holding hands than when I first moved here, albeit only 6 years ago, and I'm thinking more have also noticed. The younger generation wants things like westerners do. They like our music, fashions, movies and other things so adopting holding hands comes with that, and is normal. It's the elders that frown on this. Part of a country becoming a developed one instead of third world, suppressed thinking.

You originally said before 2000. I listed what IMDB has, and many are after 2005. I'm not sure what movies you are watching, but I watch most of what comes out, and there are still good movies being made.

Watch more movies. Many do not have happy endings. The ones you listed, although not too bad, have people flying around, which is unrealistic and takes away from the movie. Look at No Country for Old Men, The Hateful Eight, Gladiator, just to name three. No happy endings.I've watched thousands of movies, and many, many Asian, and the actors are just not that good. I have the movies you listed in my collection. I'm not a hero worshiper by any means, looking at actors as just that. Good at what they do, but hardly worth the worship some give them.

The ones that are listed are excellent movies. Asian movies, some, are okay, but Hollywood still reigns supreme and probably always will. I'm not referring to kids action movies, where much of it is CG. John Woo has made some good movies but most of what's made in Asia pales by comparison.

That's what right of way means.

In developed countries pedestrians have the right of way.

There have been many excellent movies made since 2000. If you're a movie buff, especially seeing you rarely leave your house, this should be easy for you to research. Do you have Netflix? I do agree most of the best movies made were made before that. Look at these, at least 55 I like that have high ratings for a reason...............https://www.imdb.com/list/ls002065120/.

Your last sentence actually described the goings on daily here.

Mental illnesses have no borders, and are in every country. You don't learn bad behavior from other countries but from not being raised in a safe, non abusive, non neglected environment, meaning at home.

"Many ambulance drivers are driving with sirens blaring and lights flashing with a non urgent patiant or no patiant at all . Hard to take them seriously"................... Of course you are. Again, you aren't in ANY ambulances you see going by with lights on, so you're assuming what they're doing, unless of course you follow all of them to the hospital to see if they have a patient inside. A priority call, short of an emergency, still has ambulances using their lights and sirens, to get the patient to the hospital as soon as safely possible.

And the patient needed hospital treatment and maybe it wasn't an emergency but a priority.
