Taboo2

I am fine living in Issan, but cannot deal with the snakes sneaking into my house and bathroom. I go to bathroom twice a night and would not want anything else to join me....55555. Everything else is gravy....especially if you love to read books and stream great shows.

55555555 They caught two dogs....problem solved....

Honestly, the COLA (cost of living abroad) in Pattaya is very cheap, and if you do not drink and monger too much, you can live like a King in this city.

Are these the same scientists that said it was GW, then Climate Change, then Climate Disruption??? Are these the same folks from Al Gore's scam,,,,"An Inconvenient Truth"? I too have a science and engineering background and do not care what is going on with the weather as it is just that....WEATHER!!!! Humans are too arrogant and think we are soooooo bad that we can mess up this 4.5 billion years old planet....here is a tip...we are parasites on this rock....get use to it...and stop thinking that we are the top dog. OK! Nothing we do can change the cycles of weather on this planet. The arrogance of humans knows no bounds!!!!

I completely agree. This is not hot weather. Maybe for folks from Europe or America, but for someone from Central America, this is normal. Folks whine too much when a little heat and humidity arrives around April. That is why I respect the locals, they ride it out every year and are bundle up, even when it is hot and humid....55555. Amazing how they wear so much clothes during the day....when it is hot and humid.

This is not the first Songkran in Thailand...I remember as a student back in the 80's, this tradition was in the news. Any man with 3 brain cells can put two and two together and observe a country that invited you in, observing a tradition. If you are not sure, then ask questions or stay the f***k in your room. People who come here and do not respect the culture deserve the consequence of resorting to violence. That man is damaged and is lucky he did not pull that on a violent Western Tourist (aka Americans or Brits or Aussies who would not take crap from him).

What a class A asshool! I hope he gets a long prison time and have to pay that family 3 million baht or more. The deport his ass and block him forever.

Everyone is having fun here in Patts. A few minor stupid arguments between drunken Brits, but nothing serious. We had one Thai on Thai killing, but that was strictly business, nothing personal. So far, so good. I am happy to see the Thais having fun after 4 years. Great country.

Never, ever, ever, ever, get involved in Thais fighting each other. Remember, YOU ARE A GUEST IN THIS COUNTRY. Stop trying to be a Western Calvary hero. It will never end well for you. Thailand is for Thai people. My God, why can't some western folks get this? The country was doing fine without us here hundreds of years ago, so why the hell you think you can save them from their daily BS. Leave these people alone! They are not bothering us. Learn from them!

When I visited my GF's family in Sakon Nakhon, we went on those famous family van rides to all the tourists sites. My God, I was in fear for my miserable life. No seatbelts. Fast driving to overtake a slow truck, near misses, and most of all, the driver was drinking his Chang Beer as was everyone esle. The kids were not strapped in and no one cared. That is when I realized that I was not in Kansas anymore.....555555. Life can be cheap in this country.

Good. Follow the rules and this issue should not affect you.

Yes, to all. I broke rule # 3 just to cause my girl to lose face. She learnt her lesson when I slept with her best friends in BKK and Pattya. Regarding # 4, this black dude was arguing with a motorbike taxi guy who was taking me and my Girl home. I did my best to defuse the issue, but the Thai motorbike guy got fed up and took his gun out and was ready if he came back one more time to argue. I told him go ahead, not my problem. Just another dumb idiot that will be dead. He took us home. That dude had no idea he was going to get shot.

Good! They need to come back here and stay in the BKK Hilton. Or, better yet, there life will be hell in a Chinese prison, so it is a win-win. So sad what that poor lady went through and then to end up in that stream is disgusting.

Lack of preparation, irresponsibility and failure to think critically is not my responsibility. No money from me. I am tired of supporting bad behavior.

What is the big deal? A stupid club fight and this is news? Happens every weekend since I started going to clubs back in 1980. Move on.

This dude is on point. He does a lot of research and does give good advice to ensure your money last during retirement. He works very hard at what he does and if you are seriously thinking of leaving to retire in a country where you can make you money go further, he does have good tips.

I thought most Europeans were smart? Did this dude read up on past history of these scams? I do not blame the woman, I blame him.

Kidney disease is bad, but too much sodium will cause High Blood pressure and that is not to be messed with. Avoid too much sodium if you can.

He won't be able to VAPE in prison....5555.

Listen to your husband....It is none of your business!!!

Great for Thailand and their economy. Putin loses a lot of smart Russians. Also, I prefer the Russians to other types of folks who come here and walk in the middle of the street, disrespect the poor Thai girls and argue over prices that are posted in 7/11. More Russians.....welcome to Thailand!!!!

I pray that they send that poor lady home and not take her to IDC. She just wants to make money to feed her family.

I guess the party plans will have to be adjusted this weekend....555555.

If convicted, I pray he gets life in the BKK Hilton. They will take care of him. Do not send him back to Sweden...their prisons are a joke. Please keep him here for the special treatment that he deserves.

Folks seems to forget that Hong Kong has major political issues right before covid was unleashed.
