This is probably where I am headed.

 

As to being the first foreigner, that was probably much more likely when you got here 20 years ago.

 

I heard it's best to be #3. Let the first two wear her down.

I'm quite happy to be #2, and be her teacher. It's amazing, the best I've experienced. She doesn't need to be worn down as I'm doing that and she can't get enough LOL. Finding a 33-year-old with no children is the hardest thing. I've come across 2, and both worked in hotels. It's bizarre because both are the same age and work for the same hotel chain, one in Pattaya and one in Bangkok.

The main benefit of being #3 might be that she speaks more English.

There are a lot of lonely ladies out there who don't sell their bodies for money. You have to be patient and do your research. It's a lot easier if you live in Bangkok.

You missed the bit about her being Thai/ Chinese and having a HiSo family.

 

 

That's because she isn't. I wouldn't be able to get anywhere near a HiSo family and wouldn't want to anyway.

I stopped using it as I now prefer the generic Cialis (Tadalofil). 

How much was it? I can get it at a local store (near Walking Street, Soi 16, on Pratumnak Road) for 200 baht a pack, but most other stores charge 400. The Pharmacist always gets it from the back.

I think that is a very strange opinion.

It means you don't have the qualifications to make a sound judgement of Musk's intelligence. That's still my opinion no matter how weird it seems to you.

Another attempt at trolling (and baiting), and you're the one complaining that I'm a troll. I suppose unless you get the last word, you'll continue this discourse forever.

So, did you make your first billion already? Or what qualifies you to see the situation so much clearer than others?

 

A decent person will never call anybody else a pedophile unless he is sure that that person is actually a pedophile.

He could have called the other guy stupid or idiot or anything like that. He didn't. Musk decided to use that word which can ruin peoples live.

 

People saw it in different ways, you said your piece, I said mine, both opinions.

In the pecking order of trolls you really need to be trying much harder....you are way down the league table.....Man City-ish.

First, you gave the much-used trolls "Is English your first language" insult.

Then you named me a troll, not addressing the nonsense you posted, but attacking me in a personal way.

I would suggest you're the troll, posting an average of over 11 posts a day vs my under 2 per day average. I'm not here often and people (trolls) like you are one of the reasons. I see you live in the heart of Northern Isaan. It must be a very boring place, living on a farm. You have nothing better to do.

I don't hate Musk, but I was also critical of him at that time. Musk is smart, but sometimes he thinks he is a lot smarter than he actually is. His submarine idea was stupid, and when he was criticized, he called his opponent a pedophile. Is that what grown up people do? No! 

It seems to many celebrities think if they are famous for one or two things, then they know everything and have to tell the world what to do here and there and everywhere. They should just shut up and concentrate on the things which they actually good at.

I think you can comment on Musk's intelligence and skills once you manage to reach your first billion. You misinterpreted his effort to help in the caves, because you hate him, as many others did. You're giving your biased spin on the story. Everyone has outbursts on occasion, his opponent deserved it at that time. His opponent wanted fame, Musk was only interested in helping.

Whatevs

You're the one calling to question your reader's English skills.

Let me spell it out:

Even Trump (who often kills people) wouldn't have Musk killed if he was fed up with him.  

That's the way it comes across.

Not really....but good effort.....is English your first language?

I'd say you're the one with the English comprehension problem. Try reading your comment again

If "Even Trump" wouldn't kill Musk, that suggests Trump is a killer, who would restrain himself from killing Musk.

It's very funny to me that so many people suddenly take offence at billionnaires getting involved in politics just because Trump is doing it.

It seems this forum has a lot of Musk haters. I noted that during the Cave Incident in June-July 2018. At that time Musk wasn't anywhere near the world's wealthiest, with a mere $20 billion to his name.

I guess the only difference is....... even Trump wouldn't have Musk killed once he's fed up of him......whereas Putin wouldn't hesitate???

Who else did Trump kill, if he "even wouldn't have Musk killed"?

We can't predict the future.

One big problem is that as far as I know no private person was ever as rich as Musk. 

How can we or anybody else guess what is on that guy's mind. I read somewhere that if 1 meter would be 1 dollar then he would have enough money for the distance to Mars and back. That is soooooooo much money that nobody can really understand it.

So, what will Musk do? What is on his mind? There is nobody who we can ask who might know.

Currently, Musk is worth $433.9 billion (real-time updated), nearly $200 billion more than the next wealthiest. It fluctuates wildly as most of his wealth is in stocks.

BTW, if you had a dollar for every meter to Mars and back, you'd have anywhere from $109 billion (Bill Gates) to $802 billion (nearly twice the wealth of Musk). It's not a good analogy because the distance of Mars varies from 54.6 billion meters to 401 billion meters depending on where it is in its orbit around the Sun.

Here's a more interesting way to visualize $433.9 billion. At the current world's population estimate of 8.201 billion, that's enough money to give every human $52.9, or closer to home, 208,000 baht to every person in Thailand. (pop 71.64 million, ex rate 34.35).

Why can't you understand billions when the US government plays around with trillions? The total income for the US government in fiscal year 2024 was $4.92 trillion. The US debt is currently 36.4 trillion.

You have to give credit to an entrepreneur who risks (wastes/spends) $44 billion to buy Twitter, just so he can have a way to communicate to the world without the Left interfering. It was a stroke of brilliance. Of course, the Trump-hating Left will go after anyone associated with Trump, by default. When he buys TikTok, the haters will really start to panic.

Hitting a little old lady and bicycle wouldn't be enough to flip a large vehicle like that van, unless excessive speeding was involved.

You could easily flip a car at normal speed if the old lady suddenly appeared on the road and you suddenly served to avoid hitting her.

Well, at least one can die an exciting death here!

In most countries, they don't publicize every incident causing death, and certainly not suicides. For lack of news, you'll find nearly every single death of a foreigner in Thailand reported in the local media.  

Jomtien and Pattaya cover a lot of beachfront, so you'd expect to have some drownings every year.

Lack of air or water in the lungs?

Use your imagination:

Of course, they need to autopsy the body to determine the cause, mode and manner of death.

He could have died of a heart attack or stroke. Was he hit by a boat or jetski? Could he have been dead and thrown into the water? The possibilities are endless. They have to try to rule out foul play.

   And you decided to come here and talk to us on ASEANNOW 

No, I didn't come here to talk to you. I read the thread and decided to comment. She was sleeping and I had already taken care of business LOL. I do read this forum occasionally, mainly to catch up on the latest Thailand news.

That's because she is only interested in the size of the bulge in your back pocket. 

So you apply your limited range of thinking to all Thai females? That isn't very respectful to my girl, all Thai girls, and me.

Having lived IN Thailand for nearly 20 years, I've learnt quite a bit about dating.

My lady is early 30's and has a 6-day-a-week job at a 5* hotel. She has a university education and has managed to buy an apartment, a car and a motorcycle through hard work all her life. I'm the first foreigner she has dated, so she hasn't been near people like you who think all ladies are whores and ready to be bought. She has no children.

Was I lucky? Yes and no, because I have a specific type of partner that I seek. They don't fall into your lap, especially in Pattaya. I've met several women who work their asses off doing regular (non-sexual) work. They can be found.

Yes, I have the diabetes and an enlarged prostate. Malls, PTT, coffee shops. Keep the eyes peeled. The car has am empty water bottle for emergencies.

If no car, the options are fewer.

I have to go now and then very urgently. Diabetes seems to do that. Always keep an eye open for hotels.

Thai tuk tuk drivers are considered low class so no outage,but westerners are supposed to be better than them.

Enlarged prostates do that too... which of course is a very common affliction.

It would be impossible to find a toilet anywhere along Beach Road unless you were close to a shopping mall.

No outrage among Thai residents.  I've lived here 20 years and see Thais urinating on the verge of (busy) roads every single day.

In the article, they are talking about safeguarding the environment, when thousands of diseased soi dogs are relieving themselves all over Pattaya.

Living here 12 years, it seems to get worse year after year.  It amazes me how someone would go to a foreign ( country OTHER than theirs ) and act like a total arse!!!  I vote to deport him and ban 5 years - although it happened IN Pattaya ...... Hummmm

 

It happened in Phuket, but it's a non-event. It's just drunk young tourists being stupid. It's no reflection on anything at all. 

If there's any difference from years ago, it's because everyone has a video recorder/camera in their pocket, and social media to post it on.
