rub n tugs are still busy

and that's all that matters in my world

Did I read this right? If you go to a go go bar/beer bar/pub for a few quiet ones, you're at risk of the police storming in and dragging you down to Soi 9 for a drug test just because I happen to be there in the venue?

Is this police action meant to be promoting tourism like they're always saying?

It doesn't make me feel like going out and spending my money in a bar if half way through the night I'm gonna be subjected to this sort of treatment...

I can even relate to these posts a little bit. Everyone wants to look better in photos, and we all want to improve our bodies. Master makeup to look more beautiful. It is hard to believe today in general. To check my reviews, go to my blog, where I tell how I bought legit Instagram likes from Buytoplikes. But for any beginning blogger, it is essential to build a personal brand from the very start. 

 

And to achieve even greater success, the following tips will help:

- Pictures with people get 25% more likes on average.

- Post lovely photos with your pets, and no one can leave a cute kitty without cursing.

- According to statistics, pictures where the object's texture is clearly visible, are 5 times more prevalent.

- Do not rely too much on fasting on Friday and Saturday evenings. One-half of the people will not see them because they will be busy with more important things, and the others will not give a like so as not to show that they have nothing more interesting to do than sitting on Instagram.

- Share links to your profile and posts in it on other social networks, which will help attract additional attention.

-Reciprocate likes on Instagram. Otherwise, users may quickly lose interest in a cold and indifferent profile.

So, I wouldn't be so harsh to these girls. Our culture is what sculpts us. We are all villains and victims. If you do not like what is going on in the publications above - change it. Lower the beauty standards for more people to feel attractive and confident. Stop evaluating others' appearances. 

Ermm, I think you've written this for the wrong audience here in TV....did you mean to email this to Cosmopolitan or Men's Health magazine editors?

If you did write it for the mostly grumpy old men audience on here, better sign us all up for makeup classes and explain to us how "to leave a cute kitty without cursing"  Btw, not too many of us here would rely on Friday & Saturday evenings for fasting either, we're normally all hitting the booze by then! 

Otherwise, I think we could all manage the remainder of your guidelines for attracting additional attention. In fact many here in TV are experts at it!

Before choosing Pratamnak, I was interested in Sky Beach, but was warned that the elevators are very slow. True?  But now I live in Unixx and the elevators are slow haha.

They were fine. One side serviced floors 1-25, the other side went express straight past them to floors 26 and up. It was a fantastic building. Having that massive full height internal atrium with staircase and verandahs was fantastic for breezes. Btw, I'm talking about the Sky Beach next to Centara Grand, not the other Sky Beach (Park Beach?) further down Soi 18 in Wongamat.

Agree. But even more so in this case.  My understanding is that Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and emphysema doesn't happen ovenight. I have freinds who suffer from similar conditions and refuse to change their lifestyle and get help. 77 years old, fixed in his own world, wants to live in warm climate, doesn't want to change, hoping negative things will just go away by themselves. I have more sympathy for his daughter. Just my opinion and I could be 100% wrong in this matter.

You got one thing right in that rant and that's that you're 100% wrong....

Things will go downward worldwide, probably for the rest of the century. And the third world will probably suffer most. Thailand is in the third world, come to Isaan if you want proof (household income/debt, education level, health, etc.)

Pretty negative outlook. There is going to be some downturn while we wait to see if the war in Europe spreads or can be contained and if the Chinese will go ahead with their planned invasion of Taiwan. If the latter happens, things will really change for everyone, especially those in the Western Pacific. If it doesn't happen, then I can't see a downturn lasting for the rest of the century...

Was it the Merion Cricket Club???

 

This is the only one I can think of worth visiting.

 

Super nice, for sure....

But now...it's really No Big Deal.

It was a totally different operation in the 1960s and 1970s.

Wish I could go back, in fact.

Those days are long gone.

 

https://www.merioncricket.com/

 

I never imagined there would be a cricket club in America. Despite it being one of the world's most popular sports, I thought most Americans would have no idea of what it was..

Geez, an OP requesting recommendations for endocrinologist services and just a few posts in the arguments start lol.

How does such an innocuous post descend into petty bickering so quickly and somehow get sidetracked into supplementary discussion on orchids and pianos? ????

People are really snarly these days, I guess what with 2 years of covid, the European war and now the war in the western pacific getting ready to kick off, who can blame us I suppose.. 

Just who the hell are they going to fight with these two aircraft?? The war will start at smoko and be over by lunchtime.

Same situation in Australia. The armed forces lack lethality. They have some really high tech stuff, but only two of each...

Let me tell you the story of a female friend of my gf. The friend is now maybe 45 years old and she has four kids in the range from about 6 to 21. 

She used to sell food at the local school or market. Now it seems she doesn't find or doesn't like any jobs near her home, about 5 hours away from Bangkok. And some time ago she decided she will come to Bangkok to work here and make money.

Because of her age and being overweight and not fit the numbers of people who want to employ her are low. But she somehow always finds a job. So maybe she works for 4 weeks in a job in Bangkok. And then she misses her kids, which is understandable. And then she decides to visit her kids for a weekend.

After a day home she somehow realizes that a weekend is not really long enough, so she stays a little longer with the kids. And then, maybe a week later, she returns to "her" job. Except it is not her job anymore. Because she didn't show up after the weekend the boss hired someone else. After all, the work has to be done. She is disappointed, why did that boss do that? It was just a couple of days, and she missed her children. 

It seems she doesn't even try to look at it from the perspective of the employer.

So she is looking for work again, another company with another job. And, what a surprise, after a few weeks she misses her kids again. So she goes home again over the weekend. And there someone else tells her about that other job, where she would get 1000B more per months. Oh, that sounds good, lets go there. Should she inform her previous employer who thought she will come back after the weekend? Not really. He will see that she doesn't show up...

This is happening, and with repetitive behavior again and again. Last time she didn't yet miss the children but a relative died and she had to go to the funeral - after she started work maybe 10 days ago. That funeral was obviously important...

Let's look what will happen next. But it doesn't really matter because it will likely be similar to what happened in the past. My gf talked about this with me, and I suggested she should look for work in or near her village. Because otherwise the story will repeat again and again. But no, thinking about what would make sense is just too much headache.

Somehow she seems to me a typical case of how many uneducated Thais "think".

 

I always enjoy your anecdotes onemorefarang

It's a beautiful house.

Lawn is a bit untidy though. I imagine that will get quite muddy after a downpour. Hope he's got enough money left to lay grass and a hard driveway.

And white men never cause trouble right? Typical response from a racist.

Yes, of course they do. But it's a matter of proportion right?

I think this idea is fine and confirm it is okay to proceed without any opposition from my side.
