Who pays for a woman in her sixties? There are very few Thai women over 40 that are still physically appealing. The only explanation I have is a tiny majority of men who have a fetish for geriatrics. That would explain the geriatric category on pornsites .

Thai food is great, one of the best cuisines in the world. Nevertheless even the best food in the world can get a little boring after years /decades of eating it every day. Variety is the spice of life, and Asia has a lot of other great cuisines, Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Vietnamese...

Everything is expensive at Central Festival.

I tried it yesterday. Fairly decent, big portion. The nan bread was a bit hard to chew.

How did you manage to evade the authorities for 11 years? Lie low and avoid hotels?

Money laundering, maybe?

It has always been a love affair with money, not with the people that bring the money.

There are almost as many Indian restaurants as Thai restaurants in Pattaya. What most of them lack is customers, more staff than patrons even at peak times. How fresh can the food be with hardly any turnover. I tried a few of them recently, and only one was halfway decent. Ordered a masala dosa at the Madras cafe, thought for 180 Baht you would at least get a big portion, but, while it tasted OK, the portion was ridiculously small. Tried two others, Chicken masala 250 Baht with 3 or 4 small pieces of chicken. Clearly, most of them are not value for money. Any recommendations?

Pathetic reply. Everything can always be reformed and made better, except for your brain. Have you considered a brain transplant.

Maybe you just got the wrong IO. I have been shuttling back and forth, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam for 3 years now .Usually, Vietnam for 3 months, fly to Thailand for a stay of 1 to 3 months, a couple of weeks Cambodia, back to Vietnam. Never been asked a single question by IOs at DM or Suvarnabhumi.

That's a Vietnamese thing, they usually take your blood pressure before Novacain injection. Has never happened to me in Thailand, and I have been to lots of dentists, both in Thailand and Vietnam.

Because you are not a taxi driver, I suppose.

Danang is awesome. Nha Trang would be great too, if it didn't have the largest concentration of Russians outside of Putinland. Phu Quoc is nice , been there several times, but wouldn't go there for the beaches, Koh Chang beaches are much more beautiful .Also the Vietnamese are world class litterers, they outlitter the Thais any time :

You got both, the rude ones and the friendly ones.

Not really. The far south of Vietnam hardly ever gets hit by typhoons.

Same for the bicycle tires. Looked good, but lasted only a few months.

I hope " not cheap" doesn't mean more expensive than the old Lotus branch.

What happened to the Decathlon store at Lotus north Pattaya? Went up the escalator for my twice a year sports shopping to find empty space where the Decathlon store used to be. I know there is a new one out on Sukhumvit .Did they relocate?

Cycling shorts don't have pockets.

They do great post-mortems and investigations on adjacent Koh Tao.

The problem is not that they intervened on behalf of the Thai woman, it's that a gang beat the cr.p out of intoxicated, more or less helpless, admittedly, idiots, and thoroughly relished the experience. One or two punches would have been sufficient, anything beyond that had very little to do with the initial slap of the girl, much more about sadistic, possibly xenophobic enjoyment of beating a farang unconscious. The slap was just a needed pretext. There is a lot of pent up aggression in a society that on the surface is extremely polite.

Really, I also took " this" train in 1979, but you had to change trains in Butterworth. If there ever was a through train to KL, it must have been before 1979.

Sure, there are fine people on both sides (according to the orange Jesus). A fine fascist is an oxymoron. The only good fascist is a dead fascist.

No young girls in Vancouver?? Have they all gone to the MAGA US?

But not much sex tourism in Vietnam. They are lacking the bar scene cum sex service infrastructure. No go go bars for example.
