  1. Yes, but they suddenly become very courageous when it's 10 against one.
  2. Yes, Thais don't like to be told off by a farang, they lose face, and they can be quite vindictive. So there is a good chance of him returning with reinforcement. better arm yourself, get your own reinforcement, or leave town for a while. Safety first is a Thai motto.

    Cheap gym

    Unfortunately, Pattaya doesn't have any cheap gyms. They start at 120 Baht for a day pass ,and go way up . I spend most of my time in Vietnam now, where the gyms cost a fraction of that. Sun Fitness on Soi Buakao has aircon and Treadmills facing the road and the market, but don't think they have TV.Bring your smartphone or tablet for entertainment. It's 120 Baht a day, 990 a month. You would have to get up the stairs though. The reopened Tony gym at intersection of South Pat road /3rd requires no climbing, is the same price, but very polluted air you are breathing there. Supposedly it's 24/7. Kind of curious whether it's the same Tony. The old Tony closed down all his businesses, was gone for ages.Has he reappeared.?
  4. Well according to the cat experts in this thread, get a couple of felines.
  5. I do not, other than that curiosity killed the cat, and that they don't bark, and therefore haven't caused me any sleepless nights. Oh, and there are big cats like tigers that can eat much bigger prey than geckos, like humans .
  6. No point in worrying. But life expectancy is rising because modern medicine can cure more and more diseases . Better than getting sick and then be cured by chemotherapy or radiotherapy...is not to get sick in the first place, and cutting down on chemicals ,plastic and pollutants might help you with that. You set the bar ,30, a little too low for most of us. But there is something to be said for THE WHO' s maxim:I want to die before I get old.
  7. If she is from a Chinese Thai family, maybe. Most Thais will splurge and burn through that cash in no time, especially if they know there is a farang sucker around who is always good for more.
  8. It's also possible that in grandma's village the dowry is calculated by taking a base amount and multiplying it by the age of the bride.
  9. There have been plenty of surveys showing that Trumps base are non college educated white, racist Americans. We could add a little bit of evidence by having you undergo an IQ test, and a little knowledge test. As a frequent apologist, and thereby enabler, of a fascist movement, I would bet a lot of money on that you would get a high score on the F- scale as well.
  10. Do you starve your cats, or put them on a restricted diet?Or do they really prefer geckos to cat food?
  11. No, it's not allowed, and Cannabis makes you less aggressive. Alcohol and speed ,on the other hand, can make you more aggressive.
  12. There certainly is. It is estimated that the average American ingests the equivalent of one credit card of plastic a week. How much more will it be in Thailand, where everything, including boiling soups and curries are poured into cheap plastic bags for home consumption .Could be 3 credit cards in just one week.
  13. A 47 year old grandmother. Most Thai women lose their looks and sex appeal in their thirties.Lots of children, lots of stretch marks, another massive turn-off. The only way that makes sense is if the OP is in his eighties or nineties, and is looking for nurse/ caretaker cum lover.
  14. Not really an optimist when it comes to Thai authorities getting things done. So pretty sure the monkeys will still be around when most of us are gone. Not the current generation, but their offspring.
  15. I assume that a cyst is the same or somewhat similar to an abscess. I have had two recently .The first one was in the crack of my behind, very painful. went to a local clinic, the doctor opened it up under local anaethesia, cleaned it out for 800 Baht, 5 follow up visits for further cleaning out , each time 180 Baht, antibiotics for a week. The second was on my neck, treated it myself with antibiotics and disinfectants.
  16. I have a feeling that you surround yourself with idiots, people so ignorant that they don't even know what it really means to be left/right wing. (REMOVED) You gotta do a little bit of reading of Marx, Marcuse, Adorno ,Foucault, Chomsky etc to enter in to a meaningful discussion. Trumpians don't read. The higher your IQ ,your educational level, the more you read ,the less likely you are to vote for a Republican.
  17. 555, not right away, but there won't be a new generation of macaques committing robberies in whatever the life expectancy of this species is.
  18. The smirking, groveling (to square face and the rest the Shinawatra mafia) ass needs to smoke a few joints himself to lighten up, to see the light and realize that he is a piece of useless ...., and do humanity a favor, resign and call a new election.
  19. No studies needed, alcohol wins hands down. The only question, maybe, by what factor 10, 20, 100...
  20. But the ladyboys hate the water, messes up their makeup and the rest of their fake accessory. Also, the drowning fellow wasn't Indian.
  21. That is a ludicrous analogy. Sex is no joke.
  22. A threat to Thailand ,that would be donkey head and the square face he takes his orders from. The Shinawatra clan 's drug is power and money, they can't get enough of it. That drug is million times more dangerous than all the other drugs combined.
