As a single guy, I cross paths with many Thai ladies. Some of them have stories. As opposed to having a Thai wife who doesn't talk much, too busy with the kids, the parents, friends, the dog, etc.

Not my experience... It seems you glossed over the "as told by survivors" part.

The bargirl in question basically cried all night about her Farang boyfriend leaving her. But, I suspect most of it was the loss of face that she was going to suffer back in the village.

Not wise to play with other ladies in the village. Big loss of face for wifey.

So your wife has a Thai man on the side?

So...Jenna Ellis has admitted that the 2020 election wasn't stolen. We are down to just a handful of deadenders who believe the election was stolen.

For you Trump fans: It's all going to end for you someday. Maybe it will take 10 years, but, at some point, you're going to wake up and realize you've been lied to. You are not going to your grave as a Trump fan (unless you are hit by a bus tomorrow), you *will* have a realization that it is not a giant conspiracy, Trump is simply lying to you. Same as the war in Iraq. How many people still believe the WMD lie? Or the Vietnam war - what was that about anyway? I knew Republicans who wanted to nuke Vietnam, but who didn't know where it was. Just as Vietnam and Iran are widely descredited, Trump will be, too.

There was a glitch in the last 24 hours, when Cohen seemed to admit that Trump never told him to inflate the value of Trump's assets. There was later clarification when Cohen stated that Trump's orders were clear, but indirect. Like a Mob boss.

When I write "stirrings of High Season", I don't mean that High Season is here, but that tourist numbers are beginning to spike up. The baht buses filling up is a leading indicator. The bars are the last indicator.

The flip side. I just had a former bargirl here whose Farang boyfriend just pulled the plug. Lots of sordid stories and tears. She says she really loves him, even though he often talked about killing her.

oops

Thai: Europe and Australia routes fully booked

I am an innocent bystander in UK politics, what with being a Yank. Back in the day, it was easy to root against the Thatcherites and the Conservative party. But, with Blair pushing Labour to the right, and Cameron taking up the middle, British politics is less about ideology and more about capability and personality. It happens that the Conservatives have been in power too long, and a hiatus might do them some good. If Labour wins, and they allow more immigrants in, their own voters will revolt.

As mentioned before, Trump's reason for inflating the value of his assets was to secure lower interest rates. If you can't understand this, everyone will know why. More to the point, it is good public policy to deter what is now widespread asset valuation fraud. Don't you agree? I hope you are finished spewing FOX News talking points. These are aimed at low information viewers, you can't sell them here.

You are one of the lucky ones. I have gone to the village with a couple of bargirls. No Farang bars, no Farangs at all... for many miles.

You don't seem to understand how Farangs tend to fare once they go to live in the village. Some do very well, but most basically live alone, as the wife is busy with the kids, her friends, the parents, the dog, the usual horror story told by survivors.

Love is blind.

SEC Charges Infinity Q Founder with Orchestrating Massive Valuation Fraud https://www.netsuite.com/portal/resource/articles/accounting/financial-statement-fraud.shtml Asset valuation fraud is common, and commonly prosecuted. Your work experience is not germane to this case.

What about? Is that all you have? How much FOX News do you watch?

The fact is that Trump is under indictment for 91 crimes, plus now in a fraud trial. The fact that you can't focus on that, and insist on rambling about ancient history indicates you have been conned by Trump. The question in this fraud trial isn't guilt, its the penalty. But you do know Trump committed fraud, right?

One of your tactics is "whataboutism". This is when you try to compare Trump's criming with others. Try to think of it like this: Someone near and dear to you is injured by a criminal. When apprehended, the criminal asks: "What about so-and-so, they haven't been arrested yet?" Not a criminal defense. The issue on the table is Trump's criming, not what Herbert Hoover did in 1907. You obviously learned "whataboutism" from FOX News, along with a bunch of other worn out debate tactics. Yes, I am sure you are outraged that Joe Biden took a walk on the beach this weekend.

Assuming you are a reasonable person, do you not understand that Trump is a long time con man? Is this the case where you know he's a grifter, but you think that he's not grifting you? Forgetting his politics, how can you support someone so dishonest? Please do not response with a list of Biden's lies, most of those are petty or screw-ups, and not germane.

You really worked for a bank? Do you understand that loan interest rates are partially based on the valuation of applicant assets? Don't you think it's good public policy to ensure that valuations are not fraudulent?

That's how they make a living, same as the ISIS guys. There's a market for terrorists.
