Damning comment, but yet again brilliant.????????

No. I can't recall have erectile dysfunction when I was a youth.????????

Yup. A Nigerian named George.????????

Why isn't he orange like that Bloke in the US? Pagentry.????????

I visited here 1993 through to 2013 when I finally dropped anchor and stayed here. In the tourist years I probably didn't notice too much re food. Mostly ate Western food. Since living here, it is startling to see how much fizzy soft drink is guzzled and how many tea-spoons of sugar go into a bowl of noodles. Kids simply follow what their parents or grandparents do. I have seen the step-daughter shovelling 3 tea-spoons of sugar into 10 year old son's noodles. Just shake my head now.????????

Expect suspicious looking people garbed in hoodies on your street corner soon. Cop motor bike or car 50 meters away. Everybody happy.????????

Fair enuff. Hoping to evade those creatures.????????

Why does he still look so orange?????????

Yes. Wifey and I have been on some adventures in outlying provincial areas, courtesy of the nice lady. Always good fun but expensive on fuel driving around in circles.????????

Fair enuff. Bkk & GPS probably work. Provinces and outlying areas, maybe not.

"into ladyboys".......ouch. Just lost my breakfast.????????

Thinking that the media like to call it as human trafficking. Maybe it illicits sordid thoughts in some?????????

Guess I'm still locked in the 70's. A wad of cash still feels good. And I don't need to keep checking a spreadsheet or an app to see if I will be disgraced at the checkout by a refusal on a card. But yeah. The times they are a changin'.????????

Not sure how much you will "experience" in a air-conditioned sleeper? I first did Europe trains 35 years ago while back-packin'. Always a sit up berth enjoying the local people. Some trains (Yugoslavia/Greece) appeared to have square wheels. Fabulous stuff. Enjoy the ride & let us know how it pans out.????????

"The foreign gunman......is of foreign descent". Glad we cleared that up..????????

Not convinced that your wife actually listened in the first place. My wifey certainly doesn't seem to do so.????????

Brown Flying with "Delusion". Brilliant song & vid on you-tube. (Not clever enuff to attach.)????????

Acronyms. Thailand the new hub of acronyms. CIA? OH Wow. Only TAT could do that.2????????

And the gift box of that bird stuff drink.

Loved this news item for the journalistic licence; Shocking, Unleashed havoc, Serene, Viciously, Distressed, Swiftly, Bore the brunt, Erratic,and Tolerance. Other reporters may have said "Drunk Somchai". Maybe too many G & T's? Brilliant.????????

Correct Lou. That is what you thought. Rinse & Repeat. Watch this spot.????????

Agreed. Unfortunately, your, and my main problems are not the banks problems. Internet will disappear. Simples as we are forced to play the banks game. Apps will rule (until the next incarnation).????????

I doubt if there are many digital nomads in Thailand. Likely there are people who take photos of themselves and declare to be influencers. I'll let you decide who is who..????????

I would think that most ex-pats (including me), from whatever country are "Average Joe's." We just wanna get on with life in this fabulous country, maybe with a family. Can't see why it should be such a problem. But Thai Officialdom are terrified of aliens.????????

You have been alerted/warned.????????
