So, then you managed to tell everyone that you are smarter. Let´s see how that will be received

Ok, Bob. Let me tell it to you straight. Your mother lied to you. Look at money in the west, and look at money in Thailand. If you look very close, you will see that it is only more open here, but exists everywhere. You should be happy, that people are that honest and open about it to you instead. Your western wife or friend would never be. But, YES! You are right, money comes first, but it is not related to Thailand. Just more open. It is not true that parents teach their kids to choose money over love. What they are interested about is to give their children the best possibilities. They do know life is finite, and that they can´t take money with then when they die. However, they also know that money left after they die, can give a better life for their children. Of course we also have bar girls, and they fit perfect for your weird post. No, everything is not about money here. That is just a comment from a person that has very poor knowledge of Thailand, but still you spout new threads and posts like never before. Think it´s time for you to slow down and think about that you chosed to be a guest in this country. Otherwise, you can just go back to whatever nothing you have left. Integrity means everything here, but they chose to call it loss of face. A little bit more harsh reaction might be the result compared to other nations. Of course money will make you happy. Stop the nonsense. If you had none, your would understand. That you are miserable as hell, has noting to do with your money. It has all to to with your choices in life. If miserable, you probably made the wrong ones. So, in reality, you a living effing proof what happens to people make all the wrong choices.

Are we really as lonely on this planet, that we must start this many silly threads. "Pie addiction"??? But eat your pies! Nobody cares! The question is just why you do not try some descent food?

You know, I am pretty sure most opticians in Bangkok can understand Bangkok Hospitals recommendations and verdicts. I am also pretty sure they can fix good lenses for you. You are not qualified to make any decision, as you needed to go hospital to get the right info. Just let them work, or learn Thai if you want to understand Thailand. ????

Darn! You are loaded man! Do you have a fan page?

If not, he will just have to do a Guatama the opposite way.

A terrible thought, but true ????

I suggest you count them.

When did I say you should give in to hostage takers?

We can say like YES! A man like that, should not be allowed to have children. So, it´s a win for the child, which makes it all worth it!

Ok, they are helping by bombing. Great! If Hamas do not kill them, maybe the Israelis will.

You are going on about foreigners living in, and moving to Thailand, like this is the big economy for Thailand. That is pure rubbish!! What you are talking about, is just a drip in the economic ocean. Thailand makes more money out of only Chinese tourists, than they do from all the expat community in Thailand. You are so far from the truth as you can be! Let´s say like this. There are approximately 160k expats living in Thailand. Most of us do not spend that much on car, school nor home/condo/house. Let´s make a high estimation, at 2,5 million baht per foreigner regarding car and house in general. that would be 160 000 x 2,5M = 400B baht. This number, is also what expats have been contributing to during a period of more than 30 years. Something that would make it approx. 13,3B baht per year. After that it will be 60k baht per expat x 12 month. 720 000 baht x 160 000 = 115B baht per year. Gives a total of, let´s say 130B baht per year. Looking at numbers from 2019, only the Chinese tourism generated 400B baht in a year. Thailand tourism is on the rise again, and will surely reach 3T baht per year in a couple of years.

Naughty tuk tuk drivers.

Your Immigration office will do it for you.

That!

I am so happy all was in the OP. Now I didn´t even have to write it.

If you, as an American, makes way too much money in the States, then you would also be aware of how the tax treaty works.

So, we will be on the look-out for a very handsome pixelated man.

What would you like them to say?

Yes, and my answer regarding my opinion about the the different age groups, was supposed to be seen related to 2023. Something that meant, I would rather be 70 than 17 at present time. On the other hand I am just a bit over 50, which serves me perfect.

No problem, whatsoever

17 had it´s charm. Over 50 has it´s charm, and i think it feels better as you are more secure in life. How I feel when I am 70, I do not know, but if healthy, I think life will be better.

No probs. You are not working now, only enjoying life.

That will give you 6 nights, right. Can be 6 different girls, so it might be okay for such a short time. ???? If you are a stallion, then you can make it 12 - 18. ????

Great to hear Bob! Nice that you are back in your own shoes! Taking one now Cheers, man!
