it is what it is

if you're talking about thai monks, not sure about the celibacy thing, if the local media is anything to go by...

And anywhere in Thailand is a considerably safer place to be than London, Nottingham, Manchester, Birmingham, Coventry ad infinitum. yes, and no, the main difference is that you can risk assess more effectively in the uk cities, there are areas and activities that will make you less safe, avoid these and your day to day life is very safe. compared this to thai cities where you literally have to be on your guard all the time because the roads are so dangerous, whether you're in a vehicle or a pedestrian.

chill out guys, it's all a obama, biden, comey plot, or failing that, fake news, or if that doesn't work, it's AI, so really nothing to see here.

no need to pay an agent to open a bank account for you, it's really not difficult for anyone with basic intelligence, and a bit of patience.

this is true, it doesn't seem the brightest idea...

yea, for an american that counts as having 'done' europe, so in fact he's correct.

there was a guy on here, farang in issan, or something like that, documenting his life in a small issan village. i found it fascinating, he seemed happy enough, but the low cost, basic level of life isn;t for me, not that for one moment i'd suggest money brings happiness, but is does bring a level of comfort and security. anyway, horses for courses, depends on your expectations from life, if life in rural, poor thailand with few amenities suits you then all power to you. not for me though.

come on... is this a surprise to anyone? he was always crystal clear about his attitude to illegal, and other, immigrants, how is anyone surprised about what's going on. yes, it's awful, but hey, you americans voted him in, if this is a surprise to you then you really weren't paying attention.

no it's not, and they don't. why are you here if all you want to do is spout unsubstantiated nonsense?

them sex tourists don't like being filmed

if only thailand had been colonised by france, the coffee... the bakeries... the city planning...

I have no interest at all in driving a flashy car or living in a big house i do, and it's fantastic, i can live cheap or i can live expensive, life's great

If I return to the UK, then I will receive my index-linked state pension. I will also be eligible for state assistance to pay my rent, council tax etc, 'ain't you lucky you were born in the uk.
