What would that be ? edit: self answered On the other part, are they, countries, actually getting more gay (to shorten things up) tourist, or simply more are out of the closet ? I guess in reality, impossible to tell, unless a survey of gay travelers over a long period of time. Obviously if 2 same sex traveling together request a 1 bed hotel room, and face arrest for doing so, then not going to be on the list of tourist places to visit.

Was there a question in the OP that I missed ???? To the title, being single or married ... same worldwide, chose wisely if going the 'legal' route. As stated, not all marry bargirls, not that that is a bad thing. And why would they want to return to that environment, as would think they'd be happy to be away from it. I certainly wouldn't take my wife to a 'bar girl' establishment, or actually any bar, unless going to meet friends. And certainly not a bar that caters to P4P. I'm not a fan myself.

Ouch

Looking good ???? I just stuck with the basics, pork, salsa, lettuce & spritz of lime juice. More 'Mexican' aside from the flat bread ???? Trying to cut back on the full on dairy additions; cheese, sour cream ???? That stuff ain't burning off like it use to, and too lazy to exercise any more than I do now ????

Most tacos served outside of Mexico, don't resemble anything from in country. Not saying they're any better or worse, depend who's making, but I wouldn't label them 'Mexican'. And corn is the standard in Mexico, unless in a tourist area, then you'll find the 'Tex-Mex' version of tacos. Tortillas are fine, but I make my taco-ish thingy with flatbread. I like more substance to bite into. Made some last week, with a pork tenderloin, damn tasty also. Washed down with Mochitos ????

Are you sure about the diagnosis, as tendons have a better chance of healing by themselves over time. Ligaments may or may not need surgery. Don't know about Samui, but there's a teaching Vet Hosp at Hua Hin that might be an option. Wee bit closer for you if driving. Have used ourselves, but for nothing high tech/surgery. Kasetsart University Veterinary Teaching Hosp

HH isn't that much drier. 60-80% year round, at least. I'd would just run the ACs on dehumidifier mode. Cheaper than replacing everything, although, you need someone to check in every now & then, as a power outage will screw that plan up. Good inverter AC or stand alone dehumidifier really shouldn't draw that much electric. Couple million baht condo, and you're concerned about maybe a 1k to 1.5k baht a month electric bill ? How big is the condo ? When we're not home, the house draws <5kwh a day, keeping 2 frigs running.

Hopefully that will mean a decrease/end to terrorist activities. Hope so, as planning trip down that way soon, I think. Was never really concerned about safety, just not a fan of constant, bottle necked check points.

Yes, let's keep it that way. Tell them Tao & Samui are the best year round and that's where they should go for Gulf beaches ... ????

When playing Chimney Sweep, I hated slate or wood slat roofs. Scared the hell out of me, especially if wet. I did one house on the Main Line, had 5 chimneys, and I looked like a cargo rigger, with rope strung all over the roof and to me ???? Bert would be proud. On topic ... Thankfully not used here and rolled steel is becoming more common. Definitely the practical way to go. Stronger, cheaper, lighter with less steel needed to support, unless installing solar on it.

Possibly very accurate numbers, as I was surprised how crowded Phuket was a couple weeks ago. If we ever return, it will be just a R&R visit, hanging out at the resort, and not bother with exploring out of curiosity. Might leave the resort to visit Sunday Market in Old Town, but that's about it. Lack of parking & price gouging, along with crowded beaches was simply too much of a turn off for us.

Entertainment TV at it's worst. As if 2016/20 wasn't embarrassing enough. Trump is correct though, ratings will go through the roof when he's involved. $$$ ... I can see them paying candidates to attend in the future, same as sports figures, whether they were planning on playing/winning or not. Golf is a fine example. Gladiators to the Colosseum ... nothing has changed in couple thousand years. People wonder why the world is in the state that it is.

If going to forgive loans, it has to be everyone's, not just one type. Not just borrowers either, or one sector of customers. If giving $$$ away, you need to give it to everyone, who paid taxes, as it's their money.

Yes, there's days when it produced shy of 50kWh, and could easily power 2 neighbors. In that aspect, it's mind boggling how MEA/PEA, won't work with home owners with solar systems. That's a lot of energy going to waste, as we don't export any more, since having a digital meter. Exported 8 days total I think, during our first 2 weeks, and during rainy season, best production day while doing was 49kWh, and on a krappy day, as the peaks & valley show:

Well done. On daughter adopting us, no paperwork was asked of me, except my PP. (A. Muang, PKK). Actually surprised how easy it was.

To add to my reply, since I had a triplex rental property, I'd refuse renting to someone, if it would disrupt the calm of my current tenants. One of my renters was gay / bisexual, so I certainly wouldn't rent to an anti-gay person looking to lease an open apartment if I had one. That falls under common sense, law or no law. On the reverse, if having 2 anti gay renters, I certainly wouldn't rent to a gay person, if 3rd apartment was open. For the same reason, though I can't imagine me renting to anyone anti gay, if I know beforehand. Not a fan of bigots of any type.

I didn't mention gays at all in my reply. Simply business have the right to refuse services to who ever the decide not to. In my case, I sold firearms, and didn't care if you could legally buy one or not. If I thought you were an A-hole and a danger with one, I wasn't going to sell you one. Always felt good about my decisions. Local PoPo backed my thoughts, and thanked me, when I informed them which local idiot was looking for a firearm. I have to live with me decisions, I take them seriously.

Guessing ex of Navy man, felt unsafe with new boyfriend, possibly wanting to end relationship, and asked the ex to stand by, incase of expected trouble. She made a wise choice ... ???? I had to read it twice also.

Always been in favor of businesses having the right to refuse services to who ever they wish. It's their business, it's their right, IMHO May or may not be profitable, but that's their problem. Though some of that does go against current laws. Oh well ... so be it. Let supply & demand, and the customers decide whether to frequent or use a business. Free enterprise should not be dictated who to serve ... IMHO Yes, I know, days past that was not a good thing, but this is the 21st Century, and people are more aware, and won't support what they don't believe is right. Businesses should have the same right as the customer. I'm not a Christian, Jew or Muslim, and don't believe in many aspects of their religion, but it's their right to do what they believe in. I've refused sales to people before, when I had no legal right to. But a moral obligation to myself and others.

Not familiar with it, but if accurate, of course not. But, 2 wrongs don't make a right. Sending billions in foreign aid when veterans aren't being helped properly or Americans are living on the streets, not by choice is wrong also. But not the topic ... also why I stopped producing & paying taxes. 40% of my income taxed & misspent IMHO No thanks, better places/TH to invest and not get taxed.

Does include 7 or 8 overnights w/brekkie. For cyclist, it just being, and the journey, not really the destination or another Wat on the way.

or cancelled for being sexist

Can it get any sillier ... ... new 'sun tax' to follow in the future. Making the world a better, safer place. Shading the planet will surely be studied and deemed 'safe & effective' Release of the study in 75 years ... ????

I don't know about the others, but for Cream & Clapton, surely royalties were paid. For Robert Johnson, don't know if it trickled down to him, as he doesn't even own the rights to his songs, for what ever reason: "Robert Johnson's material, recordings and songwriting, are owned by King of Spades Music USA" He possibly signed over his music rights for promotional support, as so many artists do in their early career. Johnson career was very short, and only recorded 29 songs in 2 sessions. Obviously not all penned by him. Not until after his death were they even released, I think, and he like so many, became the myth, not the legend since an early death. Recording companies dealt the recording rights and royalties, not the artist, or not until the artist takes control of their career: ... "Music royalties from Cream's recordings would have been administered by ASCAP or BMI, through the accounting of the Atlantic Records group." Clapton still doesn't produce and never did, I think. Closely overseas it of course, trusting a few long time associates/producers. But in his autobiography, he says he sucks at producing, and leaves it to the pros ???? EC did a whole album of Johnson's music, so I'm pretty sure he'd make sure royalties trickled down to the Johnson Estate. Same with his friendship and sharing music of JJ Cale. Can't ask for anything better than an artist making a hit with you song, and now you're a household name. That's priceless by itself. So man writers didn't become music artist, until the music was covered by others. Many making more money on royalties than their own career I would think.
