No they didn't, they just exaggerated the fairy tales.

I've traveled all over the world. One thing I'd learned is to keep my opinions about others religious beliefs unless directly conflicting with my personal condition to myself.

Well, at least 13 including Mary Magdalene did

????????????

To be fair covid, covid hysteria, politics post 2014 (2006), general economic malaise (2006). Tourist hordes pre covid. Visas, immigration hassles. Lots to legitimately moan about.

 

Any of it clearly better that I've simply overlooked?

 

Don't get me wrong, I'm all in but it's getting worse not better. Stop being Pollyanna's.

Not sure why you are trying to tell me what to do. I dont tell you what to do. Control issues.

You are the OP that opened this thread correct? You were clearly requesting advice.

 

Please refer back to your OP.

Thats not true. I had a woman give me massages for years. Cooked dinner, cleaned the house.

 

If a woman cant cook or give massages why bother? 

I'm certain she was a ravishing beauty with Incompétable charms.

 

Since you're such an experienced Romeo perhaps it's you that should be giving the advice?

No thanks. Mind your own business if nothing positive to add.

I'm not being snarky or trollish when I stated what I did.

 

You're not looking for a relationship you're looking for a fantasy that's obviously elluded you until this point in your life.

 

One hour massage B600

 

Nana short time B1000

 

Greasy farang grub with big soda B550

 

Hotel serviced 1 nt 850b

 

Netflix b50

 

There's your life. Enjoy.

Work effort money? That sounds like hard work for nothing.

 

 

Do yourself and especially every female you encounter a huge favor. Do not enter into any sort of relationship with them. You'll save every one a world of hurt.

Sex

Food

Massage

No drama

 

4 things

Easy. Your prostitute is waiting for you.

 

You want a relationship with a decent human being? That's work, effort, money.

 

You sound sound like a real charmer.

 

Free massages, sex, dinner on the table. Work 50 hours and never ask for money...yeah, you're a real catch.

Then Im not keen. No point having a gf who cant massage. Might as well buy a dog.

That's absurd. If you need a massage go pay 400b for a proper one. But I think you've missed the point. If the woman is good at massage she's probably had practice.

 

a) Low pay, difficult, dirty job for uneducated people.

b) She's no doubt *massaged* a lot of weiners

 

My wife often gives me a few minutes head massage after a hard day's work.

 

Maybe you ought to just stick with prostitutes. Comparing a productive person and good companion to a dog...best you get a dog humans will disappoint.

 

Kinda no wonder the question was asked in the first place with such a response.

Mos burger is 140 set. It's all fresh but the party is pork and thin. With a nice patty it would be great.

 

Weak.

 

To me burger, fries, drink is b100. I'll just eat Thai at b150 for a set.

So a hot 51kg woman is no good?

Hot. Maybe.

 

51 kg. Not so much. 555 but really, depends on height obviously.

 

My wife is 42kg. GGained only 2 kg in 12 years.

Whats the best way to avoid this?

Rent by the hour obviously.

 

Baring that...

 

Never legally marry. Good luck her sticking around when you're 79.

 

Buy condo if that's your thing before you marry.

 

Develop a deep relationship over a minimum of two years before you do marry.

 

Live together minimum of 18 months. Does she ask for or steal money? Little dramas and games?

 

Woman no more than 15 years your junior. When the gap is generational there's no anchor to the relationship.

 

She has interests: travel, history, etc 

 

You both share interests that anchor the relationship.

 

She enjoys something sporty.

 

She graduated high school, few years of university.

 

Her parents are married and are a unit.

 

She might help her family but they all work and have ambitions.

 

She doesn't have dreams or designs built on your money.

 

She has a salaried job.

 

You met via an aqaintence or in person not online and not in a bar.

 

In general, she has a sunny disposition.

 

You do not find her scheming or calculating.

 

She's clean, organized and can get up early as needs arise.

 

She has a bank account.

 

Bar girl patter, vocabulary, slang totally devoid from her speech.

 

Devoid of large tattoos. Maybe a religious tattoo or two

 

Her English is not great. In fact, kinda shi++y.

 

She might love issarn food but can compromise with you mist of the time on regular Thai food.

 

Has never had a western boyfriend or especially husband.

 

Doesn't wear clonky, issarn wood high heels.

 

Doesn't wear sexy, revealing clothes, heavy make-up.

 

Gives a bad massage.

 

Doesn't F on the first date

 

Cheap wedding, fake sin sot ok.

 

She has Thai SSO insurance or b30 card.

 

You are happy together.

 

You don't feel like an ATM and she doesn't ask for money.

 

You can spend days and weeks in each other's company and not climbing the walls.

 

You are each other's best friend.

I'd left Pattaya 15 year ago but recall reading that many of the girls were from university and managed by outside agency/ies. So, this problem is ages old.

 

I recall the women were said to generally be all business, love lady drinks and reject all offers of a bar fine.

 

Gogos were always fun for b30 draft HR and b60 bottled beer. After that I'm just not that impressed to stick around even 15 years ago when I was even more hansum than I am now

How long I should postbone my 2nd Moderna shot,I got first Moderna December 25th 2021?

If you have covid and had shot/s why do you think it's necessary? Especially when numerous reports and I think it was Pfizer CEO stated the vax are even less effective against omicron.

 

You have covid? You got the vax lol.

Is amoxillin a must take or only if the nose not stops running?For now I'm ok with Paracetamol only

Amoxicillin is pretty worthless nowadays. It's usually used for sore throat but oddly I recall it was good for an STD as well. I can't recall which.

 

Don't take antibiotics for general flu symptoms! Government is big on favirapir or some such spelling, medicine

Just hang out at home and avoid drama and costs. Take an ATK every ten days until you're clear.

 

Wife tells me unless Thais tragically unwell ALL are sent home to self qt now. Her brother was tested out at hospital, given insurance paperwork and sent home.

 

Rest, eat healthy, paracetamol and time. Don't give in to the fear.

There's lots of decent music being made. Try NPRs tiny desk and sessions farther back.

 

Yes, loads of krap too especially k/j pop. Really any pop music post 00s.

The inflation we are seeing is 10% Covid related, 20% is related to supply chain and shipping issues, and 70% is historically greedy corporate gouging during a pandemic. Many corporations complain, then announce record profits. Don't be a part of that extreme ugliness. 

I think the scarcity and inflation is almost entirely fabricated.

 

Shipping...this was entirely manufactured crisis. Months and years before Baltic Dry index was at literally record lows. Shipping companies bankrupt. Now, shortage?

 

The reserve banks inflated all the currencies AND government borrowing meant something had to give but the manner it's all occured, the phony / proxy war with Russia. It's so transparent.

 

We are living in one of those dystopian movies where the Haves have it all and the rest are living like rats in a cage.

 

Even oil. Demand is constant. Why kill off fossil fuels given current events? Insane.

 

Russia and China are aligning and bringing all their old friends to the party eg the old non-aligned nations.

 

Just another scam to reduce the number and power of us *the eaters*. After the elite have broken the eater's back's they will turn on their minions.

If your wife is Thai and there is no Thai will, the only way I'm aware of that she will automatically get the condo is if ownership is in both your names or only in hers.

I'd read here property can only be in one name.

 

I don't think this true. I think my wife's name and her father's jointly on chanote.

 

The Thai will is no big deal. I think I need to close out my position in US. Try Singapore again.

Embassy staff? Joking right.

Something that history proves to be the opposite of reality.

Tourists slowly return, Pattaya of old slowly returns.

Pattaya will never be what it was early 00s. It had been rapidly changing demographics since 2009. Chinese and Russians (Indians) in [now entirely GONE and not to return], western economies with jaded, economically troubled economies - boomers out.

 

No idea what you base your thinking on.

 

Pattaya as is is an old boomer town. This lot is old and largely out of money. No one wants to deal with the covididiocy.

 

I've long since said that Pattaya forward is reinventing itself as a bedroom community for Rayong. The dream being to develop the Easter seaboard. Not a bunch of shiftless, paupers in singlets, running shorts and flip flops chasing draft beer happy hours.
