No, @johnnybangkok simply suggested that you either chose to lurk in <deleted>holes or you are trolling. I reckon it's a bit of both.

Rice is the equivalent of the potato to (most) white folks squatting in Thailand. Cooked potatoes don't keep well outside the fridge and even when refrigerated, better to consume the next day. Our tribe also keep the cooked rice from the night before in the cooker, but anyone using it for breakfast or brunch gives it the careful sniff test first. Otherwise, it's binned by midday. Being in Isaan, our Yai makes the khaoniao (sticky) rice fresh every morning before the rest of the house rises and that's pretty good for all day use if the lid is kept on the bamboo pots.

Me too, but I honestly didn't enjoy the Thailand work nearly as much as the gigs in Vietnam, Malaysia and Myanmar. Maybe because Thailand was where I came home to from 'overseas' work? For me, working while living in Thailand wasn't so rewarding, both professionally and financially.

I worked here for 30 years, did very well, thank you! But it is possible that if you had worked somewhere other than Thailand, you would be (at least) 5baht, no?

Only if you have to sleep in the wet spot.

In Thailand, the media has NO strategy other than ensuring they don't rock the boat or tread on any important toes.

"most Thai"? You been busy doing one of your nationwide polls again?

I recall it used to be fun and games when you were assailed by such people, engaging them in eager conversation just long enough to catch them in their own lies. Life's too short for that game these days. Whenever an opinionated sort thinks it's his righ to bend my ear and to see things as they see them, I simply let my eyes glaze over and quietly turn on my white noise generator. It's one of the best gadgets I ever bought on lazada.

You really should give up on Lotus's and do your shopping at Big C. You'll find a much better class of farang stuff strutter there and far fewer muppets.

You need to stop thinking bob, you're rubbish at it.

Triggered.

He could return with a gun or machete though, not at all uncommon when a Thai male has his ego bruised or something taken from him that he thinks he's entitled to. You'd be well advised to keep that in mind. But the OP's probably taken good advice and changed the locks several times already, so the kid can fire his gun or wave his machete around in the yard for as long as he wants. The OP will be safely locked up inside the house.

Was that the one that (almost?) won POTY? Or was there another dodgy sort?

Since when has frugality and sartorial inelegance been a metric for assessing a person's character or mental health?

I will wait for the chap who recently complained here about being unable to exchange his bin bags for food in a 7-eleven to comment on what's a sustainable income.

I am sooooooo busted!

Really? How far apart are these bar stools?

Here's another. You have your valid UK passport with a valid visa or extension for long-term stay in Thailand, valid proof of residence in Switzerland, a valid Swiss DL, proof of your local, Thai address and some cash. Now go and get your Thai DL.

None. True, and the OP has a valid reason. Not a showstopper.

If you read the OP, it doesn't say the GF (THE MOTHER) wants her farang BF (THE OP) to do the kicking out either. He (and YOU) assume that it his responsibility where in reality, it is very, very far from it.

When it is NOT my house and NOT my sibling then no, I won't be locking anything. Hope you didn't hold your breath.

Still relishing being the bar fly, eh? YNTGOM

Argued and explained over four years ago. Do try and keep up.

Where does this prim suggestion of someone "mounting" someone else come from? Sounds like bible-speak to me.

I am not knocking America or Americans, just stating the facts. It may be due to individual states, counties and municipalities having the freedoms to enact their laws as well as the federal laws. I am not sure if it has anything to do with people that "don't belong" or the abuses of the rich and the powerful, but someone in Massachusetts thought that consenting adults sleeping together naked in a hotel was so heinous that it needed legislating against. Back on topic, a branch of 7-eleven being unable to allow goods to be exchanged rather than refunded is a very, very poor metric for assessing convenience store customer service, let alone the whole nation's hospitality. But well done to the OP for wringing a 13-page Thai bash out of his weird, personal shopping experience (if it ever happened).
