Most ALL Thai barber shops do shaving as well. Real good close shaves with a proper razor too. If you have "designer stubble" rather than a beard, buy an electric razor on lazada or shopee and DIY.

How can you possibly make that observation when car windows are tinted so dark, you can't see inside? I bought two car child seats for each of my youngsters here in Thailand. I had to "import" the first one as they were unknown back then. The second one was bought in Central where by that time, they had a big choice. I am sure they weren't selling them only to responsible foreigners. In both instances, about eight years apart, we had no issues using them at all. The kids accepted it as normal with very few complaints and those few complaints were due to hunger, tiredness or a full diaper, same as kids everywhere. Just to say that responsible parenting isn't a lost art. You cannot make that judgement solely based on your personal experience. As for castigation of a younger generation just because they're different from your older generation...

Wasn't it ever? I was working south of Haiphong back in the early 90's when the police started to really enforce this law. They succeeded by pulling over and relentlessly beating the helmetless motorcyclists. And I mean a real beating with thick bamboo canes. Somehow, I can't see the RTP beating up anybody. Suffocating with a bin bag maybe but beating with sticks and clubs?

In a recent forum poll asking, "Why did you choose to retire in Thailand?", the option of "To set an example to the locals" wasn't even offered.

yes, they are way more capable of learning than you are of insulting them

Getting closer, but nothing to with the locals learning anything. It's more about the hot-and-bothered foreigners posting on these 'road carnage' threads, learning about and appreciating the causality of karma.

You are not new here, so stop bleating about irresponsibility, awareness, education or laziness. It has nothing to do with it.

Now, now @PJ71, there's no need to make a post that will only end up in you being accused of projecting by some other forum member.

And you know this how?

While others focus on the victim and the alleged deeds of the miscreant. Fair enough.

I love a good stretch first thing in the morning too.

...for the extremely vile person that he is. There, finished it for you.

You would have nothing to post a comment about? Where's my prize?

Ooooohhh....how very, very scientific.

The fad that's grinding my gears right now is this madness about getting an enhanced lip pucker but only in the middle of the upper lip. Some look nice but most look like a cold sore waiting to break out. Bloody awful IMHO.

My ex-wife had a boob job for the reasons the OP's GF gave. It did make her feel better about herself. Also, their notion that clothing hangs or fits better is relevant, but that's something that the average bar-trawling farang in singlet and cargo shorts has no idea about. My current (and final) wife also had a boob job after our first-born totally buggered up those 'perfect' little titties she had. She's happy and I'm happy. Both of them went to one of the best or highly recommended clinics in Bangkok and both refused the recommendations to get something bigger or 'more full' and the results were 'perfect' bigger titties.

They give better head. Or so I've been told.

Probably why the Korean president proclaimed martial law the other night.

I have heard Labradors are pretty good.

Since I never suggested that, what's to think about?

Savanakhet does require proof of financials. Less onerous than an in-country extension or a Non-O from your homeland, but still a requirement.

Biden pardoned his worthless, law-breaking son, even going as far as to call his prosecution a miscarriage of justice. The venality and hubris is thick on BOTH sides but he Democrat leadership deserves the ire of the people, not the Republican leadership. Trump abusing his presidential powers to pardon criminals should never have meant it's OK for Biden to pardon his. Biden previously went on record as saying he would NEVER issue a pardon for Hunter. Now he's a bitter old loser with a fragile ego, just like his nemesis, who doesn't give a damn how this flip-flop shades his already sh!t party.

Hear that? That's the sound of dick crying.

I enjoyed visiting the US on my American employer's training courses in the '80's. I had an idea that I would like to live and work there. Ten years later, my aspirations were fulfilled and I really enjoyed it for about another ten years, making money, buying a home getting engaged but still traveling the world for my work. Then my new employer wanted me to "relocate" full-time and fly a desk from head office. That lasted less than six months and I quit. Admittedly, the salary cut was a factor (no more international travel bonuses or per diem and more taxes) but honestly, I was getting weary of the great American way of the commute to the dreary 9-to-5 and living for the weekends but also more weary of my fellow workers and peers that seemed happily trapped in that cycle. Okay, so maybe they were simply working hard for their bit of their American dream, be it a boat on the lake or a cabin in the country or putting the kids through college, but it all seemed a bit shallow and superficial and frankly unrewarding to me. Great place to visit, with so many unique things to see and amazing things to do, but I wouldn't want to live there again. Now, with the extremely polarised political lay of the land, even with a home that I own there, I don't plan an visiting for a while.

Yeah, but you ain't the POTUS (for which we are eternally grateful).
