  1. Moved to another country you mean?
  2. I thought Colin Neil passed away???
  3. It's probably easier to do it yourself, unless you get real lucky. 🤷🏻‍♂️
  4. Politics is almost never discussed here. Wearing the hat is taboo.
  5. See all those businesses that lay a mat over the metal grill on the sidewalk? (especially massage shops). That's open sewer, not rain drains. They are trying to block the smell.
  6. You probably need to goto a top place in bangkok where the good doctors are. You will need to pay more to get someone who knows what they are doing and save that tooth. Otherwise, you end up like one of those old guys in pattaya at the bar with missing teeth and some quack dentist thinking they know how to do implants.
  7. Or, they could really be straight now and are in a gay closet! 🤣 You are playing head games. Accept who you are at the moment no matter what others think and don't try to get into other people's heads.
  8. Haha! I have two main molars now with root canals and crowns that work fine. In both cases, a dentist told me there was no hope and to pull them! Occured with different dentists, years apart in different countries. Be careful who you listen to! Do movie stars have missing teeth?
  9. They had straight relationships earlier in life, so it's not fair to say they were always gay. Not "coming out of the closet", but just changing.
  10. I have two family members that became gay and we just never talked about it. There was no 'discussion'. They just showed up with their partner one day and we either 'got it' or we didn't. Being adults, we got the hint. Even decades later it's never discussed. The partner is just treated as another family member. Although there is some underlying 'weirdness' there I don't think a verbal discussion would solve anything.
  11. It looks like she tried to leave the building and area and the guard followed her outside and accosted her. No wonder she smacked him. He deserved it. If there is a problem all the guard should do is call police.
  12. Pulling teeth does not take long.
  13. The specialists are usually driving in from Bangkok. You can take the bus from north pattaya bus station to bkk for only 140 baht. It's not that bad a trip, maybe 2 1/2 hrs. I actually started going there and coming back the same day for my dental work. It's not that bad. I get there, have my work done, then hit a bar for beers, then return via Ekkamai bus station which is right on the skytrain station. https://rrcticket.com/customer/ticket/SelectRoute/?lang=en_US&_=0.6876152099532564
  14. 'On Death & Taxes' A Novel by Jacob Rothschild. With a forward by Aleister Crowley & Special Guest Editor, Avi the Church Mouse.
  15. I noticed that dogs are much more aggressive to foreigners when there are Thai's around watching. The dogs know foreigners will shy away from an attack with Thai's around because foreigners don't feel comfortable attacking the dog, thinking it's someone's pet. They can sense that hesitation. Get me into an open field with some jeans and boots on and not a peep to be found.
  16. Bark really loudly. Who taught you that one, Einstein?
  17. Who wants to everyday carry a baton every time you go out? I guess you could do it in problem areas, but it's a hassle to do all the time, especially if you have a cell phone and a wallet as well. Same with pepper spray, do you want to worry about it sitting down to eat or having a beer? Maybe one of those sonic shriekers would do the trick. They are crazy loud and would scare off anything, especially dogs with sensitive hearing. Not illegal.
  18. Throw a rock at it, and like someone said don't turn your back to it or move towards it, just stand there and keep throwing things. Back away slowly facing the dog until you are out of it's territory. That's a barking dog. A loud dog is not a very dangerous dog. If it's a vicious attack then you place your hands behind you, like you are handcuffed, and kick with your legs and feet. Let it come to you, don't chase it or attack. Don't let it bite your arms and hands. If you had long pants on, and hopefully closed toe shoes and not beach sandals, you are very lucky. Much easier then wearing shorts and they can smell fear from a bare leg.
  19. I have been thinking about that as I get older. One thing I'm starting to realize is that it won't be that easy to move when I'm elderly. They could also easily increase the income or deposit needed. That's a main reason why I'm considering Mexico permanent residency. At least I will have the option of staying where I am no matter what happens. Also, in my 70's/80's I figure it won't matter much where I am. Most people that age stay at home the majority of the time.
  20. I always get a price before ordering either on a menu, wall sign or verbally. It also lets me see what drinks are available. I don't like negotiations after ordering. If you don't do it, don't complain about prices later on.
