It’s not really warm, it’s humid, sweaty and hot. ????????‍♂️ Warm would be like Tahiti or Hawaii.

All money related ????

1. Loud Thais. Mostly females. 2. Lying or giving misleading info. Not manning up. 3. Hot humid weather. 4. I’m never left alone. Always people around bothering or watching over me. Security guards and maids watching my coming and going each time. I call it hovering. 5. Can’t buy property and live alone there.

It’s a bit hard to hold the deposits in escrow when they need that money to build the place.

This is typical “triangulation” stuff I see so often in Thailand. You need to decide if it’s your problem or not right from the beginning. The problem you may get involved with is not limited to that one person. It’s intertwined with other people or even businesses stretching way out who will basically try to suck money from you. Maybe a good solution is not to try and fix the massage shop problem, but open a new business and activity you can run together.

You’re weak

Running out of money solves the problem real quick.

Hi everyone, does anyone know if tahiti has a retirement visa and the qualifications? What’s the cost for a bungalow there?

Why do you need someone there for dinner if that’s all your looking for?

Not again ????

Somebody did not need it, not everybody ????

Thanks, I will avoid the pool when groups are in session. Lots of Europeans here.

Lots of guys leave because the mother is over demanding. They can’t take it anymore and bail. You just never hear the other side of the story. Typically communication is cut off and the mother does not want the kids and the dad in touch. If asked they won’t talk about it or refuse to discuss what happened. the mother ends up still controlling the kid and father by restricting access and phone calls. sometimes they will reconnect in later life and it’s like, huh, never thought of that, he had real reasons but I always thought he was just some awful dude for leaving for no reason.

Forget Mexican in Bangkok you get runs at the border you dog

You’re responding because it’s you hanging on. They are likely sensing that you’re still interested so are calling again. Not many people want to just go on dinner dates and nothing else, if that’s what you’re really after. More likely, you are doing the dinners but are afraid of commitment or intimate stuff, so just back off. If you’re not interested it does not really matter if they message or not, it just gets erased or ignored and you move on.

Why do you feel you have to respond if they are irritating you? Do you feel you owe them something after the dinner? If they are too pushy they are not for you, esp if you’re not looking for casual sex. You just don’t respond if it bothers you. If your not interested there is no second date! The western idea of explaining to all your dates why you do or do not wish to proceed so they “learn from the experience” does not apply here. Any interaction is seen as continued interest. Once your gone they meet someone the next day and forget you altogether. One or two dates, not a big deal. People get over it.

I have never had guys sitting around in a jacuzzi in the states. They might do that if it was a sports sauna or a team or something, but it would be unusual to do casually in someone’s residence without females present. Couples jacuzzis are common, but not just guys. Ion that situation the guys would not be close together, would be uncomfortable otherwise. Assuming it’s not a gay meet of course. is it common for Europeans to swim together or do male only saunas? Feels weird to me, but I think they do them in Russia and other cold countries.

One thing I won’t inherit from my father is a cue ball. Family has hair right up to the end on my fathers side. I did inherit some strange mannerisms though, like using clothes pins to secure bags of food and chips or close curtains. I look back and see my father in those small strange things.

Im a troll please silence me

How about that fancy brewery right north of treetown on soi buttkauw? Feels like I would not get a flat beer there maybe, but can never bring myself to pay 300 baht for a beer when there are so many 60 baht beer places around there. Always think I’ll get lucky ????????‍♂️. (sorry if I mis spelled the street name or don’t know the exact name of the place for the snobs on here that want everything perfect. It’s ok, just relax).

I don’t drink in agogos. I forgot to mention in my comment that I do drink draft streetside or those local bar setups that pop up or open in the evening and the beer is always great. Places where Thai people would go. They are on 3rd/2nd road or whatever that road is there. There’s one right outside the Riviera in Jomtein. No flat beers there. Where I avoid draft (and even suspicious of open bottles occasionally now) are the foreigner oriented bars and especially those small foreigner restaurant setups that sell English breakfasts, etc.

Isn’t France more expensive?

Not the same guy, but I saw a group of guys in the pool one night. They were all standing there talking and “bobbing up and down” in the water. Seemed pretty strange. In a circle maybe 2 feet personal space between them. Just old expats in the building. Maybe it’s a European thing. In the USA guys don’t approach one another in the pool. It’s a little too personal, and never that close. That’s not for me Lol.

I stopped getting draft. It always tastes flat.
