Old men drinking a beer at breakfast time in bars along beach road pattaya.
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.

Good and reputable dental clinic in North Pattaya
What I do is just go in for cleanings until I find a good dentist. That’s the interview. Fortunately, they are cheap to do. They act different with different people so I don’t think there is really just a good dentist. I went to a place last time and the dentist dropped the sharp instrument on my face. Lucky it did not fall on my eye. I did not go back for more serious work later. One thing I look for is the cleaning being rushed at all. That’s what I avoid. You don’t want someone who is rushed drilling on your tooth.

Recent visit by immigration. No prior calling and didn't have to sign anything
Not really. People have their own lives. Plenty of opportunity to communicate with neighbors out by the pool or in other venues without having people know exactly which unit I’m in. It’s called setting boundaries on the personal life and not being an open book, something that has served me well. I extend it out to money matters as well. I don’t give out financial info, stuff on assets, etc. Look at that guy that got chopped up. Chances are they knew everything about the guy and he was an open book not keeping his mouth shut.

visa required
The USA uses the e-visa website to apply. Pretty easy. Just register, upload documents and print out the visa online. Pay with your card. What’s the problem?

Typical Farang. Wifebeater, overweight, unshave, flip flops, tattoed at the ATM
Learn to not have sex all the time. Delay gratification awhile. It builds character and gives you an edge as a man. Being in a constant state of sexual satiation turns you into an unmotivated sponge. That’s why fighters don’t have sex during training or before fights.

Pattaya - Has anyone done the 50k photo verification yet? if so which bank and branch?
Great. So who cares? Use your laptop. Would do that probably anyway for large transactions.

My new Thai gf (35/f) invited me (42/m) to visit her family in Isaan after < 1 month of dating? I feel uncomfortable but agreed. What do you think?
If you’re afraid of her father I don’t recommend starting the relationship at all.

I say nothing to neighbors and avoid them if possible. Anything can be misinterpreted.

It’s possible to date above you, not below you. What that means is your reaching for people to date that are more wealthy then you. It is possible.

Strange Ears Problem
I had a constant problem with itching down into the ear and pain when pulling on the earlobe, etc. Pharmacy gave me some anti-fungal drops. Not sure if they worked, as the problem kept re-occurring. It was from putting my head under water in the condo pool! Fungus or bacteria in the water. Started using the pool with head always above water. No problems since. Some of the pools are not cleaned properly and widely used so be aware.
