Indian Gang Violence in Pattaya Sparks Public Concern [Video]
I'm thinking of getting one made and walking around in a suit all day. The first thing I will do is enjoy a fine curry.

I'm planning to stay in Thailand over 6 months. Would Thai government try to tax me?
I think that's only if you are a citizen. If you are just on a visa I think they can only deport. I could be wrong though. If it happened in the USA I think you would just get deported if you were not a citizen of the country. Again, I'm not a lawyer, just my opinion.

Unless you have ties here just don't pay. If they push the issue the worst that would happen is you would have to leave the country, as long as you don't have an account here. So have a plan B.

Several neighbouring countries compete with Thailand for foreign retirees
I hardly complained at all when I lived back in the Usa. I kind of just understand things there better. If there is a problem, I know why it's a problem. The way things were. Probably the same with Thai's who don't complain here.

URGENT: What kind of Beer is Best just after multiple Tooth Extraction?
Don't drink alcohol for at least a week. It can dislodge the blood clot forming and the hole won't heal properly. It's called 'dry socket' and is very painful. You also risk having to go back into the dentist and them working on the open wound again.

Why open a beer bar?
Yes, that's why they insist on those long term leases, 3 years or whatever. They know most bars will fail then they try getting the money from the bar sale to cover the lease. If the place is re-rented they just pocket the money and do a new lease.

I got a top end bike. I don't like cheap bikes. I would also pay 75 cents for a beer instead of the usual 50 cents if I liked the place.

Brazil Travel Report
I hardly got laid at all when I lived in Mexico (like months without). The local females were very reserved with an uncanny ability to avoid you. For some reason the males were basically approachable and outgoing. I know a guy who lives in Colima (just South of Puerto Vallarta) who leans gay. He says that Mexico and probably a lot of the South American area in general is geared towards "men doing things with other men". The females kind of keep to themselves in their own groups unless it's a family household.

Why open a beer bar?
I'm pretty sure the cafe guy was gay. He was pretty effimate. Was trying some mix between business partner and sex/relationship thing, probably. Never got that far. That's one good thing about the language barrier. I don't hear that BS much simply because they can't explain it in english and don't bother. If they do, it's just a dumb simple request and not a long drawn out attempt.

Why open a beer bar?
I went into a cafe today. Some Thai guy who spoke decent English was running it. He started talking about the economy etc. Finally led to a discussion about finances and how he was looking for a business partner. Was looking to move the shop, few customers etc since covid. He was basically looking for someone to contribute money to an endeavor that was not profitable as it stood. Kind of sad. If something is not working out either downsize until a profit is realized or move on. It's just a waste of money to keep throwing money at something that's not making money. I also realized (after I left) that he was just dropping his problem on me (psychologically) by telling me all of it. It was not my problem. I hope he got some relief. Whomever is reading this I pass this BS onto you. Good luck 😆.

Man Bitten by Snake As He Uses Toilet
I bet this guy is looking every time now. Probably flushes twice for life and checks it, or maybe he is dumping outside now where he can see what's on the ground with no hole.

I rented a mountain bike in town ($5 I think) and just biked up that long road to the temples, got a ticket at the enterance and biked around. No guide, and was alone most of the time. The guides typically take you only to the main temple route. I also got some exercise which was nice instead of being driven everywhere.

I saw some lady from Spain or Portugal at the restaurant recently. She was knock out gorgeous. Must have been early 20's. I did a double take thinking she was Thai but she speaking something that sounded like Spanish or Portugese. I don't think she was considered exceptional in her home country, just the norm. Agree 100%. Maybe I will see you around when I return. Lived there for a year, but left just before Covid hit but going back. Small city. I have been getting a feeling like Cambodia may change the easy visa, I'm not sure why though, just a feeling. It seems "too easy".

That's actually a good idea. Can I just show up at the airport and claim those benefits, or do I need to arrive by sea? How much are the cash payments? Is there a waiting period? 🤣

There are some people who do repay it back later. If you're getting a lot of people who don't return loans the problem could be you. In other words, you're not judging people correctly or do not understand their ability to repay the loan.- 50,000 baht request from Thai long time friend.
Ok, but don't dwell on your problems. It's just like asking. Maybe mention it once then that's it. Maybe even only if they ask about your situation. Otherwise they feel guilty about not helping out. - Teenager Stabs Foreign Man in Road Rage Incident Near Pattaya
