  1. Or they find Thai people annoying.
  2. I was in an upscale chocolate/sundae place one day in Bangkok and a large group started slowly filtering in. Apparently, it was an expat meetup that day. As I watched the group it felt kind of weird though and not natural. Like people did not know what to say really. One guy came in and announced "I'm an expat!" and left after about 5 minutes of small talk 🤣. I thought of joining in but it felt weird to me so I never did. I don't like large groups like that just meeting for the first time. Feels to contrived and also makes me nervous because it feels like I'm expected to play a role or say the right things. Like someone mentioned above, I think you need an activity in common to focus on like biking, exercise or whatever to make it easier. So my answer to the Op is do what you enjoy doing and talk to other people you meet doing those things. If everything you enjoy is solo, you may not want to meet people at all. 🤷🏻‍♂️
  3. It's owned by who is in possession, so it would be the banks. A receipt is irrelevant, they could never make one. So, if the cash is in the ATM tray it's on the banks premises and in the banks care and possession, especially if it had been counted by the ATM and was being processed. If it were just sitting on the ledge of the machine it's still the customers responsibility. The amount would need to be confirmed before they deposited the money, not after they handed the money over. Just like giving money to a grocery clerk or bank teller, you can't demand it back unless they agree to return it. Like at a casino where they count in front of you at the cashier. You can disagree with the count, but you can't demand the money back, it's in their possession. In this case it looks like the ATM agreed to not accept the money because the depositor did not confirm. However, no response is not a confirmation either way. The money was still the banks. The money should have been accepted, then the depositor would need to dispute later on if it was deemed incorrect.
  4. He paid for the connecting flight and never arrived.
  5. I'm not familiar with the deposit machines, but every ATM I use returns the card at the end of the transaction, not before.
  6. They have real Budweiser at the Big C with the import duty label attached. Never seen Coors here though. Nothing like having a real USA beer once in awhile. Brought back memories and improved my mood. It's the stuff I grew up on.
  7. Breakdown in society. People stop following rules and laws because they don't respect the leadership. Crime and unruly behavior increases. Losing and disbanding is different. People still respect a loss.
  8. I wonder what the cause of death was? Need an autopsy to be sure it wasn't suicide.
  9. Don't worry. He'll come back with a great retort, I'm sure.
  10. I was not talking about bars or hookers, but society in general. I am on my last turn at mid 50's. A lot of guys pass away in their 60's-70's.
  11. Pubic hair is so 70's.
  12. You're a man, cumming & going, getting off, getting hard...
  13. Especially if you're buzzed or drunk walking out of a bar.
  14. If you're not cumming, you might as well be going.
  15. Why don't you stop posting so much. You wrote four novels up above and taking up too much room on the thread.
  16. Fruits (pun not intended, but appreciated) are big in prison, for reasons you may not realize. Some guys enjoy working in the kitchen because it gives them access to all kinds of food which they sell to other inmates (for reasons which are not always dietary). If some fruit (pun intended) gives you food in prison you better trust him 100% or do a good inspection. You never know what it has been used for and why they want to get rid of it.
  17. No, it's a disposable sleeve, like a sock with liquid inside. He breaks off one end and goes at it. Similar to a pocket pussy.
  18. Stop babbling and tell us what you think!
  19. Wrong. There's always a Thai person in the way no matter what you do. If it needs to be chucked, get out of the way!
  20. If the food sucks, chuck it. Makes sense to me.
  21. When I say nomadic I mean one month stays, not years. I typically won't buy appliances in one month stays unless it's essential (like a floor fan or a hot water kettle). I do have a nice french press that I carry with me. It get's old quick. I may need to do another 6-month contract soon. A year is too long to be tied down though. I did stay at once place that did not have a microwave or oven (see post above) which was a bummer. Got some meals heated at the 7-11. I figured every place has a microwave, right? Who lives without a microwave? Wrong. 🤣 They were not cheap either (20k baht a month), just not well furnished.
  22. If you have a nomadic lifestyle you may not want to buy appliances constantly. So my 7-11 comment was relevant. A lot of places don't have the appliances I need especially airbb's. I can't take them with me when I move and I don't like furnishing other people's rentals.
