I'm buying Monday

people who live in Phuket don't want to admit it's much worse than Pattaya.

Cause and effect. No Karma.

If that's the case why are car manufacturers panicking?

I LIKED HIM

That's what Taylor Swift said

Canada sucks!!!

for everyone waking up it was a massacre.....a bloodbath

That's because I'm like Jim Cramer.

He’s all about ‘America First’—meaning your hard-earned cash should go toward overpriced avocado toast, not some bridge in a far-off land or saving Thai bargirls from questionable Thai boyfriends while "investing" in Thai real estate. Proof. He sent the earthquake that ravaged Thailand, it left Americans and their farm wives from Pattaya in financial ruin—their investment condos reduced to rubble, their savings obliterated. He introduced devastating tariffs making the USA dollar weaker while making everything more expensive for mongering American sexpats. Banking difficulties galore and taxing foreign income to oblivion just to make your life more difficult. Biggly upcoming change to social security will be that unless you live in USA you will not be eligible. See ya in Allahfrickinbama

it always recovers after pre market

This weekend, I’ll be dragged back to Australia—that overpriced, overtaxed nanny state where freedom goes to die. Another year, another failed escape. Retirement? Not happening. Not after Lopburi, where I was assaulted and left with nothing but indifference. Justice doesn’t exist here, just like it doesn’t back *home*. Woke up early in this shoebox Airbnb in Jomtien—21 square meters of suffocation. Sure, it has a gym and a long pool, but what’s the point? The Grand Dusit (what a pretentious name) looms nearby, a sad reminder of better-funded delusions. Ten minutes to the Rompho markets, where the same faces sell the same crap to the same lost souls. Lying here, staring at the ceiling, it hits me: *This is it.* This is the grand expat dream? Wake up. Gym. Pool. Then… what? Rot in a concrete cell until the heat or boredom kills you? The rose-tinted crowd makes it sound so magical—*Oh, I had a massage, a swim, a lovely breakfast!* How thrilling. How hollow. Day after identical day, until the monotony grinds you into dust. And the single old men—god, they’re pitiful. Waking up alone in some rented coffin, scrambling for purpose. No routine, no real connections. Just barstool philosophers and bookshop ghosts, none of whom would lift a finger unless you paid them. Even the vices lose their charm. The bar girls? Now a luxury—2000 baht a pop, plus drinks, plus fines. The tourist budget dries up fast when you live here, leaving you trapped in your cell most nights, counting baht instead of living. Five months in (not six, because who cares about precision anymore?), the illusion shatters. Pattaya isn’t paradise. It’s a gilded cage for the desperate. The rose-colored glasses crack, and all that’s left is the truth: You traded your old life for this. And now there’s no way back.

I thought it was bitcoin

Trump wants money to be spent in the USA. He will not cut social security, but he can certainly cut it to those not living in USA. We may see a lot of poor Yanks soon.

no kids is the best policy

yea....getting kicked in the head

After a violent incident in Lopburi, the author returns to Pattaya feeling depressed and exhausted. A visit to a Thai doctor offers happiness pills, which they refuse. Frustrations mount—a misleading Bolt car ride injures their back, and a walk through Soi 6 only deepens their loneliness as they feel ignored. With one week left before returning to Australia, they describe overwhelming sadness, disillusionment with Pattaya’s transactional culture, and a sense of isolation, vowing never to return. The post ends with a desperate plea: "What’s wrong with me?"

I can see it already The Hub of Earthquake-Resistant Condos: Innovative Living for Seismic Safety

looks good

Even better, do the same on his arms and body. Oh, wait....

And who made you the expert? All I see is severe Thailand bootlicking from your posts.

Do you think these "volunteer engineers" will show up with their cell phone, take a few pics with Lumpini cleaning staff and proclaim "nothing worry"?

Strange comment. Do you want to be a Russian prostitute? Obviously, a third world country like Thailand will enable all kind of illegal activity as long as there is someone else benefiting from it.

no. Do you need a license to be a volunteer engineer?

Thats every person on this forum . Did you apply? What a joke lol
