that I do. I hardly ever smile. bob.

I speak Thai. bob.

Like I said, everyone's situation is unique. there are those that have many male thai friends. for me it seems no matter how social I am they just aren't interested.. bob.

...ever been a member of a moo baan community line group before?? goodness me.. bob.

if there's one thing thai men love to do it's talk behind someone's back. it's perfected to a science here.. bob.

I'd up my game. if you can't beat em, join em! bob.

Thai women pay me out all the time. bob.

Thanks for your input, charlie. that still doesn't answer the question of why are thai women more open than thai men to friendships with foreigners. I personally think there is a lot more to it than just the language barrier.. bob.

.. what is the deal with thai men? why are they so reluctant to form a friendship with farangs? 99% of the thai men that I meet seem to have some kind of social barrier when it comes to farang men... what are the reasons for this? I find it very perplexing.. Are they scared of us? Intimidated by us? think they are bigger/better than us? or do they just not like us?? I know that some people may have thai male friends but after many years living here i have precisely zero thai male friends. I have many lady friends. and if it all comes down purely to 'cultural differences', then why are the women much more open to talking to/befriending western men? This I find very strange indeed. bob.

It's not a full page replica, it's a stamp. doesn't matter if it's a paper visa or a stamp visa, it is still a visa with the same visa number! bob.

Yes they are. I had my NON O visa transferred to my new passport a few years ago when my old one expired. This was done by the IO at immigration in Thailand. I do not need my old passport to either travel or extend my stay. bob.

why are you giving out factually incorrect information??? bob.

come on, let's be honest, we've all done it!! bob.

Pattaya is and always will be a dump. The only thing that will change is it will become an even bigger dump! Same goes for Phuket. bob.

....I thought this kind of behavior was par for the course in the perverts paradise? bob.

reputation* bob.

Make America Great Again. bob.

They been saying this since I first came here!! bob.

what's cliche about it then? isn't it factual that the thai government is attempting to transform pattaya into a more family friendly destination? bob.

My god. Just when you think they can't do anything weirder they go and top it! This place is mental. bob.

Well that's not very hard to do, is it? The UK only has one decent beach. bob.

Let's Make America Great Again! bob.

who? bob.

Face is everything here folks! nothing else matters. well, maybe money. bob.

Laces is a bit confused... bob.
