Not illegal. Just pitiful.

Maybe she didnt like you?

You could save even more money by meeting/going out with the girls on Thaifriendly who are not prostitutes. So many beautiful single girls in Thailand, really only the losers who have to pay.

More likely to die on the roads going there.

Try reading the article. It will help with your confusion. He says all nightlife venues in the area have now been ordered to close by 1.00am, meaning businesses have taken a significant financial hit in the past week. Why not name the country where this foreigner is from?

You come from a country where you are allowed to come to Thailand without having to apply for a visa with all the costs that comes with it. Jump on a plane and arrive today if you choose. Yes or no? Can a Thai go to your country without a visa? Or must they travel to your embassy in Bangkok, which for many is hundreds of miles away from where they live, fill out a bunch of stupid forms about their living circumstances, bank accounts, then have an interview and pay a whole lot of non refundable application fees in the hope they might be "approved". Impossible to go to the pool if they are not even allowed entry into your country. YT complaining about "discrimination" over $10 is pretty pathetic. What are you doing about the discrimination of Thais by your country? Zilch. I can go to your country without a visa. My Thai friends cant. Is that discrimination not worse? We are allowed to come over here and live and work if we choose. Just show up on a tourist visa and take it from there. Thais are discriminated against and have no such rights or options. The other good thiing about Thailand is they have many airports. If you dont like it you can leave any time you want.

I am lazy to cook, but owned a restaurant 20 years ago with a Malaysian chef. An authentic laksa made by a authentic Malay you cant beat. I have had a couple of Thai made ones, but nothing like the real thing. I think a lot of posters here think of "stew" as something there mum made back in the 50's. They didnt make the list.

I think you will be safe mate. Marrying Issan girls and building them houses in the sticks and looking after their families isnt really the done thing with the Chinese tourists. Mostly Brits and European single males who are into all that where you will find quite a few up that way. Especially the four provinces that border Cambodia, Ubon, Sri Saket, Surin and Buriram with the darker skin that the Chinese dont desire. Farang jai dee.

That would be baby eggplant Thailand got a total of 6 out of the top 50. Go Thailand. https://www.tasteatlas.com/50-best-rated-stews-in-the-world

Bars, boiler rooms etc

Well, considering that the Brits make up the highest percentage of sex tourists in Pattayas bars and brothels, as well as quite a high number of the pimps, including the biggest "group" in soi 6 with 700 prostitutes I think it is understandable. It is pretty ugly to see. Russians mostly dont come here to take advantage of the impoverished poorer classes of young women. Just here to enjoy the sun and shopping with their often extended families. And Russians have never done a thing to my country. But the Brits invaded and "colonised" us.

Number 1 and number 8 in the world. That will throw the many posters here who can only complain about all things Thai. Be interesting to see how they try to negatively spin this around. Thailand is the best country in the world to live in and the delicious cheap food is a big plus. Personally I would rate the Malay Coconut Curry Laksa as my favorite and considering the close proximity it surprises me that you rarely see it here.

I agree with you but it wont happen. Thaksin dragged millions out of poverty and they love him for it. He will win like he has won every election for the last 20 years.

Give me Russians over Brits anyday. Met many Russians I have liked. i cant think of any Brits i even half liked. I asked one yesterday why he wasnt at home fighting for his country? He answered "Because ukraine isnt my country"

They will win this election like they have everyother election for the last 20 years. If Prayut can not "convince" the others to join him with his 250 free senate votes like last time they will find an excuse for another coup. Thai style Democrazy

were you on a footpath or walking on the road?

sorry if I intimidated you. I subscibe to the theory of say it how it is.

Yes for farang sickos. By mostly drug addicted or indebted girls from Issan. I have never been to a Thai pub/show/whatever with ping pong shows. Only for Fatty Farang.

Agree, which is why so many of the bargirls are mental messes. Many women lose it after a single sexual assault. The bar girls do it for a living for years. Cant be good. And then we have the farang males who for whatever reason can not get a girl in real life then marrying these damaged women kidding themselves that they are "rescuing" them from a life of sex work and abuse, when all is they are are doing is priviiticing them for a lifetime of sex work and abuse. Sickos.

Well, slave away in the 35 degree sun for hours. Or cruise around on my hotted up bike chasing the skinny and quite often promiscous girls? Are you going to get out in the fields to help with the labour shortage?

Harden up mate. You would be whinging more if you had to pay an electrician in the west $90 per hour and a $150 call out fee. Get Somchai to take a look. Not worth risking your life over a 500 baht job.

By that post it sounds like you are the hater. Hater of Thailand.

nah, if an aggressive idiot has been annoying everyone for three days he needed to be pulled into line. I dont care where he is from. If I was there I would have warned him first and then taken care of it. The Thai who tapped him did everyone a favor.

With a name like Robert, he most likely is descendant of the uninvited immigrants that showed up in boats and unfortunately took over Australia. We should never have let them in. Thailand should not have let him in looking like that.

Rubbish. In the past when I have taken care of trouble makers in a similar fashion I always have made a quick getaway. Smart thing to do. Avoid the hassle of arrest, fines and a longer criminal record. Aussie idiot got his right whack. When you are a guest in another country you dont go around starting trouble with the hosts because you cant handle your grog.
