When I came into the country more than 2 decades ago I settled with my wife in Northern Thailand. I loved it there. Going with my bike beautiful trails through rice fields or jungle, exploring waterfalls, trying to meet an elephant (never happened). Climbing up some hills and enjoyed the view across the river up to Myanmar. After Christmas we went to Doi Inthanon, on the way picking sweet strawberries from the fields. On top of the mountain it was exciting to see the temperature: minus 8 centigrade. Sure, we were freezing. It was all white in the early morning hours. The sun touched the white rime into a glittering sea of diamonds. We enjoyed these days. However, after moving to Chiang Mai it was not just next door anymore. All the years between up to now we asked friends over there what are the temperature on top of Doi Inthanon? And since you can follow that on Internet it makes it easier. Nowadays we have temperatures just around Zero. So, obviously it's getting warmer. And, also obviously in my old age I'm reacting more sensetively on rising temperatures. 28-30 centigrade is for me wonderful, whereas it was no problem for me to live with much higher temperatures 20 years ago. So I realized that I'm sweating more and have to switch on the Aircon more often. How about you? You got same experience?

1. Question; can you afford to live somewhere else?

No story, no text message 😳😳😳

Career? Means more money. As everywhere in the world.

Many expats here would like to live elsewhere but not in the heat, and and and. Predominantly they are here because everything is cheap here, at least cheaper there where they came from. Cheap sex, cheap food, cheap housing, and and and. And the main reason they are here is....they cannot afford a decent life in UK, EU, US eg. They are too poor for that. Do they feel being in a prison? I think so. A life time jail. To escape they start drinking, ranting, taking drugs and blast off the last functional brain cells. But they won't admit it to nobody of being in a prison.

Why shall I hate a COUNTRY NO. I can hate some people, the country's character maybe, the institutions, politics aso, But the country as a whole.??? I doubt it.

Legio ante portas is always an imminent threat in Thailand. The army as a saviour of the institution. As the protector of the realm. However, not for the people but for themselves.

I don't think his intoxication was based only on drugs but he got hallucinogenic images. Maybe feeling like Sith or Highlander? Mad house or Jail?

Well, from the photo I do a long distance diagnosis: this boy was not healthy. At least obese, probably diabetic, maybe cardiovascular issue. To spin a connection to the vaccine is first hand abstruse.

Why?

Yeah, probably a lot of Ghost stories for a cold winter evening. Thank you

Not quite right. There is physical power and psychological power.

????😳

Everything right. You're a nurse ???😂🥳🎉

....well, as any other Thai driver. Don't tell me nonsense.

It seems so

That's your saying, others see it different

She said she doesn't have health issues

Where did I say that?

And....any idea what was stolen, Watson?

Social connection? Your logo's animal is involved?🥳

Very intelligent post. Must have an extraordinary IQ. Congrats🎉

My friend's wife woke up at night because someone touched her and whispered into her ear. No, it was not her husband since they sleep in separate rooms, because he is snoring and she is farting (a bit fat actually). Next morning she was confused. She could remember the touch and the word. "Come". She decided to invite the top monks of 3 temples to come and stay overnight. Also she ordered a handmade naga statue - 2m high - which is now protecting the house. It was a big party and since then (5 months) she sleeps very well. All attendants believed in this story. Would you? And....do you believe in ghosts or your Partner?

Ah give up. You can't win. You're only getting bitter and now starting bickering even.

Given that there is someone with IQ of 200. Would this person be able to rule a country with an average of citizen's IQ of 90 or less? I doubt it.
