TITLE WRONG. You certainly don't mean STOP, you MUST mean START!!!!! lol

Who knows? lung cancer, emphysema, I'm not a real doctor, only online Google doctor. Many people have moved out, of course. I know if they get a certain room it will be too crazy. One group of nut jobs put a table in the Soi (other end of the apartment complex) and would blast music and get drunk. That room was doomed. 2 moved out from there already. I only learned one thing in Thailand. Rent a CORNER room, it's soooo much colder. Sure, might be louder, but colder beat noise. And never sign a long-term lease, things will get strange. I'll be in a new place in May. I can ONLY IMAGINE what will happen... One "modern" apartment I rented was next to a shack where you could hear the people open the door and pee. Great!!!! I'm always on the top floor, but that place only meant second floor. I honestly don't care because it's so cheap, and hopefully letting the expats know what MIGHT happen that will ruin your life!!!!!! lol

It's fun to let others know what can happen in Thailand. Moved to a smaller city to avoid COVID (it worked!!!) and got a room at a "decent" apartment complex. Fingerprint scan, cameras everywhere, whatever, nothing special. Problem 1: OMG, dogs. at least 10 go crazy all night. Ear plugs, fixed. 2. Heat. The sun loved to live in my room, but the aircon was great. Moved to corner unit facing other direction, solved. 3. At least two houses and one bar blast music or karaoke or drums or something from like 6 to 9 pm or during the day. Almost rarely kept me from sleeping. Whatever. Now to coughing guy. My neighbor. From about 8 a.m. until who knows when, he coughs as though he is dying. Of course I feel bad for the guy!!!!! Never said anything, never looked at him as if he is sick, never had a conversation actually. How can you live like that??? It's been about six months, every day. You can hear him outside. Sad, really, and maddening. Finally my work is done and I'm moving on in a few weeks. I'd usually leave in the morning, so who knows how long he coughs for. Probably hours. Saturday and Sunday, I don't remember. Maybe an hour of really loud coughing, I guess. Didn't ruin my life, but IMAGINE if I bought a place like this!!! That's my point. During COVID, wow, quiet, nothing, only the dogs and the heat. Now it's three house parties, coughing man, dogs, some heat, and a house was built a few months back.

Old campaign was what? "10%..... " "0.83%...." or "Up to You Campaign". 100% sure seems crazy!!!! The year is 2023 and safety becomes a concern. Amazing Thailand!!!

I will send you 4 cents. OH WAIT, I sent you 400,000,000,000........ Now, go to Best Buy and buy gift cards!!!!

Thailand!!!! This morning, chased by 5 soi dogs. Almost hit by a motorbike, and eyes burning because of the pollution!!!! But I did see a really pretty college girl doing the "walk of shame". OMG, now it's super hot and I'm dying. Aircon broke, and these walls are so poorly constructed. I'm sure immigration will visit me today, wife will kick me out, and my 20 baht noodle soup lady will be closed!!! This is retirement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahhahahahhahahahahahaha Does Portugal have Pattaya? NO. END OF!!!!!

Probably right. I've seen so many mothers treat their SONS with a crazy amount of respect. I also know a few 30 year old women still living with their parents. Probably over 10, actually. Maybe 10-years the worst violence against kids I saw was a female librarian against P1 to P6 students. sickening. Yup, I reported her to the police after I left the school, and the policeman went to the school and asked for their video recordings. They didn't have any recordings, they said, and the policeman (a friend) told me he couldn't do anything more. I shook my head and moved on....I joked about maybe interviewing the students. No response. Interviewing the teachers, nope. Parents, nothing. Yea, I gave up.

Many people probably wanted to tell me, "Thailand??!!?!? That's like the Wild Wild West and you never know what will happen!!!" Yes, yes, I know, but I can get noodle soup for 20 baht and negotiate a gf for 200. If I get shot over my noodle soup, well, hope I don't get a cleaning fee. I used to think Thailand was safe, now I have to hear the name of the place first. (Note: BKK was never safe, but "safer" than other cities I guess). It's not like Google or the news will cover crimes near those train tracks.

I find it to be logical. Your non sequitur appears to be non sequitur, as my logic follows the same way as A B C!!!!!!!

Must be tough in the winter, of course. I wonder if feel warmer when you are high. Also wonder how many from California. This is another reason to avoid the city if not homeless, and go to a city if homeless. Hawaii seems like an obvious choice, but might take a year to beg to get a one-way ticket. still worth it, despite how expensive it is. just guessing.

It's funny, I was just thinking NOBODY uses TF anymore. lol. That site is definitely 2015. E V O L U T I O N. get with it

I've been saying this for YEARS (different accounts, of course!! lol): This violence towards kids is much more prevalent than you think. Especially private schools, IMO. Also, I've seen farangs hit kids. Horrible humans. Yes, I reported them all. Nothing was ever done. Before COVID (my last "teaching" job), government school employee teachers were afraid to hit kids. FINALLY a change, because they knew they would lose their "job" of doing nothing and it's almost impossible to get fired. I would send my kid to a gov't school before a private school. Oh, it's the culture!!!! Discipline is good!!! Well, if you have an IQ above 49 you would realize science has changed on human development and it's a horrible thing to do. Oh, you only use your phone for Instagram?? Well, there you go, and you still remember your grandfather hitting you so it must be the right thing? Can't fix stupid. Plus a Thai teacher snitching on another Thai teacher is like seeing a unicorn. If you are a parent, GO to the school and observe. You will cry while driving home, knowing you failed your child. lol. I laugh because what did you really think? Oh, it was inexpensive. There you go!!!!

and here I am searching my one bedroom studio apartment with no windows, toilet or bed for 20 baht so I can get some noodle soup!!!!!! I worked for 35-years, never missed a day!!!! crime pays!!!!!! lol

OK, Thailand!!!! Now's your chance to put this guy's name on the cover of a few papers and let global justice go to work!!! Dude would be arrested in minutes. Or....................or............................. nothing and he's back in Pattaya by Wednesday.

It's not JUST a beauty contest!!!!!!! The "girl next door" is probably barely legal, can't read or write any language, had a job at 7-11 for 28 minutes, and plays ROV on her phone 23 hours a day. However, the farang thinks he will her first love and get to control her forever!!!! Miss Thailand is likely not able to be controlled by the dirty farang, so he gets very insecure and runs to his beer.
