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.

There are laws, and there are farang laws!!! Farang laws means take every satang they have in Thailand, take "their" house, send them home broke and name and shame until the end of time!!!! LOS, where 99.94% of farang men lose everything but keep coming back for more.

A tourist's bungee cord snapped and sent him plummeting into a lake. The tourist from Hong Kong leapt from a height of ten storeys (stories!!!) while travelling in Pattaya Mike told local media that he felt dizzy from the intense pain of the disastrous fall. Doctors reportedly said he was "fine" and released him from their care with some painkillers. -------------- Bottom Line: This is Thailand. Safety? NO. Can he sue? LOL. Is he "fine"? Of course not. Every year there are these tourists who get badly injured in Thailand doing something that should be safety; however, in LOS, things go wrong. Example: Zip-line, Chiang Mai, Chinese, dead. Just a reminder to all reading this and still active (under 80 years old, maybe there is one member): Think before you jump. lol

I've been here about 10 zillion years and it still feels like being in an oven in the middle of the Sun while wearing Scottish wool (the greatest thing from the UK!!!!!, no not whisky you drunks) Aircon is fine at times, of course, but I'm not a big fan of aircon all day.....chemicals!!!! 3 or 4 hours at a time is fine.

MUM sounds like something like MUMMY, which is ridiculous and for babies. Mother or Mom sounds much more professional, with an American flair perfected by the geniuses who took a really horrible language and turned it into an amazing linguistical phenominal. ebonics is next level great.

Should we simply sink the continent?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?! My mother is from Africa and tried to call, but I BLOCKED her call based on your comment. I emailed her and said my online friends here said Africa is a scam!!!!!!! Have you considered being a role model for children??? lol

This post is very attention seeking. You have gotten my attention!!!! I think I will invite you to my birthday party!!!!! You can entertain my 4 year old!!!!! Your sense of humor is why LOS is so welcoming to us expats!!!! Back to the OP, how dare he ask!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? You are asking him a question by asking him a question why he ever asks a question... I'm now totally confused!!!!!!!!!!

Why not!!!! Stand up for your beliefs, no matter what!!!! I wore it in Burma and got chased throught the jungles, but I will NEVER take it off. I wear my Taiwan shirt in China, and I've been beaten over 984k times yet I must support the oppressed!!!! If nobody does anything, how can this world get better? It can't, and that's why it doesn't!!!!

Search Google. Over 10 billion fake scientific reports online. I can’t believe anything! 99% sure the Earth is round. Never 100 6 million scientific facts proven wrong in last 25 years nothing is certain

HER property. HER land. SHE owns it all. Soon we may find out if she allows you to stay there or chooses family!!!!

You can do something!!!! fight for the girls!!! Boycott all places until they show you ID's from all girls!!!! Call your politician!!! Change the world!!!! It can start with you!!! Let me know how it goes. I'm in Pattaya right now on my 28th beer and maybe tomorrow I'll join you in the pursuit to help these humans!!!! remember farangs, WE create the DEMAND!!! We are the problem. Thailand's history: First Thais, then Chinese, then Japanese, and now the farang!!! What will we do? What will be our legacy?? I hope in 30-years this poster can NOT say, "I've been reading about this for 60+ years now."
