When I first came to Thailand, Thais saws a farang for the FIRST TIME!!! Maybe I was the first white face they ever saw, or the first time they heard English......... (this is what all backpackers believe) Then COVID.......I was in Thailand during the biggest crisis of our lifetime (WW3 will be much worse, that's coming) I experienced Thailand with ZERO farangs....It was ONLY me and Thais roaming the mountains.. Now the tourists are back, 100000 zillion at once..........My happiness and special place ruined!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish it was ONLY me to see that link on Pattaya many years ago......all the bar girls, drinking, late nights, why did 100000 zillion other men have to see the same information!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I must head to an undisclosed place to find true meditation, ride real elephants, pick wild strawberries, and really be like a local. all is now lost back to farang red light district everywhere.....thanks farangs, you ruined it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is simply a human being reincarnated into a stray cat. Possibly someone you knew before? It might have been someone famous?????? treat it bad, you will be reincarnated as a mouse.

There really should be a checklist... 1. military. you really do need to protect your country from itself and from others 2. education 3. poor 4. more social programs 5 to 199 : maybe in Thailand it's rice or rubber or manufacturing or whatever. and then #9890343759084574358427538495745438 Earth Exploration Satellite funding

Every day I keep 100,000 baht ready just in case this happens!!! This is THAILAND, LOShakedowns. If it was me, I would have...............blah, blah............every falang would have paid, done a few wais, happy to stay. We are the problem for letting this happen and not leaving. So we must blame ourselves, we support this system. Sure, cheap rent and usually cheap food......but at what cost??? at least back home we have some rights. any rights. I won't do anything, but it's up to all you farangs to fight for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UK has like 1/100000000the population and the US does like 25 trillion in GDP, about 1 billion times more than the UK. Plus they TIED England in SOCCER, England's really only "sport." Plus these "fatties" saved UK from being taken over a billion times and the UK still owe us about 1 zillion dollars for my help. to say the biggest, strongest, mightiest, all-controlling countries has a worse government... well, that Kool-Aid must taste good. Like I said 10000000000 times, Americans NEVER bring up that little island..........it's always that frozen place with horrible English trying to get in our heads. Now go back to your William and Harry soap opera ..... your only heroes!!!! lol

yea, it's not being stupid. try to save time, maybe be "crazy", maybe think the roads are the same as 50-years ago, maybe your dad taught you this, maybe you never knew anyone to die here before......... we have all been foolish and reckless, but this is next level in my book. 71 on a motorbike, sad. wearing a helmet? can I ask?

Just north of CR, you can produce 6 million pills in probably 13 minutes. Every farang who goes up North closes their eyes to the massive, massive, massive, incredible drug saturation problem. CM, CR, everywhere up North. It's like being a tourist in America, seeing a shooting, and saying, "Yea, the food and the views are amazing!!! selfie!!!" America is still great with all their problems, and the North of Thailand is also great. But there are problems.......and the drug problem runs deep, affects every school, most kids, all the poor, etc.......if it's not pills, it's booze.

I was born in Africa 2.5 million years ago. I started it all. No thanks needed.

I went to to an Apple store and bought a tablet. Went to JIB and bought a Lenovo. both correct!!!! Save up some money, take a trip once or twice a year to a city with actual stores...............and problem solved!!!!! Online is fine for most things, but if you have questions.....................head to the stores!!!!! There is even an apple website I used. worked!!! JIB has a website, works!!! I don't care about cost if it's something I really need, I care about quality. I'd never trust some shady online seller. I'd trust them to sell me a pair of socks, sure!!!

Only in Pattaya. Every day, Pattaya in the news. It's never good.

OMG, I can smell the smoke and it's 7 am!!! I sleep with my windows open, the air killing me as I sleep. Lungs are likely now black. Why get used to something bad for you? Complain and make a difference. Educate people who are healthy, and lungs have not yet turned black. If you are new to CM, run!!!! Thinking of CM, run!!!! Enjoy breathing, run!!!!! If simply OK with health issues and value your life as much as a 20 baht noodle soup, stay!!!!

No. No it doesn't.

I'm an America. I'm guessing by your accent, you might not be. That is NOT a typical American pizza. Not even close. I've probably eaten pizza from about 30 different states in America.................and I've never seen an American pizza look like that. I do consider myself an expert. <conversation closed> haha

What year is this? 1980? Next thread: Is tomato a fruit?

I'm puzzled with the Americans who don't like America (openly, exclaiming this fact to strangers). 1. No identity might cause depression. 2. Maybe they drank the Thai "kool-aid" and won't look at the obvious issues 3. Maybe they think more people will like them if they are from Denmark 4. But they love being an American, oh, they will give you the blue passport with a smile!!! If it helps them, and 99% of the time it does. 5. But when America has some bad news in the paper (online) then they run with the haters. When I grew up, there was MAFIA, insane racism, shady drugs (not cocaine, but people thought it was and many, many people died), everyone drank, smoking was everywhere, and serial killers then went crazy in the 90s after my childhood ended. What if I told you Thailand isn't as good as I thought it was 8 years ago???? Now what? lol. In America, you can find a real friend. A real relationship. Mostly clean air, buy anything, etc...... Here is an escape, which is great, I'm doing it................................but put the kool-aid down!!!!!!

Which is why we live here!!! Everything against everything……. This is the way.

I have a feeling peer pressure is still a thing.

I have a feeling mine have changed as well. Decades ago. Multiple decades. Lol. No worries, I highly enjoyed my youth. Sorry kids of today.

Pluto and this island. Two places I’ll never go to…..always negative news. Sorry Pluto, you were once a planet.

This post is the best.

My reason is very scientific. Sorry if you don't understand the matrix. Not sure why you responded to a post you wondered why was posted. now I'm confused. You clearly should not have responded, so I'll respond and explain I was right to post and respond and I'm not sure why you need chat room members to teach you about "humidity" or "wind chill factors." I learned about that stuff when I was two.

Never back down, stare at them until they stare away.......it is YOUR street, don't be bullied. I'll stare down 100 soi dogs, 100 ninjas, and 3000 Chinese Triad gang members before they teach ME the "rules of the street." (stares)

When I was a teacher, I would see one of my 1,000 (ONE THOUSAND) students about 40 minutes a WEEK. Of course, I would only interact with them brieflly. As a PARENT, I have to imagine that number is higher. Good friends, loving parents, a passion.....................all things likely more powerful than a teacher you barely see. I'm not saying don't give the teacher some blame, but I'd need to know some more information. Not all kids are bullied right in front of a teacher.

NINE BILLION Tourists by 3194. Fact.

google IQAir and you can do your own reporting!!!! I never rely on anyone but myself to find the answers!!!!! Google to survive!!!!
