save the frogs

never been there, but maybe Bali is better than any place in thailand. except now maybe it's not a well kept secret anymore and it's over-crowded.

ripped off one too many people?

so how do they do it? pay off corrupt I/Os?

The economics for real estate has changed. But so has the possibility for remote work. And young people should strive to be more nomadic rather than waste decades saving for insanely over-priced real estate and stay in one place their entire lives.

what were the reasons you gave for not liking it? too seedy?

2 more blurbs to add: There really is a large group of expats in thailand that have been pussy-whipped into living up sticks and many of them might be happy there, but many of them regret it. so some of these folks might be on pattaya threads to project their anger at their own fates. also, I just remembered that a nonbar girl hit on me in pattaya on the beach! but i was only there for 2 weeks, so wasnt looking for a relationship. but yeah, you can meet girls there that dont work in the bar scene.

Weddings are the scam of the century. Some people send 20 thousand dollars on their wedding and start off their married life in debt.

human beings are emotional creatures, not always logical. that's why they needed Spock on Star Trek. They would never have survived without a half-alien who could be objective at all times. pattaya may not be "the best" at anything except highest number of slutty girls per capita, but if someone has lived there for 20 years, best not to knock it. because it's like knocking someone's religion.

No, I don't. I only use a pre-paid credit card. I need to load it up in advance. But neither do I take many lavish vacations or drive a lavish car or live in a lavish home. People are into status and most people would feel stupid being as frugal as I am. And after a while, the frugality can grow your money because you are generating interest on it in the bank. And then later in life, when you have money growing interest, you can afford to be more lavish with your lifestyle. This is economy 101 which we are not taught. Young people want it all - lavish holidays, fancy cars ... and then the math doesnt add up.

No, I mean it may not be the ideal place to live for everyone. But it's not just one giant red light district either.

I don't eat bread anymore, but all this food porn is making me miss it. Bread / grains may lead to heart health issues. Probably best to limit it to once a week.

I use whey powder, but probably tastes similar. I put 3-4 tablespoons of yogurt in a cup, with the protein powder, and add cinnamon and honey. Mix with a spoon, no blender needed. And tastes pretty good. And also started adding some creatine.

that's exactly what I'm looking for. i'm not there yet. but will steer clear of ladies with hopes and fantasies of houses in the sticks in isaan. if you see someone with a frog t-shirt or a "don't do drugs" t-shirt or a clown costume walking around in pattaya, that's me. say hi.

Ok, fair enough. You made your point and you are correct. Pattaya has a lot going for it besides bars. I admit defeat in my feeble attempt at a debate.

what about bigstar? has he ever admitted that he partakes in the bar scene or does he claim he's in pattaya for the cheap Indian suits?

nah, that's western media propaganda.

I agree. god is the greatest. how many universes have you created lately?

where will you meet jesus? you tell your wife you're flying to pattaya just to meet up with "the boys" and she believes you?

I dont believe you. Jesus was the only male to ever go to Pattaya and not take part in the bar scene. Cuz he didnt need cheap sex. He found God.

well, at least one of those posters had admitted he likes to partake in the bar scene. what percentage of girls living in pattaya are bar girls? 92%? your chances of meeting a non bargirl for dating seem slim there. if that's what you want. oddly, you seem to play your cards close to your chest and not admit that you enjoy the bar scene.

some people have gotten themselves killed trying to take cool selfies

Tesla is launching its robotaxis in the US next year. Apparently a fleet of 1 million taxis in the US. Much cheaper than Uber. No news about this in Thailand? Man I can't wait until taxi drivers are all replaced by these driverless cars. I'll be dancing in the streets.

If your midget wins the election, will you run off and join the circus?

No, he's totally lucid He is messing with YOUR mind. You will have dementia when he's done with you.

Please stop boring me with your crappy music list. Here, watch THIS. A cult expert explains how Trump uses mind control on his cult followers. Cult basically operates like a cult leader. Stay away from cults, Gamma !!
