  1. around the time of songkran is the real new year. because it's spring and things start growing in nature. spring represents re-birth. celebrating new years on jan 1st doesn't make sense as it is the middle of winter. winter signifies death.
  2. how many drinks per week is ok before it harms your health? i'm not sure anyone knows for sure. probably too difficult to isolate the effects of alcohol long-term in a scientific study. knock yourself out. telling people drinking is bad for you is a <deleted>ty job and i wouldn't want to do it.
  3. only flute player in rock music ever. some of his music is pure genius. watched an interview once ... he toured with led zeppelin. ... they would sleep with groupies and do drugs after shows. he preferred to be alone and quietly read a book.
  4. i think i posted that link in another thread a while back. you can't just say "cannabis is harmless" after watching this, can you? if you believe the science is accurate.
  5. I've tried stalking her, but sadly she never returned my phone calls. Miley is smiley minus the s, because she used to smile a lot as a kid. She is basically two different people. She creates crappy pop songs for teens to make money and she creates real music mostly for herself.
  6. there may be so much inter-breeding that in 200 years you will have a hard time distinguishing people's ancestry in the US. the white supremacy nonsense will come to an end.
  7. I've had strained relationships with family for decades. It degrades your life. So it's better for me to live abroad.
  8. you've highlighted the 2 biggest problems with the stock market. 1 - the stock prices are not directly related to company performance, so cannot be predicted. no one can predict stocks. 2 - the stock market is like a casino. when stocks go high fast, the casino knows people will get greedy and not pull out on time. then the dealer pulls the rug, so dealer usually wins.
  9. the specific country is maybe not the main issue. but rather that there is a strange inexplicable mysterious phenomenon that a certain percentage of people don't feel comfortable in their home countries.
  10. I feel more at home living in ANY non-western country than my home country.
  11. I met a 97 year old woman who claimed she made a lot of money in the stock market and ONLY invested in bank stocks. Not saying it's valid investment advice. But just sharing anyway.
  12. Ronald Reagan said it best. "our differences would vanish if we were facing an alien threat".
  13. I'll try to give it a watch when I get the chance. Thanks for the recommendation.
  14. Any Eckhart Tolle fans? FYI:
  15. that's the best sales pitch i've ever seen for the stock market. nice job.
  16. I just meant that the term may be creating unrealistic expectations. Hence posters who claim Thailand is boring so they want to move on. Most people's lives are not that exciting unless you're james bond. Cheers.
  17. where does that phrase come from? the marketing dept of international living magazine? maybe just living a comfortable decent life with your basic needs met in a decent country with warm climate is good enough for most people. and maybe people need to stop using that phrase.
  18. the bars are open air, there's a certain vibe there, some people actually enjoy drinking and talking with the girls. its not just the sex.
  19. i don't know ... gamma is posting all these music videos ... it almost seems like associating yourself to the songwriters. music is in all countries as it is low-cost. but the film industry is different. the US definitely has the most impressive film industry in the world. it basically boils down to $$.
  20. baseball caps have come up a few times. the actual sport of baseball was exported to japan, taiwan, south korea, and cambodia. but somehow never to thailand.
  21. amen to that. also, if you didn't actually write the songs for the beach boys, maybe you shouldn't try to take credit it for it on this forum.
  22. maybe God is LITERALLY a Group of Drunks. Ha ha. Just kidding. Apologies for the levity in this serious matter.
  23. one of the biggest challenges of living abroad is other expats from other western countries. often more so than dealing with the local culture.
