save the frogs

Ideally, it's good to have savings. But a lot of people don't have massive savings. And if health insurance is covered, they don't need to as hospital costs are the greatest unexpected expense.

haha, hows your anti pattaya crusade going? lowly educated expats, girls of ill repute ... whats next?

the usual suspects - junk food, sugar, etc ... will contribute to cognitive decline. also, you may want to research the chinese herb gingko biloba ... it helps blood circulation, including circulation to the brain ...

maybe we should incorporate more grunting into our daily speech.

remaining uninsured is (also) gambling.

there's one school ( think its in pattaya) that claims on their web site they can extend the ED Visa for up to 3 years

apparently some people cheat the system by studying chinese or japanese, which some schools offer and which immigration officials cant quiz you on.

thanks patman. if anyone out there keeps large amounts of cash under their mattress, please let me know where you live. thanks.

I've spoken to a few employers that said "young people don't want to work". maybe they think they're more entitled to a job that is exciting due to social media influence. really don't know.

"I Love You" in Mandarin is "我爱你" (wǒ ài nǐ).

what is love then? i think people should stop using the phrase altogether. it's associated with romance. paying for things in a material world is a big part of love (although it can be abused)

tattoos ruin girls? do you have a scientific link to back that up? a bit dramatic, no? maybe the bar industry ruins girls ... but let's not have that debate again. but many normal girls have tattoos nowadays.

according to wikitravel, it has only 5000 permanent residents?

get a tattoo on your right butt cheek. it will temporarily offset the pain you feel in the left butt cheek.

because life is hard?

nothing ages well. we're all getting uglier. what's the purpose of art? a lot of girls look hot with those tattoos. i might actually get one. I've been too geeky my whole life. what's with all the resentment towards the tattoos? is there a subconscious resentment because bar girls are actually allowed to dress however they like, whereas everyone else in 'civilized jobs' has to conform to rigid dress codes? you're jealous because they look cool and you don't. admit it.

you must have missed it

marijuana may not be responsible for violent behavior, but it's debatable whether marijuana is safe for 14 year olds. if they want to keep it legal, there needs to be a massive education campaign to inform youth that perhaps it's not safe to consume at such a young age.

yep, i hear ya. had a few crazy gf's.

because the news hounds at aseannow would have picked up that story. OP, you never mentioned whats causing all the frustration. the locals don't want to sit next to you on the bus or what's goin' on out there?

it's highly commendable that you're not taking out your frustrations on your girlfriend. pat yourself on the back.

try crossdressing. wear a disguise.. dress up as a thai ladyboy.

another headless handless body found?
