save the frogs

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?

I agree. also, some folks claim berberine is "nature's Ozempic", but I don't know enough about it.

I didn't say it was a major criminal enterprise. It could be a minor criminal enterprise. Maybe it was one drug deal. If you think 25K Euro is chump change, well ... we lead different lives.

I didnt assume that they have the majority of funds with them. But I am running out of reasons to speculate. Now I am asking you to speculate on some of the reasons and enlighten me. What reasons would be greater than the risk of getting robbed?

so people keep that much money on hand for fear that the banks will collapse then?

are we supposed to know this person on a first-name basis? never heard of him.

only people involved in criminal activities keep that kind of money on hand.

do you know what a cisgender is? well, if you mess too much with your estrogen levels, you may no longer be able to identify as a cisgender.

some potential problems with ozempic: - not designed for weight loss alone - can cause muscle loss - will likely regain weight when you stop using it - can cause problems with pancreas?

not taking sides in this argument ... but ... it is a relatively new word. Cisgender was added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2015

thats hospitable staff being concerned.

you tryin' to get my blood pressure up or what? this mult-millionaire ahole invited me out to a fancy steakhouse once. and he took a few bites and just left the rest of that steak on his plate. that drives me nuts man. an animal sacrificed its life and people take 2 bites and leave the rest.

you can get a pretty good steak on a frying pan. it's not the best way to cook it, but high heat on a frying pan will give it a nice sear. I eat a lot of meat. I can't afford to go to steakhouses. I don't bother because eating meat is a regular thing for me. I can't even afford steaks at home daily, so I do mostly ground beef (or chicken). To each his own. Whatever gets you thru the night.

someone else commented that steakhouses in US are expensive.

It's not that hard to cook a good steak at home. the only reason to be hanging out in ridiculously over-priced steak houses would be to show off your wealth.

I don't think it's a healthy way to lose weight.

Get ChatGPT on the police force ASAP! -------------- Dear ChatGPT, please read the following news story. Is it possible that a man who was found decapitated drowned? Answer: As an AI language model, I do not have access to recent news stories or the ability to browse the internet. However, based on my knowledge, it seems highly unlikely for a decapitated man to have drowned, as drowning involves suffocation due to oxygen deprivation caused by the water entering the lungs. Decapitation would result in immediate death, and the lack of head would also prevent breathing and thus, drowning.

maybe some farangs (not YOU, OP), give themselves too much importance and expect that locals will go out of their way to be respectful, kind, smiling all the time, etc ... most locals in any country are not necessarily racist. they just are too preoccupied with their own lives to be preoccupied with a farang.

wow, that would be sad if real women were no longer needed because of sexbots.

there's some bars/clubs on walking street that are not grubby at all. women of ill repute ... give us a break with that catholic church talk ...

regarding masking, there is a lot of irrational behavior, fears, conditioning by the media, etc ... you've never smiled at a local and they smiled back at you? or the other way around? they smile at you first? and if you think all the smiles are fake, that's overly cynical.

there will be sex dolls, but also the need for the real thing will not go away. at least that's his prediction. who knows? will the sex dolls be way better? the mind-boggling thing is that many "reputable" professions might completely disappear, but not the lowly bargirl. maybe in 10 years you won't be able to brag to your friends that your thai gf is not a bargirl, but an accountant.
