I think I stopped objecting after a waitress stuck her hand in my beer and took the ice out.
From a quick survey of the above replies it seems that those who have been in Thailand a long time are less likely to object. Part of "going native" I suspect.
I notice that waitresses and waiters are now more likely to ask first (probably due to having their heads bitten off a few times) but ten years ago and more they were more inclined to just drop it in without asking.
Another question: How do you react when the beer in the bottle is so frozen that it comes out like slush? Do you think the flavour is impaired? How about the effer.... efer... eferr.... fizz? (see 0mix1up's post for correct spelling)

Aussies are exempt from answering since they don't know what a beer glass is for.
Not true, Aussies drink out of a glass when only long necks (large bottles) are available and they're starting to get heavy.
I first got ice in my beer in Vientiane where I found that when drinking large Beer Lao the bottom half got a bit warm when you started slowing down. And the barmaid was so cute I just couldn't say no. Actually she moved in with me for twelve months and the bar owner never forgave me when she gave up work.
That's what ice in beer does for you!!!
Good story, sceadugenga.

Given that the English are not disposed to learning foreign languages I am developing a system for farangs to be understood in Thailand by speaking English only.
The pronunciation may not be exact, but its as good as you will get from the average Englishman.
The following are some basic phrases. All that is required is to remember the Thai meaning for the English phrase.
All suggestions for inclusion in this innovative publication will be gratefully received.
men awry - English: males behaving badly Thai: What's the bad smell
crap pom - English: comment upon Aussie roots Thai: polite acknowlegement
my hen - English: The eggs belong to me Thai: I have not seen her, him, it.
you cow - English: expression of endearment to a lady Thai: I'm hungry
pee sow you knee cap? - English: Did the pig urinate on your leg? Thai: Is your older sister here?
look sow - English: Did you see the pig? Thai: Daughter
homme mac mac - English: He's pretending to be French but he's really Scottish Thai: What a wonderful smell
cow pat - English: be careful where you put your feet in the farmyard Thai: fried rice
men mac - English: they come from north of the border Thai: what a stink
yo yo - English: childs toy Thai: many
cap ban - English: no hats allowed Thai: I'm going home
Bangkok - English: Reason for visiting Thailand Thai: Krungthep
Go pee pee - English: p*ss off Thai: Andaman island.
die, die - English: Why don't you drop dead? Thai: Sure, sure. It can be done.

How did you react the first time a waitress dropped a chunk of ice into your beer?
I was outraged the first time this happened.
Now I just accept it. Have I been in Thailand too long?

Rambo has taken umbrage and withdrawn his pithy input. I tried to warn you all several posts ago, well now he's hurt and has sent us to Coventry. I think we older persons are a little too coarse for the more sensitive souls on the board. Please try to set a good example for the youngsters.
BTW, Alf, I'm saving a wee dram for ye, comin' over in September when ma tractor's tuned.
Hope you are practising your caber tossing for the Old man Olympics, qwertz.
I hear its being held in Phuket in September.

Why would you want to lick your elbow?
This is Thailand. Shouldn't be difficult to find someone to lick it for you.

The theory is far from "spot on".
Having a dollar in your pocket is still an asset.
Bush in the White House is a liability.

OK. A simple question JR - In your own words, you find the concept of older men with younger women "not a nice thought".
So what is it that is compelling you to spend your time debating the subject? Especially since you have got so much going for you to occupy your time?
No answer, "Rambo"?
Rambo is on a one-man Special Forces mission to track down Osama bin Laden.
I didn't know that Osama had a young Thai girlfriend !

Sounds like the OP has been having an interesting "virtual relationship" for a long time already. Why spoil it by introducing reality? Don't meet.
-
the guy called his girl a maid, i just took it another step further down the line.
That was your mistake blizzard. Whatever the guy feels entitled to say about his own wife does not grant licence to others to "take it further down the line".
I think it would be prudent to apologise rather than try to defend.

My advice - buy a mask. Seriously, no joking. Buy a mask with an innane, clown like smile. Buy it when she is not present and next time you visit the supermaket put it on and keep it on until you both start laughing about it. She will never raise the subject again other than as a joke.

These two happen to be bisexual and are close friends. Having got to know them, i am currently often invited to join them. Many a fun time recently.
Yes, you have already said. You on the computer answering this thread on TV whilst they are doing their thing. So to whom are they attracted?
The "Rambo" thing doesn't fool us oldies. It says exactly the opposite. You are obviously a voyeur of lesbians and young women with older men. It doesn't take much to read between the lines - an observer not a doer. Jealous of the old guys who are still up for it?

never have I agreed with so many posters, even the posters that disagreed with eachother.
Have you been reading a lot of government statements recently, Toptrainer?

Thais only love themselves, Negroes are unintelligent, Jews are cheap, gays are immoral, short men have short p_____. Stereotypes are wonderful aren't they! Black and white labelling shows the close-mindedness of the thinker.
"Stereotypes are wonderful". That's a bit of a generalisation isn't it? Some stereotypes are less wonderful than others !!

England and Thailand
Both countries have way too many undesirables living in them.
But not similtaneously !!!

Can a Thai will be in a language other than Thai?
What about executors? Must they be Thai or can they be farang?
Thanks

What do you call a scouser in a suit?
"The Accused".

I'm being entertained by two lovely young ladies as i type. Us younger, virile studs don't need to splash the cash in bars to get the ladies' attention, they volunteer for their pleasure.
That must be very entertaining for them too. And how come you arso easily distracted?
Sorry, typo: for "arso" read "are so"

Anyway, who resurrected this loony thread?
I was wondering the same thing too, qwertz, but I guess you can't keep a good (old) dog down.
Are you sure "resurrected" was the appropriate word? Like many of its posters the thread was old but not quite dead!
Perhaps you meant res-erected?

Some of these old guys, who are sensible enough not to get ripped off, hang around for quite some time, and some of these ladies lose their youth to servicing these guys. Some of what that entails must be quite repulsive to these significantly younger women. Imagine having to go through that for 10 or 20 years out of a need for security and obligation to your family. Not a nice thought.
Mmm. "Not a nice thought"? However, that's your thought "Rambo" not their thought. The biggest mistake you can make in life is to assume that others think the same as you do. Generally, they don't.
e.g. For every "Rambo" there are plenty who think that the "Rambo"`image is a cover for a deep seated inferiority complex. Ask a psychologist.

A champagne cooler? What bars do you drink in?
If you ask for a "wine cooler" in most of the bars I know you get a red coloured sweet semi-alcohol drink. Never tried mixing it with beer. It tastes awful enough on it own.
