Good for you. But this forum is full of threads from Farangs who are sick of the place and constantly complaining about the Thais. In 10 years of living in Malaysia I've never had any trouble with any of them. In fact if anything the Malays are the most gentle and polite of all the races here. The Chinese have a natural abrasiveness in their culture - you see it best in places like Hong Kong where they are in the majority and given their head to fully act out. The Malays are a moderating influence on the Chinese, and the Chinese equally give the Malays an entrepreneurial push, and the necessity to moderate the fundamentalism. The result is a better mix for both, and for expats.

This post gave me such a laugh that I've finally decided to 'out' myself because of it. I have a Thai LTR Visa which I obtained just over a year ago. I applied for it because....I've been living in MALAYSIA for 10 years (not 'Malaya' as you ignorantly name it) but they've been faffing around with the MM2H Visa terms, and also applied a Remittance Tax. The LTR Visa is an insurance policy, justy in case I am ever FORCED to move. I hope not. I've been visiting Thailand since even before I moved to Malaysia, so I know it pretty well. There was a time when I'd have said Thailand was even preferable to Malaysia....but not any longer. I was in Thailand for two fortnight long holidays last year. The first I stayed in Bangkok. I found it dirty, noisy, chaotic, overrun by pot shops, and the whores have become tough as nails and nasty. It was nice swanning in with my new LTR Visa, which at least worked properly. That was the only positive. The second visit was to Phuket, where I went on a sailing holiday, in the very rural south. No PFP down there, but still the ever present pot shops all over. I ended up in Patong for the last two nights of the trip, such a kip. Plenty of whores, plenty of noise and traffic, plenty of air pollution from all the vehicles, noise and more chaos, slummy buildings, honky tonk spit on the floor pubs, and crowds of Russians everywhere. EVERYWHERE! The thing that got to me most about both BKK and Phuket were those overhead wires. You just don't see that in Malaysia - those crazy 'birdsnests' on every pole, a jungle of cables tangled like spaghetti. It all gave the place an air of disorder and real third world infrastructure. They put them underground in Malaysia! The communication issue was just another thing wherever you went. No english spoken (unlike Malaysia where EVERYBODY speaks it). Rubbish strewn all around. No building regs - slummy houses and abandoned buildings all along the rural roadsides. Depressing. I couldn't wait to get home to KL. I don't know when you last visited Penang, but you missed out bigtime. Beach Street and Love Lane are hopping at night. Penang has fantastic history from the Colonial period. Thankfully they didn't demolish all their colonial history, and at least half of those old buildings are either still being used, or have been upgraded and restored as boutique hotels and artisan shops. They'll get around to doing the rest too, because Malaysia is now booming again thanks to a better class of Prime Minister. The multi culturalism of Malaysia makes it THE most diverse place in Asia for food choice. Stick to your monocultural Thai food. We get to eat Malay, Indonesian, Viet, Japanese, Chinese, Western, and yes....Thai too, and all in far more variety and choice than boring Thai Thai Thai every bloody day. By the way, Penang is majority Chinese Malaysians, and Georgetown can feel more like Hong Kong than some muslim town. You'll be hard pressed to find many mosques to bother you - but do your due diligence next time when choosing your hotel. Look at a fricken street map fer chrissakes! And bring ear plugs if you still can't be bothered . KL puts many Western cities to shame. Excellent roads, good planning, no 'free for all' slum building.Streets are clean - people have civic respect for the most part. It's safe to walk around, no druggies and whores accosting you, no Russian hordes, fantastic malls, and - did I mention - EVERYBODY speaks english. Finally, I'll review that list: 1/ You will be woken up every day at 4 am by the calls to prayer. Bull<deleted>. 2/ As I understand it, the cost of living is higher. You understand WRONG. For one example, the price of a bottle of wine in Thailand was near twice that of Malaysia. 3/ The climate is hotter Rubbish 4/ Women not as available ( Muslim country ) Whores aren't on every street corner. 25% of the population is NON muslim, so try harder. 5/ You need assets of USD 80,000 and a monthly income of USD 2275 for a retirement visa. Tough titty! 6/ The air is less polluted. You better believe it. The smog from Indo a few years ago hasn't returned because the Malaysians demanded action and got it. 7/ Food is a 50:50 proposition. I prefer Thai, others may prefer Malaysian. Yeah, stick to Tom Yam soup every day if you like that. 8/ More people speak English. And they don't look at 'Farangs' like you're the enemy. I have always found the Malaysians to be very welcoming and friendly to Mr.Whitey. So the upshot is - I'm staying in Malaysia until they kick me out, or I go out naturally. I'll slum it in Thailand occasionally - but there are other nicer places around Asia to visit as long as you aren't a whoremaster and a pothead.

He sometimes has interesting guests. Many celebs seem open to being on his show. I think he has too many comedians on it though. He's nothing special in my view. I think his original appeal is from laddish culture - which he feeds off.

I've made a few insurance claims in my life. Some were paid, others rejected. The one that got paid easiest was a critical health policy claim. The ones that were rejected or made impossible to pursue were holiday insurance policies. Good example - my suitcase was lost by an airline. The insurance company refused to pay unless I could provide an original receipt for every item contained in it. Air Asia ram their insurance in your face every time you try to book a flight. I accidentally bought it on a flight last year (it tends to be 'selected' by default and you have to actually 'cancel' to refuse it). Anyhow, it included a payment if your flight is delayed by more than 'X' hours. My flight was indeed delayed by more than 'X' hours. They refused my claim saying it wasn't covered because I 'didn't suffer any loss'. Just remember ALWAYS CANCEL the Air Asia insurance (and probably ALL airline insurance for that matter).

By the way, it was Whitey who created the Geneva Convention. Imperial Japan ignored it.

I was waiting for that. That was total war and the Japanese had committed enough atrocities to deserve it. They had expressed the intent to fight to the last man woman and child. There was no prospect of any negotiated surrender. Their culture respected death before surrender. I could argue that they only nuked the wrong target. Tokyo and the emperor should have been nuked instead of the most Christian cities in Japan. But some restraint was shown. As white men do. Seriously, the Japanese were merciless - unlike Whitey - and China still despises them for what they did. Read ‘The Rape of Nanking’.

Regarding Somalia and other military misadventures, I think the big picture lesson from them is that the US and Europe are nuclear powers, and at the first sign of any ‘resistance’ they could easily just nuke the runts. The fact that they don’t is the real test of the proverbial ‘White Culture’, which is to show restraint and respect for international law. Im not including Zionists in this equation - for obvious reasons.

I found this website interesting: https://geerthofstede.com/country-comparison-graphs/ Geert Hofstede was a Dutch 'Social Psychologist' who came up with theories on definitions and comparative qualities of culture. The website has numerous tables and dynamic graphs that allow you to choose combinations of his major cultural markers and compare nations according to them. It's fun to mess around with. On the Masculinity comparison graph for Asian nations, Thailand scores 34 (bottom of the table). Japan is top, with a score of 95. Military prowess may be related to masculinity as a cultural marker (Somalia scores almost same as the US) - but as JimTripper points out that's only part of the story. Throw in comparisons to other cultural traits and you see Somalia crash down the tables. Check it out.

The reason so many 'Irish Pubs' outside Ireland look like that is they are rarely Owned by anyone Irish, they are rarely Managed by anyone Irish, and they usualyy don't even have anyone Irish Working in them. Fake as fk in other words, in a 'diddly-eye Oirish' Hollywood'esque version of what an Irish pub should be. There are exceptions - good luck if you can find one.

That's quite a stretch. Stupid military misadventures are ubiquitous in all nations. Speaking of which; I'm not sure how the Israeli military and Zionism came to be associated with 'White Culture' in this thread. The truth is that Jews are not white. To me being white means being of the Caucasian race. Jews are not Caucasian. They are Semites. A fact of which they like to remind us of repetitively. Jews are the CHOSEN RACE, and NOT the Caucasians. Caucasians (etc) are regularly branded as Anti-Semites, a label which surely only emphasises the 'otherness' Jews proudly see for themselves. So please stop filing the actions of Semites under 'White Culture'.

Some facts clearly spoken.

And all the bodies under the rubble? All deserving of death according to you zionists.

The Balfour doctrine planted thousands of Jews into Palestine and kicked the Palestinians out. The settlers have expanded it continuously, using your BS 'hereditary' justification. A lie is a lie.

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/gaza-death-toll-how-many-palestinians-has-israels-campaign-killed-2024-07-25/ They haven't even included the dead buried in residential buildings ruins. Only the actual hospital and grave numbers have been registered. Over 40,000, you liar. There are estimates it's more than double that.
