So many beggars around he must be living in a social burning point on last grizzle...

ask the Jehovas, that fellow didn't mention them... Maybe he tried to persuade some Rastas and you know spliff and memories...

Infrastructure upgrade outside the high season ???? Usually such works are carried out at Christmas time like one week before and one week after... Let me guess therefore the road to Jomtien will be upside down again, will it?

Still the church is the richest state in the world.. An what to they do if you are on a low income and in need, demanding the church tax from your wages. What do they do if you are in need and wanna borrow a couple of quit? <deleted> ALL they do for you.. As I stepped out it was one of the best decisions I made in my life, and as the pastor asked why, I just told him Real belive shouldn't cost money, so why I have to be enforced to pay 8% of my wages into a brick building with uncomfortable wooden benches, a bell and an organ? He wanted even christinanize my Thai wife, otherwise we would not be married under the umbrella of the church... Crazy event after I left the church... Only 2 week it took and the Jehovas were in my door and told me that the decision to leave the catholic church was the best I made. All religions including Christians, Buddhists and Muslims are murders and liers.. I grabbed his throat and asked him how he found out that I left the katholic church and why he was not aware that he was standing face to face with a murdering buddhist who just grabs his throat.. I am now on my farm, the sky above me, trees and animals around me... I guess I must have found heaven and enjoy it until I am going in a wat through the chimney.. nuff said To the topic.. If the gospel and sould music is played open air and in free public places, I would stop by groove and listen. If a basket would be handed around, I would certainly give a donation for the performers.. But even in such musical events the German catholic church charged 45 EUR (!!) entry fee...

seems I was reading right... Not a keeper in my opinion

Cool, that must be a picture from the guy on the picture I posted in his early times... I still don't know anything of this fellow beside my wife and sisters went crazy when they saw them on the street.. "look, da Maaaan! He is baa maak maak" and I responded to the girls that he must make some living out of it, because he was part of Pattaya for many years..

10% is common in Germany if you find money and return it... But he called him brother, Hence a Thank you, and a hug was enough and the bangla will be now happy at the black jack table in Pattaya going for an "all in" ...

Hi guys and gals, Since I was stuck in Taiwan during COVID 19 and then moved onto a farm in Isaan I often think about the unique things and persons that made Pattaya: There was always a homeless farang for years at the police hut Sukumvit Rd - Soi Khao Talo. I remember that many Thais stopping by an gave him food and water. He was just there from the morning till evening and watching the traffic... There was a bar in walking street which had a sign: We respect your religion but we enjoy drinks and woman here, so we cannot allow muslims entering this place.. and last: My wife called him, "da Maaaan". Never spoke a word and just smiling, cycling down beach road, turned around via soi 2 and back.. Day in and day out... He was a unique in Pattaya wasn't he? there are so many other things that are disappeared in Pattaya... You remember some?

If you are a visitor or farang you should be very keen knowing the traditions and politeness rules. No, beside the beach and beach walk or around your house, topless in public is for the homeless, who are walking as nut cases and fruitcakes, complete off mind though the tourist places to check the garbage bins for edibles... If you want to be classified as one of these subjects, then feel free and take your shirt off...

The Global warming story is told to me by a Professor Dr Dr for some "environmental stuff" related to wind energy projects... This superbrain went out with me in Barrows (UK) and I pickled him in Beer, just to pick his brain regarding my Permaculture Farm I planned... As he had reached his intoxication level, he was freely talking which he never would do in a Windfarm Project Office... His Words: If the humans would decimize themselfes just around 10% it would be an economical disaster for any country. Hence a No Go... He agrees the humans have a little influence on the global warming, but the nature itself is the main culpit. Every plant and tree produces so much oxygen as it needs later for decomposing, if we produce more greenhouse gasses the nitrogen fixing plants will eventually take over and we have to eat more beans and peas.. The Global warming is a cyclus of 30000 years approximately and when the heat spike is reached, a very fast collapse of the natural thermal control system of the world will occur. (Jet streams, Ocean currents, El Nino and so on on on) Within a decade (or less) an ice age will sort things again (balanced reduction of industry and humans included) and the cr@p starts from new.. BUT: I love this panic making, because it sells Wind Turbines by the hundreds and pays me a day rate way above that what I earned in Oil and Gas or on Ships before... Final Words: "GRANNY, KNIT SOME EXTRA SOCKS AND A SCARF FOR ME AND MY WIFE, TIME IS DUE!" nuff said...

Welcome back Sir I hope they treat you well and you will soon be able to make the EUR to 48 baht again...

I started a farm with a food jungle, have a lake for fishing build this winter chicken paddocks... OOOPS, that's my future My past: who gives a heck now? I was special forces, bada$$ Biker, Divorced, travelled the world.... But at all I did what I wanted to do even as a lose cannon... Why changing? Hey its the past, there is no chance to change. The book is written...

Lets westeners into the country for 30 years and they build cities like Pattaya from piles of bricks.. Now let them in and Pattaya will be soon a pile of bricks again..

For many years the power pole was standing at the roadside, what made him thinking to commit suicide?

LOL, most unsuccessful wannabe Gold Digger... Buy yourself a drink sweetheart and join me if you fancy a chit chat...

This was my 11th retirement Visa and last 5 years I tried to get a WP... The labor department speaks some strange language as it COULD be possible but it won't be in my case because its about helping my wife on the farm, and that's a Thai job. BUT, if I go for the marriage Visa it is no problem, because I help my wife ON our farm but not outside of it. Delivering, transport or selling on the market would be in this case a Thai job... Understood? No? Me neither, but I'll go for the marriage visa next time...

Since winter last year we set up our farm I always hear: "We come and look, first consultation is free." If somebody would ask me or my wife for a survey fee he would earn nothing else than laughing and the noise when somebody ends the phone call on the other end.. Top expert or even the entire A-Team, there is no such a thing, like a survey fee in our vocabulary, complete BS!

Funny, but you are right... since 2005 my wife has put a major part of my offshore income into solid Gold and as I realized it, I thought exactly the same. "Oh darn, that will be after commissioning fee a huge loss..." 2011 she was throwing almost the whole stock out with the result that a happy Gold Shop owner made a fat commisioning and a happy husband kissed his wife, because she doubled my pension in 3 years. (Lots of this gold was pawned in from some bar girls in Pattaya Darkside who never came back... thats what doubled it because she gave only a fraction of the Gold price as a loan) 2013 she threw our pension savings back into the Gold Shop (This time without the cheap bar girl Gold) and I was freaking out again... This time more like: Darn, why you push your luck twice? Such things happen only once in a lifetime! (You feel so helpless when you are on a ship and she tells you this in a video call) In April this year she sold again and and our retirement box almost doubled again, now she is waiting for the next collapse and we agreed only 50% goes from our pension account... I told her to wait until it's down to (WTF I do know about Gold trading, I am not a Thai Woman LOL) Gold is sure profitable as long you have the time to wait for it... If you need the money liquid, don't invest in Gold... There are no quick money making solutions in the world

Okeeee? 40 million with an escort service in Thailand, where you can pick girls by the hundereds in Walking Street or Nana Plaza? Sounds to me like selling live music on tape, but seem to work... (Before he get deported with empty pockets lol.)

My story is told hence no repeating... I go shopping with my 48 years old wife still looking in her 30's, brown skin white a$$, half top shaped white surroundings... Places the sun doesnt reach even... Persuading her for a 1/2 hr that the skirt in the store suits her really and 400 baht ain't expensive either. And since she hasn't treaten herself for some nice fashion it is time to do so.. Back to our farm, she introduces her friends to her new skirt and 10 minutes later she is up in the tree (still wearing her new skirt) and picks some fruits for our dinner. After she pulls the fish from the market out of the bag, "chop chop, scrape scrape" and her new skirt is covered with scales... Washing the fish blood stains from her hands and finally dries her hand in her (as) new skirt.. Noting to complain about, thats my wife as I love her since 21 years... Regarding Topic: I can only say that a real Thai woman needs time until she speaks her dreams open but if she does, a European woman would be a sweet Pepper, a Latin girl for sure a Carolina Reaper and Thai woman is a Thai chili even... Hot enough for sure...

Borrow him a couple of quit and send your he-man friend home. What here exists is a guy the country don't need because of his non existing politeness... Oh I found the non existing thing you looking for, can we close the tread now and put a commercial Ad on next post? ????

It is because I had to copy and send the Thai Driver's License to the insurance. After 6 days I could pick up the scooter with Number plate and insurance for 15 month. In an accident case: I have a mate who bought a car and has the Dutch driver's license plus he was above the 6 month limit in the country. He cut of a scooter and the insurance paid all but told him not to drive anymore untill he has the international drivers license in combination...

Good one @johnnybangkok As young fellow I was by the German Special Forces and I was a c*nt.. I prefered to set a black eye when somebody was stepping on my shadow and "stood above all". I had a sh*t wife, jobs were lousy and not paid well and easy sacked came to it.. My "friends" were not better, and Police knew us with first Name... I broke off (incl bad wife) and started new. Totally focussing on being a nice and helpful fellow, the helping hand when called and when some lunartic want to chew me an ear off, I listen and smile before I just leave pretending I would love to hear more (Yikes) but I am busy. I got a great job now, making a far above average income, have nice colleagues and principals who asking me every season if I want to come the following year again. In the past 20 years my best friends are Thais and I am highly apreciated and respected in the community I live. If I have a job to do I know this is Thailand and they will screw it up. So swallow your anger, smile, do the worker proud because of the good job he did and aks if he is able to do me an extra favor because he is so skilled. I know its maybe hard to not sweep the ground with him and throw him over the fence. Why shouting, labor is cheap here, so why not spend a day or two more till the job is made to your perfection. He will happily stay and not run away leaving you with a half completed job. The Phone story: Darn, I would have broken my spine to pick it up and with a loud hello hello, please wait, your phone, you lost it. You are lucky I was here otherwise somebody would have stolen it! If all witnesses see this? Ouh what a shame for him and her, true? So I can say: There is no such thing as "Karma". There is only what people see in you and what you deserve...

Yes I did it too and ride my scooter here in Taiwan since 2020. Nobody has realized till now, that I am not Born in Thailand as stated on my IDP and German nationality...

I am working abroad and in Holland, Norway, Belgium, England, Taiwan, Indonesia and Germany I had no drama to use a Thai license... I guess the regulations are quite similar. If you stay longer than 6 month you have to change the license to the local one.
