Haha, very funny comments and answers. Thank you for all the help!

Hey guys, I've been thinking about hitting up a Thai massage session this weekend and I'm curious—what do you folks usually wear to be comfortable? I mean, you want to relax and not end up in a pretzel, right? So, do you go for the loose-fitting yoga pants vibe or is it more of a lightweight shorts and tank top scenario? Any tips would be awesome because I’d rather not turn up looking like I’m dressed for a gym session or too formal.

Oh! Also assumed you were an adult too. Sorry as well.

Yes Mum!

Agree: it never goes one-way...

How can you know?? Were you there??

Fortunately, we have a great world savior in the name of Bill Gates: https://www.gatesnotes.com/Urban-mosquitoes-and-Oxitec https://www.worldmosquitoprogram.org/en/news-stories/stories/the-gates-foundation-and-the-world-mosquito-program-partners-in-change And if you believe that Bill Gates could be responsible for the raise of mosquito-related diseases with his mosquito program, you are just a conspi-racist: https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucelee/2023/07/01/malaria-cases-in-us-trigger-unfounded-claims-about-bill-gates-mosquito-project/?sh=acd9c992c041 https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-bill-gates-oxitec-mosquitoes-malaria-cases-106569617546

Experienced with Northern European here. The way their brain work is just... mind-blowing... to say it politely...

Alter Schwede! You believe so? Winter depression, high suicide rate,... When I recall all those Scandinavian idiots I have seen when living in Hua Hin, this just doesn't make me want to leave there.

And you, you would need to get back to school! I mean: can't you read properly?? The article never stated that overstayers were dangerous criminals. The article states that they discovered that Swede while being in their process of tracking foreign criminals seeking refuge in Thailand, like for instance that German butcher or that Spanish chef, as any 10-year-old kid would have understood right away.

Also the bus network is a joke, with those failed incarnations driving buses and those fare collectors who do not even know the line on which they operate! I have never seen such morons on any bus network.

OK, I understand it is a joke. But it is not funny at all and even stupid. Reminds me of those stupid christian missionaries we had in our Thai classes, who believe to know and tell other how they have to dress!

Could you please develop on the "marginal freedoms" Singaporean gave up? I am interested in reading this. And about western democracy, are we talking about electing people, who then after conduct policies we had never asked for?? Except for the form, what difference does it make with other non-democratic countries?? I just recall 2005, as the French voted against the EU constitution project; 3 years later, French President Sarkozy signed the Lisbon Treaty and allowed France to rejoin the NATO integrated command.

Ugh... Wasn't the ultimate biggest crime committed by a German??

Years ago, Belgium had remained over a year without having the new government formed. As I heard: it was one of Belgium's most beneficial year, economically speaking...

As far as I know, nobody forces people to take huge loans to buy things they do not necessarily need with money they do not necessarily have, just to impress people they do not necessarily like. Capitalism only gives the possibility to companies to produce and sell those things, but also leaves the consumer with the liberty to not buy those, why criminalize?? Capitalism cannot be criminalized for the lack of responsibility of the consumers.

They don't need: they have their hard-working wives for this, all indoctrinated since young age at home and at school to be willing to work hard for their lazy husbands. They also have their daughters: as soon as the first period kicks in, they are either told to work as prostitutes finding old fat western customers, or they are sold to rich pedophiles! It is the same in Cambodia, and it used to be the same in Korea.

This is very exactly why I hated school! A place where we are supposed to learn? No: a place where we are forced to spend unnecessary money! I mean, uniforms, iPhones, for which purpose?? And even if a uniform is not the norm, like in my home country, if you are not dressed according to the new trends, you are ridiculized by your schoolmates and even teachers!

Fact is: it seems that Thailand is a magnet attracting all scumbags from all countries. Even Japanese, who are normally well-behaved in other countries, happen to behave like s*** here...

Was about to write the same!

Just imagine if he were Korean...

Old fat boomers feeling entitled and taking too much space are not my type of guy. Especially not those from Scandinavia, North America or Northern Germany! Protestant missionaries are not my type either!

Either guilty or not: this is why I avoid any contact with any foreigner here - except Burmese -, although being one myself. Too many expats, especially Westerners or assimilated as such - like my fellow citizens in Phuket not long ago - are extreme troublemakers! Just be in contact with them, and you land for sure at the police station as soon as the first even tiniest problem occurs!

This is even more stupid as he is based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia: https://www.linkedin.com/in/olaf-thorsten-brinkmann-2659401a4/ If he had wanted to kill him, he should have invited him to his base in Phnom Penh and done all the butchery there! In Cambodia, the police only cares when the victim is a local, but when a foreigner hurts another foreigner, the police does not even move...

Boring only for creatures who cannot handle the hard truth... Way off topic: for sure, like the original post I replied to...
