Middle Aged Grouch

If a have a nuisance sitting next to me or some annoying jerk behind my seat kicking and hitting from the back, I make it a point not to hold on my farts 💥🤮😖

By far I prefer reading the entertaining introspections of Bob, rather then reading the hostile reactive comments from all the sour old drunks, giving out on him. At least Bob has some imagination and topics to debate or discuss, should they be true or not.

I would also put her facelift and chest implant surgeons, in jail.

I would give a simple statement to the EU and Bruxelles. "Handle your many internal issues first and kindly mind your own business". Thank you, 🙏

Western media is completly soaked in the feminist woke social environmental dogma. Anybody in a normal mental state of mind, does not any longer give a hoot to all the current propanda, the biaised western medias are trying to impose. Consequently, no need to continue funding such people not doing their jobs.

What about the anarchy created by the ultra violent south american mafia cartel gangs that were spreading fear and chaos for the last 10 years in America ? Strange, that the media never mentioned the situation. Now Trump is trying his best (or worst) to clean up the streets and it's a global woke influenced uproar. Really....

Actually most people in a normal mental stage, do not have the slightest idea on who these so-called "influencers" are...really.

Risky even for the experienced. Today, 1 single disgruntled customer can bring you down on Google, FB, Tik Tok etc.... Not to mention that you need to be around constantly as if you are not there, the employees will make a mess of the operation and clients will not come back. Even assuming all goes fine, I could never entertain all those drunk, rude, arrogant westerners with their oversized egos and downsized wallets, acting big in Thailand with their rent-a-week thai lady and her friends out to get a free meal.

Pattaya is a far better option then Hua Hin.

If looking for a nice beach, Hua Hin would definately not be the first place to go. Even the beaches around Pattaya look cleaner and more welcoming. Hua HIn got it's reputation due to other factors and by the fact that people at the top level of power, took to the area as a week-end retreat.

If not in a hurry, depending in which country, the regular SWIFT is far better option. What one may gain in the exchange, one looses on the side with the fees...and so on. No matter which, Wise, Revolut or Wester Union...at the end of the day, it's like at the Casino...they will always win.

and the booze ?

Biden started, fueled and financed a war with sanctions against Russia that plumetted the western economies. Trump, no matter how one may like or dislike, is doing everything to stop the war in Ukraine and stop the trillions of dollars being fed to Ukraine. At the end of the day, up to you to decide who is doing better and who has done the worst ...

Sure the teen drunks and junkies from the west will flock. But the quality foreigners in Thailand will leave their luxury seafront condos or pool villas and go to Vietnam or Hong Kong during the festival madness.

Nothing to do with local rules or laws,. It's about who will give out the largest banknote to the friendly local cops. Nothing new.....

If you are miserable or unhappy, booze or the barstool girlies are only like a band-Aid. A costly one that too. If you want to really heal the scars, and start to see the great results for yourself, consult a good shrink. And I'm not being smart. Of course, finding a good reputable and qualified shrink in Thailand, is a totally different story and topic of debate.

Trump or no Trump, the F35a is a piece of junk for any non US buyer. The plane can be sort of put OffLine from the USA, and one has to constantly shell out billions for regular upgrades and updates. A sort of Apple and Microsoft style business plan !! As much as I may dislike Europe and the EU policies, if I was to decide, I would definately go for a European made, fighter plane.

Considering the fuss Thai immigration makes on visa issues and the red tape even for retirees owning property in Thailand, it's only fair for western nations to retaliate at the slightest excuse.

The EU is killing Europe, no secret.

If you do not want to get ripped off and cheated with excessive prices or bad services, to some extent Bangkok and the entire area around Hua Hin or Phuket, is to be totally avoided. The north, Isaan area, Chang Mai are far more welcoming and friendly to foreigners and prices are half of what is applied further southbound.

K Bank in Bangkok is very efficient and very polite staff who can definately help out a foreigner customer. But that branch in a certain large shopping center in Hua Hin is a real mess, where it's made more then obvious, that they really dislike foreigners and love to go the extra mile and splurt out the usual "solly-no-can-do"...or the "solly, no-have"....

With all the new trends to flush money to Zelinski and Ukraine, soon they will be looking for any excuse to raise taxes and cut government spending (that includes pensions).

A normal form of hatred and anger is a common humain emotion, like joy or sorrow. The best remedy and quickest could be to avoid the things that cause it. Of course in some situations it could be impossible to avoid such a situation. In that case, some good tranquilizers and a good shrink can help, before the hate gets out of hand and head.

You can post anything as long as your identity remains private and undisclosed obviously. But if it's something that's say a bit hot, wait till you are not in Thailand to post it or better, post it under a VPN, different name and different IP altogether.

Why are the falangs in Thailand so conscious of the image of their social status ? Just trying to be something they could never dream of, back home in the west probably...
