Issan is a  beautifl-rural, deeply religious vibe. I took some vacations in Mississippi. It's like that.

Im sitting outside up front on a ferry along one of the sides, and one guy climb up front of me and two families with young kids,  and light a joint, Im smiling, the families smiling and we all appreciate the destinct smell of a fat one! 

 

How often does this happen to you? It seems like it happens to you a lot. 

Are you only ferry-traveling right before full moon parties and only to Koh Phagnan?

My new rule is no book less than 600 pages and to do two a week.  

Back in Grad school, we had to read 300 pages and toss out a 12 page paper, daily.

I can see running out of 600 page books in 2-3 years. They're not pumping 'em out like they use to.

I googled, I came up with nothing.

If you don't want to work with dark skinned people, learn to type or sell something. Floor-mopping? We arrre the world.........

I was just staying in two BKK hotels that were 90% non-white. They were chill, but nothing is more inedible than a cheap Indian breakfast buffet. Stick to the omelette station. Avoid the brown sludge with potato's floating in it.

Please don't play games with PTSD.

 

 

*Most refused to sit with / discuss with psychiatrists and similar because these guys just didn't understand what the veterans were trying to explain. 

You have my empathy and respect.

Out of deference to your situation, I will post no more on this topic.

what's you're personal experience with PTSD?

I have been clinically diagnosed with PTSD and have been treated for it.

Meditation helped me the most. But it's not for everybody.

As I said, much sympathy to anyone who has it.

I come from TrumpLand. I have seen people wear tee shirts saying they're veterans suffering from PTSD and might go off on a sneery liberal.

In 3 cases I that I encountered, they weren't even veterans. Their PTSD was as imaginary as their service record.

Claiming fake PTSD is the same as emotional Stolen Valor.

Cambodia is/will be the new expat hub if and when these ridiculous tax laws come into force.

The Cambodians like tax revenue too. At the moment, not enough pockets there to skim.

If it does become a "new expat hub", expect the same.

You know we all need a dentist a couple of times in life. But from that, to a brain surgeon??? A little bit steep for me. 

If a dentist is the average brag, and I am waaaay above average as a romantic prospect for a HiSo, then I want a brain surgeon.

It seems only fair.

I do wonder why it's always a dentist, tho. Also, 97% of the dentists I see are men. The other 3% are apparently whitie-phile nymphomaniacs. It would be so great if that was true.

On the other hand, a chubby Aussie international school teacher with a filthy mouth trumps a hot Thai brain surgeon. To each their own.

jeez mate.. I feel for you!

 

bob.

I feel for you back. Super-vanilla sex with some adult 9th grader who's not all that into you and would strongly prefer a Korean.

Nah, I'll pass.

....you a fan of the white chocolate eh?

 

'Have felt a lot of affinity with Thai women, but not yet sexual attraction.

And I'm all about the sexual attraction. For the rest, get a dog.

-If I broke up with my western wife and I still wanted to pull white, but:

But many Reddit threads claim that white women are pretty much ten a penny in Bangkok. It would be helpful if I could develop a taste for Eastern Euro.

As a Buddhist meditator, I might be able to get a westernized upper class Thai woman; but I don't know if I want to fight the throngs of whitie competition. 

Still, Sparktrader said here the other day that his girlfriend is a dentist (it's always a dentist).

If he can pull a dentist, I can pull a brain surgeon.

I don't even volunteer here in Chiang Mai because there are so many other people gagging to do it.

 I am obsolete and irrelevant -and pretty happy about it.

A lot of people who claim to have PTSD don't have it.

They're just, tightly wound, aggressive, self-pitying people and have found a way to be OK with that.

Much sympathy to anyone who really has it. Lifestyle change and meditation will prob do more for them than pills.

Maybe once a year, I'll go for a pork burger at Burger King. Not too bad.

Laab seems like a natural as a pizza topping. How is it worse than whatever's in pepperoni?

I'm 71, retired at 40. A fair few people have been happy to fill the desk I left.

And I was happy to leave it.

I don't think I've heard anyone complain about "media hype" since I worked at that desk.

Some gyms have good client base for meeting people 

-Have not found this to be remotely true in Thailand. These are the least chatty gyms I have ever gym-ed in.

Jett's Gym lets you use their gyms countrywide. They're usually in nice malls.

He could volunteer to mop the floors 

As I understand it, there different kinds of mops for different kinds of mopping jobs.

If only there were a kind of Australian goodwill ambassador who could bring this knowledge to the land of smiles.

A sort of mopping-Oxfam program.

If I were Georgia-G, I'd be milking it longer.

I paid 500 baht. 

And they upgraded me to a high floor suite.

I guess for not being a liar about it.

I just saw a 2012 statistical report on Luang Prubang in a used bookstore.

3,200 baht. Would you pay it? Me? No.

Dog statistics = hard to come by.

Herein lies the problem. 

In the new righty world, feelings take precedence over actual threats.

What is Ranong like? I'm looking for something similar to Hua Hin.

Of all those towns, I give Trat the nod.

Some old teak left standing. There's a place you can eat crabs out in the sticks. Plus, the ferry nearby to the islands.

You're just too into this. Like, "take that, floor-mopper". You're like a trekkie learning Klingon.

Please, have some basic self respect.
