Will have a stopover there en route to Brazil for a vacation. It's the only way to fly premium-economy to Brazil.

Have you been, would you go? It never pops up in retirement alternative destination discussions here.

'Doesn't look like there's much there to interest me. Two small old areas with some souks, a mall or two, some fake beaches.

I was surprised that Abu Dhabi, the nicer part of Dubai with a Louvre branch is 3 hours away from the main airport.

what are my chances of meeting a real woman who is truly interested in having a real romantic relationship with a foreigner an not solely just for his money?
 

 

It would be a million times better for your head (and your chances) if you were coming to Thailand for any other reason than seeking a romantic partner. 

Who are the woman here who "truly interested" above all else?

Those would be pretty needy women, like yourself. Not a recipe for fun, romance, or a long run. They'd also very likely be strongly needy in the $$$$ department.

Build a life here, meet positive people, take your time. Just like back home. You'll still be you, so work on that too.

I eat vegan about twice a week. A lot of food I like just turns out to be very vegan: Middle Eastern, Burmese, SomTam. I'm good for about 2 servings of red meat a week, usually a burger or a something and rice dish. More than that feels gross.

People who complain about vegans usually have the palate of a child. It's very rare that I am in a 4* or above restaurant and the heavy meat option even makes into my top 3 choices.

About the only expensive meat thing I ever eat is a $20+ fake waygu beef burger. Had a good one at Gaucho Steakhouse in BKK last week. Followed up with vegan eggplant lasagna at Vegetaranie.

The Soyboy Denouncer above cites Chiang Mai as a vegan paradise. True enough, due to my wife, I have been to every single vegan place. We had Japanese fermentation food last week, very light and biome-ish.

Vegan food is a relatively new, cheffy kind of cuisine and we like eating new food. Meat and two veg is like a boredom death sentence. Basically, Californian Asian-fusion is the food I could eat for the rest of my life.

Does your wife know you talk like this?

My wife, my wife. Again.

Send me $50. I'll send you some dirty granny pants.

Nick, have you ever met a person who admitted to wanting sex with an infant?

The closest I can imagine if it were an evil doll-baby like in the Chucky movies.

Can we at least agree on hand sanitizing between good deed genital touching and oportunistic genital touching?

OK, I'll bite.

Has anyone ever heard of someone wanting to have sex with an infant?

Me? No.

So you are dating a 67yo woman then? Sorry if I was wrong. You are the only one.

Again, this baffling over-investment into judging the unknowable motives and actions of others.

I don't know if the couples I see are happy or not; or money-motivated or suitably altruistic to my taste. Pretending I do is just waste of time. Whatever they're doing is fine by me, partic if it has some entertainment value.

I like this place because we see the full spectrum of Thai/Western relationships, from transactional monger to late age happy dad. I take their stories at face value and I am grateful to those that share them. There is no place else on earth where you lhear about happy Asian/Western relationships.

Meanwhile, Sparktrader is hot to judge, but shy to share about his own relationship. So really the most useless and parasitical kind of poster. His recent leg-humping about my own happy relationship is par for his usual  course. He's probably a selfish lover too.

Maybe I laugh at you again in your next leg-clinging iteration.

My life is pretty great, enhanced by making fun of low education types who say stuff like pseudo-intellectual. Just a total low class retard. Love it. Great to thump you on your dimwit nose whenever the urge strikes.

And really, I just mostly make fun of you here -and your new lover, "the cleaner". 

Otherwise, I'm a pretty high information poster here.

Unlike you:

Hua Hin . Nice Gyms. I love Hua Hin. Nice gyms.

Radical American liberals 

More he-man, wet-dream fantasy.

I lived in Greenwich Village, Manhattan for decades. I met maybe a couple of dozen far-left types. 

You fear something that doesn't really exist. Just like you know your Thai girlfriend isn't really that into you. 

Your whole existence is just a disinformed tangle of misapprehensions.

I believe it.

Hey...have a go at Sparky but leave Australia out of it.. 

Fair enough. I love Australians here in Chiang Mai.

My question to you (Sparky won't answer): Have you ever been Mel-low?

Are you sober? 

This is your rote go-to whenever anyone even mildly questions you.

Worry about that.

I want to envision a world where I endlessly cling to what some old lady said what about this that or the other thing in Australia. 

But since Olivia Newton John faded, my American interest in your dying drought of a country has waned.

While you still have your fetid nose pressed against the glass of American-anything.

IJust pointing out the irony of being pro union but then choosing SEA to spend money in

This is mad logic:

"I was in a union. Therefore, every waking moment and action I ever undertake again must be completely filtered through that lens. And I better tip. A lot. Because I was in a union".

You have no argument, you're not even mad at people who were in a union. You just want attention,

Did you give large tips to Thais since you are American and don't like workers to be exploited?

This retard faux-outrage makes literally no sense.

Why woudn't a former union worker want unionization and better wages for Thai people? On average, they would.

Urging random, abstract, completely hypothetical and made up people to set Thai inequality right by leaving "large tips"? 

How likely is an expat to come into contact with truly exploited workers like shrimp farmers or cane cutters?

What is it that you're actually mad about here?

A retiree enjoying a cheaper than at home Pad Thai?

He never had it so good living here, but he wants to be mad over nothing.

So call that about one in five here, basically amping themselves into a dimwit frenzy over trans and other BS. Just to amuse the likes of me. 

I keep asking them and they keep running comically away:

Do you even wear the funny red hat? Do you send him your beer money?

Or is this, crying and leg-humping here, your sole contribution to your idiot-cause?

Caveat: I gave the Democratic Party of NC $3,300 this year.

Retards, have you even tossed in dollar-one?

I don't get his bed bug-crazy crusade against Zimmer frames. he mentions them in every third post.

He seems to be outraged that disabled people are attempting to walk.

Why?

What motivates you to this demented narcissism?

Calling out liberals?

This is a dying internet backwater with about 40 regular posters, mostly oldies with Thai wives or LT girlfriends.

Let your clarion call be heard!

Next up:

The OP demands attention and is ready to settle all scores -on a baht bus.

I remember the concept of builder's tea from my England years, but I think it was that they just put two teabags in the same cup.

Most American have been drinking severely under-brewed tea their whole lives.

The young won't bail us out. They are constrained by high housing prices and debt.

They won't be motivated to vote for current high cost/no short-term benefit policies.

They will kick the can down the road, like we did. If we hadn't, they wouldn't have to.
