With a marriage visa, your wife can kick you out of Thailand at any time. Sure, you can go through the hassle of switching to another visa, but there's a psychological power thing going on when a wife thinks she can do this.

I went to a couple of cannabis festivals in Bangkok last year and they just weren't as good either. Maybe Thais aren't going out as much now. It's too bad because in the past it was a lot of fun.

Why are you wearing pink nail polish?

Grab and the other delivery services won't bring beer. You can have cannabis delivered, though. Maybe ask if they will stop and pick up some beer on the way for an extra tip.

Drill Baby Drill.

I don't know, but they can't be allowed to destroy business areas or neighborhoods.

The Indian guy kept saying "I didn't do anything" and then, when they were demanding 1,000 baht, "I don't have it".

Very good strategy by the US here. They sent the CIA into the Ukrainan conflict and the results are: keep Russia militarily weak and bleeding, so it is unable to assist Iran. get real world experience with drone warfare, which is now used on Iran kill off thousands of North Korean soldiers that Putin bought and sent to the front lines (nothing to do with Iran, but a side benefit) Russia is sidelined, the US military technology is highly refined, and China is kept at bay because of their oil dependency - especially important because Maduro is now gone. Good job USA.

Today after your swim I want you to get an oil massage. Two hours. It will relax you.

Hemmingway saw this happen about 100 years ago in France. He used to buy a liter of wine, bread and a piece of sausage and watch people who had no idea of the financial catastrophe heading their way: "Travel writers wrote about the men fishing in the Seine as though they were crazy and never caught anything; but it was serious and productive fishing. Most of the fishermen were men who had small pensions, which they did not know then would become worthless with inflation, or keen fishermen who fished on their days or half-days off from work."

I look at "Bangkok in the 60s" videos and it looks much more livable and fun. I don't understand why we can't go back to that time. Why not have a second Bangkok? I don't get why we have all these too-crowded cities.

There are worse things than being alone, which is being surrounded by abusive people. I've seen people get mean with age, and if you yourself are slipping mentally/financially/physically and can't get out of the situation, it gets miserable fast. We have a guy in his 90s in my family who came down with a slight bit of dementia. It set something off in his wife and she can't stop belittling him now since he's not the strong man he used to be. There was even an intervention to get his wife (15 years younger) to stop, but it didn't work. She said she knew it was wrong, but something came over her and she couldn't help herself. Something like this is my biggest concern.

So if all four Brits, now is separate cells, continue to give unhelpful information they may all go free, but if one of them cracks first then he could still go to Thai prison but for not near as long as the others. But if he stays quiet and one of his mates confesses, then he gets a long prison sentence. What do you do in that situation?

Are there limits on monthly condo fees and special assessments? I had a condo in the US and barely got out of it before huge "one-time" fees hit - thousands of dollars a year because maintenance had been delayed for a decade.

Yes. I use the one at MBK Center. It's good, but they raised the price to 600 baht a cut.

I posted one of them above. The woman with a lot of tattoos on her back seemed to be trying to calm down the Turk, but it doesn't show what set things off.

He still seems to be conscious when he first hit the ground - trying to keep his head up and holding the phone. But would hitting his head like that kill him?

Here's the video. Is it a martial arts hit of some kind? I wouldn't know. He seemed to be knocked out before hitting the ground. One slap knocks him out! Swedish man with heavy hand slaps Australian to death in Patong. - YouTube (1).webm

Or just stayed in Dubai. It was crazy to come back, but I guess he thought nothing bad would happen to him.

Being in Thailand definitely changed my view of American women, who mostly seem anxious, withered, on psych drugs, and very unhappy. Corporate women forcing themselves to be happy because they can do it all are the worst. Thai women can be surprisingly dark and depressed underneath the smile and friendly demeanor, but it's more real and at least you get the smile and friendly demeanor.

What's scary is that he's promoting sub-prime lending to small firms, meaning small companies that no one wants to loan money to, even family. This never works.

The USA is terrible, including Customs. They are all union-protected in their jobs and it shows.

Guns are good. This is a scary move by Anutin. It sounds like he has an inkling of future unrest.

Hence, the unique barcodes on the ballots this year that can be traced to each voter.

Does the air pollution bother the average tourist? First time I was here visiting about four years ago in January I didn't notice it, but in subsequent years it's gotten bad for me with coughing and burning eyes sometimes. I don't see how they bring in older tourists with air like this. It just takes a social media influencer exaggerating it in their home language and active seniors from Europe will stay away.
