If that is true then why haven't you won a day since March?

If they ever outlaw the 7-Eleven ham and cheese toasty, for health reasons, I'll be pissed!

What a horrific thought. Nobody is desperate enough to accept that offer.

Thanks. I’ve done that as well. But still, nothing like holding the originals.

Surely the confusion is yours. One is replaceable and the other one is not.

For me, it has to be my collection of childhood and teenage photos of my mother. Every single one of them holds a piece of her life before I ever existed, a glimpse into the woman she was becoming long before she became my mother. The grainy edges, the faded smiles, the tiny moments frozen in time feel priceless to me. They tell stories I’ve never heard, capture emotions I’ll never fully understand, and remind me how human she is beyond the role I’ve always known her in. If my place were burning down, that box of photos would be the first thing I’d grab. You can buy new clothes, new furniture, even rebuild a home, but you can’t buy back a visual moment once it’s gone.

For me, it has to be my Apple Watch Ultra. Titanium and sapphire, strong as an ox, and weighs a ton, so I never forget it's there. Sleek, precise, tracks all my vitals, keeps me in touch with everyone, plays music, even makes payments. Makes me feel I'm cutting edge, although usually the most daring thing I do with it all day is check the time. Honestly, it’s probably the only thing I love more than my Pornhub account. I know, hard to believe, but life just wouldn’t function the same anymore without that beast on my wrist.

None of my friends who I hang out with use drugs or drink either. Nobody wants or needs it. Is that a problem?

Nothing. Everything is great. Just more of the same I guess. No complaints at all.

Dunno. Never tried any of that. Any good?

Wouldn't you rather have video instead? I got my whole bedroom wired with cameras.

I spend even more on non-hookers. Dinners and travel costs much more than just paying for sex. I don't know how much I spend though. Never look at it.

Delivery drivers in Thailand often keep one eye on their phone screens, following Google Maps to their destination. But do they really need to be so fixated on digital navigation? It’s hard to imagine how else he could have missed the large concrete divider right in front of him.

I have plenty of money. I don’t work because I don’t need to. I eat amazing food. I have sex multiple times a day with women. No wife or girlfriend problems because I don’t have one. No substance issues because I don’t drink, smoke, or use drugs. No boredom, no depression, no health problems, nothing that causes me any stress or anxiety. I also exercise a lot to maintain strength and fitness. Am I doing something wrong or am I too just too much of an alpha heterosexual?

I see you have over 10 thumbs down on your OP above and similarly on most of your other recent topics on the site, with very few likes or positive feedback from others. Is it your personal goal to achieve the top spot for the most disliked topics? Serious question. Meanwhile, you are clearly on track if that is indeed your objective.

Anyone who feels the need to ask a question like that has no ability to think for themselves. People always take advice from other people that they know, trust and respect. It has nothing to do with them being men or women. Grow up and try to learn something about people, life and the world in general. Maybe if you didn't spend so much time on this forum abusing others about their political beliefs, and calling them childishly insulting names, then maybe you would have more time to figure out the answers to such ridiculous questions on your own.

The saddest part is that he admitted he was doing it to pay for a sex change. Think about how messed up that is. He risked his liberty over identity issues and now he is spending 18 months in prison merely because he wanted to get his cock cut off. Those are some tragic priorities. And transsexuals wearing blonde wigs don’t exactly scream “stealth drug mule.” So not the smartest vocation for this guy. But the reality is it's all probably bigger than just this one guy. These operations work on numbers. If the organized crime group expects to make 100 times their investment, they send multiple mules at once. Even if a few get caught, enough will usually get through to make it worthwhile. For all we know, this guy might have even been chosen as a distraction while others on the same flight wearing khaki docker pants and looking vanilla slipped by unnoticed. In the end, it’s more tragic for the mule than for the criminals pulling the strings when the mule gets caught. The operators don’t lose much. The mules are the ones with desperate stories who pay the big price. This guy’s desperation to get penile inversion surgery says a lot. He probably needs psychological help more than a prison sentence. Instead, he’ll likely get chewed up in the slammer and come out even worse after serving his time.

Been seeing this girl for a little while now. Met her online a couple months back, not through a dating app, but through one of those language exchange sites. She works at a small shop in a mall somewhere around the Siam area. We usually hang out at my place three or four times a week. The other night, we went out for dinner, me, her, a friend of mine, and his girlfriend. He’s been with his girl a few years, but he still plays the field now and then. Anyway, after dinner, he calls me up and tells me he’s seen my girlfriend standing on the street in Soi Nana at night a few times, talking to guys. I asked how sure he was, and he said he actually spoke to her briefly once and recognised her voice when we were all out together. She clearly didn’t remember him though, because she acted totally normal the whole night. Now I don’t know what to do. Do I confront her? Or just quietly end things? The situation is actually pretty good. She doesn’t ask for much. I pay for meals here and there, and occasionally help with a small bill or something she needs. But I’m not really up for dating someone who might be working part-time in that scene. Just trying to figure out the best move here.

BBL is not a good bank to use because of the hassles in getting 12 month statements from them later on for annual extensions.

And what do you think yours are like? Never mind, I don't really want to know. I think I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.

Again??? How many of nearly the same topics do we need?

Over a billion people worshipping one man. You've got the same in China and India. How can any of it be a good idea?

Again, I don't really know, but all of my closest expat friends in Thailand have been here at least 20 years and none of them post on this site at all. They might read something if somebody sends them a link to a specific news article, but that's about the extent of their interaction on this site. Even if they're looking for some answers about changes to visa laws or something like that, they wouldn't post a question on this site. What they typically do is speak to other expat friends or do an online search for news articles, maybe go onto the Bangkok Post or The Examiner. And nowadays, many people are posting questions to AI models for answers rather than even searching using engines anymore. And why do they do this, because they don't really put any stock in crowdsourced information or opinions from people whom they don't know. Most of them also don't have a very positive opinion of other foreigners in Thailand in general so that may have a big something to do with it as well. I'm not trying to discredit what you're saying, but this is just based on the knowledge of my core group of long-term expat friends in Thailand.

I would think it's a pretty low number if you are referring to "active expat members". None of my long time expat friends come on here AFAIK. I think there are quite a few that may come for an occasional news article, question or answer, but that's probably about it. If I had to take a guess and, to finally answer your question, I would guess it's less than 5%.

Thank you to everyone, who took the time to cast their vote in the poll and to add something to this topic.
