The horror all those alcoholics must endure for a day. Devastating.

Deranged and self loathing 24/7.

But you are completely not annoying, right?

It's official. The other GG, who is GG 1.0 from my understanding, has apparently replaced you. I wouldn't take it sitting down though. You should take action. Do something about it. Take back your brand! And, no, I don't mean Russel Brand, that pesky serial rapist of London.

So which one fits most comfortably up your anooose? Do tell...

Escape from Palookavile now, with your condoms from Lazada, while you still have a chance! Nothing to fear. The other GG can easily replace you.

It's all rubbish. But I can understand the appeal to someone who has only visited 2 countries in his whole life rather than 90.

You are contradicting yourself. You said you are about the lifestyle which to me means it's more about environs, history, nature, outdoors, and less about the superficiality of interesting accommodations, restaurants and coffee shops. But whatever. That stuff doesn't interest me. And I've never experienced any scenic rides in central Thailand. Not even very many up in the north that everyone believes is so scenic, unless you actually get up into the steeper mountains a bit. If you want scenic drives you are pretty much in the wrong country.

Is this a tourist forum or an expat forum? Most of the members here are well into their fifties and sixties and seldom travel much around Thailand, let alone leave their residences. You are barking up the entirely wrong tree. Perhaps one day you might start a topic that offers genuine insight and is of use to expats in Thailand, though that would first require a modicum of knowledge about Thailand. Until then, your hopes are entirely misplaced. Instead, you will likely continue posting unnecessary videos like these from people who share your pedestrian view of Thailand, all the while imagining you have uncovered yet another hidden tomb in Egypt.

Truly seasoned adults and long-term residents are scarcely interested in such trivialities. The distinction between a well-established expat and a newcomer is immediately apparent with comments like this. The latter remains enamored with quirky hotels and trendy cafes, still chasing ephemeral thrills because they have yet to acquire the discernment that comes with experience. Genuine expats, by contrast, concern themselves with environs and lifestyle rather than superficial, transient venues. Such preoccupations are, naturally, the province of the uninitiated. Unfortunately, no one can be told what the real Thailand is. You have to see it for yourself.

Congratulations. Finally an intelligent statement. Probably just a one off though. So I will curb my enthusiasm.

And your tombstone will reflect that you died from plastic over-contamination.

Anything that holds 20 liters is too big to be called a jug. Call it a container. Those 1.5-liter bottles? Never reuse them. They are made for one-time use, especially those really low quality bottles from TOPS. Reusing them just turns your water into a microplastic cocktail. At this point, you probably have enough plastic inside you to refill your own containers and still have some left over. In fact, your jugs are probably so massive at this point that even Meatloaf in Fight Club would feel underdressed.

Obsessed with fat people much?

Mostly crusty old expat codgers up there on limited fixed incomes living on the cheap. And CM is as boring as it gets. If you find Pattaya boring then CM will elevate your boredom to levels beyond your imagination. Not to mention the burning season and months of the worst AQI in the world every year. You'd be better off to stay in Mopland Oz. But Have fun up there and do send us those postcards of joy.

Guess that means you swallowed the bait then using all your strength?

Off-topic. Reported.

The art of going off topic and hijacking your own OP.

Thank you. What else are you capable of?

Back to your shallow greatest hits again.

I admire your tenacity for continued self reflection, introspection, and confession.

Even so, how is it even considered a measure of anything useful? Someone who tells me they have seen most of Thailand says a lot about how uninspiring and uninteresting that person's life must be and not anything I would ever admire or aim to emulate.

Does your life get better as you age or does it continue to get worse and more depressing?

Very weird.

Cringe.
