Sympathy post for you mate

Good points. The other thing to add is farangs don't usually like other farangs because they view them as sexual competitors for bar girls. So they're in this position of not being liked by both locals and farangs

Me and the girlfriend were driving up to Bangkok on Tuesday from Hua Hin and I forgot how utterly boring the drive is. It's a dullard trip. At least in Australia, when we have long boring stretches of road we put a Big Pineapple or Big Banana or Big Lobster or Ayres Rock along the road so tourists can stop and break up the drive. It's why Australia will always be better for tourists than here. I'll be chartering a helicopter next time I need to go up. But then I got thinking, why has Thailand's tourism sector flourished compared to Cambodia? On face value, Cambodia has more to offer; - Better and cleaner beaches and islands around Sihanoukville - Angkor Wat which should be the 8th wonder of the world - Mode fascinating history over multiple periods - More opportunity for adventure and experiences away from crowds - The same high end accommodation offerings as Thailand - Great food and beer and cheaper prices - The capital is right on the Mekong Why hasn't Cambodia caught up to Thailand? Am I missing something obvious here? Thailand is doing a remarkable job all things considered punching above its weight division in my opinion

You're just over-thinking things friend. Try to lighten up and fit in a bit more. Get a copy of the Lonely Planet and try to see a few places and do more local things

Well done friend, I don't get why it takes others so long. The food isn't too bad although it would be nice if they had bigger portion sizes

I never lived there Grumpy Flog. You seen like someone who calls up 5AA for hotel vouchers and holiday's at Murray Bridge

Their second largest export after NDIS recipients

South Australia was also founded by a pleb who was convicted for sexually assaulting a minor. Which is probably why they have such a strong undercurrent of child related crimes

Come to think of it they do have an ageing population and disproportionate number of red heads. It's probably generations of interbreeding

Disagree, your fictional missus and friends are clearly not Thai. The whole premise of the movie is mocking Thai people and their culture. It's very ignorant for people like you to presume you speak on behalf of an entire country and culture

A bit melt Yamu but fair enough. Condolences living in SA

It's not a troll thread. Tell me 3 redeeming qualities of SA outside of their wine? The point is it drags down the rest of Australia

I'm not from SA friend, I have a brain and speak without a lisp

Agreed

It does for me. So much so when I was showing my girlfriend a map of Australia and where I lived back home she asked "what's this place called"? I replied "nothing Darl, it's part of New Zealand". Here are some of South Australia's many embarrassing traits: - Known as the murder captial of the world - Snowtown, family urders, Truro murders, Kupito murders - Both AFL teams suck - Cricket team the Rockspiders are always last and a basketball with no local players - lowest wage on mainland Australia - lots of gays (nothing wrong with it) - most popular attraction is to steel aggots glued on top of one another in the Mall - - their fashion is stuck in the late 1980's with tracksuit jackets tucked into pants and sneakers with jeans Feel free to add to the list / document your thoughts on SA

Yeah I've heard this too. Apparently the top of the barrels is the crown larger because it comes from the "crown" of the barrel whereas VB is the "Very Bottom"

I don't even notice what comes off my bank account tbh so can't help OP. @Ralf001 lives off $100US a month so might be able to contribute

Yes I do; we met last Friday night, I posted a photo but it got taken down

Did lol 😄

I'm just a friendly bloke and enjoy a chat and happy to lend advice to a few around here who could use it

Yep, we're celebrating our 1 week anniversary this Friday. We're already talking marriage and kids and Aussie citizenship and I'm meeting her family this weekend

Thanks friend, it's been a big week!

Most rich people I know become wealthy because they're frugal with their money so I can appreciate where @bob smith is coming from and why he is wealthy. Warren Buffett is the wealthiest man alive but lives like a pleb in Patpong

You sound like @Ralf001 friend. I guess the price is a little high, better to sometimes buy a jug of beer rather than schooners to get better value for money

If you can get your phone number tattooed on them for when they get lost someone can call you to collect it makes sense I guess. I also got my 2nd wife to tattoo my tax file number on her arm so I'd remember it each year on June 30th
