  1. I have always used Bangkok Bank and I have never had my 800k frozen for four months. The accounts may have been frozen for other reasons eg not keeping up to date info with them.
  2. Well in the young girl and old bloke context, someone who can not afford to buy a house, car and pay for the co called 'sick parents' back home in the village, oh and the sick buffalo. Or a slightly different context, a bloke who pretends he can not afford to do that as he has realised he is about to suckered in.
  3. Women maybe, but young girls are only after the old git's wallet, they are probably good at acting though, a lot of them deserve as Oscar. They probably get a standing ovation from the old git though. 😃
  4. I fancied a few beers with the lads, it was good fun. The plane ticket only cost a day's pay. 👍 I also used to fly to the UK every weekend I was not on the Phuket trip.
  5. You said, "If you don't believe something is possible, it can't happen." I do not believe in magic/fairy tales. Try taking the money away and see what happens. I have never seen a very young good looking woman married/partner to an old bloke who is poor. I did learn one thing, young women with old blokes are after what is bulging and in their trousers, their wallet not the other thing. 😄 But carry on believing in fairy tales, it is funny.
  6. 1.5 hours from Phuket to Bangkok, tourist class as it is not worth any other class for a short flight. Bangkok to London 13 hours. London to Bangkok 11.5 hours. (Jet stream) Lots of drinks, great food, sleep in a bed. I used to go to Phuket once a month for a period of a year while working in Berlin. Leave Berlin on a Thursday and go back on Monday. I flew tourist class then as I was younger.
  7. I fly business class between Phuket and London, and back, well worth the extra cost especially with the 2 meter long flat bed and pyjamas.
  8. I am not going to get into childish personal arguments as it is a waste of time for both of us so we can leave it at that. 👍
  9. But you said you used to go to Benidorm so that is where most Norwegians go as well?
  10. I will just laugh, what a sill bloke you are with your generalised stereotypes.
  11. I can imagine the pick up line. "Hello darling, how much are your melons". 😄
  12. So why the comparison with standard English women and Thai prostitutes?
  13. I agree with your comment re Benidorm, it is well known the lower classes go there on holiday, I went to such a place once and vowed never to go again. I found Swedish women easy to pull when I worked in Stockholm but I won't generalise the whole countries women are the same based on my limited time there.
  14. Never needed to as I had the gift of the gab and could therefore meet regular women as girlfriends, that was while working in Holland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, the USA, the English accent was a great help with the ladies in the USA especially in Texas. One of them at the time in Texas was an ex Dallas Cowboy cheerleader studying medicine. Let's face it now though, if I did want a 25 year old at my age I would also have to buy one as I know young women do not fancy old blokes, they only fancy their money. So I will not be doing that.
  15. I had to get up off the floor after laughing. 😃 You need as much courage to buy one of those girls in a bar as you would when buying an ice cream from 7/11 The difference between the ice cream and the girl is the ice cream has not been passed around by a thousand sad blokes before I get to it. But keep on kidding yourself and we will keep on laughing. 👍
  16. Did they have open sight brothels in the village in Nottingham where you could go and buy girls as is the case in some places in Thailand, I have not come across any in my life as an Englishman. I would like to modify your comment about the freelancer ....."And as one freelancer prostitute I met in Phuket said after watching falang Women out dancing saying with a grin, stupid falang Women, <deleted> for free! " Normal Thai women do not have that attitude.
  17. It seems completely different to the West as far as farangs go. I don't know of anyone in the UK who openly goes to prostitute bars to buy girls as is the case with a lot of the farangs in Thailand, many of them found their wives etc in such places, no shame at all, how desperate. Most couples in England both work and share costs, that is the case in Thailand with Thai couples too with the exception of the bar girls who are out to fleece farangs and as far as I have seen succeed most of the time. The desperate farangs fall for the lies about poverty etc and really feel that Thailand is an exception in the world where good looking young girls really do fancy much older blokes. 😃 I do laugh though when they speak of their house, car etc has been ripped off by the young Thai wives. Just look at Thai marriages and it is easy to see it is not true re old blokes, most Thai couples are mostly about the same age. But a lot of the farangs with bar girls hang around with a similar type of farang thus reenforcing their belief that their life style is the norm. A lot of these guys say people like me are jealous as we do not have women thirty years younger than us, I usually take me wallet out, point to it and say I am sure anybody with one of these could get one from a bar.
  18. The best for desperate farangs who have to buy sex as it is the only way they can get it. I do laugh though when the girls run off with the car, sell the house and the rest provided by their dim, desperate farang sponsors.
  19. Thank you very much for your information. 👍
  20. OK, thanks for your info, there is a drive through 90 day report station in Phuket and it only takes ten minutes to process, no forms to fill in etc, I will do that for the first report.
  21. That is good to hear regarding the ability to do the first 90 day reporting online. I was in the UK for five months earlier this year. I had a reentry visa linked to my non O old bloke visa extension. I arrived back in Thailand on the 8th September and so I have to report 90 days after that, so you are saying you have been able to do the first report online now? I did all of the previous 90 day reports online as it only takes a few minutes. So the date of arrival from now on in my reports will have to be shown as the 8th of September and that will be the case for each of the 90 day reports? Thanks in advance for your reply.
  22. Do the flat earth nutters also believe aliens live among us and that Covid was a scam? I must admit aliens do live amongst us in the USA, I was one for a year in New Jersey while I worked there, I had to fill in an alien immigration card before arriving at the airport. 😃
  23. No as I live in one as well. The security blokes let us residents in and out, they keep the non-resident public out. 😄
  24. The first line is from William Shakespeare’s Hamlet. William, you must be the oldest man in the world.😃
  25. Yes, I can tell you he has a sense of humour, you could look the expression up, some people take themselves too seriously. 😄 But if you are also joking then please ignore my comment. 👍
