Sorry mate. This thread is bringing out the worst of the Thai expats. A lot of them come here just to take advantage of Thai women and girls, and are shocked when they encounter expats who don't. You seem to be Thai, yeah? That doesn't mean anything to them. The only way that they can think of themselves as normal is if they agree that folks like us who aren't abusing women are the weird ones.

So now you're hearing things? Hmm. That is not a good sign.

I'm sure that made sense in your head. I applaud the effort.

Not a bit. I like not pissing mucus while my brain gets infected and my I.Q. drops, not having a crotch covered in bleeding sores and having to convince myself that I'm somehow still normal because, 'like, everyone has herpes if you think about it;' and not having HIV. It would take a messed up brain to ever envy that. 'Bro, check this out! I got herpes for life, but she was soooo worth it!' 'Bro!' 'Brooo!" That sort of thinking belongs to the gutter of society, the failures. And once you become that kind of person, you kind of do have to start lying to yourself about just how messed up you are just to be able to look at yourself in the mirror in the morning. And at the end of that kind of person's painful, emotionally numb, unloved life, they'll look around their bedside, and realize that their only constant company throughout all their adventures was the herpes. And then they close their eyes, a beautiful life filled with potential wasted.

Wow, there's only one vote so far and it belongs to some moron who claims he slept with between 100 and 300 women. To that walking public health threat: it doesn't matter which country those women were from; whoever you are, congratulations, you have or have had one or more STDs and likely have illegitimate children you might or might not know about. Sicko. You should move either next door to a clinic or set up shop next to a dumpster behind a 7-Eleven at your rate. Remember that Ancestry and 23andMe exist, so the children you've left behind will eventually find you, a close family member, or a cousin. And then it's only a matter of asking which family member spent time in Thailand. You can run, but you won't be able to hide forever. Child support payments and mentally scarred children will find you, you lunatic.

In what ways are Thai's culture and society different from its neighbors? There might be something there.

That's pretty badass.

Remind me again, what was last month?

Thailand has already won that title.

Well, gee, what changes have taken place during the past few decades in the UK which might suggest a possible cause? Or is the UK the same as it was fifty years ago?

This must be stopped.

That's a...

Asking the real questions.

Sexpats and chilis in every other dish.

Thank you for your rational, calm answer.

I'm realizing that neither of you guys on either side seem to be informed enough to give reasonable answers. None of you actually have teenage children living in Thailand, do you? None of you are high school teachers, are you? Sorry I asked.

Hmm. So, it's not genetic. It's environmental. Anyway, guys, can we please lower the heat in here? The original questions have been left largely untouched.

What's your line of work?

I have a delicate question, and I in no way mean to ruffle anyone's feathers. I do not want to inspire any discussions that devolve into a verbal fist-fight. I have observed that roughly 10%-20% of the local student body cross-dresses and use alternative pronouns when speaking in English. Approximately 40% of the student body openly identify as LGBTQ. Here are my questions: 1.) What percentage of this is due to peer pressure? 2.) What percentage continue to live like this as adults? 3.) Would these people face discrimination from society if they decided that their previous ways of dressing and acting had been "a phase?" 4.) How do Thai parents typically react to their children cross-dressing or identifying as LGBTQ? Thank you for answering and avoiding heated arguments and for respecting the rules of the forum.

@123Stodg Would you please describe exactly how big the age gap here is? And, how are you, physically? Are we talking about a physically healthy, 22-year-old girl in the prime of her life and, theoretically, a mordibly obese, 60-year-old divorced man nearing the end of his? Or, are you a rare genetic lottery winner who's in his fifties but looks like he's in his 30s and who has no health problems at all, no drug addictions, no smoking habits... no grandkids...? Those kinds of factors are important. If it's the former, it really seems difficult to believe that you're anything but an ATM she has to sleep with to get money out of. But if it's the former, it would be a different story.

Within the confines of Thai law, what could a strong foreign man witnessing this sort of beating do? Would he get arrested for trying to interfere? Because, it would be extremely difficult to see that and walk away.

I find the reverse is also true: looking at 20-70 year-olds, it's the middle-aged folks who are the least consumed with righteous indignation. Those in their 20s are just as righteously indignant and dismissive of others' viewpoints as Maher, perhaps more. And that's because it's the people at either end of that age range who are the biggest targets of media propaganda. The media have brainwashed youngins to think that, as he says in the clip, "men can have babies," and that Palestinian militants would approve of the way that young liberals live their lives in the US. (Thanks to those fools, we got Trump Part II and now the nation is screwed. They straight-up convinced the entire nation that those were two of the most important issues facing the country, and so the majority of the country said to them 'No, thank you.' Thank you sooooooooo much, young liberals.) Meanwhile the elderly have been brainwashed by FOX News, News Nation, etc., to think that, for instance, Trump is a competent genius, and that poverty, violence, and drug abuse in the US would somehow lessen if only all of the Hispanics were kicked out of the country or sent to off-shore prisons. Insanity. And both of those extremes have been convinced that they are absolutely right and the other group is absolutely wrong. Pawns, minions, and drones, the lot of them.

This does seem like the sort of thing a colonized people would do. I'm not (re: legal) saying that it is a colonized people, but this is colonized behaviour.

So basically, is it legal or illegal to order Melatonin online and have it shipped to my address here in Thailand without a prescription? Some on here have said that they were able to do this without any problem, and that the Thai doctor friends they knew said it would be okay. However, if I put the question, "is melatonin legal in Thailand" into the Google search box, I get this: Melatonin is not legal in Thailand as a dietary supplement, but it is legal when prescribed by a doctor and dispensed by a pharmacist. It is classified as a drug in Thailand and requires medical supervision. Additionally, melatonin is not allowed to be used as a food ingredient in Thailand, according to the Food Act B.E. 2522. I do not want to spend any time in a Thai jail or explaining myself to any authorities. So, bottom line, once and for all: can I order Melatonin online legally here in Thailand and have it shipped to my Thai street address? Yes, or no? Thank you. I used to use it every night before I came to Thailand, and I really miss it.

Googling it right now, it says it's still illegal without a prescription.
