  1. No, you should have your antenna up all during the relationship. It's only fair too so as not to drag her along in relationship of convenience I waited about 1.5 years before talking seriously about marriage. Almost another year before marriage. Highly recommend not rushing. I only proposed marriage so we didn't have to live together forever in bf gf hell. Hi ... Here's my 68yo gf... If uncertain go for Buddhist wedding only and stay on retirement visa.
  2. Yes, absolutely no sin sot. * I gave a gift to parents I think about 100k. Happy to do so. Add to list: Simple wedding under 250k for absolutely everything you need pay for.
  3. Rather than just like the comment - yes, I remember. All the Lefties on this site decrying...hang him high!! Guilty guilty!! Even when this story and laptop broke open the AN board communists still denied Total gaslighting. That's who they are. A bunch of delusional, patently dishonest people
  4. Generally speaking that's not Thai women 😳
  5. I'm guessing you're not married, never will be
  6. Beware of really attractive women 35++ never married. Possibly too demanding, picky. They've lost all hope of a Thai man and now zeroing in on farang for support. They'll be just as demanding and temperamental Just beware, can still date and it might work. Just gotta keep the pimp hand strong Half your age plus seven is a good rule if you can get it. One problem is generational distance. My wife is 16 yrs younger. We vibe together well, our interests. Somewhat shared cultural things like music. If the woman is too young it probably might not ever really gel. Fine for a few years, enjoy, but not for ltr
  7. She doesn't like flowers...waste of money. Condo is full of houseplants. Yeah, she just cooked steaks and now cleaning up 👍 Sometimes she lets me clean but not so much anymore. To add to my list: Trustworthy, loyal. No kids, doesn't want them Never married 39kg (now about 43). Get em skinny! I met her at 32. (recommend as general rule women between 27-35 for marriage) Can book things and plan trips. Washes, irons (80% her clothes) City mouse not country mouse Ok with relaxing at home Doesn't need to be constantly amused Okay with you going down to Sukhumvit for ... beers
  8. My wife. Lucky me Even temperament, never angers Helpful Quick to smile, laugh, joke Honest in every way Clean. Cleans everything without compliant Not concerned with details of my finances Decent, corporate job Enjoys travel, different cultures Can eat farang food from time to time Attractive, petite Ok to present to your family Her family is not drama. Parents married. Family has good relations Loves ocean and can swim or will learn Can/will learn to speak English Hates cats Can cook steak Can save money for her future
  9. Well, move the F out of UK! It's a total loss at this point anyway. Thai women are lovely
  10. <deleted>. French women are double crazy. Ugh
  11. This is total bull<deleted> The Steele dossier was entirely fabricated. It wasn't about the use - it never should have existed. Definitely, coup plotters. If in too much denial read more sites based in reality and stay tuned.
  12. Don't dispute any of that. Wouldn't be surprised if he has diabetes, gout as well. He's quite heavy although many photographs don't show that.
  13. Could be. Also drinking problems, SMOKING... Many guys are super skint and really have personal policy of not spending anything on women (they have no experience with [normal] relationships). Might be actually looking for a real relationship. Although a friend told me if they like you and you say nah...no ltr they'll agree to a ST for cash 💰 I knew a few normal guys like me, but most were well off base Another reason I liked Pattaya was that I could get laid without getting entangled in relationships. I didn't want to string a woman along even if I was genuine about the relationship. I wasn't a forever guy at the time. TBH dreg tourists on lower Sukhumvit are cut from same cloth. Many that live here dress horribly also. Pattaya... truly the island of misfit toys
  14. This is impossible. It's silly for you to even suggest it. Girl in the wild lol ... That would be an online dating app? How many girls in the wild speak English? How many willing to put up with typical noob farang BS? How many days of their ten day sex holiday do they need to go without before stumbling into a girl that will hook up with them? What if they don't want to rent the woman for days? In fact, hourly is fine. Most men in Pattaya dress like sh it, look like sh it, eat sh it... That's not going to appeal to the average Thai woman Where would you expect this lot to travel in their ten day holiday to find fun, drink, companions? Do tell bc you've proposed just that What if unlike you are not a very handsome man?
  15. I'd visited and used it as RnR between 97-02. From 02-09.5 I lived there. It was a different place, but here's why it worked for me ... 1 Getting into BKK was a mess as was dealing with taxis OR hop a bus to Pattaya for half. Time to get to Sukhumvit not all that different than Pattaya in those days. 2 I had a serviced apartment in Pattaya that was b4500 off 2nd road, ground zero. I think it was soi 7. I later moved up near 2nd road to a newer, better, bigger building b5500 unserviced. Decent, clean rooms were b350nt. 3 I traveled south Thailand peak high season and avoided the mess although nothing like today 4 As a local, I walked everywhere. We would follow a network of small sois and totally avoid all the tourists 5 Pattaya was not crushing as BKK and has small town feel low season. 6 Beach wasn't a strong point, but I knew a few vendors I could sit and not get hassled. Just read, enjoy the day, get over hangover. There was the Navy station or Wongamat if you needed a decent beach. 7 Heavy competition between gogos sometimes even doing free and buy 1 get 1 promotions. 8 I developed a little group of broke fallen angels that would constantly stop by for: drinks, cash, a nice meal, sleep in AC, companionship. The only time I paid bar fines was when I checked out a bunch of girlies and we either had a big lunch on Pattaya beach or went down to Bang Saray (which was a tiny fishing village at the time). We'd get hammered and a few would end up back at my place. 10 Bangkok was fun for a lark, but staying more than a few days I found the air pollution overwhelming. Despite being thousands of more vehicles on the road the air is better now. 11 I love the beach and the ocean. In Pattaya you have a bit of both. While it's a real privilege to live near or on a beautiful beach the reality is most are not that lucky. I differentiate between coastal places that you can live in places that you holiday since those paradises are so few and far between. That's why I would leave during high season for a few months and head south and visit those beautiful places... and still do 12 I was pretty healthy at the time and really needed to go to hospital but Pattaya memorial was 5 minutes from me. If more serious there was Sirikit and BKK. 13 At the time I could speak fabulous Thai compared to my farang compatriots. There was a certain level of respect that I received from the Thais because no farang spoke any Thai. Everyone was very welcoming, friendly and that was extremely different than Bangkok 14 Open markets, food, goods shopping all easy and walking distance. At the time there was good Thai food about 15 If I had to guestimate I bet I spent a solid 25% ++ less living there AND it was a far more chill, fun environment. There was an influx of crazy young British men around 05-09 with the weak thb. No idea when that ended I left in 2009. They were a menace. No Chinese, Russian, Indians. After five years kinda full time and changes I was seeing it was time to move on. I met my now wife while traveling in south Thailand in 09. Never went back. It started to get weird as well. Bar girls give me the typical tourist questions about this and that. Reality was I was living in Pattaya before they hit their teens. These girls all about money and lacked the fun and charm of years past. Then...same as now in BKK gogos if you speak any Thai they up and turn tail as you're no easy mark. I recall when no one wanted to live on soi bukhow bc it was too far back from Beach Rd lol. When LK metro was built and largely empty. Some months I spent as little as 400usd like 15k thb at the time. There was always a mafia, crime element to be sure. Mysterious deaths 1x a week. Farang a few a month some sketchy, many old guys with health issues. If you're not living in Bangkok just passing thru I think BKK was very boring during the day at that time. Hua Hin and CM bigger bunch of nothing than they are today. Phuket has always been an overpriced hell. That was then - many years ago.
  16. This vaccine is also suspect. I wouldn't encourage anyone to get it. I wouldn't be surprised if the article was bought and paid for by big pharma
  17. Wait a minute It increases the risk / odds. Having multiple partners does not in and of itself make it more likely. No different than anything else.
  18. Agreed, but he is 80 and does play a reasonable amount of golf albeit jumping in out if a cart. More than most American geriatrics
  19. US is integrating crypto, looking to adopt stablecoin. Some in Thailand feel need to copy the effort despite no demand.
  20. Next time you pass thru immigration have a look around you
  21. He's totally incompetent. He'll be running for VP. His handling of everything in memory a literal disaster Homosexual men can fix their epidemic overnight. Stop having anal, risky sex with strangers. Simple
  22. As I recall according to Post that would be young homosexual men. Same as US. US is 66% of new cases
  23. Crickets... C'mon beta brokies!!
