  1. Too much of a simp to ask for monetary compensation for the scratch?
  2. I have found it to be rare. I can't seem to socialize in higher educated more wealthy circles here where those types of women would be. It's always people who are less well off or just not real successful compared to how I was brought up in my home country. I noticed this after about 5 years here. After the vacation vibe wore off I started to wonder why I was around all these skint people, or just people that were not educated and my idea of "successful". For example, I was not a big cheap beer drinker and flip flop wearing guy back in the Usa and I probably would not want to marry most street food vendors I met. A lot of it is not being able to work or do much other then retired vacation type stuff. That limits my options for "successful" women, at least in the class I feel I belong to. The only option I see is to maybe get a nicer living situation in Bangkok and start attending activities where upper class people would be. Maybe taking classes at the University and attending cultural and professional events that don't involve working and the work permit thing.
  3. I never offer to help guys who Bob their heads up and down at the foot of the bed. Just me...
  4. I would bet you're losing money though with the trust everyone once method.
  5. A great way to go broke.
  6. The room was humid and hot. Fan was running and the building smelled of sweat, recently mopped linoleum and desperation. Through a grated security door I saw something moving out of the corner of my eye. It was an elderly foreigner man, skinny, no shirt, rather unkept, a days beard unshaven. His head was bobbing up & down at the foot of the bed...
  7. Isreal has wanted gaza for a long time. It has nothing to do with that small border attack. That land on the water there is very valuable for some reason. I heard Trump comment on it while he was talking once how valuable it was.
  8. I can't imagine giving anyone a loan here. I have never been asked either. If someone did ask me I would just laugh.
  9. Not sure what you are babbling about here. Anyhow, like the room better and don't sleep in lobbies. I also took a nice coffee cup to use. I think it's gold plated.
  10. He was an elderly chap, no shirt on, very skinny, head bobbing up and down at the foot of the bed...
  11. What a lot of time and hassle over a tablecloth. It would have been easier to just borrow one from the closet.
  12. I started getting erections in the morning when I was about 13. They call it "morning wood".
  13. The reason they have those grated doors is because it allows airflow through the room without having to pay for a/c and gives some privacy, not so much for security. I never saw flybird, but it looks one step down from nirun. Maybe no pool, shops, etc. I saw something similar to this when I stayed in VT 2B. No grates, but as I walked down the hallway I saw some guy through a half open door just sitting on the end of his bed staring into space, room was silent. It just felt strange, weird vibe. Like someone had been stuck there due to a bunch of problems and had no way out. There are many guys like that, running out of money and washing up in some third world hellhole. That guy must have had an interesting life story. Most likely had some sort of broken family and resulting financial difficulty. Whatever it was, he was doing the best he could, maybe sending a message and warning to you about your future...
  14. Not realistic due to the cost. It's incredibly expensive to incarcerate someone. I think the figures were more then just giving someone a middle income for life.
  15. Mark1969 replied to Des1's topic in Political Soapbox
    He can't keep getting re-elected. Term limits are written into the Constitution.
  16. I used to have a maid that said kaa all the time.
  17. No, it was before they had the vaccine available.
  18. It was all over the live news when Covid hit. There were so many bodies they had to use freezer trucks outside the hospitals in the Los Angeles area. Had body bags lined up on the news.
  19. The hospital stories with bodies lined up were faked?
