Fast forward to today, Pattaya is far more than a beach destination. The city offers cultural experiences, eco-tourism, luxury amenities and a wide range of bars and Gogos from which to rent women for the night. Fixed it for you.

Improved roads Modernised public transport. Have they built that monorail then? facilities catering to family-friendly tourism. They managed to fool some family friendly resort owners to build up in North Pattaya, but apparently the little busters remain with the resort grounds as not much in evidence whenever I was in Pattaya

Once a serene fishing village along Thailand's Eastern Gulf Coast, Pattaya has morphed into a bustling tourism powerhouse over the decades. This remarkable transformation springs from prostitution, including girls, boys and boys that want to be girls. Fixed it for you.

since the 70s.

Family friendly is IMO a lie perpetuated by those that hope to tap into bigger profits. One has always known that it is foolish for a farang to swim in the sea off Pattaya. I used to go to Jomtien to swim.

Is that a problem for you, and why?

Being familiar with Thai fishing villages I doubt you'd want to live in it.

Do I detect a trace of wowserism there?

I would be good to see Mexico finally paying for the wall with a levy on remittances.

Unless you volunteer to take care of the baby Uni will be a bit difficult. Best get the baby adopted or she's never going to have a life of her own otherwise. For feck's sake get her fitted with a coil or it's going to happen again.

IMO wings are BS. I have such differing opinions on myriad subjects that one's head would explode trying to put me in a political box.. People are just people that have opinions of certain subjects, end of.

Right wingers are IMO in favour of wars and such like unpleasantness, but Trump has proven he does not share the blood lust. Biden was more of a right winger on violence than Trump.

If he was a so called "normal" person he would not have been elected the first or the second time. BTW, there is no real "normal" when it comes to people. All 8 billion of us are different. People confuse being in a flock with being "normal".

He was elected to destroy Washington as it is, so yes, it'll be interesting how he gets on with that task. I can think of a few Washington government establishments that need a complete overhaul, or being abolished. BTW, I doubt the POTUS decides who will be an officer in the US military, so he can't put cronies in charge, and in any event the troops do not have to obey an illegal order. I do not expect a US version of the Burmese military to occur except in the fevered imaginings of Trump haters.

Every young man should make a copy to keep in his pocket. Every time he thinks he'd like to meet a nice girl he could pull the photo out and look at it till the urge goes away.

The problem with that is that Hunter is a very bad man. He deserves to spend a long time in prison. With any luck daddy could share a cell with him. Sod magnanimity when it comes to any of the Biden clan.

You do know that Trump was POTUS before and none of your chain rattling happened, don't you? It was pretty good as we didn't have any American wars starting for 4 years. BTW, what has Trump to do with this topic? Are you compelled to put silly anti Trump posts in every thread?

Can't beat nature. Humanity has behaved very badly towards the host planet and Gaia is going to punish us for it. The world must act swiftly LOL. IMO never going to happen, and in any event IMO nobody has any real solutions to prevent an entirely natural event occurring. I'm sure a few more taxes will be levied, a few more trees will be grown, a few EVs will be sold and a few windmills will be erected, and a whole lot of profit will be in the usual suspects wallets,but the result will be no more than what Canute achieved. IMO the green parties of the world should proclaim Canute their patron saint. I've been waiting a long time for someone on here to come up with actual policies that are affordable, acceptable and effective, but I suspect I'll still be waiting in year's time.

As I see it people looked at what was on offer and chose the one that ( despite the Dem's propaganda ) made many American's lives better the first time he was POTUS, compared to one that was in lock step with Biden, who did not make many American's lives better. When it comes to it, people will vote on what they think will benefit them, not on any irrelevancies. I loathed Harris for many reasons, but If I were a US voter and thought she had policies to benefit myself I'd have held my nose and voted for her. Trump may be as bad as so many accuse him of being, but it's irrelevant what their personality is when it comes to our personal benefit.

I'd love to know why 2 people thought that post was funny. I doubt I'll get an explanation though as they will be hiding behind emojis as usual.

I don't know why he does, but I do because the west should behave better. Nobody expects the other side to have morals or play fair, but when the side of "democracy, liberty, justice and freedom" behaves like a bunch of barbarians with better weapons it's disillusioning and very, very sad. I've pretty much given up on the west having morality when it comes to other countries. As I see it not much difference between the west and the other side- behaving as badly as the enemy.

Oh dear. It's a bit of opinion between people that don't know each other about a topic none of us know a lot about, not a treatise on international relations in the UN security council. Unless I actually insult you I don't know why you are getting exercised about it.

I wasn't talking about that. I answered your question "I asked why Russia appears to be given a free pass."

Probably same reason as most of us. Think it's going to be sex without having to go look for it in a bar. Usually wrong. Re the lottery, agreed. Contract with an escort agency would be the cheese.

My rental always came in useful for minding the bags while I walked around looking for a place to stay. It was way cheaper renting in Pattaya and taking them to the islands. Many places on Thai beaches didn't have rentals available, and the ones in the town were far too expensive as scarcity increases prices. When I was working in Saudi I was able to afford Bkk Gogo rentals, but the UK isn't as lucrative to work in, so it was a stop off in Pattaya on the way south. .
