Has anyone had a good experience dating/marrying a bar girl or prostitute in Thailand?
Being a cashier is easy work and it's not boring like pretending to like customers and hoping all night to get rented out. It's also regular money and they all share in the tips end of the day. What many farangs don't know, coming from a greed based culture, is that sometimes money isn't the objective.

Has anyone had a good experience dating/marrying a bar girl or prostitute in Thailand?
Long post so I'll only comment on that. I had two LT relationships. Lived with a non hooker western woman same age as myself. Turned out to be a using <deleted> from hell. Married a Thai hooker, met her in a bar so I knew what she was, and she turned out to be a harpie from hell. In both cases I started the relationships believing that they were good women that I could have a future with. In both cases they were as good as it gets for the first year. Four years later with both and we were done. IMO the chances of finding Miss Right are as good as winning big on Lotto.

Do tell how we are supposed to know if she is a good girl or not? Do bad girls come with horns? None of the 50% of married men that got divorced knew their wives were not going to be Miss Right on their wedding day.

Is This the Britain the D-Day Generation Fought to Save?
The UK has no trouble ignoring a heap of UN laws in a certain situation, so they should have no worries about ignoring that one as well.

Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
One assumes that to accept defeat will be so humiliating for Zelensky and his western supporters that they would rather continue to the bitter end that concede it's over. I have no confidence that an iota of consideration for the cannon fodder troops that will die exists in their hearts when it's their positions in power at risk. I can think of another "leader" is a similar situation too, somewhat far away from Ukraine.

Seems some would prefer Thailand to have been ruined by fighting against an undefeatable army. It took the atom bomb to defeat them.

Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
They have history on that. In Afghanistan they apparently did that by supplying just enough weapons to keep them in the game against Russia without winning. That didn't change till some US politician forced them to supply ground to air shoulder launched missiles.

Israel is at War - General discussion (pt3)
Stating the blindingly obvious. It's apparent to all but the willfully blind that when it comes to israel some western leaders are all too willing to ditch the rules. Shame on them for doing so when they take a 180 degree approach to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Biden Pushes for End to Israel-Hamas War with New Ceasefire Proposal
IMO it would be like prior to 7/10 but 10 times worse for Palestinians. It's been worse for West Bank Palestinians since7/10, and I suspect that once the conflict ends that will be increased. IMO the plan is to make life for Palestinians so bad they want to leave, and that likely includes Arab citizens of israel. Short of a two state solution, and I see no way that is going to happen "voluntarily", how else can israelis be free from the threat of violence against them? However, given the level of hatred the Palestinians must have by now, I expect the future threat to come from outside Palestine, anywhere in the world that israelis are.

Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
IMO it's just another "this is going to win the war" propaganda exercise. I very much doubt the US is going to risk the latest tech falling into Russian hands, so the planes may not be as good as the MIGS. Perhaps they'll end up shooting drones far away from the front.

Seems she thinks Ukraine is all that's going on in the world. She also doesn't understand that the US doesn't have loads of instructors hanging around waiting to be employed. Seems it's all going wrong for Zelensky and co.

Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
Sooooo, all Russia has to do is send 1,000 drones and an entire year's production is gone, leaving the sky open for the next 1,000. That's assuming Ukraine even gets a full year's production.

A Question For Retirees On A Retirement Visa Extension In Thailand

Low Cost Cataract Surgery

Low Cost Cataract Surgery
Sounds like a money maker. There is zero need to stay in hospital after if the op was done under local ( very rare not to be ). The UK stopped overnight stays for cataracts about 2006, though that may be a year before or after. They even closed the cataract ward in the hospital I worked in- day stay only. Patient arrives, gets eye drops to dilate the pupil, puts a gown and hair cover on, goes into theatre, local anasthetic drops, about half an hour later plus or minus goes back to wait for the surgeon to check, then goes home. In rare cases the patient may need sedation if they can't stay still.

Low Cost Cataract Surgery
Agree. If an eye operation is botched ( it happens ) it could mean blindness. IMO the most important thing is not getting both done at same time. Cataract operations are basically a standard procedure, only the surgeon's skill varies. Best get a surgeon that has done a lot in a reputable hospital and try to speak with a prior patient.
