Every Christmas for me in LOS was also just another day. Christmas is for families with kids IMO, and I had none. Wife didn't care about it either.

No. The headline does not mention Samui/ Phangan. Can be anywhere.

You are correct. I missed that. Anyway, Montha Hotel is the cheese (see my previous post ).

Sorted it for you. No extras, at least when I had a massage there. https://www.booking.com/hotel/th/montha.html Spa Fitness Full-body massage Hand massage Head massage Couples' massage Foot massage Neck massage Back massage Massage Additional charge Fitness center

OP is male.

Ah, on a closer look, you are in Chiang Mai and a male. It's not compulsory to be liposuctioned- just tell her only massage and promise a nice tip if a good massage, OR, get a visiting one from a reputable company- ask a friendly female hotel receptionist.

Obvious place is Wat Po. Not expensive. Want a female oriented spa ( whatever that may be ) good luck finding one of them cheap, however, why don't you try your hotel massage place?

If I won a million on lotto, I'd be on the next plane to LOS.

The back-breaking inflation ..................... was in the 70s Thanks for the correction. My memory isn't what it used to be. Was bad for me as earned basically zero % on my savings after 2007 crash. I used to earn up to ( or over ) 12% on term deposits.

A good saying to remember is "the enemy of my enemy is my friend ( at least till my enemy is vanquished )".

When living in Lamphun I was helping a local clean up after a storm. I didn't have to, and we were getting along quite well, but it's not like he offered to buy me a beer or even offer a cold drink as a prelude to becoming mates.

You joker you,

I agree 100%, but call it a mental defect if you wish, I am unable to simply ignore the past, so cursed to relive it. I find this forum is a good way to forget about it for a while, which is one reason I spend far too much time on it. If not on here, dvd movies work too, so I watch a great many. Never just lie around sunbathing as that lets the memories run rampant. Need to be constantly doing something, anything.

Take the pain? I could if I was dumb enough to get one.

I knew hard working Thais.

Ask what?

No wonder they were so determined to sell that IMO toxic site.

Surprise, surprise, surprise, NOT.

I support it only because it's the only party that has a realistic chance of demolishing the democrat agenda. If the Dancing Dead Dog party had as much chance of doing so I'd switch to them in a heartbeat. For those of a literal mindset- the Dancing Dead Dog party does not exist.

Did you miss the bit about caring about international politics and the US being important for it, or are you adding 2+2 and coming up with 22? Perhaps you can indicate an actual post where I have contributed something to do with domestic politics ie not federal? Perhaps not? Lets hope it doesn't lead to a world depression then. The last time that happened it took a world war and millions of dead to fix.

That's old school nuclear. The new reactors under development, as seen on an Al Jazeera news item, are smaller, built in a factory and transported to the site, and require no additional cooling facilities that may fail. Claimed to be safe. Hoped to be available in a decade, if I remember correctly- might have been 5 years. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/how-the-next-generation-of-nuclear-reactors-could-be-smaller-greener-and-safer How the next generation of nuclear reactors could be smaller, greener and safer

Just not interested enough to pursue every link provided. It's actually helpful to indicate that a quote is in fact a quote, not leave it up to us to work it out.

My windows 7 very rarely gets an update. Re the OP, see if you can set computer to delete history when shut down. Given I know little about the way computers work that may be wrong, and not do much.

and yet their society has functioned for hundreds of years, things get made that other people overseas buy, houses and even multistory buildings are constructed without falling down, society works on the whole in a reasonable fashion. Perhaps education is over rated- I left my imposter but expensive private college with basically no "qualifications", and did not attend university, yet I obtained qualifications for two different but highly skilled occupations, that at that time were mainly learn on the job ( one of which, nursing, is now considered to require a university piece of paper to do- complete BS of course as I'm living proof it's not ). BTW, the British Empire was run by people who's education seemingly consisted of learning the essential subjects of Latin and Greek ( LOL )- not bad for people from an imposter education.

Should the Danes apologise to the British for raiding and killing, their forebears, or the French apologise to the British for treating the Saxons badly, the English to the Celts in Ireland, Wales and Scotland, etc?
