I worked with many Filipina nurses, but the only Filipina I'd have married was a hooker in Cyprus. She was gorgeous, charming and spoke perfect English. Time wasn't right for a relationship so I passed on trying to see her again.

I'm boggled, as I thought I was offering constructive advice ie "if you don't like it you know where the exit is", but reading the same complaints for 14 years is quite boring so I'll make your wish come true. Bye.

Those using wheelchairs and baby push chairs are virtually invisible in Pattaya, so I fail to understand your point. I never saw a Thai pushing a baby buggy unless they were with a farang husband. It's just not a Thai thing. As for wheelchairs, disabled Thais understand that Thai roads are not for them.

Oh, you have described my living environment ( in a western country ) to a t. Place is full of <deleted><deleted> committing antisocial acts day and night and narry an official to prevent it. Such may be the case in LOS too, but at least I enjoyed living there.

That was me too.

LOL. Many was the time I wished the traffic in Pattaya was jammed for days, as it might have made them ban private cars and tour buses on the roads- the curse of Pattaya. The roads were not built with the present traffic in mind- too many cars on roads that can't handle them, end of.

There were a thousand things I disliked about LOS, but there's no point complaining as it won't change anything, and living there was a million times better than any other country I've lived in. Posters have been complaining about the same things on this forum ever since I joined it, but it hasn't changed things in LOS an iota.

Agree 1,000,000 % Western country I live in has a gazillion laws and regulations, but has a massive crime problem and I feel less safe here due to violent people than I ever did in LOS.

No one is saying we should "like" selfish and dangerous behaviour, but it's not up to us to tell them how to live. We ain't colonialists, are we?

I was happy about that. Meant I didn't get any tickets. Constantly checking speedo so as not to get a fine is a drag.

I'm sure that Thais are aware of all that, but if they CHOOSE not to do anything about it, it's not up to us aliens to demand they change. If any farang is not prepared to accept LOS as it is, they know where the exit is.

We all decided to live in LOS because we preferred it to wherever we came from. Some things are not so good, but the good things, IMO, outweighed the bad. I'd leave the "advanced and highly regulated" western country I live in and return to live in LOS in a heartbeat, if I could.

There's miles and miles and miles of deserted beach south of Chumphon that they could build on, but as usual they'd rather destroy what was once upon a time a rather nice beachfront town, because they can siphon off get more money for it. It's all about greed. The rot set in when they let the horrid big hotel in the town center ruin the place.

Last time I visited Hua Hin I attempted to walk along the beach at high tide but was unable to do so because the condos had all encroached below high tide line. I guess a few envelopes had been passed to the usual suspects to break the law. I never went back to that corrupt <deleted><deleted> place.

They can buy condos just like you and I can. The title of the thread is misleading.

Chomsky has an opinion, but he presumably isn't psychic so he doesn't KNOW. We all die, and perhaps the human race will all die at the same time, but what will be will be and there's absolutely nothing any of us on here can do to change it. If not the bomb, pollution or overpopulation or war over water etc. Sooner or later humanity is doomed, IMO. It won't be the end of the world as the planet will just start over with another dominant species. Rinse and repeat till the sun expands and consumes the planets before dying.

I worked with many Filipinas and met many Thai women. IMO Thais are generally slimmer and Filipinas speak better English. Other than that, I doubt there is any difference.

We all die, but lack of exercise may result in an earlier death than desired.

Any ex servicemen that were in the Nee Soon area might see the relevance of mentioning Virgin's Corner.

The "boss" in the Pattaya Malibu show used to do a Tina Turner impersonation when that show existed. Pretty good too. Sadly, the Malibu show decided to go full katoey and ended not long after. When it was mixed girls and ladyboys it was great.

Give it up before you dig that hole deeper! https://www.internationalinsurance.com/hospitals/thailand/ You do not have to be a resident of Thailand to access the public hospitals, you will have to pay for your care there.

Interesting fact. She was 28/ 29 when she played a school girl in Grease. From google How old was Olivia Newton-John when she starred in Grease? 29 Although she had little acting experience (and turned 29 during filming), Newton-John gave an indelible performance as Sandy, a sweet-natured Australian transfer student who romances Travolta's alpha greaser Danny at a Southern California high school in the 1950s.

We farangs are, in many cases, loons. We find someone that can't possibly "love us" as we define "love" and give them land, houses and cars etc, Then we wonder why we end up divorced and broke. I didn't buy mine any land or houses, but I still ended up broke ie I was a "loon".

Does Japan teach in schools how they invaded Korea and China, and many other countries and killed many more than tens of thousands of people doing so?
