So it turns out that a 25 y.o girl has bigger balls than all the republican "men" who cower in fear of the orange haired dictator wannabe....how appropriate.

That gal has bigger balls than 99% of the republican congressmen and politicians who are scared to death to cross dear leader.. i cannot imagine the threats that she and her family will likely get for years....now get ready for all the attacks on her with all kinds of bs lies about her personal life etc... Meadows and others no doubt picked her and obviously they all thought she would just shut up and do what she was told regardless of what she heard and saw with her own eyes/ears....just like the see no evil hear no evil trumpers......wrong. Now of course trump acts like he doesn't even really know who she is even though her office was steps away from his and his inner circle obviously called her frequently....and of course she worked for his chief of staff so does anyone actually believe that he hardly knew who she was? My guess is he was likely eyeing her every time she walked by which would fit his grab em by the pxxxy <deleted> to a t.

or just when in thailand follow the thai practice of a simple wai...seems to me they got it right and much more civilized and sanitary than the western handshakes...all the fist bumping and elbow bumping gets a bit goofy and awkward after a while IMO

not really anymore but thanks for asking......at least touching the gals has a benefit but yet to see the benefit of shaking hands with bunch of guys in a bar....

old enough to know that every time i think i have seen it all i find out i have not

no doubt but why exacerbate it by going around shaking hands

i am talking cost to build and maintain and you i think are talking about the fare?

for me it would be a great bargain..i doubt that very many tourist would pay any attention at all to paying less than $1 usd to get around....it's peanuts

and exactly how much is a light rail system going to cost? will it be elevated like bts...or run down the middle of beach road at ground level? so take away a lane or two so more congestion? if elevated lot of people will complain it blocks views? underground? even more $$ and flooding problems? rail stations with escalators, massive amounts of steel and concrete? Pattaya can't even seem to pave walking street much less build and maintain a serious rail transport system.... baht bus not perfect but better than adding more giant buses spewing smoke and heat and also clogging roads...i suspect the vast majority of tourists think baht buses are fantastic and would happily pay more than 10 baht....without baht buses the additional taxis, tuk tuks, motorobike taxis etc would likely cause even more traffic snarls...and taxi drivers in places like phuket don't exactly endear people to them by ripping them off nearly constantly.. i prefer baht buses....and of course they could be regulated a bit more but TIT

The Pattaya baht buses are one of the BEST deals anywhere.....without them exactly how would you propose that tourists and people with no cars who don't care to ride motorbikes get around? would you prefer a few thousand taxis or giant buses roaring around?

it was not the normal presidential limo it was an armored SUV where the back seat is much closer to the steering wheel and there is no glass partition https://www.curbed.com/2022/06/trump-grabbed-wheel-limo-january-6-capitol-riot.html

As we all know most bathrooms in Thailand generally don't have hot water or soap or any kind of clean cloth or paper towels to dry your hands if you do wash them. I have been in many bars where guys would want to shake hands and I really do not WANT to shake their hand as i would bet it's not very clean to say the least. Some guys seem a bit offended when i instead offered a simple wai or maybe a fist bump. I do not want to shake a hand that maybe just came from the toilet or just got sneezed into as I do not want to pick up germs if I can avoid it. Seems to me the Thais have it right that a simple wai is a preferred method of greeting etc and avoids the whole issue of spreading germs. Maybe just a pet peeve but why do so many people seem hell bent on shaking hands?

John Dean on steroids....WOW

How many of the anti abortion men on here have ever had unprotected sex with a gal? Ever had a condom break? If you did were you fully prepared to marry her and /or support a resultant baby if she became pregnant for the next 18 years or so? If not then shut up with all the anti abortion talk and let the girl decide what to do with what YOU deposited into her body.

Best I ever had to cut my bamboo was a couple of thai guys with manchettes...no ladders needed and they did a heck of a job in a fraction of the time it would have taken me to do it with no risk of injury to me....IMO some jobs are just better left to the Thai workers. They even whacked out a nasty bee nest that would have likely sent me to the hospital.

One big plus for me of wearing masks a lot and sanitizing/washing hands a lot more than before is that i have not had a cold in over two years. I used to get at least a couple a year which would whack me for a week or more. Of course as fewer people wear masks and practice hand washing i fear the cold viruses will have a big party and sooner than i want i will be a host.

Because there are millions of people who have zero clue about how to budget or manage their resources and continue to be unable to differentiate between needs and wants and what they can and cannot afford....so they have to blame somebody/something for their own failure to have learned over decades how to plan to live within their means. If you can't live a decent life in Thailand on a relatively limited budget it is not Thailand's fault. It is your fault.

are the chinese tour groups back in force in pattaya yet? i really don;t enjoy staying in tour group hotels ...elevators restaurants pool buses noise smoking spitting etc so prefer to avoid that if possible

Yes. I lived next door to a temple in CR where women came for two or three days, wore white, and did a thing where they walked very very slowly around a nice marble floor area...i was told it was a way to calm the mind and meditate...and by slowly i mean maybe one step every minute. Interesting to observe. Not sure i could do it.

Yeah be sure and do that if you are being raped with a knife to your throat. Or if you get drugged or drunk or some guy has his way with you when you are 15 y.o. because he tells you he loves you and you believe him.

Thank you...that is sort of what i was afraid of as it just has that big tour group look and not sure i want to deal with all that in the elevators and restaurant etc....think i'll stick with the ole reliable sutus court for about same price without the aggravation

Amazing how many men many of whom don't know a clitoris from a cauliflower think that they should have the right to tell any woman what to do with her own body. Millions upon millions of men encourage girls not to use birth control, refuse to wear condoms and then take zero responsibility for a kid that results. The woman knows that any kid born will be HER responsibility to provide for because she has known since puberty that men want to get laid for their own satisfaction and generally don't give a <deleted> what happens to the girl. I have heard many many men brag about paying bar girls extra not to wear a condom because it's not as much fun for the men.

Both of these hotels look pretty new and decent and close to soi buahkhao. Vogue is showing at about $15 usd a night and P Plus slightly more on various booking apps. Anyone ever stayed there or have any first hand knowledge. They both appear to be the kind that perhaps big tour groups use so maybe that is not so great? Thanks

How many of the bible beating right wingers who applaud letting the government force a woman to give birth to a baby that she does not want would feel that way if their daughter/sister/granddaughter/niece if their gal was raped by a gang banger? What if said girl is 14 years old? My guess is close to zero...they would secretly send her away for an abortion. Bible beaters have been sending girls "away" secretly for decades to get abortions. Hypocrisy at it's best. If you do not want an abortion no one is forcing you to get one. If you do, for your own reasons, want an abortion than a bunch of religious zealots should not be allowed to pass judgement on you and deny you the right to control YOUR body. I for one am sick and tired of religious hypocrites trying to shove their beliefs down the throats of others, playing holier than thou, and of course supporting a wannabe criminal dictator who just grabs em by the pxxxy, encourages violence, mocks the handicapped, lies and cheats his way through life, and if "his" man jesus showed up at mar lago would spit in his face.

just to reconfirm are you absolutely sure you can do two visa exempt entries via land per calendar year? and also then extend each of those another 30 days at thai immigration? thank you for first hand info.
