All farangs are dirty was that the pot calling kettle black?

I moved back my house in Bangkok recently, 38 kms from the city centre. I'm now living in a very large estate and after living in my condo in PattayaI can't believe how quiet it is here. The people here are very polite and ultra friendly a far cry from the trash that's hit Pattaya since Covid. I first hit Pattaya 25 years ago if only Pattaya would return to those days. Sure people got really hammered at times but they didn't have the desire to hurt somebody really badly as it is now.

I love that title " massage therapist " as there's no prostitution in Thailand. I beg to differ as I know first hand but I will leave it at that.

For several years now I've been purchasing micro shares in racehorses with a good success rate. Up till February this year I was purchasing these shares online without any problems. Recently any attempt to purchase extra shares wasn't accepted. I know I am supposed to live in Australia to buy shares online so I give my friends home address as my base in Australia and I use an Aussie debit card. How come I can't purchase shares now like I used to using the same debit card. Would the company providing the service know where these transactions came from our would it be a bank security issue. All my banking is open for international banking.

The Thai PM emphasized all foreign casino visitors, why not all casino visitors. How would the Thai hiso's and Government officials handle that?

I visit my wife's family members in Korat 5-6 times every year. The thing that gets me in most cases their feet are dirtier than their shoes.

Maybe he was getting instructions from Mr Red Bulls son.

Another one of Donny's brain farts.

I was a regular user of Skype, so I searched for an alternative and now I use Mytello. So far 3 long distance calls have worked fine and the cost has been equal to Skype or even cheaper.

I own 3 properties in Thailand, the house where we live in east of Bangkok city, a town house in the same area and a condo in Naklua. I've given all the tenants the flick in the last few months for keeping the properties untidy and failing to keep up with the rent payments. I even gave my step daughter her marching orders because she owed me 85,000 baht in back rent. Of course she thinks she's been hard done by but her biggest problem is she forks out heaps on every Thai lottery. So sold my town house and now my condo in Naklua is only for our holidays only.

Who will create history and use the free bogs as short time rooms?

How long will it be before some writes on the walls " THERES NO USE STANDING ON THE SEAT CAUSE THE CRABS IN HERE CAN JUMP 6 FEET "

My brother in law went through this and the family persuaded him to join the monk hood. Four years on he's going well as several monks his age have become his friends. So it was a win for every one.

Why tourist rent motor bikes baffles me. Take Pattaya for instance where motor bikes are out of control. If a tourist needs a motor bike to go to his favorite boozer on a daily basis then he needs to change where he lives. I live just off Naklua Road and I go to Pattaya Tai for a drink several times a week. It's 10 baht in a baht bus and a few minutes walk. I've been doing this for 25 years and I'm not always sober but I"m still alive.

In Thailand instant happiness comes with the mention of money.
