I understand. In another thread someone said a condo in Bangkok is only 4000 baht a month - I am still waiting... Pathetic lifestyles some folks lives...

With ALL this rubbish in Thailand, I am sure you will never ever think of living here for more than a couple of hours? Right?

Is it functional?

Please give us a list of countries where you've had good experiences. With stats of course.

Really? Never happened in a 'developed' country?

There are many privileged beings on this planet...

Absolutely! This world is so perfect.

On a bus, a priest sat next to a drunk who was struggling to read a newspaper. Suddenly, with a slurred voice, the drunk asked the priest: "Do you know what arthritis is?" The parish priest soon thought of taking the opportunity to lecture the drunk and replied: "It's a disease caused by sinful and unruly life: excess consumption of alcohol, drugs, marijuana, crack, and certainly lost women, prostitutes, promiscuity, sex, binges and other things I dare not say." The drunk widened his eyes, shut up and continued reading the newspaper. A little later, the priest, thinking that he had been too hard on the drunk, tried to soften: "How long have you had arthritis?" "I don't have arthritis! It says here in the paper that the Pope has it."

I know I shouldn’t have done this, but I am 83 years old and I was in the McDonald’s drive-through this morning and the young lady behind me leaned on her horn and started mouthing something because I was taking too long to place my order. So when I got to the first window I paid for her order along with my own. The cashier must have told her what I'd done because as we moved up she leaned out her window and waved to me and mouthed "Thank you.", obviously embarrassed that I had repaid her rudeness with kindness. When I got to the second window I showed them both receipts and took her food too. Now she has to go back to the end of the queue and start all over again. Don't blow your horn at old people, they have been around a long time.

When you are tired of the rubbish in your own country that you grew up, it's not a surprise that you will be tired of an adopted country. BTW... Why settle down in Thailand?

but in Thailand, I would not expect any woman paying if dating! Thats how it is in Thailand, and many other countries in the world. I beg to differ. Please do not generalise. It ALL depends on the character of the woman. It's pure bad luck that you've met the wrong type in Thailand and wherever... - the normal day to day Thai lady is good as any other found in the East or West.

???? of course I understand very well. We tend to justify what pleases oneself - it's just human. I would like to see a 70 year old man attract a 20 year girl without the money factor. It's the money that makes all the difference - not the male/ female factor.

it's still hard to crack a $100 bill a day here. But we are complaining about 50 - 100 Baht or so inreases in entrance fees.

Yep, I go with the sparrows and flinches.
