However, Virintra remains optimistic about Phuket’s diverse tourist base, attracting visitors from Russia, Europe, India, and China. And this is exactly the problem, Thailand is attracting lower quality tourists these days. On a recent trip to Phuket all I saw were Russians, Arabs, Indians, Malaysians and a few Chinese here and there. Barely any Europeans, Americans or Canadians. The market has completely shifted and it's not a shift to affluent tourists. Combine that with massive over development and the influx of Russian and Chinese gangsters and you have some major problems.

Only the tiniest of men abuse women physically in any manner. It takes a real special kind of monster to beat up on a woman, hopefully he will be sentenced to a very long stint in the slammer, where he will make a lot of good friends who will treat him warmly and treat him like the tiny man that he is.

I don't follow contemporary pop culture and I don't listen to her music, so I cannot be considered a fan, however I think a generous and charitable spirit on the part of a very wealthy and successful person like Swift is wonderful and should always be applauded and appreciated. I know many devotees of the fake master will try demonstrate fealty to him by politicizing this, but the reality is it's a kind-hearted thing to do and her heart seems to be in the right place.

Any man coercing a young girl like this deserves an extremely harsh punishment, however it should be exceptionally harsh when it's a young relative. That is just beyond the pale, preying on your own family is just demonic.

Any man who comes from the West, decides to settle in Thailand and decide to settle down with the Thai woman, can decide whether or not he wants to be on a short leash. In my particular case that lifestyle never worked so I was just very honest and up front, early on. That wasn't the lifestyle we were going to embrace, I was not going to be tolerant of jealousy and possessiveness on the part of somebody that I was with, and though my woman didn't understand it at first, she sure did after a while, and we have both benefited from a great deal of Independence and neither of us is on a short leash, and it's very pleasant. I recommend that lifestyle to any emasculated man, however if you come here and allow her to dictate terms to you and then later decide that it's not working your only option is to leave, because once you allow her to become a monster there's no turning back, so it's all on you! Be a man or be an obedient mouse. Which lifestyle do you care to choose?

I don't know if it's a loophole but it is certainly very convenient and it does bypass a lot of the hassle and expense of dealing with the bar girl. Sometimes I will just approach a massage lady that is really hot, and before we even go upstairs I'll negotiate the entire package. Once you lay down they kind of have you at their mercy.

Only you would bring up a topic like, this we can always count on you to be partisan and we can always count on you to be somewhat hostile towards half of America. The reality is that though we don't know much about the actual incident that took place, but he has admitted that he slapped a woman, and there is a bit of honor in admitting to a past issue and event. When you compare that to the party and the filthy politicians that you support, they never admit anything, they always deny and they always attempt to obfuscate, and deflect. And they have so many skeletons in their closet they could be New Guinea Highlander cannibals. Where is the honor in that?

Yeah I know a lot of guys that not only don't seem to like many Thais, they don't seem to have much respect for Thai people or culture. Fortunately I really like Thailand, I consider every day I spend in Thailand to be a gift, I wake up every morning feeling really good about being here, and I enjoy my interactions with Thai people. I like them, I respect them, I have affection for them, and I find many Thais to be lovely souls, love their sense of humor and playfulness, and I'm thankful for my attitude and it sure makes life here alot more delightful.

It's so easy for people who don't really understand economics to criticize American companies that manufacture overseas, and yet here's a perfect example of a man who's supposed to be a good businessman, who could have spent $5 having those same bibles printed in the US, but instead he decided to spend $3 having them printed in China. Preaching and pontificating is easy. Walking the walk is alot harder. Actions speak so much louder than words.

So why is the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Division (ATPD), led by Major General Saruti Khwaengsopha bothering with sex toys? It is likely because they utterly refuse to go after human traffickers and sex traffickers, and would rather focus on something that does absolutely nothing to make society safer on any level, but is a far easier task.

No. Certainly not in your case. You are one of the truly reasonable and articulate guys on this forum.

Personally I think women are far better politicians than men, they're less emotional and they're less inclined to declare war, so I'm very much in support of women candidates.

This is a coming from a man for whom lies is a form of stock in trade, in his life, and his business. The man has absolutely no integrity and him telling a lie is like taking a breath for most of us.

Insurance companies are a kind of mafia, and they will use any excuse they can find to get out of paying for any claim. Having said that pre-existing conditions are never covered under most medical insurance or travel insurance. I would never consider visiting the US without travel insurance, through AXA it cost me about 2,500 baht for one month of very good coverage.

If the incident unfolded as stated, than he kind of got what he was asking for. There is never an excuse to be physically forward with a woman without her consent. Some guys come to Thailand and they just have this bizarre preconceived notion that all women are available, and that's anything but the truth.

An utterly bizarre story. People can be so unreasonable. What can one say?

I hope and I pray that he is correct, and there is no doubt that if Trump loses for a second time he will be beyond irrelevant, even MAGA will abandon him, as will the Republican Party. He will be a nobody in the world of politics, and he will just be a clown howling into the wind. Perhaps even a felon in prison. See ya Donnie.

There's just a few rules of thumb that have to be applied. Number one you really have to take your time getting to know the woman, if you're not willing to do that then all bets are off, you've already lost. Number two is never get with a woman who's too young or too beautiful, that is nothing but trouble. No problem finding one that is a lot younger than you and quite attractive, but not early twenties and stunning, that's a recipe for disaster. And number three just bear in mind that the whole game is played differently here, and you don't have to jump over enormous hurdles, you don't have to bow down to uber femininity, and you don't have to give up more than a reasonable amount of treasure, to get what you want. And those that do are considerably less than a tribute to our gender.

Consumer protections are always a good idea and there's nothing but good that can come from this. For the buyer.

His spectacularly ignorant tariffs are the equivalent of a major tax hike on the American public, they're not paid by China, they are paid by companies, and they're passed on to consumers. It is a tax hike, people.

Don't worry Elon keep cozying up to Trump, and supporting him as much as you can, he really loves fealty, and you are doing a good job expressing it. If Harris is elected you might be subject to the ravages of the law, if indeed you're breaking the law.

In my opinion there's one thing that has the potential to make a relationship successful in Thailand, and anywhere else for that matter. Really taking your time to get to know the gal and I'm talking anywhere from 2 to 5 years, before committing long-term. At least two years before you start giving her money for her family and things like that. It takes a very very long time to get to know somebody well, if it's good it's only going to get better, if there are problems, if she's neurotic, if she's undeveloped emotionally, if she has a lot of baggage from a prior relationship, if there are major family issues, they're going to reveal themselves over time. And you can't get to know somebody online, you have to spend a lot of time with them. Online chats don't count chronologically.

You just have to wonder what this guy was thinking take a gun, worldwide carrying a weapon on a plane requires special permission and permits even if it's checked in, so I guess this guy was just being a little cavalier, or he just has very limited survival skills.

I agree. If you talking about the security of a nation you need to be able to keep track of troublemakers and while they're at it they should definitely ban the the niqab and burqa. Both are offensive, and both show a deliberate unwillingness to assimilate. It might work back in your home nation, and it might have worked 700 years ago, but it doesn't work today not in the West. I believe immigration policy should be reformed to the point where it should be staged, and all Muslim families should show a willingness to assimilate. I also believe that families with Muslim daughters who are teenagers can start by proving that they have participated in a bikini contest, and for teenage boys they must show a burden of proof that they're not affiliated with any of the local madrasas of extremist Imans. In all nations should impose a complete ban on every immigrant of the Wahhabi faith, sorry you are just not allowed.
