The last time, it could be argued they were inexperienced. This time? And you could make a further argument that the entire bunch, especially Anutin, were incompetent. But now? Don't people learn from experience? Isn't that just simple evolution? Incompetence is no longer an excuse. Stupidity, arrogance, and perhaps indifference, yes. Maybe these guys are simply too rich to care. They certainly are some of the greatest flip flippers around. Indecision, fear and stupidity are a lethal combination.

You are likely right. But, I think for most, there is a point at which emotional intimacy, trust and faith in men might be compromised. Where is that point? Depends on the woman, for sure. But, for some it might be 450 customers, and for some it might be 3,700. I would prefer to know.

I don't like the highly toxic repellent, so I create my own. I mix 50% eucalyptus oil, 25% citronella, and 25% lemon grass. All flying insects hate it. It works really well and the smell is alot more pleasant than either of the latter two, alone. Also, I find after taking a shower, they rarely bother me for the next few hours, unless sweating alot.

I have flown back and forth to the US five times since October of 2021. I was always asked for proof of vaccination by the airlines. Only in the beginning (1st two trips, when one day quarantine was required) was I asked for it, when entering Thailand. My only concern is the mandatory heath insurance, but that appears to be a non factor, in this case. Needed the vaccinations, to do all that traveling. No big deal.

They have never been clear about that. From covid, or with covid as one factor? We know in the US, half of the fatalities are from people over 75 years of age. The flu is also a big killer within that age range.

I personally know women who earn a million baht a year. I have known women who have had six boyfriends, who sent them a total of 100,000 baht per month. I also know a gal who worked in Singapore at a brothel. She was stunning. She earned 3 million baht cash, all clear, in 16 months. Took it all home. Build a gorgeous house, started a business, and is totally independent financially. To this day. That was several years ago. All good. Do not know how she relates to men at this point. And I doubt she will ever be capable of a healthy relationship, after 3,000 men or more, in my estimation. But, she did establish herself. I give her credit for that. With the exception of the men who are clever enough to hire a private detective to look into her background, and pay some real money to do it right, there is no way to know. They all have stories. And most of the stories are ones that they know we want to hear. So many times I have heard friends say, "Oh no, she is new. She has only been working at the bar two weeks. I was her first customer. She worked in a factory before that. I could tell how innocent she was'. Yeah right!

The most popular lie many are trained to tell, is "I have only been working for one week". Also, the student lie works well. "I attend university. I need money for my studies". How about truths? The best one I ever heard was, "me love you tonight, me forget you tomorrow". What a classic.

I have not heard anything about the need for the vaccinations being recent. I don't plan on getting any more of them.

Does anyone know if the new rules apply to expats, who have retirement visas issued within Thailand? Other than proof of vaccination, do any of the new health insurance requirements apply? I was told no, as long as it is a visa acquired within Thailand. Any info to the contrary? I am from the US, and I do travel back and forth quite often.

Nope. Wrong. Medically and factually. Since delta, each variant keeps getting weaker and more feeble, so why fear the opposite, when it is not a science based concern? I refuse to live my life based on fear and paranoia. No thanks. Prefer optimism, especially when it is backed up by facts.

Nah. I prefer the quality of life not wearing a mask, and not carrying around the paranoia of doing such. I will take my chances with a cold, as I have done my whole life.

When I was young, everyone was taught basic swimming. It takes about 10 minutes to learn. Why the fear of water?

I just flew from NY to LA tonight. About 10% in the airport and on the flight wore masks. And I was not one of them! I am more concerned with a cold or a flu than with the wimpy Omi.

Extermination is the only answer for this worm. Capital punishment, with no trial required. Save the state some money. Just put him down. Soon.

What a total buffoon. Amazing he can utter this tripe with a straight face. China seems to have the highest fatalities in the world now. Very few are dying elsewhere from Omi. Very few. The issue is China refuses to be transparent and honest, as usual.

I agree, wholeheartedly. This is an ideal airport as a hub. Nobody seems to know why it remains one of the least utilized airports in Thailand. It makes no sense. Heads should roll. There should be at least 40 flights a day, servicing the entire region, and Bangkok.

Take this dog out. Today. Not tomorrow. If not by the authorities, then by one of the victims. This rabid, foul, angry pestilence of an animal, is the worst kind of dog and does not deserve to live, any longer. Take him out now.

I got a guy at MBK to do mine for 1,500 baht. One year later, the battery is shot. Not worth the savings, unless you have someone very reliable.

The private hospitals here are good. But, they are for those of us who can afford them. Unless you are willing to part with your life savings, he needs to be transferred to a public hospital, ASAP.

And Australian.

I hope I am wrong, but I think 2023 will not be a good year for many stocks. Nor real estate. Best to sell now and wait. Likely will be bargains within the next year or so.

They may not be pocketing visa on arrival money. They don't need to. His people are more bent that Uri Geller's spoon. We all know that and he knows that too. This is mere deflection. They earn a fortune. So does he. I have and immigration officers refer me to a visa agent, who in turn gives them their fee. Denial is in their blood. This is a bit like trying to convince us the RTP are straight arrows. Ha! Sorry. We don't buy nonsense.

I am more concerned about a deep recession, than the other stuff. Putin is capable of anything, as he seems to be an unhinged, power hungry, genocidal maniac. But, let us hope he fails miserably.
