You have an empty, disappointed, disatisfied, discontened life.....typical of many Westerners adrift in Thailand. There "really isn't much to do" because there really isn't much to you. It's nothing to do with wherever you are right now........Isaan or anywhere else.

He's 37, she's 36, kids 10 and 8. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/were-fed-up-uk-life-35550315

"Former U.S. soldier" is the headline. 😉

The foreigner who adopts an "enhanced" Thai lifestyle will live very happily and make few enemies.

“It was all surface,” Phakamon remarked. “No real substance. Just a hollow concept dressed up to impress" A statement that invites an infinite number of comments comparing and contrasting what seems to be promised with what is actually delivered by "The Thailand Experience". 😉

Rain apparently. You'll have to speak to him or his therapist about how the "rain means I have to get my kit off and ride around with dildos" connection was first formed/established. How did your compulsion to hide under a table with a pineapple when you hear the words "Sergeant Bilko" get established?

The bicycle seems to be unwisely positioned on the carriageway, There is no evidence whatsoever in the video to indicate that the bicycle was in the process of "crossing over into his lane". The evidence seems to indicate that the pickup driver utterly failed to read the traffic ahead of him and/or did not take appropiate action to avoid collision or, rather more worryingly, deliberately manouvered in order to hit the cyclist.

The "establishment" entered into an unholy alliance with PT in order to defeat FF. If it turns against PT it wil force PT and PP into alliance and have the vast majority of the electorate against it.....the last elections showed what the people don't want. If it turns against PT it will not finish with a coup. Thailand has been sailing in uncharted waters since 2016......."here there be sea monsters".

It would be misguided to think, for one moment, that the people demonstrating (The Network of Students and People for Reform of Thailand) have the slightest desire whatsoever to see PP running the country.

Kwai Chang?

The fact that he is the only motorcyclist in the video wearing a helmet should earn him a commendation from the police and fines for all those who are not.

While some coups have been vociferously supported by a minority of the population and the state subservient Thai media, very few, if any, have been widely supported. The lack of opposition to the coups, due to fear of terrifying retribution by the military and the clique that favours it, also does not constitute wide support for them.

You can't do anything. Nobody contributing to AN can do anything. Nobody who could do anything is in the least bit interested in the opinions of anyone who contributes to AN.

What about the other 52 Brits on the plane who did not survive? What happened to their British toughness? Stupid, stupid OP.

But it's not news.......it's just an opinion piece.

Visiting AN gets more like "Walking with Idiots" everyday.

Yours is the troll you ridiculous know nothing: "According to the 2021 Census, 33.8% of English and Welsh residents aged 16 or above have a university degree (including certificates, diplomas, undergraduate and all postgraduate degrees). This is equal to about 16.4 million people in England and Wales with a university degree in 2021" https://www.findamasters.com/blog/11522/how-common-is-a-masters-degree

"No cud just liked it. Do you say that someone who smokes cigs daily has cig use disorder". DSM-5, The US handbook of problematic mental stuff, classes it as a "Disorder": https://www.theravive.com/therapedia/tobacco-use-disorder-dsm--5-305.1-(z72.0)-(f17.200) I consider my own cig smoking for 10 years (16-26) as an addiction.......and stupid I consider any cig smoker I encounter to be an addict.......and stupid.

The aircraft that have been destroyed are capable of delivering conventional or nuclear weapons.....they have been launching long range conventional weapons against Ukraine. They are not part of a specifically nuclear offensive/defensive system. You are just regurgitating alarmist/threatening Russian propaganda.......silly man.

Social media, which is where you are as you read this, is an equaliser..........the physically strong and aggressive have no advantage. It's a wonderful place for people to call out the sort of people they disapprove of/dislike without getting punched in the face. That's what it was made for. 🙂

Failed State.

As you are almost certainly the loneliest man contributing to AN, and a regular visitor to Pattaya, I'm sure you know, with unmatched precision and insight, exactly what you are talking about.

Thus the madness reveals itself. More than enough evidence why you, and others like you, are worth no more time than the time it takes to say that you are worth no more time.
