No cud just liked it. Do you say that someone who smokes cigs daily has cig use disorder. 

 

Quit for a number of reasons. Mostly personal which im not willing to share. One I will share is knowing it will limit me access to more women. I loved smoking weed. But I love pussy.

 

Also...it just wasn't doing anything for me anymore. Didn't feel any different after I smoked so I didnt see a point in going on with it. 

"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":

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.

I see this in the forums all the time .........

Posters looking down on guys living in Pattaya, elderly, guys living on a pension, living in a rented condo, supporting a woman and her family, men spending time in bars, or smoking weed/tobacco, etc.

 

Why not just enjoy your own life and stop looking for fault or judging other people?

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.

It seems, in Thailand........."That's what friends are for"

It's not the money.  It's the hassle of obtaining the documents. Then the sheer number of tourist who arrive who will be looking blankly at a Swampy IO and say, "I need what? I have credit cards, debit cards, no a don't have "cash", I come from a "cashless" country, and you want financial documents from my bank so that I can get in?"  Then let's not even imagine the massive wait in line to clear Immigration which is backed up with confused tourists.

So, Thailand will lose more tourists.

GOOD MORNING VIETNAM!!!

If you arrive at "Swampy" expecting to obtain a Tourist Visa you have made a big mistake.

Your post makes no sense given that one can only obtain a Tourist Visa in another country, before one enters Thailand.

Other individuals on this thread talking about obtaining an e-visa while inside Thailand or talking about VOA please take note.

There are a whole bunch of posts barking up the wrong tree.

The financial requirements for a Tourist Visa this year will be exactly the same as they were when I last got one in UK (Sept 2023) and Laos (Jan 2024).

It was the equivalent of 20,000 baht in the bank for 3 months then......it will be the same now.

Any tourist arriving is also required, according to the rules, to have the equivalent of 20k baht in cash on them.......that requirement never went away.

Oct '24 and Jan '25 were VEs for me and a bonus, but now it looks like it's back to business as usual.......well lah dee dah.

Well, the jet engine was actually invented and patented in England by Frank Whittle in 1930. The Germans later came up with the same idea in the mid 1930s and developed it rapidly  going into WW2. 

Frank Whittle and Fritz von Ohain.......progenitors of the turbojet:

"At first upset because he believed von Ohain had only developed his engine after seeing Whittle's patent, he eventually became convinced that von Ohain's development really was his own. The two became good friends, and often toured the US giving talks together. In 1991 von Ohain and Whittle were awarded the Charles Stark Draper Prize for their work on turbojet engines."

Ordered a set of men's shorts from them.

Ordered size XL which is advertised as 31-33 inch.

 

 

Items arrived and it is size 26 so not just a small scam (pun intended)

 

 

 

Since I'm travelling overseas tomorrow, I quickly opened the return request.

Great was my surprise that after you have filed the return request, the seller get FOUR days to decide if he will accept the items, which are clearly not as described.

 

Contacted Lazada and explained my situation, but it is as if you are talking to a wall, because they just tell you to wait 4 days, and if seller doesn't respond, we will approve the return.

Yeah right, I will ask the flight to wait for me 4 days. Never seen a platform where the scammer get  days to decide if you are allowed to send back the items with which he scammed a customer.

To put salt in the wound, Lazada just emailed me that they have added tracking to the return request, so I know when the 4 days have passed and I can then proceed to ship the items back.

 

Are they plain stupid or just a professional scam organisation?

They are not "Size 26",  they are XL.

It doesn't say that they are 31-33ins in circumference.

It says that they will fit a waist that is 31-33ins.......obviously because they stretch to accomodate that range.

They are elasticated......they stretch.

They stretch and grip.

They would have to be less than 31ins in order to do an efficient job of gripping on a 31inch waist.

How much less than 31ins do you think they should be in order to grip effectively on a 31inch waist?

Are we there yet?

So Anastasia took over the rent from a Russian, most probably without a new contract. Then asks for the deposit (witch the Russian paid) back. Somehow I would be very reluctant to pay her a deposit back that she paid (or not) to somebody else. Than gets temper tantrum, like a good Gen Z Girl, probably combined with PMS. Now she has time to cool down and learn a valuable lesson. 

Do you suppose the Russian cleared off without getting their 32,000 back from somebody?

If the Thai owner was not still holding 32,000 why would she be going through the motions of processing its return.....as she stated she was:

"The property owner emphasised that she had been following proper procedures, as stipulated in the lease agreement. These included a 14-day window to process the deposit return, deductions for unpaid utility bills..........",

It sounds like Miss Anastasia might well have paid 32,000 to the Russian on the Russians assurance that she would get it back from the Thai owner.

Far be it from me to suggest that the Thai owner may have been using this technicality: "the requirement that refunds be made only to the person listed on the contract." not to pay the out of pocket Miss Anastasia.

Protest against Zionism is like Jewish jokes.....only Jews can get way with protesing against it and telling the jokes.

Anyone else gets labelled Antisemitic.

What cars does Thailand export to the US ?

I found out the answer to that question by copying/pasting it into "Google".

Maybe your "carer" could help you to do the same?

And that's on the people who hire them... So, take a good look in the mirror, Thailand. It's not a VER problem, it's a Thai employer problem.

Employers plus government agencies/agents  that look the other way......for MONEY.

It's the usual problem......root and branch corruption in the Thai social order.

Thailand is a great place to do illegal business.

Dear Folks,

 

Having just watched someone put up a new roof, somewhere in Thailand:

 

a. The homeowner chose BLACK…JET BLACK for the exterior covering of a corrugated roof for a very large sun awning.  I mean…a HUGE awning connected to his house.

b. Why choose BLACK, JET BLACK?

c. Does he think this color might be “COOL”?

d. I do agree that the STONES are COOL, and the Tune is VERY COOL.

e. But, to paint a roof black in Thailand…Is this cool? Or, is this idiocy?

 

What are the construction workers thinking, too?

Are they not aware of the radiation absorption PROPERTIES of a…

 

BLACK BODY IN SPACE, for example?

 

When we talk about BLACK BODIES, and BLACK BODY RADIATION, I guess you all know what I am talking about.  But, do the workers here, who are working on this big project, understand?  Have they not even studied Year One Astronomy at MIT, for example?

 

All MIT courses are available on the net, and for free.

Any excuses for not having watched the Physics courses on MIT's great website, before putting up a black roof?

 

This just boggles my mind.

 

 

 

AND...What about the HEAT-ISLAND Effect, around the black roof?

What about THAT????

 

Ignorance is Bliss, as they say…until..it becomes the ….

 

HOT SEASON, in Thailand.

 

Best regards,

Gamma

"Have they not even studied Year One Astronomy at MIT, for example?"

Of course they haven't you ridiculous prig.

Neither have you.

Trump can **** off.

The 49.8% that voted for him can also **** off.

I have no problem with the 48.3% that voted against him.

"America" is very far from being entirely made up of spiteful, bitter, avaricious, megalomniac narcissists and people who see in them a pleasing and comforting reflection of themselves.
