Yes thanks. It's a subject that's gone dead in recent years and I was just wondering if anyone had any first hand experience from traveling.

I wish. But plenty on these forums seem to crave his lies and stupidity.

Does anyone know? Have they finally cleared Cambodia of land mines? It used to be a huge issue with whole tracts of the country cordoned off, warning UXO signs everywhere, and kids constantly being mutilated while out playing. We used to step in dog poo, poor Cambodian kids got their feet ripped off. I seem to recall artificial limbs were a major industry 20 years ago. I got evacuated once in Germany as well. Police wouldn't let me enter the potential blast zone when I got back from work at 1 in the morning. They put us up in a local school just outside the zone and gave us goulash with spuds. Yummy. All pretty well organized and even got a camp bed to kip down on. They'd defused it by 8. The past does indeed cast a long shadow. And people and countries that should know better continue to cast their murderous pitch black palls across the world. And seriously believe they're the good guys.

It's called the survival game. She's being open and honest with you. Outside tough as nails. Inside soft as sherry trifle. Needs someone she can love and trust that she can actually rely on to stand by her in thick and thin. Looks like she'll have to keep looking 'cos she ain't found him yet.

She does. And it's a perfectly decent and above board and frequently very hard one. She provides sexual services for money. You may not like that but that's your problem. Did you even ask her what she does? If she lied about that then that is of course different. She probably got taken out of school aged 12 to earn money, has a kid and maybe a whole family back in Brobat Thani to feed. She spends her spare time dating you. You should be happy. Enjoy her. You're getting the real deal. You should be supportive not playing the moral saint and making her life even harder by harassing her at work. She has needs like any other. Doesn't sound like you're up to providing them. In my somewhat colorful past I have also knowingly dated two sex workers over the longer term. Lovely they were. One in Pattaya and one back home. It's just a job. Some can do it, others can't. Oh, and by the way, you're in Pattaya. Yuh know?

Whilst they don't actually need to, some do have a need to, which is a different kind of fish 😉

18th century? It's what the US and UK did in 1953, destroying a democratically elected very popular government to install the murderous torturer Shah Rheza Pahlevi, in order to continue stealing Iran's oil for BP. That is why we got the Ayatollah Khomeini and why Iran is the way it is today. It is all 100% US and UK fault and responsibility. And both countries are in 100% denial of that. And killing hundreds and destroying the entire country in order to keep the cover up going. Learning nothing, absolutely nothing, along the way.

Looking for an early breakfast ...

555 I can remember the first snowbird trip I did over 20 years ago. I had a clear itinerary packed with the loadsa things I wanted to do and see across 3 countries. 6 weeks in my plans were forgotten and I was living in a different world, free as a bird, my entire outlook on life changed forever. Never made one since.

Magic? I think she's a repulsive edition of a repulsive type with nothing natural left about them apart from their hatred and cruelty.

These right wing bigots live in a permanent state of neurotic terror don't they?

The place is a real madhouse. But that's why we go there isn't it?

Another talent the proven coward has is wasting an incredible number of people's time.

Like I've always said, one of the worst things on the planet is a prole with money.

I doubt it's (all at least) about money with her. She seems to have a few principles that she sticks to. That is admirable. Sadly the rest of what she still stands for is anything but.

It was Netanyahu he crumbled to this time. TACO it is.

AIr Astaną starts at 07.17 though the rest of the video is fun too ...

The 'great' is a geographical reference. Nothing to do with power. I'll refrain from any further comment against such an easy target.

We all know how ignorant and uneducated Trump is, but in this connection it's worth pointing out that the UK's GOAT himself preferred ''jaw-jaw to war-war.''

How sad.

They may well find the whole procedure acutely embarrassing themselves ...

Looks great! Is that gaeng khiao wan? Yummy! ...

Never put lithium etc batteries in the hold. Read the 'Dangerous Goods' warnings when you buy the ticket. They can and do burst into flames suddenly and must be in hand baggage so the fire can be tackled. A fire like that in the hold will probably lead to the loss of the aircraft.

And if your ballot sheet is full of bozos, then at least go out and write ''None of the above'' on it. Show you count and aren't happy and aren't complacent either. Just imagine if ''None of the above'' got the most votes ....

Not only that but now at 70 any sudden twists and turns as I try to dodge are liable to put my back out and leave me paralyzed and defenseless. My reactions are slightly slower now as well. A well landed blow'll leave me like that poor character in Phuket. I slipped up on ice in Germany recently and it took two able bodied people to pick me back up. That feels bloody humiliating and depressing all at once 555. Same recently when I tripped over an uneven paving stone and was initially unable to move. Absolutely helpless if were to be knocked over or slip in a fight. My mind tells me I am still somewhere between 20 and 55. My body is 70 and I constantly have to be aware of that. I'm still quite fit and very healthy though and my legs can still move fast thank god.
