No reason to fight over that. There are a few million of those out there who are willing and able.

What's the worst book about Thailand that you ever read? The mind-virus strikes again. Sad.

Just put a mask on. The "experts" say that masking up will cure Earthquake Drunk Syndrome (EDS) 99% of the time, and as a side benefit, you won't get Covid - well, unless you do. Then blame it on the earthquake.

Or aftershocks.

Like lightning, earthquakes like this 7.7 are not going to strike again anytime soon. It's rather sad to watch the ants scatter fearfully when the best time to come and never experience an earthquake - is right after the earthquake and the aftershocks have settled. Like right now. Oh the Thai government will spend a ton of money in retrospect. And by the way, building here should be earthquake proof. Well, if this leads to regular inspections, I guess that will be cool, but realistically, after about 5 years or so, the inspections will fall by the wayside as the next "big one" won't be in my lifetime.

So, if Charlie packed Som Tum for Thai monks to eat after alms-rounds, would there be outrage? You do know that elites like the Mountbatten-Windsor do this stuff just to yank the chains of the peasant-classes. Mission accomplished.

Helen Mirren who?

Well, I'm married, have a family, have a good life here, and have been here almost 2 decades. Miss "I'm Going To Live In Thai Paradise Forever." Hard to believe. It takes relationships to anchor someone here. A single farang gal with a typical farang single gal attitude sans a relationships that can anchor her to this country? I don't see it happening. Gals age sorta like ripe bananas: looks great at first and then shrivels, turns ugly colors, and turns to mush. A lot of these gals are the "I'm A Strong Woman Who Doesn't Need A Man" types. Sounds lonely. Then suddenly you're a farang female well past her prime, and honestly, not even desperate Thai guys would want her. Actually to hook up with a Thai guy - doubt it. Thai gals still outnumber Thai guys and there is always available Thai hotties. Whose going to want a sun-wrinkled, aging, farang gal? The shine is going to rub off her love for Thailand fairly soon I imagine. I imagine she'll eventually put herself in a compromising situation within the Thai culture that she'll not be able to handle with her "Strong Woman" routine and the aftermath with be the death-knell of her stay. But then again - if she marries a Thai guy. Those gals tend to do well. And why not - it's a ticket to citizenship.

Nice set of chompers. "Ahhhh, what's up Doc?" I bet she's a vegan who loves carrots.

Do you think Ex Director James Comey will be indicted ? Nope. All these deep-state critters are made out of Teflon. Bondi and Patel aren't going to rock the boat.

True that. I've no doubt she has no interest in old farang guys living in Thailand. However, I've no interest is any farang women regardless of age living in Thailand. Especially the skinny variety with smaller knockers that my Thai wife. Farang women are just a notch below Thai Ladyboys in my personal preference of "female" company. <laughs>

No problem. I do understand that the average expat has the attention span of a gnat and reads at the sixth grade level. I know, it was a challenging read and it got the best of you. Sorry about the Mrs shaking you. Have her get you another beer. You'll calm right down.

I wonder when she'll find out that if she marries a Thai guy, she can get citizenship in 3 years and stay the rest of her life unencumbered by visas. Then she can tell all her female followers, "Come to Thailand, marry a Thai guy, and stay forever!" Maybe I've found my own digital nomad niche: hooking up Brit gals looking for the good life on an island in paradise who want to marry a Thai guy in order to "Stay In Paradise Forever!

Still in the Honeymoon Stage.

April's Fools!
