blazes

Why? You looking for some frilly frock action, blazes? ???? Which night (or even day) is good for you?

Is it possible that some of the guys in this forum wear frilly frocks....

Kind of depends WHERE you live in a particular country. In Thailand: Chiang Mai: 4 months of cancerous smog. Bangkok: immobile traffic. Phuket: ruinous prices for everything that a falang needs or wants. Hua Hin: Crossing the road is bad for your health. Pattaya: Lo-so. Find a nice quiet village in Issan....but then you are bored pretty well to death in less than a week. So, maybe not retire, but just visit for six months or so of every year...

Maybe switch to a Mac?

In Ukraine, an outsider force is attempting to subjugate the country. In Thailand an insider force, representing a minuscule part of the population, is attempting to subjugate its own citizens. Does anyone in the outside world care about this silent coup?

In 2008, the Yellow Shirts showed how to close the country down. Just turn up at Suavarnaphumi and (in effect) close it down. Looking back at history, I see patterns similar to the Russian situation in 1917, when the minority party (the Menshevicks) ruled from February to November, at which time Lenin and the Bolsheviks took over in a bloodless coup. Thailand stands out in Asia as one of the few places where revolution has not yet occurred. Perhaps that time has come....

Ditto Vancouver.

Equally obviously, you seem to lack entirely a sense of humour!

Erm, that is precisely why I suggested that, as good Muslims, they may feel free, albeit a bit guilty, about imbibing a glass or two of alcohol while here.... Sorry if it's confusing.

The Malaysians are probably coming for guilt-free boozing.

I love the Thai word "poompui" (pwm-poo-ee). It so perfectly imitates (almost like onomatopoeia) what we call "fat" in English. Too bad the word has been forbidden by the Woke, since we are no longer supposed to remark upon people's obesity (or fat-shaming, as it is now called). Strange that the word "fat" does not, in its brevity, in any way imply the excess weight borne by the word.

You mean "effects" ...but I'm glad to see you have an affection for Vitamin D.

Followed by American "football"...a game that nominally lasts for 60 minutes but tends to go on for 4 hours or so, even on viciously cold days.

does it work for you then?

What would you call "high in THC"? 10mg? or higher?

A much better solution is to abandon all thoughts of joining Netflix, unless you really want to be presented (as seems now to be the case) with utter garbage movies: teenage horror, idiot apocalypses, mindless Tom Cruise garbage, boring sci-fi, endless examples of 20-something hottiies overcoming endless obstacles as they knock on glass ceilings, soppy romantic twaddle involving single moms always winning through etc etc etc. I cut off my sub to Netflix last year, having finally been unable to take any more the garbage hinted at in the rant above. Gone are the days of brilliant series like Breaking Bad or Ozark or Better Call Saul..... Save your money and read a book.

It usually is, you mean!!

3 masked; 3 not. 3 cheers for consistency.

Ireland? If so, Happy Bloomsday....

If the Prayut lot attempt to block the electoral will of the people, the resulting demonstrations will certainly persuade some tourists to give Thailand a miss this winter.....

One of the great pornstars of my generation.... His only mistake was buying AC Milan (and, lately, Monza FC).

For "odious" searchers in this thread, I would suggest that a person who cannot define what a woman is is indeed odious, especially if one considers the considerable threat to women prisoners through Sturgeon's lunatic attempt to let men "declare" themselves "women" and then allows male rapists to be parked in women's prisons just because Mr Rapist has declared himself a "woman". Luckily for the Scottish people, Sturgeon did a U-turn on this irrational policy.

She no know.....Nicola Sturgeon needs more urging.

erm....."Bloody hell"? "Buxxer me"? "Boeing again"?

I wonder how the inmates of Scottish women's prisons are reacting to this news....
