That's just over 500k USD at this weekend's gold prices.

You made it homophobic. I wouldn't enjoy gay boys blowing kisses at me, but have nothing against gay people. I don't even enjoy attention from bar girls.

I gave you my assessment based on knowing the full story. That will do - good night!

Good question! I know the full story because my gf works for the company which built the complex. She does the inspections for these units and arranges the title transfers. She went in this morning and took photos of the burnt out unit and the one above which was damaged.

No one was injured. The occupants panicked and ran out, when it would have been easy to put the fire out. They were so panicked that they didn't retrieve any personal belongings. The unit above was damaged and was in the process of being transferred to a new owner, only 77% complete. All 135 units in building B have been evacuated until further notice.

It wouldn't have mattered in this case as the breaker did trip, but not before a spark started the fire.

I've never had my pocked picked in my life, including for 20 years in Pattaya, but the Philippines would be one of the worst, and for sure would be way ahead of Bangkok. I'm calling total bs on this resport.

For 20 years, in Pattaya, I leave my shopping on my motorbike while i go into other shops, sometimes for long periods. I have never had anything stolen. I've never lived anywhere that is safer. In Australia, if it isn't bolted down, kiss it goodbye. Pickpockets? The whole survey is 100% bs.

You didn't learn much from all those girls then. My girl is 32 years my junior, and it has nothing to do with money. My wife of 20 years was 29 years my junior. I've never had a relationship with a female in her 40s so I don't know what it's like. If you don't believe something is possible, it can't happen.

None of the above. Dating apps are where you find them.

My friend tried that after spending 2 weeks in Bangkok Hospital to fight a serious bacterial infection by a highly resistant bacterium. He was on 10,000 baht plus per day IV antibiotics for 2 weeks and needed to continue with orals after discharge. Upon his discharge from the hospital he refused the antibiotics they were going to sell him, thinking he could (I could) pick them up cheap at Fascino. I had to do the runaround, trying to source them. It turns out the antibiotics were new generation and only available at the hospital. I had to go back to the hospital to buy them, which was not easy after he was discharged. The takeaway from this is that the hospital has medicine not available outside. Check first.

if you have a problem with my posts, just contact a moderator. There's no need to whine about it.

Well done on that detective work. I'm not the first person to change names due to email problems. Why would I be afraid to post anything.... we're all anonymous, you included.

I don't start threads. Seriously, you joined up recently, and now you've taken on the role of moderator, deciding what can and cannot be said in a political thread. Good luck with that. Now you're complaining about a personal post, by making it personal yourself. You can't see the irony of a thread full of members, from the US, complaining about their own country taking on an authoritarian flavour, yet choosing to live in an extremely authoritarian state.

You'd be surprised how much I know about JT. I've joined up just before him in 2006, and am well aware of his sentiments with everything Trump. What do you think you know, now that you feel the need to make it personal?
