Cute! Go to rabbi and ask him straight away: Do you consider you and your relatives and friends some sort of uber-mensch? a.k.a. "the chosen ones"? "superior human beings"? I got to see it ))))

Everything has its own benefits and downsides. 2 storey house is superb, but rains and floods can be annoying. Room with a view is nice, but sudden neighbors ... I'd rather stay in condo, sometimes it feels very lonely in big house

Korean tour guides in Bangkok are filthy rich, I've seen packs of 1000 baht banknotes. Chinese too. But no, lets arrest silly Russian kid who tries to make living by showing Wat Chalong to a bunch of tourists. Why so?

They tried and we know what happened next, right?

Why so much fuzz about this? There must be a reason which we don't know - so good for them and good for Thai hospitality. Every time when things get tough people tend to run. There's condo at Pinklao - somehow suddenly full of young Israelies within last week. There are Russians who can afford to relocate away - good for them, but seriously - don't care.

social media research done easy, chamai?

who doesn't like cats? cats are cute.

from cell-phones to silverware and gold chains. some shops can take TV but really cheap. Once I bought Au-Pt small ring with little diamonds. Turns up Cartier. But they didn't value that - only weight, so I got it for 2500 only. Shop is near Railway station, BKK Yes, you can pawn many things, but generally they prefer gold - depends on the shop. obviously )

Classic-shmassic! When I heard them at discos I was pretty sure they were some sort of freaky women screaming. And the LP I saw at friend's home was a shock: are bearded men able to sing like this? Sure they are geniuses, the whole disco era would be less vivid w/o Bee Gees, ABBA and few others. And their style and everything is flawless. No doubt. But seriously, four (or five?) brothers could pitch that high w/o snip-snip? [bad humor]

I have no idea why our neighbor cut whiskies of my cat. Completely innocent and harmless, easy to play and never scratch anyone. Its very brutal thing to do.

Yes, that makes perfect sense, but in theory only. [IMHO] Interestingly it is correct [almost] either way as well: Some Mr.Nice Guy might be very average performer but his personality is just outshines it. Ted Nugent is the perfect example of great guitarist yet as the person is an a**hole. Paul McCartney is not the best musician, but he's such an entertainer! And some exeptions: Amy Winehouse, Madonna, Nick Cave, Ian Anderson (JT) Maybe something IS wrong with Collins?

some 10+ years ago. Bangkok, Silom, Bangkok Bank. That old huge one. they played cover from "The Fiddler on the Roof" - "Sunrises, Sunsets" I never felt so awkward ) Love the movie, but the situation was like "Shut the f^%$ it off!"

Ultra-Sound Whistle wiTH MotiON SeSNer. Solar panel powered. WorkED miRACles at our Kinder Garten with CATs iSSues and later with DOgs next dOOr.

Ted Nugent - great musician but real a**hole in person Beatles - overrated girls band Scorpions - Twisted Sisters from Octoberfest Bee Gees - man can't sing like that unless his cohones are missing (not true, just really freaky) Mahavishnu Band - too wierd to listen Van Der Graff Generator - pretended to love them because everybody around were crazy about this band %rap% - too angry, pitbull/AST kind anger

Yes it is 500thb per head, not 1000. and it is not a "fine" rather "sorry officer for bothering you from whatever you've been busy with".

"a ring spanning the length of Thailand" OK. cool. there're whole villages operating trafficking. they said it helps kids to go through schools and colleges, pay bills and support their elders. no, they don't use it. only passing it from border to central provinces. just 1kg, not a biggie. right?

Surprisingly not in LOS. Besides, Thai-Elite is the membership to premium VIP services not a "5 y.o. visa". But now it goes exactly that way.

Elites? please, must be a bad joke. somebody stuck into late 90s.: russian mafia, russian corrupt gov. officials, oligarchs, Putin's cronies and other characters from B-rated movies. stereotyping and dehumanizing. back to the cold war.

years ago train from Hat Yai went off rails after collision with truck. no compensations were paid. would they be able to reattach them?

Nothing. I love it. just please ... floods - they annoys me so much!

Back in 90-s. Khaosarn Rd. Bangkok. Weird looking farang was offering half-opened shampoo, wipes, chewing gum (whatever he found there) for pocket change. Dressed like a village idiot, barely talking. Painted face. Absolutely harmless beggar. 30-60 y.o. Could not figure it out. Turned out he was a German businessman who was beaten by police and thrown to klong, but survived. Unfortunately his mind didn't recover and he became a Khaosarn's freak. There are many stories about police brutality in LOS, even now 2023: 10 against 1. Don't care victim's ethnicity: russian, proud european of another indian apache.

In our moo-ban (Bangkok) there's a family of retired thai gov. officer: house wife and single daughter married to farang. Quite young couple - I guess earlier 30s. Living with her parents - big house, why not? Every time I meet the old man (or his wife) I almost feel the pain [and shame] that their well-educated daughter being boinked 'n'shmoinked every night next room in their own home sweet home. PS: Yes, the clever chap is a teacher, who else? However parents are trying to safe face and act decently. Probably somewhere in the jungles and rice farms parents are less "sophisticated" and more straightforward.

for some [unknown] reason there are "concerned foreigners" who post and snitch to police. Why do they do it? I'd heard stories about such <deleted> since last century: german guy deported for installing Windows 95 dutchman painted fence polish helped to test motherboards and memory planks russian went to IDC for helping owner of the bar to set the playlist of youtube videos french spent a week in jail for participating in EvilAngel production in Pattaya What a threat to Thai Economy!

Well, it is very obvious: you use her and her relatives expect her to use you. oh maybe there's love? that unconditional one? ROFL

Before you slide into the scanner you need a chap who could read pictures. I had a friend who did a brain scan at Bangkok Hospital (yes, MRI), paid about 23K (back in 2017). Money wasted. Went to Bumrungrad. Yeah, fancy-shmensie lounge to Middle-Easterners. Doc could even recognize areas of the brain on the pictures. Surely got his "diploma" either in Aussie land or in Eang-landg. Wiki-gurus. Get the doctor first, and not from fancy lounge. Chula, Siriraj - like.
