  1. On balance it's better than the alternatives, for most of us anyway.
  2. By African standards not a bad place, a few decades since I've been but for Muslim place there were a few licensed premises, can't comment about the women as I was only there a few nights and wasn't aware of any.
  3. I was just going to say something similar, with a slight change as I would say that most African countries are not great at all.
  4. You would or you did do.? Sometimes a visa run meant you had to go and get a new visa which meant a few good nights in Vientiane.
  5. So you are saying that every bar is tacky and a front for prostitution. I hadn't noticed.
  6. With a savings/passbook account are you required to notify a change of address.?
  7. They used to be called village idiots, when did that change ?
  8. No that's definitely you, one of your other aliases is I believe G. O'bshyte.
  9. I thought the real Bob spent his afternoons drinking Thai whisky with his mates in his palatial home, before going out seriously on ye pysse at night. Anyway
  10. It stuck in my mind because it mentioned Iraelis, people who were very rarely if ever mentioned in the Thai media. Got that eh.? How you can read anything anti-Israeli or anti-Jewish into my post is puzzling and says more about yourself than me.
  11. Arf arf, Bozo Bob doesn’t get it.
  12. I did not identify them as anything, that is how they were described in some media items.
  13. The topic is actually about young Israelis behaving badly in Thailand. Around the millennium time young Israelis were making themselves unwelcome in the Khaosan Rd area for antisocial behaviour. This is the first problem I am aware of since then.
  14. No the pissartists and alcoholics will be home alone with their regular supply as they are most days. Why not close every business, why does the licensed trade alone have to suffer.
  15. Predictable meaningless comment about bar closures. Like me many people do not want to stock up and drink at home, they enjoy the pub or bar atmosphere. I have not kept a beer in the fridge for decades. Not a solitary drinker.
  16. Sheryl, how do you feel about the Thai (Dutch Mill,? not sure) High Protein 12gm yoghurt.
  17. There is no expectation for foreigners to understand "why", knowing "what" is enough. An analogy would be that it is often said the law is for the benefit of the legal profession, Thailand is for the benefit of the Thai people. At least the Thai establishment.
  18. How about dragon fruit.?
  19. Which people, the would of and should of brigade.?
  20. I eat healthier than most people I know but sometimes a bit of what you like is helpful. I broadly agree with your summary of 7eleven but they do stock some things that do not fit your description. They are aware of and are slowly catering to changing tastes.
  21. I am a pub/bar person. I don't like going to other people's homes and don't really want others in mine. The habit of a lifetime has been to meet my friends in the pub/whatever and go home when I feel ready. Not as often nowadays as previously, dry days not a problem now as due to health reasons I haven't had a drink for 8 months.
  22. The cupcakes are OK even if they have gone up to 12 baht (cheeky gits) the last time I got one. But it's 20 baht for a pack of 2.
