"I have come across many farangs though who complain that it is hard to get a visa for their girlfriend, then the info comes out they were ex bar girls, what do you expect I think to myself."  Where are the words "all Thai girls" in that sentence.  I am surprised how many native English speaking people as so poor with simple English comprehension.</description><pubDate>Thu, 21 May 2026 02:29:18 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Brit&#x2019;s Sex Toy Delays Bag on Thai Flight</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394995-brits-sex-toy-delays-bag-on-thai-flight/?do=findComment&comment=20516077]]></link><description>The girls got some big balls outing herself on YouTube!

It was obvious for me well before I came to stay here four years ago full time that we are just long term visitors on an annual basis re visa extension, we are always seen as a falang no matter which Western country we come from.  I made sure I have a property in England which I could go back to which is currently rented out.  I have made sure there are sufficient funds to get me back in any situation should things change here, the free NHS would be waiting for me if long term medical treatment was needed.  It is all so very simple.  I am not being negative about the country, it is great but I am in no illusion I am a visitor.  If anyone disagrees let me know if you have a Thai ID and a Thai passport and I will then agree.  One son who was born in the UK and grew up there and now living in NZ has both a Thai ID and Thai passport along with his British passport and so the house I live in is in his name, it was paid for out of his inheritance money anyway so no loss there.  Life here can be a 'dream' as long as there is a plan to back it up.</description><pubDate>Thu, 21 May 2026 02:23:11 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Republicans increasingly worried about Trump poll slump</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394903-republicans-increasingly-worried-about-trump-poll-slump/?do=findComment&comment=20516066]]></link><description>the question is "IF"  like to know how you will get rid of him ???  he will not go, he is a narcissist craves power !   he does not care about the constitution !</description><pubDate>Thu, 21 May 2026 02:22:48 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Austrian to be Deported For Drunken Behaviour in Phuket</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394991-austrian-to-be-deported-for-drunken-behaviour-in-phuket/?do=findComment&comment=20516065]]></link><description>the citizenship can be revoked</description><pubDate>Thu, 21 May 2026 02:21:51 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Is quality of life worse in developed countries than in SE Asia?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394977-is-quality-of-life-worse-in-developed-countries-than-in-se-asia/?do=findComment&comment=20516064]]></link><description>Even in Norway, people need to push, get up in the morning, study, work, and save money. That is universal, no matter where you come from.  And trust me, the distractions are universal too. It is easy to spot, even here, when retired or disabled expats come to Thailand believing it is the land of promise and endless fun.  Some continue to burn bridges instead of building something stable. They change country, but not habits. Then the same problems follow them, just in another culture.  And Thailand gives nothing back if you arrive with nothing to build on. It only takes, like every other place, if you have no plan, no safety net, and no discipline.</description><pubDate>Thu, 21 May 2026 02:21:39 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Ex-Cop Wins $835K After Jail Over Charlie Kirk Post</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394998-ex-cop-wins-835k-after-jail-over-charlie-kirk-post/?do=findComment&comment=20516063]]></link><description>So you think "People like Kirk" were stirring division?

Even if he had travel insurance I think the claim would be denied. Having insurance is one thing, but complying with the small print is another. The sooner travel insurance is mandated for the full duration of a travelers stay in Thailand the better. If it expires during the trip then the individual should be considered on overstay. Just my view. Anyway, hope he comes out of this ok health wise.</description><pubDate>Thu, 21 May 2026 02:20:29 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Swedish National Assaults Indian Man in Phuket, Surrenders</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394960-swedish-national-assaults-indian-man-in-phuket-surrenders/?do=findComment&comment=20516059]]></link><description>typical Swedish name</description><pubDate>Thu, 21 May 2026 02:19:29 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Brit&#x2019;s Sex Toy Delays Bag on Thai Flight</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394995-brits-sex-toy-delays-bag-on-thai-flight/?do=findComment&comment=20516058]]></link><description>presumably  her sex toy contained batteries.
