But I dont know why BP covers negative news more. They never mentioned that almost every week a destination wedding is being held in Phuket and Samui by indians... coming on charted flights. All high end pubs in Pattaya are full of upscale Indians with swarm of women in these clubs. All chilling out... may be old bobs are feeling bad as not so good women are left for them in low scale pubs in Pattaya</description><pubDate>Mon, 15 Jun 2026 01:50:30 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Single retired men</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396192-single-retired-men/?do=findComment&comment=20553454]]></link><description>I don't believe a word you say, as you have no evidence. i asked you questions, you don't answer, showing you have the truth hidden. I trained with people of many nationalities, including Asians. My two teachers went by Muay Thai fighting instead of traditional Taekwondo, incorporating that along with Karate, boxing and other martial arts. Try not to assume, even though it's most of your replies,as again, you haven't a clue to how or what anyone here knows or does.</description><pubDate>Mon, 15 Jun 2026 01:50:13 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Why no British or Irish pubs outside of Sukhumvit?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396597-why-no-british-or-irish-pubs-outside-of-sukhumvit/?do=findComment&comment=20553453]]></link><description>I do not see much of that at the Irish bars I frequently visit.

However, depending on qualifications, company benefits, and the specific field, total annual earnings in and around the Croydon area typically span a broader range from &#xA3;37,000 to over &#xA3;55,000."  Based on the above, this  does not match a 27 year-old  saving for a  holiday of a lifetime and getting himself into all kinds of immigration problems. After all his horrendous claims of mistreatment by corrupt officials, etc, he then travels to Vietnam and Brazil where potential for immigration problems are just as bad. I think one you should take whatever comes out of his mouth with a pinch of salt.</description><pubDate>Mon, 15 Jun 2026 01:49:16 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Single retired men</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396192-single-retired-men/?do=findComment&comment=20553451]]></link><description>That's sounds like someone you would read.</description><pubDate>Mon, 15 Jun 2026 01:48:54 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Pattaya Taxi Rider Assaulted by Foreign Men</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396731-pattaya-taxi-rider-assaulted-by-foreign-men/?do=findComment&comment=20553450]]></link><description>They're Arabs.

Being present does not mean ignoring the past or the future. It means choosing what should occupy your energy today, and still being present with the ones around you.

But under Thai law as I found, tattooing is also a restricted occupation reserved exclusively for Thai nationals. Foreigners cannot legally be employed as tattoo artists without strict exemption, ie., as a foreign guest artist to work for a Thai licensed local studio with the appropriate visa and work permit.</description><pubDate>Mon, 15 Jun 2026 01:45:35 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Indian Tourists Unlikely to Be Deterred by Thailand Visa Shift</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396668-indian-tourists-unlikely-to-be-deterred-by-thailand-visa-shift/?do=findComment&comment=20553442]]></link><description>Majority of indians come on 5 to 9 days tour packages to see thailand... so it wont effect much whether its VOA or Visa free.

Listening to your hero doesn't compare. How thick can you be not understanding this concept?   Going to stadiums doesn't teach you the language any better than actually integrating with family and friends here who are Thais. Can you not understand that also?   The way you act here alone has you as a strange person. That you can't understand a lot what others say should have you learning more restraint.</description><pubDate>Mon, 15 Jun 2026 01:45:07 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>What is your Asean-Now Persona, according to Gemini?

For example, I did NOT use any AI app. No.  I just did a Google Search, in the traditional way, as one does.  Please feel free to do the same.  Just type into Google Search:  "Your Profile Name" and "ASEANNOW Forum", and then press ENTER....  See what comes up. And then post it here, please.  Thank you.  NOTE:  I REPEAT....I used NO PROMPTS. I used Google Search, ONLY, and I did not use any AI app.  Try it. You'll like it. Then, post it here.  If you get Nada...then maybe Google does not know who you are.</description><pubDate>Mon, 15 Jun 2026 01:45:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Word Association - 2026</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1383425-word-association-2026/?do=findComment&comment=20553435]]></link><description>Blueprints</description><pubDate>Mon, 15 Jun 2026 01:44:42 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Why no British or Irish pubs outside of Sukhumvit?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396597-why-no-british-or-irish-pubs-outside-of-sukhumvit/?do=findComment&comment=20553434]]></link><description>Going back to the original topic.  I like pubs and pub grub, but I suppose there's no good reason why an establishment serving beer and food has to be British or Irish.
