You can blame the vloggers, people like Dan about Thailand.  These vloggers are always promoting Thailand as cheap, inexpensive etc, this encourages all the cheap Charlie's to relocate to Thailand. Then once these guys settle, they find their pennies aren't going asy far as the vloggers tell them, now they haven't got the funds to live a happy life. They come out here on their aged pension, buy themselves a disability scooter, ride up and down the local soi's, here in Pattaya it's soi Buakhou, racing into the 7-Eleven, buying their Chang beers and LM's, then they're off at speed on the roads annoying other road users.  These people live in a little 30m&#xB2; room, living a miserable life.  If you get a chance, have a meal in one of the Cheap Charlie restaurants, the joint is wall to wall miserable expats. The poor waitresses, getting abused daily &#x1F641;</description><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2026 19:36:48 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>UN Report Accuses Israel of Genocide Against Children</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397359-un-report-accuses-israel-of-genocide-against-children/?do=findComment&comment=20583495]]></link><description/><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2026 19:32:09 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>VPNs not working in thailand last 9 days  ????</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396146-vpns-not-working-in-thailand-last-9-days/?do=findComment&comment=20583494]]></link><description>lots of people do so they dont have to pay the  &#xA3;185  BBC license fee  even if you dont watch any BBC TV</description><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2026 19:27:50 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>What will the world be like in 50 years</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1398049-what-will-the-world-be-like-in-50-years/?do=findComment&comment=20583493]]></link><description>So....

Those crazy rates were due to the Asian Economic Crisis. Prior to then, the Thai baht had been pegged at 25 to the dollar for many years. The baht hit 55 or 56 to the dollar but that didn't last long and it settled in the high 30s / low 40s for a few years.</description><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2026 19:12:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>What will the world be like in 50 years</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1398049-what-will-the-world-be-like-in-50-years/?do=findComment&comment=20583491]]></link><description>Pure maniacal insanity of a narcissistic megalomaniac.</description><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2026 19:08:15 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Word Association - 2026</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1383425-word-association-2026/?do=findComment&comment=20583490]]></link><description>French</description><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2026 19:05:24 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>The Reality of the Trump Campaign&#x2019;s Cooperation with Russia, 2016</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1398016-the-reality-of-the-trump-campaigns-cooperation-with-russia-2016/?do=findComment&comment=20583489]]></link><description>That's true.

Only the tourists do not know.  This is the same for rickshaws in HongKong, by the way. Some tourists think that one can actually ask some old guy to pull them in a rickshaw....but....  Actually, of course, the rickshaws that you might have seen, but probably not now, in HK and Macao were for photo-ops only, at a price.  The old guys with rickshaws probably could not even move them an inch, if they tried. Most of the old guys look like they might need to be pushed in wheelchairs, themselves.    These days are GONE.....</description><enclosure url="https://assets.aseannow.com/forum/uploads/monthly_2026_07/image.png.aae8a71898e2e9f310ff06e7c854d59d.png" length="325152" type="image/png"/><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2026 18:22:31 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Brit Loses Visa After Phuket Tuk Tuk Assault</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1398012-brit-loses-visa-after-phuket-tuk-tuk-assault/?do=findComment&comment=20583480]]></link><description>They're more a novelty thing, for tourism really.

Anyway see the case of Danny Masterson here in the U.S. There are consequences. For drugging and raping two women he's in prison 30 years to life.  As far as AdolfZ's post, many of the "vulnerable hookers" are poor uneducated Isaan girls looking to better their lives, and as an avenue to that, that's all they've got. Old white men hiring them for sex is not abuse, it's called prostitution, it's a transaction and certainly is different than drugging and raping women.</description><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2026 18:13:38 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Brit Loses Visa After Phuket Tuk Tuk Assault</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1398012-brit-loses-visa-after-phuket-tuk-tuk-assault/?do=findComment&comment=20583477]]></link><description>Yes. I once had a rather world famous Linguistics professor who helped me to understand the great importance of showing respect to others.  His gift to me was to teach me by example the meaning of respect for others, in almost every situation.  When one respects others, then one reaps respect in return.  I do not know why mikik issued me a Question-Mark Emoji, but....still.... I respect his freedom to do so.  We are far happier individuals when we show and express respect for others, almost unconditionally.  (I am not talking about turning the other cheek, by the way. I never show my rear-end to anyone but my GF.)</description><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2026 18:13:23 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Miserable expats</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1398039-miserable-expats/?do=findComment&comment=20583476]]></link><description>Even an idiot could foresee the ending.

I agree with your post GG, being polite makes the world spin smoother. Getting belligerent and aggressive with tuk-tuk drivers is a good way to receive a massive beating, and it will be more than one beating you up.</description><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2026 18:01:16 +0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
