Popular Post GinBoy2 Posted March 6, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2018 I often muse why so many seem to have the need to troll anyone who may express any negative views about Thailand. It almost feels like the closet Gay who actually goes Gay bashing. In reality we all know that there are serious issues with Thailand, from driving, censorship, to just general craziness, but you live here, you accept them, but to deny them! Please get real We left a year ago, although back now for a few months vacation from the snow Don't hate the place, but the reality of the place does take its toll over a decade or so. I can deal with it for a few months of the year, roll my eyes at some of the more absurd aspects of the place, but crazy, bizarre it certainly is. I totally relate to the OP, since after the shine wears off you can go full circle and actually see the place for what it is. So closet Gays....keep denying lol 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perth is one of the most expensive places on the planet. I'm curious which bottle shop beer is cheeper than 7/11 beer here? $40 for 24 beers. Google it.

EVENKEEL Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 OK, I got to believe the Keith haters are the ones who have no where else to go and little money to do it with. Because, when you have money the world is yours. And if he does come back to good ole TL he change his TV account and start all over again. Good luck Keith. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are welcome to call it whatever you want, but unfortunately you would be wrong. The official name of the country is the United States of America. Although citizens of the USA call themselves Americans, they are referred to as "norteamericanos" or even Estadounidenses by the "Americans" who inhabit Latin America. Of course, the term of endearment, gringo, is often used as a substitute. You don't like wiki? No problem, let's visit one of the thousands of other sources, https://www.duolingo.com/comment/3530261/Americano-vs-norteamericano-vs-estadounidense. As for your Mexico example, all Mexican official documentation, including passports and government documents refers to the country as Estados Unidos Mexicanos. The citizens refer to themselves as Mexicanos. Teaching moment over. Edited March 6, 2018 by norrska 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did nearly all are $50-$60 dollars except for the very rare specials and keep in mind you have to buy bulk and need a car just to carry a carton unless your lucky enough to be on a $5 dollar bus route so you can add another 10 bucks to the price and the class act of carrying a carton on your shoulder , and OP said he doesn't want to sit at home like a hermit so that kills that argument of drinking alone and that hardly compensates for the $10 schooners in bars , heck i can play with a young honey for a $5 lady drink here. Good luck with playing with anything unless you spend $50 on drinks for some granny There is nothing good about it unless your libido is shot .

manchega Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 At 70 have you ever considered that social media has very little importance outside of business? maybe it is just for young people to call each other fat or ugly? it may be you have let social media influence your decision too much. try a detox first. go without electronics for a month and see if you change your mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if your such a fool to believe that Keithpa is my real name, your an even bigger mug. So, if you still believe Im who you say i am, come around and take a swing some time, and I dont mean with a golf club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
