They are even too stupid to read a coupon, gave 2 coupons at BK (2 meals) and one burger didn't have the bacon i paid for...

 

For you that's all normal of course with your girly bicycle...

You should catch the next plane out. Enforcing Visa rules is one thing, stealing a mans bacon is another. Some burger boy is behind the dumpster right now with strips of farang paid for bacon hanging out of his slobbering gob while hes laying the pipe to the cute fry girl you worked on so hard to get her Line. 

 

Id be in VN right now, a mans bacon is sacrosanct.

Oxymoron?

I fully agree with Spidey. My wife takes care of all money in Thailand, and, she takes good care of me.

Makes life so much easier, my wife knows the financial position at any time, probably better than me, she is well capable of planning and spending accordingly. Always pays for everything.

On the topic of appearing 'helpless'

I remember one day I had time on my hands and ironed a few of my shirts, I was observed by a couple of passing villagers, initially my wife informed me she was to iron my shirts as 'did not look good', but I persevered as my wife has enough ironing already, and doing my little bit lightened the load.

Now my 12 year old son is trained by my wife to iron his own school uniform. A small step forward, and a sign that my wife has come round to thinking it is not a bad thing men can look after themselves a little ????

I wipe my own butt. That should be enough. I am ready to take the plunge!

 

I envision myself with a Moses like beard, belly sticking out from a Toga, on a greek style platform with peristyles and curliques declaiming in an Eisensteinian way (like the speeches in Alexander Nevskii):

 

Wife! Where are you? Show yourself, in this country that believes unless ye do EVERYTHING for this useless Man ye shall be shunned! Here is my ATM card! My SinSot is ready, the laundry basket filled! I hunger for your food! I shall teach ye to make Sausage Rolls, Pasta di Vongole and burgers! I am weary, Makro is your battlefield! Kill ye the snake, the centipede, the dust bunny! I am ready to receive your attention! Hurry, now, O woman, ManU and Liverpool play tomorrow! Bring ye your younger sister while youre at it baby!

I have honed my bumbling idiot act (Im really not as stupid as I act or look) to perfection.

 

It works with sex as well ????

 

"Oh my, I've never done this before, I think I'm too shy, can you show me etc etc.

One day you might wake up and realise that being referred to as 'it' is derogatory!

They deal with what they have, if their man has the mentality of a little boy who wants to have his fruit peeled by his 'mother', then they will do that, however if they are faced with a man who has the mentality of a grownup then they will respect that and treat them as a grown up, its up to you who you want to be and you will be viewed appropriately.

Not IME. I came to Thailand with the best of intentions of sharing the cooking, cleaning, gardening etc. just as I had done with my wife in the UK for the previous 30 years. It's just not that easy. It's a Thai woman's role in life to "take care of her man", I haven't cut my own nails for several years although I'd never had anyone give me a manicure in the previous 50 years. She get's very upset if I try to do anything for myself, her job, not mine. I came here as a "new man" and am now a lazy useless Thai man, not my fault, it's just the only way if you want a quiet life.

 

The biggest downside is my weight. On arriving in Thailand I was the perfect weight for my size and build, I am now 70lb overweight. When I complain that my wife is feeding me too much and that I'm fat, my wife just says, "Yes, very good, my friends and family can all see how well I'm feeding you." 

 

It's all about their social status, do everything for your man, take good care of him and you are seen as a good wife which massively elevates your social status.

 

It's impossible to resist if you want a happy marriage, just go with it and learn to enjoy it.

 

Oh well, must go now, my wife is insisting I go to the bedroom for my daily BJ . It's a tough life but somebody's got to do it...

Not like the poster on another thread then, who can't stand the place, nor the people, and most importantly, no one can cook an egg here............ Not one Thai can fry an egg.................

Who could be this stupid.  Useless to try to contradict this bunch of bunk......but not one Thai can fry an egg????? Where the heck have you been living?  I don't think I know a Thai who CAN'T fry an egg.  Time to start watching the loonies at CNN in hopes I'll see a big explosion and the screen will go blank........you guys may be next.

Not me dude.

The person i was referring to in my post.

Do try and keep up.

Or read properly.

[wwest5829]

I remember being with a Thai GF and passing a welding shop one time. The wife was there with the money belt. She used the occurance to point out that in Thailand, the wife takes care of the money. I smiled politely and said, except she was with a farang....

I dont have a lady so I have to cook, clean and do my laundry.

 

Well as to clean.... Just touch ups. And the cooking, well I have to unwrap gordian knots on the plastic bags from the Noodle Lady in front of the 7-11. Just laundry then. Don't think its worth it for me to get hooked up for the one hour savings per week.

 

So I guess its sleep, drink, excersize (horizontally or otherwise), take pics, edit pics, catch up on my reading and post.

 

Life is good. Insanity was wonderful last night. Great DJ, hot ladies. A lot of Japanese girls. One of the Coyote dancers asked me to buy her a drink, and I said, sure, how much for Short Time. She found a more compliant target.

 

 

I look forward to the next chapter. ????

I didn't come to Thailand to find a replacement mom, although I do see a lot of posters who seem to want exactly that.

I can cook, clean and deal with my own orders and purchases.

Sure, most of us can, but we also like to be 'mothered' once in a while - it breaks up the monotony  - like when a sweet young thing has your head in their lap and they are peeling grapes for you to eat, just try telling them the skins are the most nutritious, doesn't work.  As for 'N' Man's analogy??  Brilliant - but I pass on playing dumb in the markets, I do a good enough job of that for real, but at least I speak enough Thai so I can talk my way out of looking entirely stupid, and can extract a laugh along the way................in the ultimate wisdom of Brother Jimmy Buffet  "If we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane"

I have to admit, it took me a month to teach my favorite breakfast place to cook my perfect Kai Dow  (See Luang My Suk, See Khao suk)    I can eat three eggs a day and never tire of them.

I just ask for "kai dow farang". Most places seem to know what that means.

Top omelette is a Spanish omelette, tortilla. Dad was born in Spain and taught me how to make them. The trick is to make them rise like a soufflé. Sometimes make them here, in Thailand, the locals love them.

Anyone can bang an egg into a pan and think they're frying an egg. A well fried egg takes preparation, butter, correct temperature (not too [emoji91]), time, paying attention, love, and bacon in the pan for flavour. The cook also needs to inquire just how you like it - sunnyside up maybe, uncooked gooey on top perhaps, soft or hard?
This combination is not easy to find in Thailand, or indeed many other countries.
