Getting Old: Stoic About It or Endless Whinger?
That too, but relatively affordable healthcare in TH is a myth, it'll cost. Getting older does define your life, and getting trapped in TH , would be a nightmare , getting decrepit would be suicide fodder -

Love or Lust? What Are Foreigners Looking for in Thailand’s Nightlife?
Interesting about that German beer. I wonder if it was any good or perhaps just one of their crappy local piltz brews. The reference to banging like a belt fed mortar is very humorous, but obviously borrowed from British military speak. That's what tipped me off. I also read that the term “Herfie handbag” is British military slang that refers humorously to a container or bag used by a soldier to carry personal items or snacks, particularly in a casual or non-standard way. In a broader context I also read that “Herfie” itself is slang for a cigarette break or social gathering, often during military downtime. -

K bank E-mail with Tax Forms attached ?
This email and the forms are the normal self-certification for FATCA/CRS. Necessary for the bank to participate. Every bank should have sent this to all old customers in the beginning of the year. Some are slow. (Actually, all are slow.) New customers should have given all this information to the bank when opening the account. Some old customers may have provided this information, but cannot remember it. They are very US-centric because the land of the free is the most intrusive one the US asks a lot more than the EU (CRS is basically the EU version of FATCA - I know this is a simplification) -

The Baby Shield - One of my favorite Thai scams
Though the OP is negative, it’s a factual occurrence in TH that guys get snagged by a conduit beggar and are too weak to pull out. How long have you been here? How can you not know what he’s talking about? -

Love or Lust? What Are Foreigners Looking for in Thailand’s Nightlife?
The Herfiehandbag was the slang term for a six pack of Herforder Pils beer - a popular brew in the part of Northern Germany in which the British Army of The Rhine (BAOR) was based. It came in a small yellow cardboard box, with a carrying handle - hence the name "Herfiehandbag'. We were the fittest alcoholics in NATO you know! -
