Truley bizzarre answer, I too live in Thailand, NongPrue infact. and life since the Covids has arrived has been great and I enjoy every second of every day. I'll be knocking off work early today (because I can) and going to spend the afternoon in my home workshop to hopefully finishing plumbing the airbag suspension I have bee installing in my fun ride.... of course that will be after a beer with my lunch that I will have poolside.

How old are you? Where do you live? those are typically the same questions women from online dating ask I have been asked hundreds of time by now.. its usually the ones that didn't read the profile with half the answers first questions they already had the answer for: what is your name? where you come from? how long you live in Thailand? then wow, how can you do? can you speak Thai? what do you do in Thailand? I tell them I just live here what do you do? (pushing for how you provide for yourself) why you choose Thailand? can you eat spicy? you like somtam? I usually ask them if they work for Immigration halfway through.. because they ask more questions than Immigration does they usually get annoyed and stop talking 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newnative Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Going to the Darkside is certainly a different experience from life on Pattaya Beach Road. Before the lockdown, my partner and I would sometimes be one of only a few diners in a restaurant--especially at Marina. When we started spending more time on the Darkside, we were surprised that we would sometimes have to wait for a table at a restaurant that had become our favorite. Things seem to still be fairly bustling on the Darkside compared to beachside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How old are you? Where do you live? And yet, if you are in The Kingdom of Thailand you should recognize that asking were you are from (country of origin), what you did for a living, how old are you, where you live, perhaps even how much you earn is all part and parcel of placing you approximately on the social scale. TIT and this is part of the culture ... jai, yen, yen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
