I need to find an appropriate 12 step group for my desire to click on these posts.

It appears that I’m addicted to “cringe”.

I think I need to block the OP, if only to avoid my many inevitable, 'what the fxxxk' comments made out loud.

This is a joke right? Thais are not interested in anything we have to say, unless it's gossip.

Right on! I keep telling my Thai wife this but she won’t listen.

Have you considered learning about story telling.

I don't know much about it. But I can give you one advice: GET TO THE POINT!

He did. There just wasn't much to it. Apparently the point was to write something and post it.

We took the bait too.

A perfectly good ten minutes of my life that I'll never get back.

Fortunately I don't need this thread, as my wife is Laotian and not imbued with all these Thai cultural niceties.

What a load of waffle. If you live in Thailand don't take anything too seriously, even death.

Jay0kay · Friday at 05:31 PM1 day

...walking on the sidewalks in pattaya. there are two clear groups, who believe they can just make everyone else get out of their way, despite there being ample room for everyone to walk past each other without any issues. young chinese men walking with a woman. they walk down the middle of the sidewalks and expect everyone else to get out of their way. i lived in huai kwang for longer than i wished to and it was the same, as nine in ten of people walking down the street were native chinese wor

Trump says US will ‘obliterate’ Iran’s power plants if Strait of Hormu

ravip · 5 hours ago5 hr

What an absolutely “brilliant” way to rescue struggling Iranians from their oppressive leadership. Truly, more nations should line up and invite the US to “liberate” their citizens. It seems the labels “developed country” and “first world” have taken on entirely new meanings. One has to wonder—have basic human ethics simply gone out of fashion? President Donald Trump issued Iran with a 48-hour deadline to re-open the Strait of Hormuz, after which he says the US will "obliterate" Iranian power

US Considering Asylum for British Jews

Evil Penevil · January 18Jan 18

That's a shocking headline. Apparently Jews are no longer safe in the U.K. as the government is unable or unwilling to tackle deeply ingrained and fanatic antisemitism. Listing Palestine Action was a good start, but doesn't go far enough. US considering asylum for British Jews The Trump administration is discussing the possibility of offering asylum to Britain’s Jewish population, The Telegraph can reveal. Robert Garson, Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, said he had been in talks with the state de

Trump eyes dramatic move to break Iran’s Hormuz blockade

bannork · Friday at 05:50 PM1 day

Kharg island Donald Trump is weighing an audacious military gamble in the Middle East. The US president is reportedly considering a risky ground offensive aimed at smashing Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz — a choke point that has rattled the global economy and sent oil prices surging. Under the potential plan, US forces could occupy or blockade Iran’s Kharg island. The small but vital island sits just 15 miles off Iran’s mainland and processes around 90 per cent of the country’s crude o

Irans weapons kept in reserve

3NUMBAS · 23 hours ago23 hr

Iran is revealing new military capabilities as its war with Israel and the US enters its fourth week, and the regime still has more cards to play, from as-yet-unseen missiles to allied militias and sleeper cells abroad. The missiles fired at the US-UK Diego Garcia base demonstrated a range of around 2,400 miles, far beyond previous estimates of Iran’s capabilities. Tehran’s military also deployed the Haj Qasem, a newly developed medium-range ballistic missile with a half-tonne warhead, for the f

Do foreigners in Thailand really change or just adapt?

Do foreigners in Thailand really change or just adapt?

SoCal1990 · yesterday at 12:20 PM1 day

Had a vivid conversation last night with a group of about 10 expat friends at a relaxing restaurant down in Silom that ended up going all over the place. The group was mostly men, but a few women as well. Basically all people who live and work here and have some sort of busy lifestyle, as opposed to many foreigners living here who no longer work and end up staying home with their own comforts in some form of isolation. After we finished the meal and had a few drinks, what started as a simple c

Do expats in Thailand see relationships differently over time?

The Cobra · yesterday at 02:43 AM1 day

I’ve been thinking about this for a while and wasn’t sure how to word it without it sounding wrong, but here goes. Living in Thailand has changed how I look at relationships. Not overnight, and not in some dramatic way, but gradually over time. Back home, things felt more fixed. People settled into a certain pattern — similar age, similar background, similar expectations. Here, it feels different. The range of relationships you see is much wider, and the expectations don’t always line up the sam
