Older Retirees and Younger Partners in Rural Thailand: Accepted or Not?
A lot of foreign men in Thailand are drawn to small, dark-skinned, ethnic-looking Thai women with round faces and flat noses who often resemble ethnic traits seen in Cambodians, Filipinas, or Laotians. However, locals in Thailand are usually unimpressed by these choices, as they often view these women as coming from the peasant class and don’t share the same sense of attraction that many foreigners have. When these women travel overseas to Europe or the US, they frequently struggle to gain acceptance there as well. Their darker skin tone and appearance can lead many Westerners to associate them with housekeepers or low-paid laborers rather than seeing them as glamorous or desirable partners. Of course, everyone is free to love who they choose, and what others think shouldn’t matter. But many foreigners mistakenly believe that taking their dark-skinned Thai partners abroad will provoke envy in restaurants or public places, when in reality, the unspoken reaction is often quite the opposite. -

Is private health insurance worth it for a long-term stay in Thailand?
If you are healthy, insurance is a waste of money. Save the money in case you get sick and make some interest on it. -

BigC extra on klang
Yes, stores do this as a matter of course. As you're wandering around looking for the coffee you'll see something and go " Actually I need some of that." There's lots of tricks they have to get you to buy. -

Foreigners Flaunting Wealth in Thailand: How Is It Viewed?
I'm a cheap Charlie, as no way, would I spend more than ฿3M for a house. But I also don't want to live in a big metro or tourist area, so don't need to. For 7.5 M baht, I can drive <10 mins to the surf for that view. Sit in Mira coffee shop, far right of the mall. 7M buys a lot of coffee & pastry. Saw a townhouse surfside the other day and was curious, so had the wife call & ask 3 story, but not wide, perfect location and across the street from lovely bay, but ugly A$$ wires in front of balcony, and the price. If aroun the corner from were we live, may 2M, and that's a stretch. Have neighbor with stand alone house w/ small lot for less than 3M. https://www.google.co.th/maps/place/Mira+Cafe/@11.8263741,99.8035101,3a,75y,302.81h,99.95t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1seA8vU6lxX2YH9DSZCWuvBQ!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D-9.951024021828331%26panoid%3DeA8vU6lxX2YH9DSZCWuvBQ%26yaw%3D302.8100000042736!7i16384!8i8192!4m6!3m5!1s0x30fe83d9c21c7a3d:0x553b5a4d7245f961!8m2!3d11.8268152!4d99.8036007!16s%2Fg%2F11y44xfd8b?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDYzMC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D -

USA Trump 'Madman Theory' How Unpredictability Is Shaping Global Power Dynamics
Thats not a strategy but an aberration. It is not normal behavior for a country to attack another country without legitimate justification. It is another WMD madness or excuse to attack another country on false pretext. Maybe you can explain what is Trump's major or overall aim for the bombing after his own intelligence assessment said there was no evidence Iran making any nuclear bomb. Are you going to support your leader making big decision based on his personal judgement or doing his biding for Netanyahu.
