Or have I missed something? oh just to refresh your memory here is your list Swim all year Cheap massages Cheap restaurants/accomm No need to leave car for refuels Acceptance of much younger GF/wife Hardly unique to Thailand can swim all year in any country. cheap massages available in any third world country cheap restaurants and hotels as above younger wife no problem anywhere In car refuels ? ok i'll give you the benefit of the doubt for that one, but personally I prefer self service In his first sentence the OP makes comparisons between Thailand and his home country. Hence IMHO the topic is about the ‘top 5 things you like most about Thailand not found in your home country’. Of course you can swim all year in warm weather, have cheap accommodation, massages, rent etc in many other countries, but definitely not in the home country of the vast majority of contributors to this thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the scooter for short trips, the car for longer trips, such as visiting friends in CM from CR. I've done multiple loops around northern Thailand. I would never get on a big bike, I know my limitations. IMO those who do have latent suicidal tendencies. I've driven through Bangkok once, that was enough.

Alcohol impairs reaction time even when imbibed below the legal limit. If you are driving with cannabis in your system, IMO you forfeit any moral high ground you may think you have. I do agree driving is quite relaxing, strange as it may seem on some of the most dangerous roads in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relaxed road laws, traffic fines won't break the bank. 3/ Having a girlfriend 23 years younger than me, who thinks the sun shines from my posterior. 4/ Enjoying all the permutations and combinations of the multiple cuisines available here, inexpensively. 5/ Knowing I won't be shoved into an aged care facility, and fed food that would make a dog puke. Bonus - Seeing a specialist without BS referrals, and getting replacement medications at pharmacies without BS prescriptions. Agree in full - you're not Australian by any chance? Thought so. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not interested is prostitutes, just disgusted by the type who come here primarily for sex, thinking they are actually doing the girls and the economy a favour, ignorant of the crime, despair, disease and depression behind the fake smiles and neon. it's a regular on here for people to defend the exploitation of Thai woman, one was boasting the other week of a 14 year old he met in Phuket and another regular banged up his own (underage) stepdaughter and got her pregnant.

Sex tourists and resident mongers are the dregs of society. You are now talking about completely different issues, nowhere have I condoned sex with underage girls on either a paid for or incestuous basis However if a woman above the legal age of consent is willingly offering sex for money,and a man, also above the age of consent decides to take her up on her offer, what is your problem? other than moralising and self promotion 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
