Lisa Blackpink is a hero in Buriram, but hardly the best looking woman from there. Still, good for her. I like winning stories. Allow something positive. Glass half full is a much more pleasant way to pass through life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is good but not outstanding, helped by her age and she has a deformity for the sympathy vote. Seen better young singers get nowhere due to having a poor attitude, manner is very important for Thai singers, they get judged on that. Another famous new singer Yuki has had bad press for her little miss up to me attitude. Super valentine concert tonight, girl group Wat Bang Bon, no music no life ???? Not that keen on them but Mrs likes them, they are not too bad when they get past this song Edited August 1, 2023 by proton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Trippy Posted August 1, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 1, 2023 I love it here. With the exception of some food I miss, there is nothing I can't get here. Don't understand why people complain so much about Thailand. But maybe they just wouldn't be happy anywhere. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot depends on how long you're been in Thailand and your personality. Foe many what started off as cute when you first get off the boat, can over time just irritate the sh***t out of you. From garbage in the road, noise enough to burst your eardrums, power outages, it can just overwhelm you, especially I would say if you are retired and sat at home doing nothing. Then couple in visa's and God knows what else it can 'for some' eat at the soul. I've said this before, Thailand is a great place for guys mid 40's to late 50's. It's fun and different. But get into your 60's a lot of things start to change, and that when you gotta start making hard choices, not the dirt easy ones like when you first moved to Thailand!

soalbundy Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I'm more annoyed by all these intrusive adverts on 'Asean Now', as soon as you get rid of one another one pops up. I don't understand it, I never buy online. 'That Expat Health insurance' one really gets on my goat, it's even half covered over by another ad, like they're lining up and can't wait to annoy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

473geo Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I enjoy a good life here, challenges for sure, in a busy daily schedule that allows little time for attention to how others view Thailand Make of it what you will, doesn't need to align with my opinion, I can't fix it for you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmm. I see a lot of "we must do something" but not much in the way of "how to". Perhaps you read different threads than I. I've made more "how to" suggestions than the posters saying we must do something. PS, the planet will be fine, but humanity not so and IMO there is no way to actually change climate, no matter how many windmills they put up. Nature will do what nature does, and if we don't accept that and learn to adapt, IMO we'll be joining the dinosaurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
