I find them interesting how they park there cars and leave there engine running lights full on while they order food to takeaway in a restuarant just a few meters away from where many are seated eating there food. 

I also find them interesting when i want to pay my electric bill at Lotus where I have shopped for many years and told you can not as you have no Thai ID . Oh but i have paid my electric bill here for years , can not says the shopkeeper.

 

 

it sounds like you're "on the list".

I lived about 10 years in the Philippines. The food is the worst in the world. In Thailand I eat Thai food regularly and enjoy it. In the Philippines, the local food is so bad I had to eat “western' food all the time. And they've ruined a lot of the western food by making it Filipino style.

Jollibee! One of their many disgusting takes on Western food. Their spaghetti with some variant of ketchup on it posing as spaghetti sauce is just one example of the many Filipino style Western food disasters.

If my sex drive had gone down sooner, it would have saved me a lot of money.

Such a sad state of affairs (at any age) when a man loses his sex drive and his canon no longer fires.

Sex is a pleasure. Drinking is not. 
 

(anyone who leaves a confused or sad face on the above point is sad and confused themselves)

Drinking is a pleasure to many, although some take it too far and become alcoholics which is why there's an AA near Buakhao

And why so many old, alcoholic expats reside in certain places in Thailand, like Pattaya, because there they face no social pressure to give up their alcoholism.
 

There they are welcomed with a smile and offered a bar stool and a cold beer as long as their wallet is pried open.
 

Never any social stigma or pressure from anyone around them that they stop drinking so heavily as they are amongst a flock of the same. They just keep going on ordering the next drink and everyone always just welcomes their business, even praises them for being a good customer, the more they drink and spend. Up2U is the only approach.

im not sure who is worse...members here feeding an obvious troll

 

or the chinese feeding diseased ridden flying rats at TP gate

Well, since the OP is viewed as a "farang ki nok" by many, perhaps their isn't much difference between the OP and all the disgusting pigeon poo as a result of the Chinese feeding those filthy rodents in all the big tourist cities of the world.

That's what I thought, you've been sniffing too many of those cheap floor cleaning chemicals at the hospital again. It's a strange fetish of yours that provides you a way of getting high without resorting to harder drugs, so I'm not going to condemn you for it, even if you are just a glorified glue sniffer, but the cognitive damage it is causing you is very pronounced. It's leading to all kinds of bizarre misinterpretations on reality. Maybe you should stick to what you know best. I'll see if I can get you a job mopping the floors in the Manila Metro. Then you will think you've died and gone to heaven.

Not familiar with that fine establishment, but sounds like ignorance is bliss on that one.
 

Another thing that gets me though is how so many decent sit down restaurants there are modeled after American looking fast food joints. Even down to the cheap looking signage. It’s sad how the worst elements of Americana culture has had such a pronounced effect on the country.

[georgegeorgia]

One thing that made me angry in Manila was the large amount of American fast food franchises that I never even heard of....

Kenny Rogers fast food ?

Denny's 

Moshi koshi 

Ridiculous!

Not rubbish. I was referencing the requirement in order to get a retirement visa at age 35+

As I said, if you had taken a few minutes to Google the Retirement Authority site you would know that the MINIMUM age for the Retirement Visa has been 50 for a few years now. It was changed due to some perceived abuse by Chinese members.

Spaghetti with Ketchup? For real? And Parmesan or any other cheese on top? That's the food I was dreaming about as child. Awesome!

I'll bet you put ketchup on your pizza and corn in your yogurt too? Surely you really love cocoanut ice cream served in an untoasted hotdog bun? Or how about American fried rice (rice stir fried in ketchup and served with a hot dog and a deep fried chicken drumstick)? YUMMMMMM!

Sounds like typical Thai food. Isn't this about the Phillipines?

Yes, for real. They eat spaghetti with a sauce they create using ketchup made from bananas and then mix in sliced hotdogs. I'm getting sick just thinking about it.
