Yep, without that fast Internet your Pornhub would break down. Then you might have to throw the wife one instead. What a chilling thought, isn't it?

I've never found the need for porn in Thailand, available women are everywhere.

But books, TV shows, movies and forums are amazing.

1/ The cost of living is so cheap here my savings are being accrued, rather than depleted.

 

2/  My GF will take care of me until I draw my last breath.

 

3/ Plenty of entertainment - books, TV etc at the click of a mouse.

 

4/ The level of air pollution appears to be decreasing in what should be the worst month. Currently 35 AQI in my condo.

Going to immigration to make your Visa extension and find out that there are new people in charge who have invented new requirements that are nowhere to find in the Immigration publications.

Going to immigration and being required to walk several times to the copy center in front of the Immigration office, which are later deemed as not required and "classified vertically".

Meeting your dreamgirl/dreamwoman and find out that she has a very extended family who are ready to live, piggy-back, on your pension.

Meeting your dreamgirl/dreamwoman in a bar somewhere, telling you that she is working there only 2 weeks before she meet you and you are the man (love you longtime mister long hair, short hair, no hair, etc.) of her dreams and she is ready to marry you if you can pay the dowry.

Spend a fortune on a house and furniture, and find out that your dreamgirl/dreamwoman prefer to eat on a rotan carpet on the floor.

Etc.

One just told me after 8 dates, over $1500 spent on meals, concerts, etc. she just informed him she does not think they are compatible. Huh? Does the concept of overly entitled come to mind. 

1500 on 8 dates... no wonder he is not compatible... Most Thai girls eat 5 different dishes when they go out on a date.. He got what he paid for though I am sure.

Definitely the petite, smiling women that talk to me. 

So much more pleasant than the beefy, entitled, opinionated, angry frumps back in the UK.

 

Money sure helps change things.

This might seem strange to some but I am being honest. I live in a three bedroom condo right on Wong Amat Beach facing the beach. I am able to have all four slider doors open for most of the day and have the wind flow through. Today I had to close some because of excessive wind. The best part is that I am always naked as a 'Jay Bird.' Never having to wear clothing. I cannot do that in my home country.

Is this the one time you went outside your apartment?.........

I thrive in it. Was just down the beach surrounded by g-stringed Russian lovelies.

Tonight will be surrounded by g-string topless Thais In Patong.

 

the thread is about the positives, not about you not coping well.

Take away the hookers and AC, where would you be?

Proud of those purchases? I hear they're going 3 for the price of 1 in Pattaya today. If you have a printed coupon, you get an extra 1/2 hour free.

I would think those things would piss you off and not excite you.

That was in the US. That would never happen here unless you were an extremely compliant, docile, and well-trained male, fresh off the boat, who was afraid to establish any ground rules or limits. I do see many guys here that fit that category, it's pretty pathetic.

What a simp he is. 1500 spent for friend zone. 

 

She just wanted free food. I bet she was a single mom independent and strong with a great career and didn't need a man in her life. 

It was In America which is the land of the SIMPS, many of the men in America have been very well trained, are incredibly obedient, totally compliant, and they are required to check their unit at the door when they enter the house.

Never boring. Politicians always coming up with crazy tourism schemes, e.g. 'drinking zones for tourists'...

Is that bob popping out for a quick dip in this heat? Could be. Apparently his apartment above the bar isn't air conditioned.
