The fact you ask is a sign you never leave the bar.

I like beaches. Most bars in Thailand are boring. Prefer riding motorbikes and doing things. Beer isnt cheap in bars and Thai beers arent much good.

How would you know most bars are boring if you don't go to them? Unless you go to buy soda.

So you're definitely not American then, where the tops are twist off. What kind of tops do they have in Russia anyway?

Soda water in Thailand is flip off. Beers vary.

Ive been to bars to look dude. Mostly fake Irish bars. The odd one is ok once a month.

I go to bars once a month to watch sport. Generally the food and beers are overpriced. I prefer Thai curries and walking around

If questioned by police that knife could be viewed as carrying a concealed weapon and cause legal complications. Better to carry a retractable box cutter instead.

except one of those is alot bigger

As everyone is posting photos, here is the back of mine with extra security tie so impossible to fall off or be taken whilst on the motorbike

So then you have almost no knowledge of bars here. What's a fake Irish bar? Do the Thais dress up in Irish clothes and dance around drinking dark beer? I've been to countless bars in my past but only two here in Isaan, so I can't assume what goes on and only go by what friends have told me.

Texas has thousands of bars and also roadhouses, which are great bars because they have live music.

You sit in Sisaket. You have never been to any CM bars. Irish bars are around the world.

Again you're assuming. I don't "sit" in Sisaket but am out almost daily. My girlfriend lives over 40 kilos from me, whom I visit weekly. CM bars mean nothing. You have a fetish with a city, thinking it's nirvana. It's not, and the air is extremely bad there much of the year. It's just another large city in Thailand, much the same as all the others, besides the fact there are hill tribes close. Yes, I'm half Irish, so know about Irish bars. I don't call them fake because they are in Thailand. if it's owned or run by an Irishman, it's legitimate.

Man bags !!..... all look a bit poofy to me.

You have never been to the bars I went too. How could you? You never visited the cities. Bars are mostly the same everywhere. You just like arguments.

From what everyone says here, it's you that's the troll. I started a topic, so stay out of that one if you only want to argue. Here, I commented and you trolled, as usual. Again, seeing you either can't understand much of the written word and just skim, I have been many places. You don't know me, nor anyone else here. That you think you do has you sounding like an imbecile. If you keep this up, you might find yourself out again, as I'm done with your childishness.

Calm down and discuss topics and issues.

Phone in me pocket, wallet in the other one, glasses on me head, job done.

Keys to get into my house or car, not to mention a handkerchief, and yes, I also have those glasses on my nose, otherwise I can't see anything.

Power banks are over. The only people still hauling those heavy bricks around are owners of bargain bin phones with batteries so weak they wheeze after you take a dump. Or terminally online nobodies who spend the entire day malignantly glued to their screens, doomscrolling and trolling on AN because they have nothing else going on. If your phone cannot survive a normal day without being hooked up to a portable power source, the problem is not modern technology. It is you.

Power banks aren’t “over” — they’re insurance. Long days, travel, emergencies, GPS, hotspotting, crappy reception, ageing batteries, power outages. If you’ve never needed one, congrats on living a small, predictable life. Some of us leave the house.

Everything but the kitchen sink! I put off carrying one for years, but now that I'm older, I need so many things at a moment's notice that I never needed when I was younger. Many of the trousers that I bought off Temu.com have back pockets that are so small that my wallet won't fit in them, so that goes in the bag. Many of the big retailers don't have the bum guns in their toilets and have taken all the toilet paper out of the toilets, so I carry toilet paper and handy wipes. I also carry a small bottle of water, medications, coins in a small capsule, a shoehorn, mints, my sugar substitute liquid in a squirt bottle, and ink pen and paper. I have always been a man's man, but I no longer care what anything thinks of me. Carrying a bag may not look manly, but these days convenience means so much more to me. I never go anywhere without it.

Do you use one?

If so whats in it?

I have one for power bank, glasses, vitamins.

Its army style so looks "manly"

Very well made with drink holder. Can attack beer opener to outside.

I don't use one now – plastic card and money in breast pocket, glasses on my nose, smartphone in my back pocket (however, not ideal in pick pocketing areas) – but when I used on earlier to by that time carry a small digital camera, I had a little leather bag in the belt for that and also the by that time tiny handy Nokia-phone. Using a kind of belt bag is also better protection for pickpoicketing.
