2- Immigration paperwork breeds when left unattended.

3- When the monsoon hits, a plastic bag is a five star raincoat.

4- When out on the piss, check under the hood before taking one back.

5- At a traffic stop, sudden loss of Thai language memory can be a superpower.

    Never throw anything away, no matter how broken. Wrap it up, put it somewhere, and forget you have it.

  1. When a Thai bloke asks if you have a girlfriend, always say yes unless you fancy meeting his fat aunt.

  2. If someone praises your Thai, immediately downgrade yourself to noobie level.

  3. When asked if you eat spicy, always say no unless you enjoy sweating through your eyeballs.

  4. If nature calls, avoid petrol station squat toilets unless you are feeling athletic.

  5. If a Thai woman invites you to a party, bringing your girlfriend is never a great strategy.

BONUS: Soi dogs are not man's best friend.

pour some water in a bowl, then place a glass with some water in it to make it stand steadily in the water,

-now you can place a plate with any food there and the ants cant go there.

same principle can be done with the four feet of a table to create a water barrier for the entire table

for bikers: buy four crocodile clamps and some electric wires, and make your own starter cables that fit under the seat on a scooter or in the front roll leather thing on a chopper. i once started a diesel 6 cylinder pickup with these 2-3 mm wires

When you make an appointment with a contractor assume it will be altered, or delayed, or cancelled. Check to confirm up to 1 hour before, although this too is no guarantee, as grandmother deaths occur regularly, and every Thai has multiple grandparents.

If Bob invites you to meet him at a bar on Soi 6, don't go unless you like ladyboys.

This will save much time and aggravation.

You know what they say, and it is true:

Chinese wife for some things.

Japanese wife for other things.

Western wife for.....whatever.

So, all three are required.

Indeed, one must be especially careful around any AN members who are openly huge fans of Kamala Harris. These types are known to invite other AN members out on gay dates. Don't say I didn't warn you...

I love vanity plates on a car (not) I also love people who use the acronym GOAT while trying to fool people into believing that it is the noun. For those who don't know, GOAT stands for: Greatest Of All Time. Quite a heavy crown to keep

a. When the home renovations cowboy comes over to give a quote, always consider the right price is at least 50% less then what he is quoting you.

b. They like you mainly for your money. Not for your tatoos, your pot belly, your bodybuilt pecs or your hansum looks,

c. If she is more then 5.6" tall and is gorgeous, chances are that she is a "he".

e. Don't think that unprotected oral BJ is safe.

f. Being nice and polite even with the rude, locals or not, can get get you far.

Reminded of the reason why there was a change in dental practice invoked by the General Dental Council some years ago

A lady went to have her wisdom teeth removed. The dentist gave her a very powerful sedative

She later confirmed to the police she slept through the whole procedure

When she got o home she found her underwear was on inside out and back to front

It transpired she had been raped!

Antibiotics treat a sunburn.

And now a useful one: save your immigration documents as a pdf and just change the date and print it out for your next renewal.

Ignore all losers on AN who carry a negative reputation score. In particular, completely disregard all accounts with cringe usernames that include words like "man" or "fan".

It all started when the lady said to the dentist, "I'm not sure which is worst, having a tooth out or having a baby?"

The dentist replied, "Make up your mind madam, I need to know which tool to use."

So brown rice is best... Thank you. I knew rice worked, but haven't implemented using any, especially in the garlic salt.
Thank You! @BilllyGOAT
