I don't sense that at all. Many have chosen a simple live out of necessity. They opted to live in Thailand within their means in lieu of returning to their home country. Others are financially secure enough to live simply or extravagantly and don't bother with banal comments about those with less.

I'm sure you feel dapper in those 100+ bt clothes.

Seafood buffet

georgegeorgia · yesterday at 02:43 AM1 day

I would like to try a beautiful delicious seafood buffet I don't know where to go in Pattaya for this ,hence I'm seeking analysis on this project I'm not particularly concerned about price , but as I don't like crowds or people sitting near me , I don't like too many people where it's obnoxiously overcrowded where people are pushing shoving fighting for the food I find people seem attracted to me like honey to a pot , I could be in a restaurant say Sizzlers and there is hundreds of tables

Poll -- Ethiopian restaurant in Pattaya?

Jingthing · yesterday at 08:51 AM1 day

There are a number of cuisines types that are probably more obviously missing in Pattaya now (notably Indonesian and Malaysian) but this topic is about Ethiopian. I'm curious about the interest and possible demand for a decently priced, reasonably good/authentic Ethiopian restaurant here. I know that many urban Americans are familiar with Ethiopian food, but I'm not sure about Europeans and other nationalities. It's my impression that it;'s a kind of food that once tried, the majority will li

The International Left's Dangerous Appeasement of Iran, A Wake Up Call for Global Security! In an era where state sponsors of terrorism like Iran continue to escalate their nuclear threats, it's alarming to see elements of the international left, including disillusioned citizens of Western countries, turning a blind eye or even justifying such actions as responses to USA/Israel aggression, especially after repeated attempts at negotiations . This pattern of appeasement not only undermines glob

From break-up ballad to The Doors’ darkest anthem

bannork · 1 hour ago1 hr

It began as a simple break-up song for a lost love. It ended up becoming one of rock music’s darkest, strangest and most disturbing masterpieces. The haunting track “The End” by The Doors started life in the summer of 1965 after frontman Jim Morrison was dumped by his longtime girlfriend, art student Mary Werbelow. Heartbroken Morrison poured his feelings into a tender goodbye song. The couple had first met three years earlier on a beach in Clearwater, Florida. Their relationship seemed stron

Is the US losing interest in the war with Iran?

spidermike007 · 5 hours ago5 hr

Trump appears to have thought that this was going to be a fairly simple process, and he believed Netanyahu when he was told that this would be a fun and easy adventure. Let's bomb Iran together old buddy. This has very obviously not turned out like Don assumed it would, and he's very likely looking for an off-ramp at this point. Financial havoc? Inflation? A declining stock market? More instability? This sums up the current nightmare Don is facing. Regime change was the plan, but Trump finds i

Plan B Retirement to ShanXi China: YOLO…!!!

GammaGlobulin · 8 hours ago8 hr

Dear Folks, You only live once, or so it is surmised by those who are no-longer among us.. And, I am thinking about going for the gusto in Shanxi, China. I have decided that ShanXi will be my new Plan B, if I need an escape destination. This is one place I have longed to visit, since I was 18. And so, I would like to know if anyone here has any experience living in Shanxi. I am an Old Friend of China, as I think I have mentioned in past comments. Therefore, I expect that a long-term visa mi

After Aggressive Pruning: Can/will this tree even survive?

GammaGlobulin · 11 hours ago11 hr

Dear Folks, As we all know, most trees in the city, or the suburbs, get pruned. Most seem to survive this cutting. However, some never recover. At this time, I am worried about my favorite tree which has been growing near my property for some time, and which has provided me with welcome shade from the sun, during the Hot Seasons. I have no idea concerning the botanical name for this species of tree. I just know that it once was beautiful. My hope is that it will re-grow into its former se

Why do electric-power outages very rarely happen during evening hours?

GammaGlobulin · yesterday at 05:44 PM1 day

Dear Folks, Have you ever wondered why grid-related power outages are extremely rare during evening hours, while PEA workers are asleep? Yet, they happen all the time while these PEA workers are awake and ON-THE-JOB? Ever wondered about THIS? Just an innocent question...and.... Can you, or anyone, provide a good and logical explanation? Please feel free to chime-in with your thoughts. Thank you. Best regards, Gamma NOTE: By evening hours, we mean about 7:00pm to 5:30am, in case we need
