Do you hold hands with your paid companion?
It's what the OP has, and he just starts topics like this to hide his denial -

Pita vows to reform Thailand’s broken political system
While it would be nice to have these guys, esp Thanathorn, running things and the dinosaurs consigned to history, I would still take what is here over the potential for Thailand in following horribly Leftie wokish Western norms, effectively hamstringing the state with no opinion entertained. Oh, wait! -

Do you hold hands with your paid companion?
I'm not so sure of that... I visited friends recently and we walked to the pub... Their parents (late 70's) were with us... ... as we walked, they (the parents) were holding hands - I thought it quite pleasant. Meanwhile I walked chatting with my mate, wife walked chatting to each other and kids were 10m ahead gabbling away.... I mentioned this to my wife who pointed out that while we don't hold hands she does in fact hold or rather put her hand through my elbow (while my hand is in my pocket)... its only when we are on stairs, or steps, crossing a road etc that I'll take her hand.... It seems to work... In larger cities etc, this is usually because the handbag is placed between us.... Or if in Bangkok, we'll probably not hold hands or arms etc... I think its instinct and depends where we are.... in much the same way I'll move my wallet into my front pocket without thinking as I enter a busier area of town or go on the sky train etc. So... I say, just do what feels naturally.... Sit facing the entrance in a restaurant, she sits down before you do, if she gets up to go to the bathroom, get up too (scan the room a little, see all is ok, nothing serious just a glance), ensure her valubles are safe becasue she will have left her phone hanging off the back of a chair... let her goe through doors before you do, with you pushing it open for her, but only if you know whats on the other side, otherwise you enter first, scan the room, then bring her into the the room holding the door open for her.... ... you walk on the road side of her (or the side of perceived greater danger) etc etc... (seems excessive to write all this down - but IMO, its simple basics)... All should be habit by now... and done without thought. Meanwhile in other aspects, she does most of the driving (as I can't be bothered), I go out when I want, she goes out when she wants, we go out together when we want, either as a couple of as a family.... But one thing we don't do... is walk around a shopping mall in Bangkok, or the UK hand in hand.... we never have even when we were young..... but I won't judge those who do - they are just different, thats all..... But.... I'm not missing the point of the thread - holding hands with a bar girl (long time, short time, extra long time or whatever you want to call it).... thats up to them... it perhaps seems like they are putting on a pantomime of pretence when most people can see through the facade..... .... I can't say that it matters at to anyone at all, not even the couple in questions. -

Pattaya Klang → Bangkok Mochit Bus Terminal. Good way to get to DMK?
Thanks... but not for me; NO reservations. 2 months old posting: "The first Bus leaves at 5:00 a.m. From there, there is one departure every hour. Boarding is on a first-come, first-served basis. Since there are limited seats, it is better to prepare early. Departure times are quite accurate." And; "Typical Thai 'squeezer' minibus, 180 THB to Don Mueang. You can save yourself the trouble trying to reserve a ticket: they just don't do that there. Buses leave hourly (full hours)" -

Teenager Stabs Foreign Man in Road Rage Incident Near Pattaya
Thailand is kind enough to allow over three million foreign workers from Laos, Cambodia and Burma to earn wages higher than they would receive in their own countries. They also welcome the children of the workers in to Thailand who can attend school. Not only are these people been gifted an opportunity to not only lift themselves out of poverty, but the money earned gets sent back to the home countries helping millions more people, often elderly people. Our UK government does nothing for these people. Of course with so many millions of people there willl be a small percentage who exploit. But if it is so bad as Rich is trying to portray word would get out and none would come here. -

Brazil Travel Report
Thanks for sharing. I had a different experience though. My friend and I booked a car and driver to take us there, we wandered all over the Brasillian side and it was quite busy but enough quiet spots to get pictures. We also did a boat tour which was fun as you go right in to the foot of the falls. And before we even started we did a helicopter tour of the whole thing which was amazing, especially when the pilot swooped down at an angle over the falls - a real heart in mouth moment. After that we went back to our car and he drove us over to Argentina and we spent the afternoon on that side. Much more impressive than the Brasillian side and much less crowded (if I remember correctly - it was 18 years ago now). Definitely busy but what amazing spot like that wouldn't be? But we found enough quiet places to get amazing photos. I would share them but I am in most of them so therefore don't want to. Definitely agree on the power station / dam though, we did a night tour there and it was very underwhelming and very boring. That was our first night in Brasil and a definite let down. The rest of the trip was amazing though. We did eat local food in Igaucu and it was good. But not as good as what we ate in Rio and Salvador. -

Teen motorcyclist dies after being hit by truck at traffic stop
See Richard, you are too dim to realize that this is a translation that has been deliberately “enhanced “ for readers like you who just accept. Do you really think a Thai truck driver would speak English to a Thai policeman here? Please use your brain. Here is the original article that this story originated from. https://siamrath.co.th/n/559430 NOWHERE a does it claim the driver said such a thing. He didn’t say it. In English or Thai. Now I wouldn’t expect you to actually be able to read Thai despite living here for two decades. So ask your Thai friend or wife to read it for you and you will see that he never said that at all. This site relies on revenue, by claiming such things it gets people like yourself to post more = more revenue. You have been sucked in Richie. Fell for it hook line and sinker. Please fact check what I have just informed you with a Thai before continuing your rant about what you THINK the driver actually said. You will see you are wrong again, not that you will admit it on here. You will go silent for a change. To be clear the driver did not say he was “going too fast to stop in time” . It never happened. -
