Not sure whats up with Korean men, but yea, they get hostile over women. I did a couple nights in Seoul about 10 years ago, went to a couple clubs. As soon as I started chatting up the local ladies, I got serious stink eye from the guys there, at one club a couple toughs came over and told me I didn't belong there and needed to leave. O.K. kimchee breath, I'm outta here.

An early business deal when he got 500 million from his father was to open casinos in Atlantic City. The kind of people involved in casinos are not church goers. The casinos went bankrupt! How terrible of a businessman are you to have your casinos go under? And THEN, how much do you owe those non-churchgoers so that Tony doesn't off you and your family?

No pointing ? Well, now I'm lost, which one is the swindler?

Hooray for the teachers who stepped up and saw something amiss. So often here, we only see the headlines of teachers abusing the children. Sounds to me like the child is pretty bright. To have been surviving on her own, may she continue toward a path of future success. Shame on you goofs who relate her to the sex industry, pull your heads out of the gutter.

Yes, yes it is, and why sir do you find it necessary to sign everything with a giant black Sharpie? Normal people use a pen..........

It's amazing how the Trumpers on this Forum stick up for their clown. Just accept that he is a mental midget. Did you see this one where ol boy has a Biden old man moment, fumbles all the UK trade documents, then says the agreement is with the EU? Breixet? HELLO DUMBA**S !!! https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/global-trends/video-trump-drops-papers-of-us-uk-trade-deal-at-sidelines-of-g7-summit-then-calls-it-eu-agreement-keir-starmer/articleshow/121913729.cms?from=mdr

He wanted his Kim Jong Un moment, but the problem was unlike KJU he couldn't execute anyone if they didn't show up waving flags. Don't wave that flag hard enough (?) gulag. But......on the same day one of his MAGA minions started assassinating opponents, now there's some KJU !

I've seen this happen already. Back in the day, late 90's early 2000's there was quite the Hash group in Phuket. One Hash member dubbed "The Reverend", parked his car in Patong, joined the Hash group, proceeded to get completely blasted, forgot where he parked his car. Went to the police stumbling drunk, told them he'd lost his car, car was "never found".

Russia doesn't want him, although, sure, ship him here and directly to the Ukrainian front would be an idea. Not a US citizen, a U.S green card holder and with Trump's aggression toward illegals, he might end up.....on the Ukrainian front. Lets hope 10 years in Philippine prison teaches dickweed some manners. What a douche.

Richard Smith, you make many valid points, but many won't fly in SE Asia as it's a different mindset, IMO. Som nam naa......what were you thinking going in that rough surf after a bunch of drinks? Why are you in the water if you can't swim? Not going to spend money there as the drownings are probably a fraction compared to road fatalities. This thread brought a ton of memories back for me. Surfing Nai Harn back before our dopey Dutch friend published that Phuket had surf (in the low season), I was in the water by myself when I see a guy in trouble, paddle over, get him out of the water. Ends up he is a neurosurgeon from Belgium, so hopefully when my day comes and I'm sitting with God, he/she is saying "ya, but you were not a good guy here...." , I can fire back, how many people did that neurosurgeon save after I saved him? Points on my good guy board, no? Dreamt last night of "water wheelies" you know, the round "lifesaver buoys" with rope, being stationed up and down beaches so anyone could toss it out and drag people in.

100% agree. Stretch the legs walking around, eat some noodle soup, use a toilet that isn't a mini closet, wash up a bit. I prefer that minibreak, before going on.

In the eleven years I lived in Phuket, I had to have pulled no less than 25 people out of the water in low season. Included in that was one dog, who got roughed up in the surf at Nai Harn, swam out instead of in and was in a drowning death spiral when I got to him. 50% of the people, were drunk. The dog, not. Thai kids, fully clothed and weighed down. Couldn't swim! Why are you in the water? At notorious Karon, saw a friend and his Thai GF get in trouble not but 3 meters from shore when myself and another jumped in and pulled them out. They were getting pounded in the shorebreak, young Thai woman was hysterical, she thought for sure she was going to die. Inexperienced water people in dangerous waters, add some drinks in the sun, recipe for disaster.

I think it was the good selection of biers. Yes, Belgian guy ran it, and it was a popular expat hangout.

Best of luck with your health Xy. Sorry to hear about Montes. Back in 2005-6, that was one of my first new accounts, was quite the happening spot then. At the time the wine company I worked for also had a foray into Belgian biers and Montes took a ton of those as well as some wine.

What the heck is he wearing? They need to look into the wife as an accomplice for letting him leave the house dressed like a poofter.
