[Did Anyone Know Trink?]

I read Odzer's book about 30 years ago. Wasn't overly impressed. A bit disappointed in fact how she came to Bangkok to do one thing for her PhD and ended up hooking up with a local guy instead, having a troubled, whirlwind relationship with him, and not really finishing her thesis in the way she had set out. It started out as a project with an interesting and useful narrative and then ended up as a rather typical Bangkok downward spiral story. I don't mean to sound critical of her outcome, because that's how real life often turns out; not exactly as one would have planned. But when you write a book about it, the reader kind of expects things to end on a more enlightening note. 

Quite typical for loso western women to end up with a Thai guy. You see it on the islands all the time.

In other words, 'pissed up pick up driver, playing on his phone, ploughs into the back of the cyclist.'

That's hilarious. Korea is one of the most racist and misogynistic places on Earth. LOL!

If alcohol isn't a requirement, there's some great Halal/Muslim/S TH fair around the Mosques.  Some excellent massamans, curries & roti.  Again, no farangs, as their bigotry won't allow it.

Bigotry? Not everyone likes this food or the backwaed Halal part. Not bigotry. Ridiculous comment.

Us??? 

Westerners, or in this case, British.

[Park Defends Entrance Fee For Visiting ‘Wild Boars’ Cave]

Kind of ironic that the divers who located the kids were westerners but now they're the ones paying higher prices. Not a very nice way of thanking us.

Soi 8 is where a always stay, stable lodge decent hotel, taxi firm outside is cheap, took me to korat for 2500 baht 

Stable Lodge was opened by Danes just before their first hotel on the soi, Mermaids Rest closed. First place I stayed at in Bangkok. Nice bungalows around the pool. Soi 8 used to be great but now gentrified with expensive eateries and poncy western DJs though some of the smaller bars are ok.

I think it hasn't change much since then. Same old crappy buildings and broken pavements inside the soi

Had character, though.

[Great Bangkok Sois]

Which soi has a combination of street food/market and A/C restaurants plus affordable accommodation and some nice bars but retaining the 'old Bangkok' atmosphere with no anti-westerner feeling?

I used to like Sukhumvit Soi 8 in the 90s before it was gentrified with high end condos and pretebtious wine bars with snobby DJs.

Petchaburi Soi 5 came close in the early 2000s.

[Is Thailand safe for single women? And be careful how you answer! - Tim Newton Today - Dec 11]

Generally, yes it's safe. The western woman needs to act responsibly and not put herself in certain situations. I've often seen drunk low-so twatpacker types draped all over thuggish looking Thai guys on the islands and elsewhere.

You clearly don't understand China. The woman represents the majority there. Period. There are no "Nanas" because prostitution is illegal. 

It's illegal in Thailand, as well. LOL!

There is a huge amount of prostitution in China.

There is a comparatively respectively Nana, and the sleazy part on the other side of Sukhumvit.  Guess which side the tourist police picture was taken at.

Ate you saying the Islamic area, full of African hookers and drug dealers is a good area?

Still waiting for real evidence that Hamas was using hospitals for military bases. 

Hamas admitted it.

The IDF took videos of the tunnels leading to the hospitals. 

They found dead hostages and evidence of military activity there.

Released hostages confirmed it.

What more do you want?

Pure sort of Iranian McCarthyism. 

 

Hamas could not provide 100% full safety of the Israeli hostages due to constant Israeli carpet bombing.

 

Hamas could not provide 100% full comfort as food, medicines, healthcare etc... to the Israeli hostages due to blockade of Israel and the indiscriminate bombing of Gaza hospitals.

 

Anything else that smelts bad ?

There's no carpet bombing. The hospital was hit by a rocket from Islamic Jihad. A proven fact. Hamas uses hospitals as military bases. A proven fact. As I said, your posts stink of support for Hamas.

I didn't blame the messenger. The messenger his "credible links" were not reliable and too biased. It's based on Iranian opposition and I could not trace it on "mediabiasfactcheck" too. So I didn't blame anybody. I just pinpointed that the sources used are not reliable for me.

 

Writing : "Just say you have no clue at all, its fine..." without providing feedback or response to my post and not adding reliable links is...rather contradicting yourself. (LOL)

Biased? Your posts stink of support for Hamas and Iran. Saying that Israeli hostages were well-treated after seeing their family members murdered by Hamas gunmen.

The fact that you take anything the Iranian government says, with absolutely no proof, as gospel is, frankly, hilarious. And highly suspect.

Iran had nothing to do with 7th of October attacks. Not even Hezbollah was informed of these Hamas attacks.

And you know this how? You have direct access to the upper echelons of Hamas and Hezbollah? Please! Iran is the main backer of Hamas and Hezbollah.
Also, I forgot to mention, the millions given to Hamas by misguided western governments and UN agencies, is used for weapons. Not DIY rockets as you ridiculously claim.

Well, there are a lot of different answers depending on location. So there is more than one schedule. If you've nothing of worth to add, move along.

When does the nightmare of Songkran in Pattaya end?
