  1. Live in a non expat prevalent area and there are 1000's of women. See one you like and ask her out, pretty simple. Set yourself some standards like university educated, employed and speaks your language and start dating. My wife never asked me how much money I had nor did she ask, want nor expect any gifts or money. She did ask where I worked because I was working in Vietnam but she wasn't interested in Financials at all. It's all about getting to know somebody and having mutual trust.

  2. Most countries encourage children to participate in outside activities like sport in order to encourage physical activity.

    Thailand continually yaks about high pollution but does very little to actually combat the issue. The amount of vehicle pollution is rediculous because strict emissions rules are basically ignored. A drive on any highway will show testament to that statement, as vehicles belch diesel fumes everywhere.

    Burning off in rice paddies etc continue unabated in rural areas and farmers don't have other economic options, so will never stop their burn offs. A lot of pollution is also carried in from neighboring countries, so international agreements need to be formulated during Asean meetings.

     

  3. They aren't "helping" to clean up the beach because that infers that another group (like the local municipality) were cleaning the beach and the Russians pitched in to help. 

     

    It's about time that Thailand cleans and maintains its beaches so that paying tourists can get on with the job of enjoying the natural beauty of Thailand whilst the Thai government takes responsibility for maintaining its "pristine beaches" as advertised by the TAT, just like other municipal government bodies do in tourist places in other countries with nice beaches.

     

    Secondly Thai people and Tourists need to be educated in disposing of their rubbish in facilities that should be provided by the municipality. Frankly speaking the government drags in the tourists and then fails to direct some of that tourism money into maintaining rubbish free facilities.

  4. Snakes like places to hide and nest, so keep your yard as debris free and trimmed as possible and plug or screen any access points that you can and keep your lawn mowed frequently as well. Snakes will be looking for food, so get rid of any vermin like rats and mice.

  5. If vaping is deemed dangerous and therefore illegal in order to protect people from themselves then driving in Thailand should be illegal for all because more people are killed or maimed on Thai roads than vaping will ever cause. Thailand refuses to properly address the horrendous road statistics and instead constantly picks "low fruit" like vaping in order to keep attention away from real issues.

     

    Likewise pollution in Thailand is a bigger risk to people than vaping. I don't vape and I think that vaping is likely bad for people but it ranks lower than other risks in LOS.

    A lot of the homeless people in Thailand seem to be homeless with associated mental illness or some kinds of schizophrenia. The fact that some of them are raving alcoholics may well be because of the hell that their life is everyday and alcohol is a very temporary escape. So this guy may have all sorts of issues going on, no just be drunk and doing dumb things but having manic or mental health issues.

    There are a few of these people near where I live and I see them every time I walk around my area and they are sometimes manic, sometimes appearing normal, sometimes drunk and their life is torturous. Some I have seen for the last 5 years and I have never seen any local authority try to help them. I give them money sometimes as do others but they are doomed to live out their life under a bridge or expressway overpass, so it's no wonder that they get drunk and messed up.
