    Last time I was in England (I think maybe 2008?) I was there for 3 weeks and in all that time I saw just one girl who I would class as 'doable' on first impression (purely on looks, I didn't actually know her).  She was something like half my age(ish) so unobtanium there.  I'd also be frowned upon as a kiddie fiddler (she was probably University age or something).  Here there's a different system.  My wife is 33 and I'm 49 and that's seen as okay.  In England the curtains would be twitching.

     

    She's about 3Kg over her own preferred weight.  I'm thinking 'f**********k' that's 20Kg less than you'd be if you came from where I came from.

    im about your age and dont see half that as diddling fiddler, but sometimes it do present as an 'all in the family' type scenario

    From my perch on the tree of age at almost 80 I look back at 63 and wonder how I had so much sex.  If I hadn't taken photos I wouldn't remember it at all.  The women in Thailand 20 years ago really were better looking and  oh so much more available.  Back then you'd get spec sex.  That's like trying out cheese or salami at the deli before you buy.  Them were the days.  Sorry you will never experience them. 

    can you talk about the future rather then the past all the time?

    This is the funniest post I have read in along time. Some people watch professional sports.  I prefer professional sex and I do not intend to have any more kids. Some women are better than others and some pros will rock your world.  I am not dead yet as I get close to 60 and look forward to sex more than food or sports.  

     

    Also  Impossible to get pregnant when you are playing the violin and she is playing the trumbone. 55555?

    i'm not quite there yet but can see myself not needing much sex at 63.

     

    the guy traveling around on the motorcycle on a heavy month long sex binge sounds like he's having some sort of delayed mid life crisis to me.

    Nancy, you should consider expanding your horizons. Golf is one of the best sports ever invented - can be played by all ages. It's even recommended by doctors as exercise for cardiac patients.  Certainly not a problem for me, I've been playing it competitively for over 60 years.

    It's curious you should say golf is not of great interest to Western women. There's a sizeable group of Thai and Japanese women at my golf club, fiercely competitive and a couple of the younger ones are seriously good golfers.

    I guess our priorities are different - hanging out at a hair and nail salon holds no interest for me either. I don't have much hair on my head, and I can keep my nails trimmed all by myself. All of the other things except the cats are available close by, and my condo has a swimming pool. While I understand your love of cats - I've had a few in my life - I don't feel a need to be a servant at this stage of my life.

    one thing i dislike about golf is flabby breasts

     

    for this reason, i prefer competitive rowing

    OK, apology accepted, and thank you for further enlarging my education since I had to do a little Google study of the word "bogan".

     

    I hope my explanation of "older women being invisible" makes sense.  As one poster pointed out, it could be, too, because we don't hang out in the same places the average TV poster, too, so you don't see us.

     

    I thought about this thread today as I ate lunch in the little bistro in my condo building and counted over fifty resident expat ladies either eating lunch in the same restaurant, or walking by, either in and out of the condo or out on the street in front of the condo.  I know most of them and about half are here with partners, half here on their own.  To say we don't exist is a hoot.

    i lived in cm old city for five years and cant remember seeing this demographic at all

    First of all you are comparing Toronto to Chiang Mai? Seriously? 

     

    I also did say if you own your place, bud.

     

    Regardless, these sites are highly inaccurate as they assume local standard of living vs. Western standard of living.

     

    According to these very inaccurate sites, the average condo in Bangkok is a lot cheaper than Toronto, but of course they include a complete unlivable condos in their averages that even homeless people wouldn't be put  in Canada.

     

    Compare the price of condo in Ekkamai built by Cambodian slave labor vs a condo in downtown Toronto and Ekkamai will be more expensive.

     

    The only thing cheaper I find in Thailand is transportation, accommodation (not always true), the price of chicken and for some reason Ritter chocolate. Of course, local fruits will be cheaper too.

     

    Anyway, here's my budget for my first month in Toronto. I live right smack downtown. It's supposedly the most expensive city in Canada.

     

    Condo fees (includes electricity) $396

     

    Property tax $120

     

    Food for a single person. About 60% of the stuff is organic $700

     

    Unlimited 75mb internet $45

     

    Netflix $10.99 (oh, the selection here)

     

    No cell phone. It's a ripoff.

     

    Total $1272or 31,747 baht going by today's exchange rate.

     

    Cheap as chips.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    wheres your mortgage payment or rent?

     

    if you own your condo outright thats not cheaper, thats money you would have had otherwise if you lived in thailand without the canadian property.

     

    you also need to include the amount you could be making off that money if you had invested it, as a monthly expense.

    I used to like Yorkies Cumberland sausages because they reminded me of "home", then I came home and had proper Cumberland sausages and I wondered whatever was I thinking of by eating Yorkies. Ditto with cheese, mainland cheddar was the best I could find a ta reasonable price, now in the UK I buy a huge block of extra mature for next to nothing and there's no comparison - and so on and so on. And whilst having a rant on sausages....has anyone ever seen a sausage like Sloanes in the UK, I never have and I've looked hard, jesus.

     

    The point being that we seem to want to try and get our hands on western substitutes that often don't even come close, fish and chips in Thailand is a perfect example, mostly crap food compared to the real deal. We do that and we tell ourselves we're living a western lifestyle whereas in reality we're living a lifestyle that is a hybrid, eating food that probably wouldn't even sell in the UK - I think it's called existing and being out of touch. Personally, if that were me, I'd just dump the whole concept and I'd go native (diet) rather than try to fool myself.

    had some tex-mex (mexican) at a touristy place in siem reap cambodia

     

    it was so bad i couldnt believe it

     

    gave new meaning to the term "i got runs at the border"

    Medical insurance is a con. They take your premiums when your young and fit and then throw you on the scrap heap when you get older and might need to claim on it - another illusion of the American 'dream'. Thailand is becoming very expensive unless you live at the rock bottom - eating market food, drinking laew kao and living in a chicken shack. 

     

    I would try Vietnam, Ban Phe Dezza -  I was there in the Summer - Vung Tau a couple of hours South East of Saigon has a large expat Aussie community - mainly elderly, living out their remaining years with cheap Aussie and Vietnamese food, pretty girls who dont demand too much, amazingly cheap beer and very liberal visa policies. The only drawback that I found was that everyone smokes, which was  problem but if it ticks all the other boxes for you.....

    did u see any spitting or luigi slinging while u were there?

    So you are going to give limited mobility a miss!!

    What a crazy comment, maybe you will like me have no choice regarding that.

    If you are going to give limited mobility a miss, stay inside your home, never ever dare to go on the roads here, as doing so you could very easily lose your mobility, due to no fault of yours, but others.

    hi colin, 

    some things in life are unavoidable, and limited mobility is on my list.

  10. not sure why people are ripping on this dude that got scammed

     

    the one time i stepped foot into a karaoke in thailand they tried the same bs

     

    lived around the corner from one of these big karaokes in cm on chang klan road for years. still was afraid to go in. they seem to be immune from the usual protections you get in town as they are off the tourist track.

     

    the staff and girls are a different kind of animal, not typical thai. seemed to be chinese mafia types.

    Thanks for the post, can you tell me a bit about Spain? Been to Mexico many times but never Spain, I wonder about the food? Love Mexican food but Tappas...?

    mexico is a toilet unless your in a gringo ghetto enclave or a tourist destination like cabo or puerto vallarta where prices are comparable to the usa

     

    anything else in mexico is too dangerous and not managable for the average bloke.

     

    could not get laid for the life of me.

     

    went down there for six months, left after four. and i was used to places like cambodia and vietnam.

     

    say hi to the taco bell chiwawa dog if you pass through there.

    Personally, I have no alternative to Thailand, that comes even close. For me, Burma would be almost as bad as the Philippines. Never gonna happen. Really poor infrastructure, military is way worse than here, genocidal government, food not as good, difficult to travel, as most hotels in smaller cities will not and cannot accept foreigners as guests, etc, etc. Not even close. The PI sucks. The entire country feels like Tijuana. Food is some of the worst in the world, as the PI people do not have the culinary gene, like the Thai people. Security is horrendous. Always looking over your shoulder. The only reason to be in the PI is the women. And the english skills too. Been to Vietnam a few times. Find alot of the people there to be like cold fish. Just not appealing at all. 

     

    So, where else? If I was wealthy, I would probably spend four months of the year here, two months in the US, three months in Spain, and three months elsewhere, traveling around. 

    well you can get anything you want anywhere. in the end it all boils down to money.

     

    its not really a hard equation. if you cant decide the choice will even be made for you.

     

    shoot to high you will be forced down, shoot too low most people will move up.

     

    we can see this happening with expats running out of money and being pressured to move to other provinces or countries (like cambodia or isaan); and also with people who constantly complain but cant afford to move up to places like europe or more developed countries.

     

    so make the move, or just stay where you are. sooner or later somethings got to give and you find your level, or you jump off a balcony trying. welcome to hell.

  13. i followed up on one of these types of things in my younger days many years ago just out of curiosity. knew it was a scam but played along.

     

    it got to the stage where someone would meet me at the airport in person. i assumed it was a kidnap for ransom situation or some type of extortion.

     

    i emailed the paper trail to the fbi and thats the last i heard about it. this was in the usa.

    Now You are just cherry picking for the sake of argument. Toss out the tourists, leave Pattaya. And there you have a glittering Thailand of the Future.

    im thinking thailand is going to evolve into a brothel of sorts for the chinese

     

    thousands of men over there with small weiners who cant get off and when they do its rushed

     

    they are also really stressed out in a communist country and need to get off. eventually they may have much more then a lane at the airport perhaps with a special train connection or some type of easy mass transport system
