This happened now.  Not 50 years ago.  That's why people have a problem with it.  People don't go around with their t*ts out anymore.

And the problem is what??? An abuse of public decency?? Every woman and most old men have large boobs!

[Commander of HTMS Chonburi transferred pending investigation]

Cleared the hang-up! if the barrel was at 45 degrees the projectiles might have landed in Pattaya?? 5555!

[Trump, advisers charged with Georgia election scheme]

Let's assume that DJT is found guilty of every charge and sent to prison for...X amount of years. Another GOP candidate rises up with a similar program! Will the DOJ, FBI, CIA and sundry others continue the legal process against any GOP or third party candidates?

 

Obviously, the DNC intends to rule forever, the minorities will be manipulated until there is an internal schism...then what? 

 

Everybody gets the result they deserved!!!

[Would you ever marry a bar girl? If so, why?]

I married a Saigon bar girl 54 years ago. At the time I encouraged many of my friends to do the same. I and they are mostly still married to the same women, all have children, grand children, homes and bank accounts...some have helped their wives bring family members over to Oz! Some marriages fail, after all they are between men and women, we're all human!

 

To judge all on the choices of the few that have failed is nonsense, remember, my friends and I married Vietnamese and Chinese women, they are not the same "culturally" as their Thai sisters? In every case, you take your chance? All of life is a gamble!

[Opinion Editorial: No, It Isn’t Time to Worry About RETIREMENT VISA Changes….Yet]

So... none of you retirees are thinking that the photo requirements added to "copies of your home bank statement showing your income " for the last 12 months, so that they can see how you pay your B 65K a month into your Thai bank account means nothing???

 

Can't you see the thin edge of the wedge? If "they" know what your real income is do you think "they" wont make it a percentage of that income a requirement for a RV?? 

[What Size Tumbler (Your-Favorite-Size) Helps Keep You HYDRATED During the HOT Season in Thailand?]

Doesn't the Law allow workers as young as 16 in Pattaya? It seems obvious that certain "licences" have not been obtained every month! Tsk tsk!

[Pattaya Traffic Police crackdown on Bolt drivers]

Why don't the Bolt drivers get licences, it's just laziness or are all of the cars owned by one entity??

It sounds like she's happy. 

Many cultures allow even younger women to enter into "relationships"! If she and her friends are happy then what is  the problem?? My wife of 54 years was told that she was too old at 17 to get a reasonable husband (Northern Vietnam) and was forced to marry at 18 to an Officer who had been serving overseas (spoiled goods) and was told that it was her last chance! Ignore the "blue noses"!

[In Your Opinion: What's the best place for living in Thailand?]

[Cheap Second Hand Books]

Thank you very much for this information, I often visit from up country and 2nd hand books are my favourite shopping task! If you know any more please don't hesitate to PM me!!

[How did you meet your wife? First words?]

I met the first wife in the Lido bar in Saigon in 1967, 32 years later I had to make a change. In 1999 I met my friends secretary in bangkok, 21 years later we're still together...even tho I didn't divorce my first wife!  Both are loving women and great cooks, 3 children with the first, none with the second. I wouldn't change a second of my life!!

[Fines of up to 20,000 baht now in place for not wearing a face mask]

I wear my mask every day... I hook one end around one ear put it on my head and then hook the other end around my other ear...it makes a good sun hat when I'm out walking!

[Pool evaporation rate?]

In Oz we allowed 12mm per day no matter how large the storage or how deep! It adds up to a lot of water...that's why we have "pool covers"!

That's a bit of a <deleted>! See my point?

 

What? "<deleted>" would have to be one of the most used expletives in the English language! In Oz they even have an award winning car advert that used the word "<deleted>!" exclusively!

[Drunken Phuket police officer shoots noodle vendor on Bangla Rd]

It was just an accident! Cpl Plod was just emphasising his desire to enter the club when the "stupid" noodle seller walked into the bullet. The noodle sellers stupidity was further suggested when after being politely asked to stand up, to show he wasn't hurt, the man insisted he was in fact hurt! The Cpl then punished the man for lying! Nothing to report here?

 

The Noodle seller had obviously been shot before he came to the club and conspired with the guards to get the Cpl into trouble! 

 

Clearly the Cpl was "tired and emotional" from the stress of long hours and overwork protecting the citizens of Phuket!
