  1. As an (ex) tourist who has been extorted by the Immigration supervisor at HKT, do what I do... don't go to Thailand.

     

    Right now I'm in Cambodia at the end of almost two months spending the money I would have in Khao Lak. I should have done this a few years ago. Resorts are a comparable price for the quality. The big thing is Cambodians seem to actually want foreigners; plus, beer is 50 cents (330 ml) and smokes are 80 cents a pack - Winston Lights  (better than the 'shit' Winstons made in Malaysia that are sold in Thailand).

    Nice post...

    Except.....

    Cambodia is a steaming shit hole! Fantastic for crack smoking back packers though! And ageing hippy 20 cones a day expats. Police are nowhere to be seen, it's the junkie capitol of Asia

    It's no wonder people are knocking themselves out trying to stay in Thailand.

  2. 1. The ocean isn't that interesting.  Once your boat gets far enough away from land where all you can see is water, it's boring.  Doesn't matter where in the world, it will look identical.
     
    2. The only interesting place to be on a boat is next to land.  With people.  And restaurants, bars, shopping.
     
    Conclusion: A boat is a tool to travel to places on land.  Why not just stay on land and visit these SAME EXACT PLACES. Cheaper, easier and more convenient. [emoji3]

    Your post cracked me up lol. In a sense it's true but you make it sound like catching a train.

    Taking on the world's oceans and.. Well catching a train..

  3. Sleeping on deck was great though wasn't it? On my motor yacht there was an upper deck. That got nicknamed The Sea Breeze Suite.

    Fantastic actually. We hired a 40 foot cat around the Whitsunday Islands in oz. Sleeping under the stars after drinking wine and gorging on freshly caught tuna was magic [emoji4] but we had deck space to spare OP is talking smallish

  4. ... unless you have a sizeable fortune, stay on land... Fees, repair, and the coziness of your own comfort... will get old.. really have to want this...

    Agreed. And what really put me off was the the relentless humidity. OK above deck during the day if your moving but at night below deck is an oven.

  5. Is the idea of owning and living on a small 2 or 3 berth motor cruiser feasible ?  The thought of anchoring up and spending time at different beach towns or villages and moving on when when you want a change does appeal . Are there any guys out there that are already doing this ? If so what are the requirements by Thai laws regarding licences and navigational quals ?

    I imagine it would not be any different regarding visas. However If you are not a seasoned boatie then why not go to phuket yacht hire and choose a vessel. I came very close to buying a diesel cruiser myself but life got in the way again.

    Look into Berthing fees as they will be your biggest expense

    Regarding licence you just need a standard boat license since that's what yachties use to sail around the world including Thailand

    Yeah 30% duty and 7% VAT is the going rate for footwear, next time check the customs website.

    I nearly did it last week as I'm the same size but went to the big sports store central festival Pattaya 2nd floor and there were a few size 13 and at 50% discount, I guess they have trouble getting rid of them, but saved myself many thousand baht

  7. Topps also has a deli-like-store who probably will have it. It's also called Topps though.
     
    When i like a product a lot i go back next day and buy as much as i can use before it expires. That's the only way to be sure.
     



    That's exactly the reason why it gets wiped out so quickly.

  8. Without an income it's highly unlikely you would get a bean from a bank. They are not into repossessing condos from failed loans. They are into interest. So they absolutely need to see you have the capacity to pay the loan back.
    It's never a good idea to refinance anyway unless you are completely desperate

    I find this rather amusing. How much luck would Harry the hump have finding a willing flavor of the day that looks like her in his home country? This is the kind of experience that builds lasting dreams. Harry is likely a lot smarter than you think. He really doesn't remember the girl friend experience but he fondly remembers what she looks like laying naked on the white bed sheets with her shiny long black hair spread across the pillow.
     
    I'm sure that Harry could not possibly care less what you think.

    That's the point, no lucky required. The gf experience is designed to get harry balls deep into a long term money extraction fiasco and that will be a gf experience that harry the hump will never forget!
    But of course you were to smart for that it's just the harries that are stupid! Lol

    If you are practicing-Catholic and want your children raised as such, and/or if you want to find a gal to bring back to the USA with you, then the Philippines is a good choice.   That is based on my time there, where all gals I met saw me as a ticket to "the promised land" USA - which was the inverse of my perspective.  But be aware, after a year or two in the USA, she will likely not be the woman you met and married.

    Good post. Becoming Americanised is the down fall of many marriages and a good reason to stay in Asia if possible. Once they start making Western girlfriends then the traditional Asian female quality can fly out the door

  11. Condoms prevent genital herpes too. If he was not using one he was indeed foolish. 
    The pill is not guaranteed to prevent pregnancy, and the only way to be sure is to always use a condom. Unless one actually wants children.

    TBL we have had a few boxing matches on the boards, no big deal but please come out and say you and your partner are swingers . It would all make much more sense

  12. I always laugh when I see the sucker guy buying roses for them because he thinks they will impress the girl, but no Thai woman I ever met has a gene for romance.
     
    I feel sorry for you that you have apparently never slept with a BG that is attractive enough that you'd like to do it again with her after you wake up in the morning.

    There you go again bragging about your hookers. You have serious self esteem issues.
    I say it again slowly .. It takes zero talent to pull a pretty hooker. Stop falling for the your to handsome trick lol

  13. Is it really a big deal if she sleeps with other men? It's not like it only last 25 times and then she has to become a nun. Trust me, I know that it doesn't "wear out".

    Do you feel that you "own" whatever woman you are going with at any particular time, and she has to be "faithful" to you because you paid for her somehow?

    Is it because you believe in "looooove"? Perhaps you want to feel "special" and that she can't "loooove" you and someone else at the same time. Millions of women and men are having it off with other people's partners every day around the world, but the world doesn't end because of that.

    It was a big deal in the old days because men wanted to know they weren't passing on their property to someone else's genes. Now it is possible to prove such with science.

     

    I really feel that till humans can stop thinking they own another person we are not going to evolve.

    If someone loves a person so much that they never want to have sex with another, great.

    Whatever, it's just sex, not ascending to heaven.

     

    BTW, most men either are, or would like to be sluts. It's not just about women.

    Sure it's not a big deal until you catch your old uncle getting a 20 dollar BJ from your Thai wife in the toilet at the family BBQ!

  14. Calling them sluts definitely goes to your mind set, and it does not impress me. Bar girls are people too. Plenty of sluts back home, if that is what you consider anyone that has sex with more than one person. Plenty of sluts that have never worked in a barbeer wherever you come from.

    I have nothing against paying for sex it's a good hobby but I can't get them out of the room fast enough when it's done. However it's often tinged with sadness when I see harry the hump walking down soi buhkow firmly clutch the hand of a hooker while she is firmly clutching a dozen red roses in the other

    There are 2 thought processes going on at this point. One knows they have a new sponsor.. The other thinks she is the one
    That my friend is not a gf experience. Or maybe you never had a real girlfriend?

  15. You make it sound like they are crack whores doing it down a back alley behind a dumpster, like back in the west.
    Apparently you don't know that in LOS they are more like a GF that you pay in cash rather than paying for dinners and movies like the western girls want before doing the horizontal mamba.
    If I got to bang one of the lovelies that would do it with me in LOS, I'd be bragging about it too.

    A slut is a slut. I certainly wouldn't be bragging about a whore that did a gang bang with 5 Pakistanis before it was my turn. There is nothing remotely girl friendly about it!
