There is no rules who is good and bad girls in this world. There is amazing bar woman, who will give all they have and little bit more, and you have smart educated girls who will take all you have and a little bit more. The whole thing about who is good, and not is just pure stupid. All muslims is terrorists? Or have the potential to be one? 12 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Number 6 Posted February 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) It sort of happened. Was traveling here every cool season. Met my now wife, two years later, married. Until then a sworn bachelor. Came out of retirement. I've few regrets. My wife is gold although I am missing a bit of strange on the side. Second career in some ways better than first. Wish we had a nice condo with city view or next 7 years retire down south. Wife works, 20+k pm no expectations i support her. That was made clear until I was willing to pull her from her current job. Even after I'd still expect her to PT just to get her out of the house. It is too expensive and no way I'm bringing in funds to buy a condo at these prices and with these x rates. Wife's family in BKK. Poor but never a request for money. I give them about 10k a year and pau three bottles of bourbon. I pay a lot of our expenses so wife is free to give what she wants.

Popular Post melvinmelvin Posted February 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2019 would not do it again when I moved here full time, 10+ years ago, I picked Thailand out of laziness Had visited Thailand at least 100 times during the preceding 25+ years on biz trips could speak a bit Thai - knew Bangkok in and out, had a few Thai acquaintances wanted somewhere warm - wanted somewhere low cost picked LoS because I couldn't be bothered to think through alternatives properly don't regret it but with some hindsight (the only true wisdom) I think PI or somewhere in southern Europe would have suited me better am quite comfortable here though 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post holy cow cm Posted February 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2019 If they would stop raising the immigration bar level on a quarterly whim thus letting all of us relax having a peace of mind knowing everything is solid with no new hurdles to jump over (and hopefully make it), then for me happy camper with my family. The last 4-5 years have been a lot of uncertainty, and if that bar is raised even 1-2-3 more times, then it will be quite difficult for most to be happy here. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people remember it and the promises that the current PM made too. You know the usual ones like there will be an election in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and the latest delayed one in 2019. Or the ones about reforming the RTP, ending corruption etc. Giving themselves an amnesty for ALL past present and future deeds. Clamping down on free speech and the right to protest and have an assembly of more than 5 people who could discuss politics. Of course if things like that don't bother you, they do bother a lot of Thais, then carry on supporting the junta. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildBillHiccup Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 These polls seem to pop up on a regular basis - at least one a week - to what end? Here's a question: When all of the information has been collated to what purpose will it serve? Also what do you do with all of this information that you have gleaned? Who amongst us regular readers remembers this gem from earlier on this year? "Have you ever done 'stuff' with a LadyBoy?" 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
