Re: How can Thailand curb its appalling road fatality rate?

I think whats needed to be done is to get stricter on the driver's permit. And why not drive cars that are eco-efficient? So many times i see somebody take a dangerous U-turn while not really looking to the side or behind them. As if through thin air or magic, or something like that would pull them ...

Re: Getting a Thai Girlfriend

You know, I did pick up the trend ever so slightly during my most recently stay in Bangkok. Skimpy, with a touch of class. I guess it cannot be helped. It's so hot here during the day with the consequence that whatever you wear is going to sweat through after just about fifteen minutes out of the sh...

Re: Do you ever feel not farang?

There certainly are moments i feel more farang than others. The problem being not the feeling of being farang in and on itself... What i mean by this is that whatever you do, or wherever you go outside the wider state areas, you are going to be immediately looked funny at. It cannot be helped. Even ...

Re: Why do so many Thais look down on tourist / foreigners?

The real reason is probably because of the way the whole Thai nation suddenly and quickly industrialized, at the onset of a burgeoning tourist influx. Not ideal and not a primary issue.

Re: Getting a Thai Girlfriend

Well excuse my french, but I have truthfully never came across anything of similar order.
Yes, quite the opposite. If anything I would "buy" or win over her heart. But renting doesn't sound too bad.

Re: Getting a Thai Girlfriend

Rent?

I have never heard of this before...
How would i supposedly go about, "renting" a prospect?

Re: Getting a Thai Girlfriend

What commitments?

I understand it this way: If you marry a woman you pay a certain dowry to the family of the bride.
But that's too far off in the future. I am not getting married, only for friendship, feelings and sex, at first. If things work out then maybe you get married again.

Re: Getting a Thai Girlfriend

When you find a good one you will feel it.


Good in what way? Everything is good in one way or another.
Your talking is incoherent.

Eating healthy

So i have been thinking... and you know, i am wondering how healthy it is to eat out every other day. I gained a lot of weight here at home this year. I've been following the atkins diet pretty closely, to stabilize the glucose and cholesterol levels throughout my body. My doctor was pretty strict o...

Getting a Thai Girlfriend

All this talk about love, valentine's, and girlfriends, has made me all fluttery and light-headed. Is there any proven way of getting and keeping a Thai girlfriend? I come from a pretty rough break up relationship with my wife for well over 20 years. Me and her did everything together, from rearing ...

Re: Why do expats settle for horrible relationships with Thai girls who hate them?

I would like to point out that not all foreigners are absolutely horrible when it comes to relationships. Some settle for the emotional gifts of the female and put a lot of weight on how well you go together -- putting aside the glamour gained from walking a breathtakingly beautiful Thai girl down t...
