I could not figure out why I had not seen this batch of photos before. It has just dawned on me. I was in Pattaya at the time these photos were taken, and had just spent some time with Ammy. The first one, of Ammy, has her thinking,"I wish I was with him on Koh Larn like we were 3 nights ago".

Haha.

Put your tongue back in your mouth lol. Soon u will be back ha ha

When I was in there 4 months ago.. it looked empty at the start of high season. A lot of bars, hotels and buildings were for sale.

Pattaya was a ghost town.. you could fit all the mongers in Pattaya into the etihad and still have the entire upper level and maybe more empty!

Bit like for a melb club vrs freo 5555

Well at least you get the sexy part. They just call out 'papa' to me now. I'm 65 and it started about two years ago.

Lol I get papa falang I am a young 62 

i quite agree,but it would be the average thai that would suffer . the ultra rich have enough cush they have built up to ride it out. then when the baht goes down they will cash in on the foreign stash .

Thailand has one of the higher suicide rates in the world. World Health Organisation figures for 2016 put Thailand at #43 with 12.9 suicides per 100,000 people.

US was higher at #34 with 13.7 per 100k - I'd guess that has something to do with easy access to guns.

UK was #109 with 7.6 per 100k.

Of course often suicides aren't recorded as such because of social stigma, and in less developed countries because of lack of accurate recording.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_suicide_rate

A bit like the road  deaths. It’s only counted if you dia at the scene. Get you in the ambulance or die later nup not a road death. I think you could add on at least 50%. What are they up to I think it’s around 1500 1st week into feb.

I just googled Thai mental health. It seems that despite our conception of a happy society because of the smiles, Thais have a similar proportion of mental health problems to Western society, around 20% experiencing mh issues.

But there is a greater stigma in Thai society, and generally in Asia, to admit to having mental problems, and also fear of incurring costs for treatment.

In japan they make no effort to help disabled people. Eg wheel chair access . They just keep them at home. Asia has a obligation to look after the old and infirm but it’s all an elusion. They had a poll and Thai people were the happiest in the world. Eg elusion. When are we all going to realise we are all homo sapien . We are all the same inside . What is the answer I don’t know,  but finding differences amongst ourselves is not the answer. A rant yes, pissing in the wind yes. It’s a bit depressing maybe I am joining the 20% . But not today .

its not a healthy city is it. for your mind i mean .

By the fact that my relationship may be on the path to recovery I will abstain from making judgement on the above photos, except to say there are a couple of hotties amongst them!.

Stooly has told me I must refrain from looking in other directions. Just straight ahead!!!.

just follow your compass/ straight up true north 

Don’t forget the big kickass water tank

Lol got that exact sequences of questions from one of the girls when we popped into Sweethearts the other night. And the third question was of course.......you buy me drink...  Actually I was a bit surprised in a place run by Jimbo as it seldom happened/happens in TJs.  
 

Like you guys I can get by on the basics on 500 to 600 a day, and that includes food for my other half.  But of course there are always the unexpected budget stretchers, usually on the missus side,  for as soon as she is feeling anyway unwell it’s straight to Boots for a mini cabinet of medicines.  
 

Two or three time’s a week I’ll head out to a bar with some of you gents and let my hair down to some extent,  nothing too extreme these days mind.  I’m only here for 3 months at a time, and not here to save money so if the itch to go out is there then of course I’ll scratch it, but as long as I can avoid lady drinks it works out okay.

 

yes what is it with the hypochondriac thai girls. mine is off to the clinic for a 4 hr wait with the slightest headache or stomach ache. i ask WHY, i want to live long life she says . the funny thing is they all give out paracetamol for everything .

good luck. sometimes its just about timing . something clicks in their head and its time to settle . check out the family and village. its an old chestnut but a good upbringing goes a long way. if there greedy then she will probably be too.
