You just have to be realistic and dont try to pretend your a hugh heffner and go showing off your young bit of skirt to your old mates hehehehehe

Sorry to contradict Sherpa, but in the last year I've seen probably half a dozen 50ish western ladies with Thai guys a good 20 years younger than them - it's not all one-way traffic here. The last couple I saw a week ago in Tescos.

Right, got to go now, off to the supermarket

Seriously, like everywhere, there's good gals, bad gals, educated gals, uneducated gals - even here on Phuket. I chat with girls on both sides of the bar - though you don't get too much of a scintillating conversation with some of the ones behind the bar, but some of the older guys need an ego-feed and go ga-ga over them (up to them really). The other side of the bar, you can find what I would call normal Thai women - business owners, educated workers. It's like anywhere really - just a bit top heavy on the uneducated ones unfortunately.

Anyway, we're getting right off topic again. And where the hell's Legless - he's not on a visa run is he?

This is not on my website, this is on the publishers website 'Readlead press' and in two years I have received nothing from them they just tell me that there has been no sales, so maybe they are a scam!

I was out yesterday buying my train ticket for Laos and I ran into some friends that I haven't seen for 3 months because I haven't had the money to go out for a long time. So they just supplied me with beers all night

I am leaving for Laos tomorrow so I shall not be posting for about 4 days after today

Kooky.

Safe travels, Legless.

I consider myself a fool because it has happened more than once with me, so I do blame myself for letting it happen and not being more observant. FYI I am still married to the first person that cheated me, we have been married for 23 years and separated for 20 years, but if I want a divorce then it is going to cost me - Thai women!!!

Thanks seasider, I like Laos, anywhere is better than Thailand.

The best way to get to know people properly in any country is to have a good knowledge of their language and pretend that you don’t understand it and just listen to conversations. That is exactly what I now do in Thailand and I have learned a lot about these people!!!

We are digressing away from the main point of this thread now, so would anyone like to know anything about Penang before I go to Vientiane?

Then why not move there (even if only a temporary move)? It's very cheap I hear, so you'd save money faster

Cannot really understand, if you genuinely hate this country so much, why you are staying.

leglessfool

I call it 'the financial trap', I just have enough money to survive and go for a visa as required, I do not have enough money for anything else, including moving. Everything that I own in the world is in my room in Bangkok and even though it is not a lot, just computer and clothes, it will cost me to move it.

Sherpa

Legs why do you just live in a room in bkk ? is it like a bedsit ? i dont understand your position could you elaborate it sounds interesting

leglessfool

It is like a bedsit and I live here because this is the cheapest that I can find, I even cook in it. There are no other foreigners around here, I am the only one, so I just stay in my room and work on my computer and websites, a recluse!

Sherpa

Why dont you go back to the UK and live and be with friends and family ?

leglessfool

I don't have any friends and family in the UK and I don't have the money to go back there even if I wanted to, the financial trap.
