Sometimes nothing beats a McDs for a late night snack.

are the street stalls safe to eat? i've got a weak stomach and the last thing i'd want is food poisoning. 

I am always fine with cooked food.

Rarely I'll have some trouble with salad, like fresh salad rolls from a market.

I don't think they wash the veg.

Anyways - TLDR is "are there any SEA countries that let you stay < 6 months on a cheapo visa"?

To answer your question,  I am guessing Cambodia, but I don't really know, haha

In your shoes, I'd consider getting a student visa for 4 years til you turn 50, then get retirement. 

You probably wouldn't need to study that much.

Learn some Thai. Or learn Thai boxing, instead.

Or you could do a bachelor's degree in something, like I did, and study with all the cute 18-21 year old university chicks. 😄 That has its perks.

If I understand correctly, the reason you don’t want to stay in Thailand full time is because it'll become your tax residence?

That would mean your incoming deposits would be taxed here (unless already taxed by a country that has a tax treaty with Thailand, then no tax here).

As you already said, flights and hotels are expensive and not fun. I'd weigh that up against how much tax you'd pay the Thai government. 

But if your income/investment has already been taxed by a country with a tax treaty with Thailand, then no need to pay tax again here.

Thai tax is so little. I pay 4% on my salary.

I had food at the biryani place on Soi 11/1 in the small hours before. 

Not sure what time they close, but it was busy with lot of Indians when we arrived after midnight.

We left at about 1am and it was still busy

Something different today, the Beerhouse Special at the Old German Beerhouse on 13. Poached egg, cheese, cold cuts, fresh breads with butter and jam, orange juice, with a pot of either coffee or tea. 310 baht

 

That looks great 👍 

Not typical breakfast food, but this is what I had for breakfast today.

Depends what you are looking for.

The regular massage scene hasn't changed, nor BJ bars (in terms of prices).

gogo bars, I think, are pricier compared with 8 years ago.

There are a lot more Japanese orientated fuck shops around Phrom Phong.

A lot of women have moved online,  especially younger ones.

Most regular hookers are asking for 2k (some 3k) for ST now, but quickly drop to the usual 1500. You won't get much for 1000 now, but it can still be found.

I think the GoGo hookers 3-4k now

Out of curiosity what do you do? I've considered the move myself but my brain would melt under the weight of poon.

Haha

I have found that I have eventually (almost) burned out on "the poon."

Until I moved to Thailand, it was just a modest amount. Since I arrived in Bangkok 5 years ago, I literally have no idea now. Lost count (not that am was counting).

Yeah, same.

15 years here and I can only estimate the figure

Just as the title asks: how many women (or Ladyboys or whatever) have you had sex with?

Any sex act counts.

About 3 days after the night, I started getting a cold with a mild cough. No fever but been on antibiotics since then. Hopefully its not related as I dont have any other STD symptoms.

A cough isn't an STD symptom anyway.

Was it a dry cough or productive cough? Did a doctor put you in antibiotics?

Red Lion is fine.

O Sheas is my favourite though

3. Explore the Old Town and its attractions, daytime

4. Go to China Town at night

5. Go on a tuk tuk (I suppose)

6. Go down the Chao Praya River 

7. Take the canal boats somewhere 

8. Get a Thai massage 

9. Of course, eat local foods

10. See the Muay Thai

Dum Handi Biryani on Soi 11/1. It's divine.

I just tried it and it was amazing 

I may have converted from being a bread n' curry guy to being a biryani guy. It was that good.

Smothered in saeurkraut 
Reuben sandwich

I can't keep up with the BKK shorthand. Sounds good though. 😉

It was pretty good

Most of the Irish bars in Bangkok are your standard fare. BS seems to have better quality products and more stuff cooked from scratch rather than just microwaved. They do a very good breakfast and the fresh sausage rolls are lovely.

I'll have to  give it a try

For western food on Soi 4, the Blarney Stone is the best option by a long way.

Interesting,

What makes it better than Fitzgeralds?

Did you use a condom?

I had a Bratwurst there this week on St Paddy's Day, smothered in sauerkraut.

 

 

Food is great there. 

I've been meaning to go back for a reuben sandwich

I go to Mahmoud Shawarma Soi 3/1

This is my "go to" meal.

Their falafel rockets are also good

Thaifriendly is still mostly freelancers.

The Internet has totally opened up sex work to so many different types of women - like office workers and even teachers - who would never sit in a girly bar or stand on the street corner, but now they can sell their pussy online more discretely.

Fascinating insight into females here.

I have been spending too much time going through all of their profiles and have decided to limit my search to 18-20 year olds only because it's not as easy to find those gems down Sukhumvit, so it makes better use of my time.

Why spend hours and hours searching for and chatting to chubby 30-40 year olds online when they are so overrepresented in the massage parlors and bars?

I'd 2nd The Red Lion.

O' Shea's 'build your own' 7 item breakfast with tea/coffee for 199 is also great value. I find the quality of the food and the way it's cooked to be of a higher standard.
