Water crisis in Koh Samui
I have friends in Cape Town and Johannesburg that have similar water supple problems. It is driven by 3 factors: 1) less rain in south africa in general 2) much larger demand due to increasing middle class 3) lack of investment in infrastructure. These are solvable problems if you make the effort.

Thailand tax changes
It is always best to consult with an actual professional that knows the topic. My Certified Public Accountant knows more about double tax agreements and tax resident status than I would ever care to approach. I pay her a reasonable feel for a consultation every year where I get the right advice aimed at my circumstances. It's hard to beat.

Something Is Happening in China: We Don't Know Yet What
I suspect the heavy handed way Xi was able to control the country, completely and utterly, during Covid has awaken imperial desires. But that is just me, after too much morning coffee. ๐ซฃ

Summer in Bangkok, another trip report this year
Thank you! I have been hesitant to try Arena. Their website is down and as far as I know they don't have a Line account, so unlike Jey and Climax I don't know which fine gentleman are available on a specific day.

Biden to sign strategic partnership deal with Vietnam
Oh, don't forget, former president Trump is not the only (Republican) president that got a little too close to Putin, for comfort. Remember in 2001 when former president Bush met with him? โI looked the man in the eye. I found him to be very straightforward and trustworthy,โ Bush said. โI was able to get a sense of his soul.โ

Is Indicting Trump A Good Idea?
Wow. Racist. Sexism. With just a dash of paranoia and elitism to flavor the bile.

Gay farangs living on the breadline
Why would you assume that? At least here in the USA, the older generation had company or government funded pensions, retirement health care and social security. The current generation no longer has company pensions, health care, they had to fund their own retirement savings (401k plans or IRAs) during their working loves and many failed to do so. Today's retirees may very well be far less well off than previous generations and it is likely to get worse as social security gets into deeper trouble. Can't speak for other countries tho.

Biden to sign strategic partnership deal with Vietnam
And the British should apologize to India and South Africa, the Chinese should apologize to the Russians and Tibet and and and... How far do we go back? I'd rather see leaders learn from history than live in the past.

Why do older guys think that young guys do not want sex with them?
We all have our preferences. That should surprise no one. The bigger problem, in my opinion, is the intolerance of other people's preferences. Of course there are preferences that can be harmful and we need to be aware of that, but between consenting adults...you do you. Older guys are very much aware that there are younger guys who enjoy their company, wisdom and experience. Do some find it strange? Sure. Just like I find pineapple on a pizza strange. But I don't let it bother me.

Maybe, but I don't want to be around when the authorities decide to raid the place. And heaven forbid they find me in a...compromising position! ๐

I hope he keeps posting. You just know at some point the judges in his cases (note: plural!), will get tired of his interference, and send him to the pokey! Would also like to be there when they take his mug shot. Can I please, please, please be the one to tell him to wash the makeup from his face so we can see the Real Donald??

RJ Cigano's lounge
My only concern would be that under age boys would slip in since it is free for the boys. Is there a man at the door who checks or do you ask for ID before you get too friendly?

Thank you - I find the idea of checking out the guys while they play snooker in towels, which one would hope would slip from time to time - rather appealing! ๐คญ

How To Locate Lost Travel Bags

How To Locate Lost Travel Bags
That is fascinating. But my understanding is that it depends on apple devices to be close by to detect/transmit the tag's location via Bluetooth. So if the bag is left someplace where no Apple device is within 30 ft or so, it will go undetected. There are locations where Apple devices are just not that common. For example, on a recent trip to India I found that the vast majority of people use Samsung/Android devices as Apple devices are far too expensive for them to afford. In that case, an android based device like Tile trackers may work better.
