don't think Japanese culture has any correlation with Thai culture, so pointless comparison. The ban on social media has close to 88% support from the general public. That figure also includes kids under 16 who are affected by the ban. So much for Australia being "authoritarian". 😂 Dictators do what they want to do, whereas democratically elected governments do what the people want to see done. As for your opinion regarding the correlation between Japanese and Thai culture, how could you possibly know if you haven't spent a lot of time in Japan?? You are trying to make a point by relying on an uneducated guess. There is a huge correlation between the 2 cultures -and Buddhist cultures in general share lots in common. But all you can compare is your 1 Western culture with 1 asian culture - and your formative years were in the Western one. So you are commenting on a subject you know nothing about.

I'm not looking for love. We all look for certain criteria when searching for a guy to have sex with, and for me a handsome face is essential. It's the same with hetero guys who want to fuck a beautiful young woman, not some ugly old pro. Looking at a beautiful masculine or cute face of your partner while having sex - and especially watching him cum- is priceless. Some of us are willing to pay for that. As for guys on the game in Thailand making a fortune, my 2 regular 'companions' have done very well indeed; the one in Bangkok has a huge cattle farm and an orchard. He now has a rich Thai sponsor. My Pattaya friend is also enjoying a very nice standard of living. But from my experience, these 2 guys are exceptions. They have at least a couple of things in common - they don't party, they don't drink or do drugs and they save a lot of their money. Those who become truly rich from their 'assets' are few and far between. Babe from Moonlight is probably one of them.

I moved to Japan as a child, was educated at Japanese schools and university and spent my entire working life in Tokyo. The street I live in is in a shit country called Australia.

It's a first world comment because I have lived my entire life in the first world, so no surprise there. I was simply stating the bleeding obvious. I was not starting a pissing contest. And there are many people in my own street (!), let alone all of Thailand, with a lot more money than me.

I'm sorry, but I don't get the point you are making. I don't care what that rich Thai guy does. Being familiar with Asian culture, it comes as no surprise that he only pays 500 baht. His money, his life, his culture.

"they have to get used to our smells." I don't think they are referring to stinky armpits. It's more likely to be the smell of our skin due to our different diets. So to me,some guys in Asia smell of fish sauce and to them, some farang smell of dairy products like milk. As for the Asian gene, I think that is true because even in the heat of summer there is no BO smell on crowded trains and buses, unlike say, the metro in Paris which positively stinks.

Those tourist attractions are now in Japan, not China! Can you imagine what is like to walk around Tokyo or Kyoto and never hear Japanese being spoken? So maybe it's a good idea to visit China afterall!

I have no problem paying more than the locals because I have a lot more money than them. To me, it's not the cost I worry about; it's whether I think I'm getting value for money. So I don't care what the locals pay - compared to the price the guys in Australia and Europe charge, I'm getting great value for money, whilst associating with nice, honest and friendly guys. And lifting their standard of living at the same time! 😂

If anyone needed further proof that Emmetk is trolling the board, surely this is it!

"Why would Dementia Joe attend the inauguration of a man he called Hitler? " I guess you could ask Vance the same question.

I usually focus more on 'yari-zome' - first fuck of the year in Japan.

Don't forget that many Vietnamese guys are very well hung!

Because of my gaijin (farang) face, nobody in Japan thought I could understand Japanese so I heard a few comments about me on the train (usually late at night) about gaijin having big cocks! Lol When travelling in Europe I often latch on to Japanese language tours. The only time I got caught out was when the tour guide told a joke and I laughed. I wish I could speak Thai because I'd love to know if the guys are saying something -good or bad -about me.

In my experience, the guys have never turned to me and criticised a customer sitting in the bar. However, they have told me of various unhappy experiences they've had over the years with farang.

No action, as I spent most of my time in Macau.

The boys handed in what must seem a fortune to them. I hope they are suitable rewarded. On a few occasions I've mistakenly handed over a 1000 baht note instead of a smaller denomination, often because it's too dark to see properly. I always let them keep the money as I think honesty should be rewarded. I like to think that the vast majority of people are honest. I hope that's true.

Methanol is also mixed with alcohol in Bali. Last year a young guy went blind after drinking at a bar on a beach.

Circle in a circle usually means 'ok'.

There is nothing on their website mentioning 10,000 yen fee for foreigners unable to speak Japanese.

Me, too. Unfortunately, he's standing too close to the piano, if you get my drift!

Rob, if you go back to Space Bar again, can you please ask how the handsome young guy who was a candidate in the Mr Cambodia competition fared? Unfortunately, I don't think he won but it's hard to get info about the competition on the internet.

I'd like to think that those who voted from him are simply deluded - or just plain simple. They believe that Trump actually cares about them but it reality he couldn't give a shit about those who voted for him - most of whom he considers losers. And they obviously believe that Trump would hang out with them in real life. Just wait until another pandemic comes and they are denied access to vaccines. Or until tariffs are applied to foreign goods and prices rise, along with inflation. The most frightening thing is all is watching him choose his administration from a motely bunch of characters whose only qualification for the job is their loyalty to Trump, rather than to the constitution. I mean, what other country would appoint a TV presenter as Secretary of Defence and put him in charge of a trillion dollar budget? The guy hasn't run anything in his life.

They are probably hoping you'll round it up to 600 and say 'keep the change'.
