Hello, everybody. My name is Nattaporn. I am Thai and live in Bangkok. I'm looking for the person who want to learn Thai. I can teach you but you should teach me English too.

Hi everyone. I'm newbie here wanna know people and make new friends. I try to lean how to use this side. Nice to meet you guys!!

Hello! So to keep it short and according to the title, I am looking for a nice thai girl to spend time with when i visit Thailand in December. Perhaps might even be able to return with me to Europe if relevant! I am 29 years, work as a senior manager for a conglomerate and investment company based in Europe. I have myself lived in Asia for about 10 years, however just very recently moved back to Europe (Sweden) due to my grandmother not being well. However, getting rather bored of the single life, and just so happens I love thai girls. I am looking for a thai girl, younger than me for sure, and preferably with some kind of education and interested in spending time with me when i go to Thailand. If you want to know more, send me a message!

Bangkok is the 61st most expensive city to live in. Not too far behind NYC. http://blogs.wsj.com/chinarealtime/2014/03/04/shanghai-is-more-expensive-than-new-york/ I know people can eat for a buck or whatever and there are rooms you can rent for a few thousand baht per month but, really, when you look at western style accommodations and dining, this doesn't seem too far off.

Good morning Tfers!!!! it has been yearssssss!!!

I hope to visit Bankok and Pattaya during next month. Can someone point me to useful information for a fisrt time traveler to Thailand?

As long as they don't create separate bathrooms for all 50.

I'm pretty sure all women lower their standards to marry us :-)

Welcome back. How have you been?

Hi all. I enrolled onto this site because I'd like to find someone that is Fluent in Thai that would not mind helping me over Skype with my pronunciation and fluency. As I have just started an online class, but I figure it might be a while to find someone. I am of course willing to help any Thais that would like time to practice English as well or answer questions on grammar, spelling, slang, etc. Feel free to message me anytime, --Pitts

What are you doing... What have you been doing... What did you do... What will you do... on this HAPPY period? :wink:

Hey, that's where I live! *sent from my shiny 2nd hand laptop*

After a two-month test of high-tech cameras on two expressways just outside Bangkok, police this week have begun citing motorists caught speeding by the devices. Don’t go too fast on expressway | Bangkok Post: breakingnews

In my novel Thai Lies, exploring Thailand back in 1974 with my college classmate Mike, I didn’t get much of a chance to elaborate on his travel exploits into Bangkok’s night life. I had a Thai girlfriend so the only taste I got of its charms was from the stories he told. And he told a lot of them. Never mind that he was cast in a Thai movie – my girlfriend’s mom financed it – his off-screen antics were the real show. The trouble is, there is only one that, in good taste, I dare share… Back then foreigners were a rare commodity, especially English speaking ones that Thais could relate to with the odd remembered word from some forgotten GI. They’d follow you around, wanting to paw at your clothes or your high top sneakers. Kids followed you around like you were the Pied Piper. Strangers tugged at you on the streets to sit and eat with them. In a coffee shop, everyone stared. Add to that, Mike’s unprecedented status, and it wouldn’t be hard to imagine how he was eating it all up. Then there was that morning he woke up on some deserted beach, miles from the set. He didn’t remember how he got there. His pockets were empty. It was only because he had his actor’s pass around his neck written in Thai that a motorcycle jockey offered to waive his usual fare and give him a ride. Ragged with his hair tousled, he still got a round of applause when he finally showed up on the set. To the Thais, he was definitely a curiosity. His pantomime explanations alone would have rated him five star reviews. But now, for the first time, he was stuck. Payday wasn’t for another week, and he was broke. Not wanting to let on to anyone what had happened, he made excuses about being tired and wanting to get to bed early. Then the walls started to close in. The TV might as well have been static. Were all the channels in Thai? Did Thais do anything but cry for five minutes on these soap operas? And these lizards running across the ceiling, do they bite? And that damn music playing outside, who can sleep through such a racket? Finally, he gave up and went to walk around downstairs. Any place had to be better than this. Sitting just outside the hotel, he got an offer from a taxi driver that was too good to pass up. There were a lot of jewelry stores in town, offering commissions for brought in potential customers. Since Mike was already an actor maybe this would be right up his alley. He didn’t have to buy anything; just look around and act interested. Needless to say, that was what he did for the rest of the week. Every alley shop was another bottle of beer. Every avenue store was a glass of wine. By the end of the night, a midnight snack was the taxi driver’s treat. Come payday, with just one stop on the way, the ride was free. Well, he did do a few more really outrageous things in Thai Lies…

Hi. I'm from Vietnam. This is the first time Ive jointed in this kind of forum. I'd like to make friends with all people. Well, I really do not know how to start at first as a new comer.

I think that learning Thai language through Thai song is a good way as music can make you're relaxed. I'll try to find the nice Thai songs to post here. Enjoy learning and watching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvxDydk_rLs

I like to think that I am pretty much a live and let live kinda guy. Open minded yeah ready to embrace lifes rich diversity, for sure. But this is just taking it too far. I realise that Thailand and SE Asia allows men to practise and explore their own unique fashion style, and hey if Camel active wear, socks with sandels and Snoop Dogg style gold chains do it for you then all well and good. However I have noticed over the past few years a shocking resurgence of the speedo type of swim wear in particular with large Germanic men. Saturday morning lying by the pool snoozing off a few of last nights beverages, a large man in a bright green speedo placed himself directly in my line of vision, it was like a bad car wreck I tried to look away but my morning was already tainted. Anyway for you speedo wearers out there please do the following : 1.Put on Speedo and look in the mirror. 2.Really look!!! And for you speedo wearers out there I have one question, WHY????

As is customary on April 1st of each year many websites post fake products, news, or play a joke on their users. Found any good ones? Kodak Relationshiffft WSOP Adds New Event, Strip Poker Who's got some?

More bad news for Thais :-(

A guy sent PM to you saying nice things, you replied being friendly then you guys keep in touch, chat sometimes. Your freindship growing well, and you feeling got stronger expecting anything further than just friend...till you met in person. The conversation went on naturally on the day you guys first met like you have been friends for so long until he told you that he crushed on your (female) friend and kept talking about her all the rest of that night. What would you do ? Will this hurts you ?

I will be creating a t shirt for bangkok pool league. It will include logo of all teams or bar in the bangkok pool league. I already have the logo to most of the larger bar, but I need logo to the smaller one. Captains, please email them to me. BTW, Thailandfriends will also be featured in the T- shirt. Any other company thinking of sponsoring, please contact me.

Why women outlive men.? Women live three or five years longer than men on average in the world, according to the Office of National Statistics. But why?..Have you say ? with men being more reckless in their youth and women choosing a better diet and more exercise. But to fully understand why the fairer sex has a longer innings in life, we take a look at the differences between the sexes. 1.Women tend to have stronger hearts A woman's heart is just as strong at the age of 70 as it is at the age of 17 A study at the university's Research Unit for Human Development and Ageing found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 per cent between the ages of 18 and 70. Could this be the key to a lengthier life expectancy? 2.Women have two X chromosomes Tom Perls, founder of the New England Centenarian Study at Boston University believes that the key to longer life expectancy for women is in the genes. Where women have two X chromosomes, men have one and X and one Y chromosome which, according to Perls, makes men's cells more susceptible to ageing and damage. 3. Women may have more powerful immune systems Researchers at London?s Imperial College School of Medicine conducted a study of men and women aged 20 to 62 and found that the women produced more infection-fighting white blood cells (or T-cells) than their male counterparts. Researcher's discovered that the thymus gland, which produces T-cells, makes fewer cells as people age. Yet older women still had higher levels of new T-cells than men of the same age. 4. Women tend to sleep better than men Women are much better at coping with minor sleep deprivation according to a study by Alexandros Vgontzas of Pennsylvania State University. The stresses of modern day life can often mean that we miss out on valuable sleep, which is key to good health, but it is actually men who suffer from sleep deprivation the most: Vgontzas's research revealed that while women manage to get an average of 70 minutes deep sleep each night, men only managed to ****** 40 minutes. 5. Women generally have healthier diets If you think your man behaves like a caveman - especially when it comes to his eating habits, here?s why. A survey by FoodNet of 14,000 men and women found that men are more likely to eat meat-based dishes while women opt for a variety of foods including fresh fruit, vegetables, nuts, eggs and yogurt. 6. Women remain healthier in order to reproduce The roles that men and women play in the circle of life are very different and may determine why women outlive men. Thomas Perls, a former geriatrician at Harvard Medical School, believes that the menopause protects older women from bearing children in later life and allows them to live long enough to take care of their families. Perls also says that a man' purpose is to ?carry genes that ensure longevity and pass them on to their daughters. Thus, female longevity becomes the force that determines the natural life span of both men and women?. 7. Women are less likely to be smokers Smoking causes around 18% of deaths in adults aged 35 and over every year in the UK, according to the NHS. Shockingly, the NHS estimates that 23% of men will die of a smoking-related disease, compared to 14% of women. :!:

I have never been for a medical checkup before and although I feel fine, one of my resolutions for 2007 is to have one done. Since there is a good number of mature guys here I thought it would be a good place to ask. 1. Is it really important to have a prostate examination done, after 40? 2. How does it feel, both physically and psychologically? (I've never been probed down there). How many fingers are used? 3. Would one be more at ease if the doctor were male or female? 4. Can one self-examine oneself? Or is it easy enough that one's partner can do it?
