there ya go...more on target now....I like LOS mainly because it works for me and people leave you alone here...would I rather be in Vegas or Boulder...yes, but not so much that I'd lose my federal income tax exemption....

I have no problem with local women. I just don't find the ones here attractive mentally or physically. And they don't dig me either...not the quality that I am into.   I have seen some very pretty Thai girls in Vegas and I even dated one a few times...nice girl.  

thanks for your reply...aside from the possible allusion to katoeys...lol...

I don't understand your problem with tax exemption.  All USAID contractors with whom I have worked received their federal tax exemption (up to the limit) no matter their residency.  And I don't see how changing your destination when leaving the conflict zone changes that.  Most people with whom I worked chose Thailand as their getaway as it was within the distance allowed for a free ticket, was inexpensive, and fit their needs for a week or two of relaxation.  I should point out that this included both male and female employees.

I no longer work for the government but a Thai company.  I am a resident of the US.  Yet I still get my tax exemption as the key is that I earn my salary here.  There is some sort of number of day limit of spending time in the US, but anyone who has a real job should not reach that limit.  And when I was in a conflict zone, that requirement was null and void.

As far as what you consider "hot" women, well, that is all a matter of opinion.  To me, hot is more than superficial appearances but attitude.  But given your predilection, I still know a number of "hot" (by your definition) western women who have made their homes here in Thailand and are seemingly quite happy about it.
I don't see where he is concerned about his tax status.  The guy is not an American unless he is a naturalized American.
On Thai Visa there have been a number of posters over the years with the same issue.  They all come from the same country.  I would think this fellow is a remake of one of them.

Born and raised in the States...my dad and his dad and his dad too...I am sure you will stand corrected when you see a picture of me with butterbars on my collar....I don't hold it against you...there are so many bsers among the populace here.

Why do you think I am naturalized? Never been accused of that before..the formality of the diction or sumptin?
"why you are being all jew over her food and hotel." An American would not use that phrase.  Boggles the mind in its crudeness.

In Topic: India- Tiger Poachers To Be Shot On Sight

Tigers are like any other animal.  The deer herd in the US is much larger now than it was 200 years ago and wonderful example of animal conservation and economic viability.  Tigers can be managed in game preserves and hunted like any other big game animal.  I am all for conservation of endangered species and many times the way to insure viability of a species is to hunt it in a controlled environment.  The question is always management of wildlife and how to fund that.  Hunting licenses fund wildlife conservation.  Deer hunting in the US is a great example of this.

Aurellian, the reason most trolls post only once and then watch the thread is because very few of them have the ability to keep working the BS in a believable manner.

Your marks for trolling 2 out of 10, as you did broach an interesting subject, before you peed all over your leg.
He gets OK marks in slang but uses some words that went out of fashion in my grandmothers time.  Gotta wonder why people do it.  Maybe practice for something else.

It would appear yet another case of a foreigner in Thailand with no health insurance.  Makes my blood boil, and this guy is a teacher?  Should know better.

I hope he has generous friends, and wealthy parents.  All completely avoidable with a decent policy.

And yet again another clear demonstration to those clowns who say they can just get on a plane if they get sick.  Can't get on a plane if you are in ICU in a coma.

That said, I hope he recovers for the sake of his family as much as himself.

Regents School offer health insurance as part of their ex-pat package. Clearly not a very good policy though if it doesn't cover the bills in full.

And for those that keep banging the drum of how safe Pattaya is, just by the very nature of the place and the type of individual it attracts, both Thai and Foreign, I can't think of a more dangerous place in Thailand.
I guess the time has come to admit this has turned into another Pattaya bashing thread.  The "no sex please I'm British" Brigade is out in force again.  Hope the guy gets better.

The Khmer who took my order tonight didn't speak Thai very well and got it wrong.  The owner apologized.  Can't find enough Thais to fill the service jobs.

There be a two edged sword.


Change find into afford.
That's true.  Although I must admit I find the Burmese maids a refreshing change.  Pity I don't speak any Burmese at all.
