I learned a lesson about New Year Resolutions this week. I have been indulging far too much and resolved to give up drinking, smoking and fornication for a week. I don't smoke and the chance to fornicate is nil. Yeah! I am two thirds there before I start. Sent from my CPH1941 using Tapatalk

Again a good reply but I think that you are generalising. Thats fine but when it comes to individuals every story is unique and there is a great deal of history on this board. I have never understood the sponsor mentality but I accept that if its right for your emotional and financial state, then go for it. I guess that in some ways I have a bias in that over the last ten months since I have been away from Thailand I have, on line, met some really genuine people prepared to help out in this unprecedented time in history. There are others but I have seen and heard enough good and see how people have helped out whenever and however they can. I mentioned in another post that the TGF had enjoyed two birthday parties at the weekend. I am aware due to the videos that the people pulling the strings were both Farang expats. Like so many people I have had saved a lot of dollars having now cancelled four planned trips. A few of those dollars sent to Thailand isnt an issue.

Jacko. You raise a good subject. I have had to bite my tongue a bit over the last few weeks and perhaps the last few days was an object lesson. The TGF hasnt been home for almost a year and was booked to go on the 27th of December and all that came crashing down. I admit that I had sent her some money to help on a few fronts but she was distraught about missing out on having her birthday with Mum, Dad, Son and the family. I was well aware that some of the money went home but others was spent on a few remaining co workers in Pattaya. OK, its the Thai way. This weekend she had a surprise birthday party on Saturday at a condo in Pattaya and another last night at the place she works. I have the videos and all I can say is that her investment in her friends has made her one very happy person. The food, presents and the feeling of having a family of sorts was perhaps well worth not having money in the bank for that proverbial rainy day.

Yes, we may be "Pond Scum" but I would like to bet that there are a lot of Thai ladies who are surviving on what their particular piece of scum is sending them and some of the expats who are supporting them. There is probably a lot more than we know about.

When someone writes the following I feel justified in being flippant : I personally stand to lose thousands each month,... Earnings like this are only a dream for most of the World. Sure its tough but just as many people believe that they should be allowed to do as they want, then so are businesses allowed to deal with who they feel are worthy. Remember that the article was about trying to do the right thing even if it cost the traders money/turnover in the process. Sent from my CPH1941 using Tapatalk

Thanks but when the butcher, baker and dildo maker are out of work, does it matter? Sent from my CPH1941 using Tapatalk

Yes indeed. I wonder if I am the only one who has been so pissed off with the constant chatteriing of a client that its almost lead to blows? I can handle a bit of Thai music or in one case YouTube selecting what comes next but someone recounting every ailment in their life span or a CV of their boring lives is enough for me to reach for my clothes and off to look for somewhere more to my taste.

In my younger days I was in the merchant navy. We would go through the Suez canal and a bunch of local tradies, magicians etc came for the ride. The most fascinating was a little Egyptian guy who cut the crews hair quite well. He would amaze us all with his ability to be able to speak any English dialect perfectly. I have never forgotten this guy as an example of what someone can achieve when their lives depend on it. I think many Thai girls fill the same bill. Sent from my CPH1941 using Tapatalk
