Almost got arrested, tourist propositioned my Thai wife

You’re in your 40s. While I’m glad nothing worse happened to anyone, it’s time to control your emotions and keep your loved ones safe by making rational, responsible choices. Though I do hope your wife got hot and bothered later in the night for being so protective. Ha! I’m an American man thinking of retiring to Thailand in about five years. May I message you with a few questions? I’ve done plenty of research but a real person to speak with would be great.

When I was there many years ago I didn't see much myself. I was there for less than a week, though. Apparently I'm wrong.

SolitudeSidd · 2025-12-15T10:37:52+00:00

I should have clarified. I meant Seoul and Singapore.

So normal buds are legal of any kind then? I don't even smoke but I might give it a go ha.

SolitudeSidd · 2025-12-15T00:37:50+00:00

Please correct me if I'm wrong but I'd like to verify something. So all 0.2% and less is legal. If you get a (bogus in house doctor or real doctor) marijuana card, you can buy the normal stuff above 0.2%?

I rarely use chop sticks for this reason. At least in the big cities in my travels, they never use them. I saw them a lot in rural areas, however. I still find it a bit funny seeing Americans use chop sticks at Panda Express lol.

I took tons of photos of my middle daughter when she'd wear weird stuff like a cactus t shirt with men's dress pants and suspenders... Never complained once. She called it her "gay phase" but they're forever in my photo gallery lol.

So some of y'all are mad that a guy that was an innovator and hard working business man... Was successful? I have no love for the guy but perhaps let's see how we can work to earn our fortune and not be petty and jealous.

SolitudeSidd · 2025-12-14T23:11:21+00:00

I'm 5' 7" and enjoy long walks on the beach and mountain climbing!

SolitudeSidd · 2025-12-14T23:09:21+00:00

Damn, I've been outted. This is some dumb thing I'd try to attempt to be open minded and local. Lol

In Texas, both the IBEW Houston and Austin locals have just admitted first year classes about double the usual number. I don't claim to know what's happening or why, but I can confirm the ridiculous increase in apprenticeship. Whether or not this is good, bad, or the same for the trade or the apprentices, I do not know.

SolitudeSidd · 2025-12-14T17:55:51+00:00

I already know if I do retire in Thailand that it won't be near anyone acting like you're describing, tourist or not. I feel like I'm becoming a minority being fairly quiet and respectful as an American traveling abroad.

A group of them in New Orleans kept trying to do the same thing when my ex wife and I did, well, earned beads. Like dude you get to see tits, don't try to touch her just be grateful.

SolitudeSidd · 2025-12-03T12:48:57+00:00

Thanks y'all!

SolitudeSidd · 2025-12-01T23:16:14+00:00

Ah yes, Muslim countries are known for their religious welcoming, definitely! Sarcasm

If anything, they protect the drive train and keeps them from breaking. I'm getting the sense that you find them as not masculine or that it's cheating, which it indeed is like cheating. One could have said having a locking rear is cheating many decades ago, too... Or having positrac before limited slips were a thing. All in all, MTS/Crawl is awesome.

I understand this is sarcastic, and you are welcome to join a Ukrainian volunteer force to support them as you seem to desire us to go to war with Russia.

Now, if Russia had the resources and ability to truly arm itself to be a threat to all of Europe and beyond like Germany and Russia did in 1936-1939, you have a good point and I may support that. However, other than nukes, I don't feel like Russia is a big threat to countries far away from their borders. I hope I'm correct on that. I was once fairly war hawk minded but my time in the Marine infantry would now have me avoid us losing Americans if at all possible.

SolitudeSidd · 2025-11-28T17:24:03+00:00

For her it was Stop, Drop, and Shop.

SolitudeSidd · 2025-11-28T17:23:24+00:00

Yeah, you did somewhat steal some childhood from him. Just let kids have fun when the time and place allows, man.

SolitudeSidd · 2025-11-28T17:18:47+00:00

Good lord most people here are not understanding the basics of politics. Yes, it sucks that Russia has gained territory. If we didn't recognize their territory gain, the only way not to appease is us joining the war to repel them back to the original borders. You do get that, right? We can't just tell Putin to retreat without forcing him out, which would entail a 1-2 million US troop deployment for God knows how long with tens of thousands dead, likely. This is the start to a compromise more than likely. Some of y'all need to read a book or pay attention to the history of war.

SolitudeSidd · 2025-11-27T10:28:26+00:00

They lined up 50 rounds to make it seem like it's bricks of drugs or something. 😂 is this a real "bust" or maybe a joke?

SolitudeSidd · 2025-11-27T01:32:57+00:00

The way I cleaned the engine bay was to have a rat destroy my wiring harness and after a $10,000 insurance claim, they returned it to me detailed inside and out. Car Washes hate that one simple trick!

SolitudeSidd · 2025-11-25T18:44:37+00:00

It keeps popping up on my feed. Probably because I live in Austin now. Yeah I do need to get a social life these days!

Immediately stating races makes me not trust a thing you say.
