My 1st time in Thaiand I was a young USAF Pilot. When I left the base, it was like stepping into heaven. The people were friendly and the girls were like angels and smelled so good. I served three more years there and loved it all. Looking forward to returning.
Great vid! Your right about western women what English bird would want me, look at me! In pattaya I can get all the women I want ! Thailand gave me true happiness for the frist time in my life and I will never forget that. On my death bed which won't be long now I will always remember my frist time there, it is up there with my kids being born. Best most happy memories are from there. God bless you all
Came Thailand 3 years ago & spent time here & Philippines. Mainly Thai, I know live in Khun han & everything you say is so true. I could go out in England & never get 1 girl to speak as there so miserable. Asia, I'm a superstar with beautiful girls you can only ever dream of. I'm semi settled know retired with my 36yr lady & in 52. Trained chef also, awesome. She kills me but what a way to go. Great Vlog again Ed, keep up the great work.
Thanks, Alistair. Yes, I do remember well that night when I returned from Thailand and how miserable the English women in the club where! Give me Pattaya anyday.
The first time I visited Thailand was 1984... I have spent a few years living there, and I have been back many many times, There is no other country I have visited as often as I have Thailand.... But like you said things have changed... Pattaya was a quarter of the size back then as it compared to today... That bar the Tahitian Queen you mentioned is the only "Original agogo Bar" left over from the Viet Nam war days opened in the late 60s and it is still the same bar interior today as it was the day it opened. I have had a 25 year old "Girl Friend" from that bar every generation since the 1980s though to 2010. So my first 25 year old Girlfriend from the 1980s must be 60 + now,,, Oh dear!!
First one I had was taking a unusually long time just studying the old love wand, when I asked if everything OK she said yes, but I don't half miss mine...
First time in BK was on a layover. Long time ago. Didn’t even go out. The cool guy running the hotel was chatting with me in the restaurant. Asked me if I wanted a girl. I had heard things and said no thanks. He’s like, what kinda girl you like. I said like that girl rite there. Just a cute young girl clearing tables. He says just a minute. Talks to her, how embarrassing, she smiles at me, he comes back n says, she wants to be with you. I love Thailand
Second comment here... yes! missing my first Thai girl. She was lovely 24yr old. Wont forget the eight days we had together. I will be back soon for more lovely girls. Hopefully, with the right choices, I will have good memories again.
That's IT! Edwards back! At first I thought you were going to say, I can remember my first... at the bar, in jometein, on the balcony, picked up from the mall, massage girl, soapy massage, and the list of firsts go on... don't feel so old, when you can remember all of them!
Thanks, Tyler. It's strange the way you can remember vividly 17 years ago, but I struggle to remember last week. Maybe all those Singha beers have killed a few brain cells!
That was great. I can relate sooo much. I started eleven years ago. I have been living here for nine years now. And I never look back. I learned not to talk about it when I visit the states, the girls get mad and the guys get sad.
I'll never forget my first time to thailand. I was 28; i'd been through a horrible divorce, experienced severe depression after the financial rape i'd endured in divorce court, being seperated from my sons for two weeks at a time killed me. All the usual stuff all you other lads know about all too well. Anyways my best mate offered to go over to Thailand for a holiday, just what the dr ordered he reckoned. I had the absolute time of my life, I came home feeling like a million dollars and life got on the up and up after that. I can really pin point that trip as the catalyst for turning it all around. The land of smiles is the perfect salve for a broken heart.
Well I'll be damned if you didn't just nail my own thoughts and experiences of my first trip to Thailand in 2002. An unimaginable life changing experience for me. Thanks for the memory jog. I got a shiver down my spine listening to you and remembering that wonderful, extraordinary first time and all those Angels that made it so much fun. Cheers Ed.
20 years ago Thailand was beautiful....now its changed. 20 years ago, I was in CM and walking back to my room getting ready to leave that next morning...heading back to USA. On the walk to my room I passed a bar that catered to Japanese men in CM. I saw this beautiful Thai girl named joy sitting outside. We talked and got her number. Left for USA next day. Started calling her and she was calling me in USA. After a couple of years, sold everything and moved to CM. It worked for about 3 months but I moved on and found another Thai girl. Still married to her after all these years. She’s beautiful and I’m lucky and still in Thailand
Funny that ⁉️🇹🇭So much of what you said rings true for me also !! I was married for near 20 years, and when it went sour , I discovered Thailand again, having been there 30 years ago !! And now it’s so much fun to meet girls who want to hang out with me and enjoy the night!! Bargirl or not, ⁉️I’ve met that many beautiful girls and I’m still friends with a few !! 🇹🇭🇹🇭👌👌👍
Ed, you hit the nail on the head. Two weeks of bliss is better than a year of rejection depression...I went to Thailand the first time in 1992 when I was a wee soul...I still remember. I, to this day tell the story to my and ask my friends...Do you know what it is like to feel like a king?
Nice video Ed, sounds like some good times were had back than as I'm sure you're having now. keep up the quality posts, your approach and humour are well enjoyed.
Love your honesty Ed as I've done plenty of girls from bars while in Thailand and I don't see what all the big hush is about with Thailand vloggers as Thailand does peel the years off you and makes you feel really good about life even if it is all a bit of a fantasy, but sex tourism is also played out by western women that frequent places like Jamaica and Africa, so each to their own for life is short and a freezing winter is long and as the dead farang says ' bar girls can't eat love '. 555
@Sam Suby I saw a vlog comment a couple of weeks ago by an aussie creator that dead farangs ok and working on something to come about in the future,hopefully not too long he's a brilliant.
Ed, I really enjoyed the way the story was told, left me wanting more. I think you might be on to something here. Please tell of another adventure. I'll be there next November for the month, can't wait.
I remember my first trip to pattaya was 12 years ago, i now live here so i must of liked it lol, the only sad thing to me is you will never have the same feeling you had on the first time trip but its still great here
total true statement! Things can add up fast, yet in America it's just whats expected...... Buying a girl is way cheaper. Lets not fool ourselves, it's always about money no matter where you are, with very few exceptions in either place
Love your videos Ed. I was fortunate to get the chance to move to Singapore for work a couple of years ago. Thailand, vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia etc within easy reach. Lived in the UK for my whole life before this. The women in this part of the world are better on all fronts. I love them! I'm not looking to move back anytime soon. Had my fun. Now with a beautiful indonesian girl right now who I will marry next year! Keep up the good work mate.
Another fabulous video, I can't wait to make my move to Thailand. The women in America have the same sour face that you describe in England. Cheers Mate.
I've been going now twice a year on average about three weeks each time. Every girl I've been with I take a photo of with me. I'm nearly 52. By the time I end up in an old nursing home I'm having every photo made into a fridge magnet just to put on my fridge!
Somehow I never thought of Thai girls as fridge magnets...But you know what? Sounds a great idea! Everytime you need a cold beer...memories come flooding back. Thanks, oncall21, you've made me smile.
oncall21 I don’t know how you afford to go once a year let alone 3/4 times a year the ladies are ridiculously expensive each lady for longstay from a go go bar is 5000/6000 baht how the fuk. Do you afford to go to Thailand so much you must be a drug dealer 😂😂
@@leehollebon3228 hehehehe. I wish. No I'm 52 and I've always worked two jobs and traveled all my life. I'm in a position now that I can afford to take a couple of months off a year. The days of backpacking on the smell of a crusty rupee are over. I'd hate to know how much I've paid in tax over my lifetime from work so far. Personally I don't do LT girls. ST and getting out and about is more my thing.
I really like your videos, uncut, honest, with respect for the culture and people. I dislike some UA-camrs posting downlooking bragging crap about how many "hookers" as they call them they could shag (not so sure about that really) - some are deeply disrespectful, yours arent, and you show your face, because you arent ashamed of having nice times with nice people. You seem to tell things for what they are, for them that can understand something like that. Been following you for a while, and will keep doing. You are a great storyteller by the way. Cheers!
@@STEADY599 as soon as this Dempanic is over and the Travel ban is Lifted i am on the 1 st plane out of the usa to Southeast Asia , Philippines , Thailand , Cambodia I miss it dearly and the Beautiful Asian woman Happy travels , Cheers : )
This is the first video of yours that I have watched. Great narrative and content! Excellent style. Now I'm going to find some more of your videos! Thanks
Love the video, reminds me of good times now I'm stuck in cold farangland for a few more months. Similar thoughts here, a fair bit younger, not been going for as long, but had thought about it for years. So much fun to be had never forget the first time my friend took me to a gogo bar for a quick look, couldn't help but go back later in the eve myself. The dancer I went with wasn't just good looking but great company too. The other thing there is I'm free to be with whatever type of companion that I want without the open harassment we'd likely get in merry old England, if it was even possible. It all makes me happy, long live the kingdom of Thailand!
Brilliant descriptive and accurate of the Thai scene, i worked near Pattaya for a year in the 80's and have holidayed there many times since and it's slowly got less enjoyable than the hights of then and that Tahitian Queen Go Go was the 1st and only when i was there in '80, still a great place to visit but just not as good as then, those Thai ladies are great.
A bit like you Eddie my first visit to Thailand i stopped in Bangkok for three night before moving on to Pattaya. On reflection i should gone straight to pattaya but lifes a learning curve i think you'll agree
ED., You do know how to tell a great story. I hope to hear more of those true heartwarming stories. Now get back to work slave and hope to watch you in Thailand again soon. All the best Ed.
Great to hear from you, Jimmy. Really looking forward to more of your vids. I'm celebrating tonight coz I'm about to reach 10,000 subscribers. And you've been a supporter from the start. Thanks, my friend.
Brilliant video Eddie! There's nothing like the first trip to an exotic country like Thailand or the Philippines. Great decision to do it wasn't it! But you must have to keep your head down when you're back on the motherland. Those wrinkly, cranky old boilers over there would be gunning for ya! hahahaha!
Thanks, mate. Yes, it's a fact of life I can remember many years ago clearly, but struggle to remember last week! As for those cranky old boilers...very nicely said!
2007 was my first trip to Pattaya. I always think of the first 2 Thai girls I had the pleasure of. First 'oh' was from Buffalo bar over on third road. Lovely girl, petite. Second girl 'lucky' was from cloud 9 bar. Good girls!
your spot on Edward I will never forget my first thai girl.I took her back to my hotel which was the old montien on beach road little did I know it wasn't guest friendly.So had to pay an extra 1000 baht on top of that the lady I was with liked a drink and nearly emptied my mini bar.But I still had the time of my life and have being going back nearly every year since 2001.But its so true you never forget your first cheers Edward keep them coming the vlogs I mean.....
20yrs going Pattaya now. I still wish and hope to bump into my first group of thai lady friends and see how life has turned out for them. Sadly my girlfriend of ten yrs passed away. Time moves on and for us fortunate guys our enjoyment for life continues..
`So well done. Really got to me. All those memories; was it really that long ago? Living & loving--what a great place to be. The narration was spot on so too the video; they just matched up perfectly. Nostalgia. Wouldn't trade it for the world.
Great narration mate. Reminds me of my first time there, my old man paid my bar-fine. I was 15 in the 80's. Sour face slappers LOL! Always good to try a new Thai on!
Great video, mate, love hearing a proper Scouse accent instead of one of those well heeled condescending upper class tour guides telling me nowt but how to fund their Patreon account. Proper honesty in your opinions made this a pleasure to watch.
I really enjoyed this vlog reminds me of my first time i came to Pattaya lived the dream for 3 weeks have been back every year now for 9 years brings back so many fond memories. Your right im an Aussie and no longer waste my time with the women here just save my money for mt next trip to paradise. Have a merry xmas maybe i will catch you there one year.
Completely agree with you mate....wondering after 10 to 15 years I would have also same thoughts on those thai girls whom I am meeting, big like for such experience 😊👍
Wow wow I stumbled upon this video and I must say it was a very nice and entertaining video like that music your deep voice fits it a forget that its not a ABC news documentary good job 👍🏿 one love ❤️🇯🇲
very true Ed , my first experience of Thailand was in 1987 and a bar girl was 500 baht a night ..... now they're asking 2000 , that's inflation ...... however i still visit every year for a month and enjoy it though the price of everything is getting expensive if your not careful ......
Love your attitude. Live and learn. You can't explain to people what Asia is about. They have to live it to know it. I came to Asia in 2013 for a 3 month holiday, i fell in love with Cambodia and a Khmer woman and i am still here. We are married and i now am a teacher. At the age of 57 then i could not of achieved this in Australia. I was considered too old.
Hi Edward, at 2:19 The AMARI Watergate where I stayed last for a few days and had the time of my life hehe. Now waiting to get my pension and other things to settle and on my way to South East Asia. Nice video and keep up the good work.
Very nicely done, Mac. Yery informative, and you are also a natural born storyteller. Women in the States are not much better than the ones in England - if at all. The latest thing that they are complaining about is something called "toxic masculinity." These dames are "liberating" themselves out of any chance at having a relationship with a normal man.
Great Video. I am much younger than you, however Pattaya is my favourite place. This would never happen in the west. Here, you look at a girl they cry feminism. Can't wait to head back in a month.
Great video, I went last week to Pattaya for my 60th birthday for the first time. Now i know the meaning of "Ive died and gone to heaven" will be going back again in a few months. wonderful women and people. So much better than western women who are so judgmental.
"I'm 17 years older and the girls are the same age"....great line and so true. That's the magic of Thailand!
"IT'S BETTER TO BE A WINNER FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS THAN TO BE A LOSER FOR THE WHOLE YEAR" EPIC! 👍🏻
Thanks, Kevin. Glad you liked it.
Edward Sweeney - Hahaha....Nice one!
I like that saying too
As his money runs out. lmao
My 1st time in Thaiand I was a young USAF Pilot. When I left the base, it was like stepping into heaven. The people were friendly and the girls were like angels and smelled so good. I served three more years there and loved it all. Looking forward to returning.
Good for you, John.
Great vid!
Your right about western women what English bird would want me, look at me!
In pattaya I can get all the women I want !
Thailand gave me true happiness for the frist time in my life and I will never forget that.
On my death bed which won't be long now I will always remember my frist time there, it is up there with my kids being born.
Best most happy memories are from there.
God bless you all
Thanks, Uncle Tim. Thailand has given many men fond memories, I never forget mine. And Pattaya is still a great place. Thanks for your comments, mate.
Your absolutely right my friend in everything you say- god bless

Western women don't hold a candle to Thai women 😍
Once you go Thai your never forget that experience.
Best cure for depression is get out of the west and go east
First one I had was taking a unusually long time just studying the old love wand, when I asked if everything OK she said yes, but I don't half miss mine...
LOL did you proceed anyway?

First time in BK was on a layover. Long time ago. Didn’t even go out. The cool guy running the hotel was chatting with me in the restaurant. Asked me if I wanted a girl.

Talks to her, how embarrassing, she smiles at me, he comes back n says, she wants to be with you. I love Thailand
Hi, Donovan. I love Thailand, too.
Exactly. People who haven’t been here just don’t know. Ideal example.
The thing I love the most about Thailand is the girls saying
SIT DOWN PLEASE I DO EVERYTHING and then finding out they dont
Second comment here... yes! missing my first Thai girl. She was lovely 24yr old. Wont forget the eight days we had together. I will be back soon for more lovely girls. Hopefully, with the right choices, I will have good memories again.
Appreciate your honest narration and your outright outspokeness on your scores. Another nice vlog. Keep it going.
That's IT! Edwards back! At first I thought you were going to say, I can remember my first... at the bar, in jometein, on the balcony, picked up from the mall, massage girl, soapy massage, and the list of firsts go on... don't feel so old, when you can remember all of them!
Thanks, Tyler. It's strange the way you can remember vividly 17 years ago, but I struggle to remember last week. Maybe all those Singha beers have killed a few brain cells!

Great story...I will never forget my first thai girl.magical night
I'll never forget my first time to thailand. I was 28; i'd been through a horrible divorce, experienced severe depression after the financial rape i'd endured in divorce court, being seperated from my sons for two weeks at a time killed me. All the usual stuff all you other lads know about all too well. Anyways my best mate offered to go over to Thailand for a holiday, just what the dr ordered he reckoned. I had the absolute time of my life, I came home feeling like a million dollars and life got on the up and up after that. I can really pin point that trip as the catalyst for turning it all around. The land of smiles is the perfect salve for a broken heart.
Thanks for your info, mate. Much appreciated.
Agreed. A trip through Thailand, Malaysia, and lastly a bit of Cambodia was the turning point for me in a very similar situation and age.
Well I'll be damned if you didn't just nail my own thoughts and experiences of my first trip to Thailand in 2002. An unimaginable life changing experience for me. Thanks for the memory jog. I got a shiver down my spine listening to you and remembering that wonderful, extraordinary first time and all those Angels that made it so much fun. Cheers Ed.
Thanks, Nobby, I appreciate that.
Great stuff Eddie, this made me cry and smile at the same time. Roll on December when i'll be back in Bangkok!

love it Ed great insights first time you see a Thai girl wrapped in those white hotel towels never forget it ..
I totally agree, Paul. The sexiest thing a Thai girl can wear is a white bath towel!
YES! Exactly. Just got back three days ago and that lovely brown skin against towels, sheets. Beautiful.
Ed, Thanks for wonderful & honest appraisal. Certainly, its better to be winner for few weeks than a loser for the whole year. You nailed it.

Great video Eddie, your right about the western woman, great presentation mate. 😀
A refreshing and well made presentation. Loved the comparison with England at the end.
Thanks, Chris.
A bit like you Eddie my first visit to Thailand i stopped in Bangkok for three night before moving on to Pattaya. On reflection i should gone straight to pattaya but lifes a learning curve i think you'll agree
You are a legend man. Really fun to listen to your vlog. Thanks!
Thanks, mate.
same same all of 16 years ago...i still go back for more...keep the videos coming
ED., You do know how to tell a great story. I hope to hear more of those true heartwarming stories. Now get back to work slave and hope to watch you in Thailand again soon. All the best Ed.
Cheers, Ben.
You cannot get any more real than this!!Awesome Edward!!
Thanks, Douglas, appreciate that.
I enjoyed this video Edward, the story was interesting,
Thanks for sharing..
I just stumbled onto this old video again. PRICELESS!! :)
Thankyou, mate.
Hi Edward, I really love this vid its really a good one, one of your best ever. I do appreciate the time you put into this vid, thanks Ed!!
It's wonderful you have such fond memories and it seems you have a big hit with this veedio!
Great to hear from you, Jimmy. Really looking forward to more of your vids. I'm celebrating tonight coz I'm about to reach 10,000 subscribers. And you've been a supporter from the start. Thanks, my friend.
Brilliant video Eddie! There's nothing like the first trip to an exotic country like Thailand or the Philippines. Great decision to do it wasn't it! But you must have to keep your head down when you're back on the motherland. Those wrinkly, cranky old boilers over there would be gunning for ya! hahahaha!
Thanks, mate. Yes, it's a fact of life I can remember many years ago clearly, but struggle to remember last week! As for those cranky old boilers...very nicely said!
2007 was my first trip to Pattaya. I always think of the first 2 Thai girls I had the pleasure of. First 'oh' was from Buffalo bar over on third road. Lovely girl, petite. Second girl 'lucky' was from cloud 9 bar. Good girls!
Another nice Film Buddy - Like the style.
Im sure I will check out Pattaya on my next trip - Thanks for the share!
Best Wishes Jim
Thanks, Jim. Pattaya is always worth checking out!
Great video Ed 👍. Echoes a lot of my experiences . 😎
Thanks, mate.
your spot on Edward I will never forget my first thai girl.I took her back to my hotel which was the old montien on beach road little did I know it wasn't guest friendly.So had to pay an extra 1000 baht on top of that the lady I was with liked a drink and nearly emptied my mini bar.But I still had the time of my life and have being going back nearly every year since 2001.But its so true you never forget your first cheers Edward keep them coming the vlogs I mean.....
20yrs going Pattaya now. I still wish and hope to bump into my first group of thai lady friends and see how life has turned out for them. Sadly my girlfriend of ten yrs passed away. Time moves on and for us fortunate guys our enjoyment for life continues..
Eddie have you met up with any of your first time girls on your continuous returns to Thailand
Hi, Karl. Not so much Thailand, but Cambodia quite a lot.
`So well done. Really got to me. All those memories; was it really that long ago? Living & loving--what a great place to be. The narration was spot on so too the video; they just matched up perfectly. Nostalgia. Wouldn't trade it for the world.
Thanks, Gary.
Great video, just got back from Chiang mai.Spent 20 nights there and it was all good mate.Cool people,beautiful girls and temples.
Chiang Mai is a good town. Maybe it's time I had another visit there. Thanks, Oskar.
Great narration mate. Reminds me of my first time there, my old man paid my bar-fine. I was 15 in the 80's. Sour face slappers LOL! Always good to try a new Thai on!
Thanks, John.
Great video, mate, love hearing a proper Scouse accent instead of one of those well heeled condescending upper class tour guides telling me nowt but how to fund their Patreon account. Proper honesty in your opinions made this a pleasure to watch.
Thanks, Ted. Really appreciate that.
i cant wait to go there , another awesome vlog .
I really enjoyed this vlog reminds me of my first time i came to Pattaya lived the dream for 3 weeks have been back every year now for 9 years brings back so many fond memories. Your right im an Aussie and no longer waste my time with the women here just save my money for mt next trip to paradise. Have a merry xmas maybe i will catch you there one year.
Thanks, mate. Have a great Christmas.
I had my first summer in Pattaya in 2006, remember my first thai girls too!! never be the same again though.

Completely agree with you mate....wondering after 10 to 15 years I would have also same thoughts on those thai girls whom I am meeting, big like for such experience 😊👍
I remember my first Thai. Wow. What a culture shock. 2017. I will be back many more times!!!
I'll be back there when the time is right.
One if the best vlogs I have seen.
Cheers, mate.
Nice and honest video Eddie...waiting for more ..😁

Thanks, mate. Thailand still great.
What a great story. This mirrors my own experiences.

Love the background music, Men go for it, you live once, enjoy
Your videos are of great value and realistic approach!! Thank you, dear friend!!
Cheers mate
Wow wow I stumbled upon this video and I must say it was a very nice and entertaining video like that music your deep voice fits it a forget that its not a ABC news documentary good job 👍🏿 one love ❤️🇯🇲
Thanks, Owen. Glad you liked it.
Times have changed in bars now struggle to get them girls off their smart phones now, still better than UK!
Glad I was there partying before the smart phones arrived.
Edward, I busted a gut when you described the women at the night back home. too funny, great video, Thank you.
Thanks, Carlos, good to hear from you.
Loved it...so honest.... painted a beautiful picture of happy memories.... thats what life is all about!
Thanks, Nigel. Glad you liked it.
Great story! And may I say, you have good taste! She's a knockout!!! Good for you dude!
Thanks, mate.
Your a cool guy I done the boxing complex in chiang main many times keep up the great stuff cheered me up in a damp wet Wednesday morning in Scotland
Thanks, Paul. I'm sure the Winter has well and truly set in in Scotland by now. Keep warm, and thanks for your comments.
very true Ed , my first experience of Thailand was in 1987 and a bar girl was 500 baht a night ..... now they're asking 2000 , that's inflation ...... however i still visit every year for a month and enjoy it though the price of everything is getting expensive if your not careful ......
You're right, Michael, things are getting expensive. But what you can get for your money still makes it worth it. Thanks for watching, mate.
Love your attitude. Live and learn. You can't explain to people what Asia is about. They have to live it to know it. I came to Asia in 2013 for a 3 month holiday, i fell in love with Cambodia and a Khmer woman and i am still here. We are married and i now am a teacher. At the age of 57 then i could not of achieved this in Australia. I was considered too old.
Thanks, David. I'm pleased everything has worked out really well for you.
Hi Love your honesty ive been going since 2004 Thailand Cambodia Philippines I understand what you say....keep em coming please. you retired now...?
Thanks, Gordon. Retired? I'm working on it!
Hi Edward, at 2:19 The AMARI Watergate where I stayed last for a few days and had the time of my life hehe. Now waiting to get my pension and other things to settle and on my way to South East Asia. Nice video and keep up the good work.
Thanks, Joe. I'm sure you'll be having a great retirement in this terrific part of the world.
Very nicely done, Mac. Yery informative, and you are also a natural born storyteller. Women in the States are not much better than the ones in England - if at all. The latest thing that they are complaining about is something called "toxic masculinity." These dames are "liberating" themselves out of any chance at having a relationship with a normal man.
Thanks for some very interesting comments, mate.
Loved every minute of this Ed....I'm a long time visitor 2007.....
Thanks, mate. Pattaya still terrific.
Great Video. I am much younger than you, however Pattaya is my favourite place. This would never happen in the west. Here, you look at a girl they cry feminism. Can't wait to head back in a month.
Great story. Thank You for sharing your experience.
Great video, I went last week to Pattaya for my 60th birthday for the first time. Now i know the meaning of "Ive died and gone to heaven" will be going back again in a few months. wonderful women and people. So much better than western women who are so judgmental.
Thanks, Elio. You're right, Thai women are terrific.
What a beautiful story with happy endings,I love it,I have to stop watching these videos though coz I am married and I know I'm never gonna go there.
Thanks, mate.
