I am married to a great Thai lady .

I don’t frequent bars these days so I don’t disagree with you about how things have changed especially with the change in government .

I am prepared to defend myself against people who want to insult me online and show their false bravado .

I have lived in Thailand for 9 years and never had to use a bar girl for sex .

Maybe if some of you weren’t such ugly people you wouldn’t have to either .!!
