The place that really surprises me is Swensen's ice cream. Those are all over the place and really popular. Even during the big fat free yogurt craze, Swensen's extremely fattening real ice cream was more popular in Thailand.

Swensen's is pretty good and Cold Stone Creamery is another purveyor that is not too shabby. I like Cold Creamery's Chocolate Peanut Butter flavor. I had a scoop of it in Glorietta 3, Makati recently. Ha Ha. But have you ever tried Godiva soft Chocolate Ice Cream? HOLY MOTHER OF GOD! I have never tasted a richer, more decadent chocolate ice cream. The sugar/calorie content must be thru the roof, but it is the best tasting ice cream in the world, IMHO. LOL. Sadly or maybe fortunately, it is not sold in Godiva Chocolate stores in the USA as far as I know. So I have only found two Godiva Stores; one in Macau opposite the Grand Emperor Hotel and the other one in Jakarta in the Plaza Indonesia ground floor, that sell this ice cream. I don't usually go on and on about ice cream. I like it on somewhat rare occasions as much as the next guy or gal to satisfy a sugar craving, it's no big deal, but this Godiva stuff is truly something else and it is very addictive. Give it a taste next time you are in Plaza Indonesia and you will know what I mean.

P.S. I liked your recent report on Ruth Chris Steak House. I know a great one about 5 miles from my home in Florida, but not all Ruth Chris restaurants are good. That is why I took note of your recent post.

Of course, that can often be the case with American women being attracted to men because they are wealthy.

Not only American women and not only to wealthy men. Sometimes they are attracted to the social rank, or the power that comes from his rank.

I knew a Thai girl who told me that the prince of Dubai is very handsome. She then told me that there are hundreds of girls that are queuing to become his GF, and finally that I don't understand which guy is handsome from a woman's perspective.

Like you, I am surprised how popular McDs, KFC, Pizza Hut, now Taco Bell, etc. are with Thais.

They probably still don't realise these products are very low quality foods and most of the Thais I've known that use these products go their only once in a while for a change.

I found that the true sugar nightmare was found on the ground floor of Icon Siam. Folks with diabetes shouldn't even breathe the air in there. I'm moving out of Thonburi to get away from that place.

I was also struck by how many pastry, bread, donut, cake and cookie shops thrive in Thailand when I moved here several years ago. On my earlier visits 25-30 years ago I don't recall Thais being into that kind of food.

Things that are attractive to Thais, Americans, and the rest of the world.

1. Wealth is a high part of being attractive.

Seems to be true for Americans and Thais but not for me and not for my country (I guess). How much money a girl had or earned never concerned me.

...

I don't think the amount of money a girl has is of much interest to American men. I mean, other than guys looking to scam her out of her money. Otherwise, I have never met or talked to an American man who was sexually attracted to a woman because she was rich, if that is what you meant by "being attractive." Of course, that can often be the case with American women being attracted to men because they are wealthy.

About 20 years ago when I met my Thai girlfriend in the USA who then became my wife, she was never interested in desserts and sweets. She said it was not popular in her country, which matched my impression of Thailand at the time. She remained slim all her life and, at 54 years old today, is still slim. Which can not be said for many Thai women of that age here in Thailand these days.

2. Skin colour. Americans and some other countries love to get tanned. Thais hate it, and most of Asia is trying to have white skin.

Too much sun and too little are both not healthy. I just don't care if the girl is somewhat white or somewhat brown. Maybe don't go for extremes.

3. Surgeries. I read that 17.9% of the world's cosmetic surgeries are in USA. 10% in Brazil. High in Thailand too, but low in my country.

Can this be part of the reason, that obvious unnatural shape surgeries disturb me? Perhaps they are more acceptable to Thais and Americans.

I notice that even porn has a lot of surgeries girls, but I prefer to avoid that unless the surgeries are not very noticeable.

4. Americans are supposedly obsessed with being slim, but the reality is they are more obsessed with junk food and eating too much and antibiotics (upsetting the gut function), too much beer, resulting in, Obesity, Insulin resistance and all the associated diseases. I think their are almost two distinct categories. The normal sized people (with control or lucky metabolism) and the grossly overweight (out of control). In my country there are far more in between people, somewhat overweight to fat, but not so many massively obese (yeh some of course). Thai girls seem to be letting themselves get fat once they are married since many years ago, but these days even the teenage Thai girls are getting fat from bad diets. I am attracted to quite skinny girls ranging to below average size, but not to blubber. Even I could get sex from fat girls in the past, I was not interested. I try to maintain a more healthy diet myself, which means more veg, and low sugar / starch. In 2015 there was a comedy movie "Spy". It was totally cringe worthy for me, because the female lead was not only very fat, but an accident disaster area with zero brain. It seemed unfortunate, in fact so bad, that I could not actually watch it. I greatly preferred Rowan Atkins as a spy and I could watch it. Was it purely that he was skinnier? Maybe there was some other reason, like the script being somewhat less brainless.

It amazes me that Bangkok has successful McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut, etc. Not sure why people want to eat such junky food. Thais are also eating a lot noodles with fish balls or beef balls. I don't touch that stuff, nor French Fries etc. I have levels of food control to avoid stacking on the kilos too fast. I like to live longer too, so some control is needed (in my case).

I know others don't find skinny girls at all attractive and particularly want big tits. Indians like voluptuous girls, right? Not for me. I can take big naturals on a slim girl okay Ha ha. Quite rare.

Yeah, LINE is another communication app for the PC and cell phone. Thai girls are very fond of LINE. Filipinas prefer Viper. Chinese girls like WeChat. If you are planning a trip to Thailand I recommend adding the LINE app to your phone.

Many thanks, Natty and JB.

Politics aside (Mr. Jackson refuses to post my entries on this) can anyone tell me what "line" is? Another app? Some of my Thai Cupid contacts are giving me this and I don't know what it is. Thanks.

It is an app that allows you to communicate with each other, much like wechat, very easy to use, better than facebook, you creat you own ID, then you add others as friends, can text, chat, call, and video call as well.

Considering there isn't even one decent Democrat candidate out there, I doubt Tooms would want to throw his dollar away like that. That dollar could be used towards purchasing a burger at Big Dogs.

Any photos of the atomic blonde?

Hey, I generally get a whole dollar discount on those burgers at Big Dogs with my exclusive membership card! But I harbor a superstition about friendly side bets on important matters like election outcomes and the USA Economy. Better to make serious bets on serious outcomes like that with IRA money and major asset allocation moves.

[EihTooms]

OK, I will offer you the same wager I offered you before the 2016 election: I will bet you $1. 00 (a gentleman's wager) that Trump wins the 2020 election and I will offer you an additional $1.00 bet that should Trump win, he wins by a wider margin than he did in 2016.

Now, I really have to go. Atomic Blond is LINE video calling from Phuket. She is planning another of her North Asian tours and she wants to make sure it won't interfere with our reunion plans. She is a GFE super star. That's why I call her my Atomic Blond.

Oh, yeah as I recall you wanted to bet that we would see 3%+ annual GDP growth every year or every quarter for a few years or something like that after Trump passed his brilliant (joke) tax bill, right? I would have won money on that bet if I'd taken it. The first and likely best GDP growth year since that deficit-busting legislation was passed, 2018, came in at 2.9%, the same rate we saw in 2015 under Obama and without his adding $2 Trillion+ to the deficit to buy it.

But my reason for not taking the bet then applies to your new proposal; Not interested in betting on election outcomes and things like that. If Trump is appointed president again, how does that prove his results were better than anyone's including Obama's? Obama won twice and with a clear majority of the vote each time. So?

But it's interesting how Trumpsters can never show how his policies' economic results matched much less surpassed those of his predecessor while their guy has spent years telling us how disastrous everybody elses results were but his are the greatest of all time. You would think it would be easy to do that unless their guy has been lying his ass off about those things and his Trumpsters have fallen for it.

I got an idea why don't we ET Smoothy yourself and myself meet for an evening get pissed and end up wrecking a go go when the disagreements on Trump get really out of hand, then shake hands and agree to do it all again the next night.

I would be up for that. A discussion on politics while gogo dancers are grinding on each of our laps to keep things civil.

LOL. Good move. <snip> Better to respond to her Viper text. You will not be nearly as rewarded by what you will most certainly discover when or if you do a side by side comparison <snip>
