You def lean towards a bleeding heart.

Oh. Some call it proof!

You're a nasty piece ...Alex

Maybe if you stopped eating rats your taste buds would develop. Blue cheese is quite varied and vast btw.

Yah right. Tell that to those who came through Ellis Island vs illegally now. No comparison. No handouts.

You can easily use your camera idiot.

You have a phone don't you? Film one of these fantasy's. Aren't we done with fake posters on this forum. Why not come back as Thai lady who types English incorrectly or something else?

Yah. What exactly are you saying? Fake price? Your post is confusing.

Why don't you give two examples of exactly what you mean? I just spent 10 days there and have no idea what you mean. Give a real example.

Oi

They aren't keeping up appearances in 7,000,000 baht cars like the guy in the village you live with 1,000,000 baht car. A lot of THEM are struggling. You keep ragging on bars. Maybe you should go to Thong Lor or other areas and have nice educated conversations. Going out for a drink once a week doesn't limit my travels in Thailand. I'd argue Bangkok is the best base to reach all the great places there are. Bangkok is truly the melting pot of Thailand. People from all provinces live and work and play here.

It's just a blessing that Thailand doesn't have scratch lottery tickets. It would be a disaster!!

A lot of people on this forum live in Bangkok. Have you been in garages of even middle class Bangkok condos? Have you gone to any mall on let's say a Tuesday afternoon? Have you seen the cars there? It's almost unreal the display of cars costing $200,000USD and more $. It's quite easy for someone in Bangkok , like myself to know dozens of educated rich Thais. So the proportion of wealthy Thais is quite high here. Your statistic of your GF village is anecdotal as well. Why do you think the real Thailand is some crappy village? You can also meet and get to know some real Thais in a bar time to time too. So eight years away from them really doesn't make someone an expert in anything. Cheers

Just don't let any Americans near the elephants, especially the pregnant ones. That's my only thought on this.

You should have received a lot more "THUMBS UP" icons on this post!!

Two Big Macs, two large fries, a large soda and a piece of cheese cake.

Sounds very watered down. Just head over to Silom this year.

You had me at "local council ". I mean really? What are your property taxes here on a condo in Hua Hin?

You are not getting ripped off! It's in your head. A percentage doesn't really matter when you are texting about 300 baht!! Or $8.45! An air fare going up that small amount is NOT ripping you off.

You are waaay to early and if you book you are the exact reason why prices are high right now.

$10. I'd get over it. Did you complain about how low the fares were before? Because they were.

I'm glad you asked. I talked to a lot of people it was so easy for me there , it doesn't happen in Thailand because I go to heavy tourist areas less and less. Every night in Hoi An (4) you are sitting extremely close to other tables and also waiting in line at some good restaurants ( this was the end of tet) then having a beer outside later at night so in Hoi An probably 27-30 people. In one night two tables were right next to mine and my friends and there were 14 of us talking for about 30 min we all overlapped. Later in the nights as mentioned maybe another 3 or 4 people. In Danang my friend and I sat next to a table of four. Also went to a tourist place outside of Danang Bana Hills and the topic came up again while having wine at this somewhat famous wine place. Saigon is full of tourists going all over Asia and the Main Street there is extremely easy to plop yourself down and chat with other travelers most nights ( I went out two) spoke to 15/17 easily. Went to a gym twice and it's just easy to have conversations there as well. Nearly everyone was a traveling foreigner. So I'd say about 60. Mostly all were spending a lot of time in Vietnam and more than 60% all going to Cambodia or Just came from there. Several mentioned they were only at the airport changing planes in Bangkok. A few had been a long time back and weren't going , most just said they were not going to Thailand. Nomads seem to spend time in Singapore and KL came up several times before or after Vietnam / Cambodia.

They are in Vietnam spending tons of money everywhere! The digital nomads and pure backpackers often look the same now and seem to get on quite well. Vietnam is busting with tourists and the majority I met are skipping Thailand. It's really too bad.

Does that really personally bother you? Sounds a bit coward ish to give almost exact location to a general forum. Why not just tattle tale on him yourself?

I highly recommend YouTube to watch old Saturday Night Live skits with Debbie Downer. You will def relate to her.
