Doctor John

I wish someone would send me £100 per week!

Awwww, nobody loves you enough.

At least most other avatar pics have flesh on the Bones.

You seem such a nice guy, I am sure people will go out of their way to help you.

Good luck.

How many guys or girls here have been divorced ?

I am Divorced 2 times.

One English, One French.

Suprisingly these Bozo's always come from the uk ????

Why the surprise?

Worst woman I ever met for lies was my first wife who was English, who just pips my Mother for the title.

Niether of whom where bargirls, although if my Mother had charged instead of giving it to every Tom , Dick and Harry for free while my Father was at work, she would have made a few quid, that's for sure.

And the biggest liars I have met in Thailand where not Thai, fellow farangs leave them for dead.

Erco reincarnated ?   

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Thought you were Erco, TBH. After all, you joined well after he left - how do you hear about such things?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Me Erco ? Haha...............

Not a chance. Try the complete opposite to Erco, you will be on the right track.

Yes Erco did go to Dave's club in pattaya, as indeed I also went, but we are not the same person.

Man  BIG SPUDS should have kept his mouth shut that she was a former bargirl. 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Why ?

I know she doesnt want my money.

Then why does she keep the 100 pounds you send her every month?

Can you really not see that she's making a nice income for herself by taking money every month from you and half a dozen other idiots just like you?

That's why she doesn't want to come and live with.

In simple English, she doesn't love you a jot.

Erco reincarnated ?

You should do a search and re-open the old threads about B/G letters to their conscripts !! This will enlighten you as to your current situation. Well at least it is another side to an all too familiar story !!

Ned, Bargirl threads are banned on this site now.

Even though this is turning into one.

I know people that know him , he's not as bad as they say , people change....

Chon , I first met Chris over 13 years ago in Pattaya, before he ever got 'The Dogs &lt;deleted&gt;', he ain't a bad lad at all.

Not so Chubby now either.

I am a Charlton Athletic supporter, Nobody really hates Charlton.

Emlyn was a good bloke.

RIP.

MK Suki.

Swensens.

Chris "Chubby" Henderson is a nice guy actually.

Don't believe all you read in the papers.

How Does Your Thai Think?

Makes it seem like you are talking about a pet.

Maybe the distrust comes from the fact that many Farang in Thailand do have a tendency to tell lies.

I also have learnt not to trust or believe anybody that I do not know well, I have been cheated and lied to by so many fellow Farangs I have lost count.

14 Years living in Pattaya, I have heard a lot of stories.

Special Forces, SAS, Navy Seals, Astronauts, Millionaires who live in a Fan room that costs 1800 Baht per month, guys that will inherit millions soon, and could I lend them 500 Baht till their money gets sent over next week.

Not saying that you are like that, but I have met many that are.

Trust comes in time, you have to earn it.

Simon,

for a price, they may let you have use of the Hotel Pool without booking a room. I know some hotels in Pattaya do just that.

Hi guys, I will be building a house in Isaan, for you guys that live there, do you have any regrets about moving up country?

I will be near Phu kradung, in Loei. It is a lovely area, cool in the winter, cold evenings in fact. I do have a Pick up, so I will not be stuck in a village, 2 Hours from Khon kaen taking an easy drive, probably the same to Udon.

I lived in Pattaya for a long time, then I was working away in another country, went back to Pattaya and thought " what a shithole ", so I went up country, and I must say it looks a very attractive place to make a home, I have already bought some land and I will be making a house.

I think I will still keep my place ( rental ) in Pattaya as well, just in case I do need to get away at times, plus I have friends there.

I would Imagine there are many Farangs that moved up country from the main tourist areas, any regrets chaps? Ever wish you had not moved?

I really do think I will like it, but as many guys here have lived up country for a period of time, I would like to get some feedback on other peoples views.

Cheers.

Anybody have any idea why I cannot copy and paste when I am in Bkkchat, yet I can in other sections of ThaiVisa website?

I would put it in the bank with my other 9 mill.

I am gonna build a house, and it will not be in my name.

And that actually makes my life a whole lot easier.

I will still keep my rental in Pattaya.

This thread is very much remind me of the first time when I arrived in UK and couldn't speak very good English. I lost count how many time I was called stupid just because I couldn't understand some British accent (and they couldn't understand me) A few of my student friends also had similar experiences. One said he got a master degree in Economic but got called stupid because he couldn't speak much English! It s same to me got 2 degrees but got called stupid.   I used to get upset about it but later on told myself that at least I could speak English a bit but my Thai was perfect and those people who called me stupid couldn't speak nothing in Thai!

  Anyway, this sort of insulting farangs won't get in Thailand when you can't speak Thai properly. We find it endearing and respect for you to try to learn Thai and no Thai will call you stupid either, if we don't understand you 

  Oh and don't forget Thai logic according to the Thai proverb

  Tum dai tam jai kue Thai tae= do what you want to do is the real Thai!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Well said.

Farangs do tend to have a superiority complex in Thailand.

Sad really, most of the farangs in Thailand could not make it in their own country.

Is That Really Him?? 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

No, it's a cardboard cut out.

I am a Farang myself, but i am amazed that when a farang cannot understand another culture, he calls them stupid people.

Tell me something...........how do you think you would get along if you was dumped in the middle of 'The Amazonian rain forrest', how would you survive?

Do you think you would be able to do all the things that one of the Rain forrest Natives do to survive in such an enviroment, would he think you where rather stupid because you did not know how to survive without his help? You would be very grateful to that guy, you would not survive alone.

But if you met this same Rain Forrest Native in a modern city, you would call him stupid because you could not understand why he was so confused in a city enviroment. But is he stupid, or is it that you just do not understand another persons culture and psyche.

Because you do not understand another persons ways , it does not mean they are stupid, it means You do not understand.   

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

This says it all, in my opinion.

My experience is that Thais are very concerned about the other person (greng jai)

And Thais can think and solve problems as well as anyone else IMHO.

My TGF solves problems for us all the time. She cannot tell you where Yugoslavia is, but she can fix a problem as well or better than me. And I have an MS in Engineering from a top tier school.

I think this whole thread is just a statement about how little Farangs understand about Thailand and it's culture. And when you do not understand, the easy way out of the embarrassment is to blame the other guy rather than find out what he/she was thinking and why ?

Cheers ..........

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

You got that right.

Try showing the figure of 300,000 on a piece of paper to some Thais and sometimes you'll see them counting the numerals in reverse. It's as though they're saying "Units. Tens of units. Hundreds...etc."

Whereas we just glance at a figure for a nano second and we can read what the number is.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Its because you show it to a person that does not usually associate with such a high number, many Farangs do associate with high numbers.

Show it to a bank teller or a businessman and there will be no problem.

You can also show the same figure to some Farangs and they will also struggle.
