Gluttonous fatties should feel ashamed of all the waste and destruction they create, all the space they take up, their morbid overconsumption.
Pay up for the damage you caused, and no further whining. You owe that to the cinema.

My dear Tubby, I am not given to gluttony. You obviously confuse gluttony with being overweight or confuse gluttony for having a love and vast appreciation of food.
South Koreans are one of the World's most prolific wasters and consumers of food yet people do not think of S.koreans as being 'fatties'. Next time you go to a Korean BBQ or buffet observe the wastage of food.
I pose you this Sir: You are walking down the road here in Thailand and you step on a drain cover. The drain cover gives way and you fall into the hole. By your reasoning the mere act of you stepping on that drain cover makes you liable for the damage you caused to the drain cover.
I can blissfully step on drain covers as I am in proper shape, not in need of a construction crane to lift me off the floor after every broken-chair mishap. I don't gorge on food but exercise mature restraint.
However, if I were a morbidly obese gelatinous sack of blubber, ...
You are svelte and sleek and superbly proportioned while being as sure footed as a graceful gazelle! Sir i applaud your stupendous conditioning!
But as for the scenario I posed.
If you did step on a faulty drain cover and it broke...you would pay for the damage of the drain cover?
My dear, in proper body shape you might be, but exercise your mind. Exercise your mind!

In defense of the OP, everything in this country is made for someone the size of a child. If he goes on a diet, he still won't fit. Very few of us will.
In many circumstances I would agree with you but the cinema chairs here in Thailand are luxurious by Western cinema standards. The chairs wide and the backs high. Most Thai people sink deep into the chair and from behind it can be difficult to know if the chair is taken or not from behind.
On another point one member mentioned: When I stated I sat in my favourite seat I did not mean per se that I sit in this actual physical chair every time I go to the cinema. We go to the cinema regularly and I have seen around 200 films in Thailand in a variety of different cinemas. I have a favorite row number and seat number (on the aisle) so any cinema we attend I will request this seat when purchasing the ticket.
Never before i have had a cinema chair break on me, nor ANY chair break under my weight. The conclusion there is that this cinema chair was faulty or maybe broken before I sat down?
The eagerness and certainty with which i was accused and then expected to pay for the chair is what put me in a tizz.

Thailand. I just don’t know whether I should laugh or cry.
Personally I would be embarrassed to relate such a story on TV. You're a fat, gay man complaining about being treated unfairly because you broke a cinema seat and run to TV for validation. Sorry, you won't be getting it from me.
Personally Dude, I suggest you don't feel embarrassed about what other's might think of you.
I am certain that not having your validation is validation enough I am in the right
Now, which of the following is it that you don't like about me?
a. That i was complaining?
b. That I am fat?
c. That I am gay?

No where is it written that if you break a chair from sitting then you are responsible if you are just sitting in it .
True. But I doubt the seats were designed and manufactured to withstand 120 kilograms. Not casting aspersions, but it would be interesting to see a video of how the OP lowered himself into the seat. Was it a normal, slow movement, or did he flop down into it quickly? Just wondering.
You make a good point...... heavy guys rarely lower themselves gently but thump down heavily, as anybody who has been behind one in an aircraft probably knows.
And when they are behind you, they pull themselves up using your headrest.
Fancy using cronyism to get out of your obvious responsibility. (TIC)
Like this guy?
Do any of you gentleman own your own scales?? The gentleman in the photo must weigh 400 pounds AT LEAST. That is 180+ Kilograms. I am not a man of anywhere near that great a girth!
120 kilograms is not unusual these days as anyone who has travelled back to the States can attest to!
As for the seat sitting down action; I flipped the seat down and lowered myself onto it reasonably gently. I was carrying a soda and popcorn at the time.
The comparison with an airline seat is spurious and shows it must be a long time since you have visited a cinema in Thailand. The spacing between cinema rows is very generous and leaning forward to use the seat in front of you would be of little assistance in exiting from a seat.

I bet you would have Kung <deleted> chopped him from the skills learned in a previous special forces life if he didn't back down!
I am a physical lover, not a physical fighter though I am certainly not ashamed of the verbal stoush that was ha
The manager was a she, not a he.

I can see why they were laughing. I mean how do you actually break a cinema chair just by sitting on it? It isn't one of those chairs with legs mind you cos those are easier to break it's cinema chairs with the folded in seats and they are sturdy as hell and it still broke.
Might i ask OP is your missus tiny next to you? I can imagine her like a 3 yr old kid next to you i doubt she's big.
You seem obsessed with my weight dear boy, that is two posts now you have commented.
Please, stop inundating me with your PMs asking me to send you special photos of myself

Kind of curious, how much is a Thai cinema chair worth?
I do not know what a chair is worth nor its replacement cost and the question is not relevant to this discussion at all.
Just one of many questions that must be asked is why should a cinema patron be expected to pay for wear and tear on an item that thousands of people have plonked their ample posteriors into? The chair clearly has a design fault and poses a danger to customers such as myself. Who is to say what initially triggered the design fault that led to the chair cracking?
Not once did staff or management ask about my health or well being and while I was uninjured from the chair a simple enquiry from any member of the cinema staff would have been appropriate if not a pre requisite of such a situation. I am of course a paying customer using their provided equipment and I could have been injured.

Sorry, for your mishappen OP, but I bet the Thais enjoyed it more than the actual film.
I bet his "Mrs" lost a lot of face for sure..............
Or in this particular case, his Mr.
Hence my "...", but I think his "...." wished the OP lost a lot of ass in this case...........
Sorry OP, we jest..........
I take no offence Mon Cheri.
As a practising Muslim and openly gay man I have had a lifetime of jokes at my expense. My skin is as thick as a Rhinos.
My partner has been with me for a very very long time and spent much time in the West. Far from being shamed or embarrassed he was possibly more outraged than myself and willingly took up the casue without prompting or unease. A true keeper and life partner this one.

Entertaining OP. Thanks very much.
Now use the humiliation as motivation to go on a diet.
Oh, you misunderstand. I didn't feel humiliation at all, just anger and outrage at this clearly ridiculous situation.
I am a tall large man and not ashamed of my weight one iota. The pleasures of good food is one of the rainbows life serves up to me.

On Friday we took our in-laws out to see Edge of Tomorrow with Tom Cruise at a cinema near Bang Kapi.
We bought a 205 baht set each, went through the ridiculous security checks, and into our favourite seat row and numbers, I always take the aisle seat.
When I sat down my seat cracked. It wasn’t the loudest of cracks and I didn’t fall off but the chair cracked and sloped sideways rendering it unusable. I am not a small guy, weighing about 260 pounds (120 kilos), but I have sat in cinema chairs regularly in Pattaya and Bangkok and back in other various countries without any issue. Cinema chairs have to be rated to regularly hold strong loads. The movie is in English, subtitled Thai so clearly the cinema is geared for farangs.
My mistake was to inform the cinema staff what had happened. With my partner in tow I went and told the cinema staff about the chair. With the trailers and commercials into their thirtieth minute, quite a crowd started to gather to look at my chair. First one cinema torch bearer, then two, then three, then four, then a few of the actual cinema paying crowd came for a look and some discussion. The surreal moment was when the national anthem started up and the small crowd of about ten people around my chair stood in silence until the anthem finished, then they started up the pointing and laughing again!
This is where it got even more ridiculous if possible: My partner insisted we escort our gaggle of cinema attendants outside to finish the conversation. About this time some type of manager came up to us. She spoke almost exclusively to my partner in Thai. I was expecting some type of apology but no! She actually wanted me to pay for the chair. Pay for the chair! Outrageous! She was pointing at me and calling me fat and telling me partner it was my fault the chair broke.
I almost went ballistic like a crazed banshee i was so infuriated. I admit i started to point my finger at the female manager and i got quite agitated and animated and even started mocking her but luckily I retained a modicum of self control or it could have gotten ugly for me. The cinema security guards had joined the lively conversation at this stage and the word ‘farang’ was being used in desultory terms.
I demanded to see her manager, someone higher up than whatever level 3rd assistant manager she was. She refused and kept saying her boss was not available and she was sorry but we would have to pay for the broken chair.
This ludicrous situation might never have ended had it not been for my partner’s stroke of genius. He pulled out his smartphone and started filming the manager and her minions while making some commentary in Thai about what was happening. He stopped filming then brought up a selfie on his facebook of himself and a well known Thai media figure. Although the selfie was a random encounter in the restaurant of a 5 star Hotel, he started to tell the assistant manager this was his best friend and he would be sending his video to the friend and it would be on TV and there would be big trouble.
The manager backed right off then and started to apologise and grovel and now it was all a misunderstanding!
What would have happened if we hadn’t pulled the ‘friends in high places’ routine or if I had been there by myself?
Thailand. I just don’t know whether I should laugh or cry.

I never found Western guys my cup of tea...well maybe Italian men...and Spanish.
I love my Asian men (not the Japanese!) and they accept me and my health and body issues.
For me, Asians everytime

OP, I am sooooo pleased to see a proud gay man like yourself doing his bit. Those twins are adorable little tykes.
P.S
Everyone knows that gay men make the best Big Daddies

My In laws asked for 2 million baht and my partner is a man. I love my in laws but that was a nonsensical grab for something friends and family must have told them they should have.
We remain in love and unmarried

Didn't come into contact with any Russians, although the evidence that there many around is clear with most signs in Russian as well as English.
In the small market at the top of Soi 5, some of the Thai food stalls don't have English yet do have Russian advertising thier food.
Perhaps in the week I was there the Russians were having a break away Jomtien
Fact. The peskie ruskies tend to be found on the baht buses, where they spend most of their day

The first series was the truly great one where Richard won. Not many prime time shows then had a gay as the villain AND the hero.
Richard Hatch, we salute you sir!

Despite new road markings being installed, some road users were either not aware of the markings or chose to ignore them altogether.
Why change a lifetime habit of driving by beginning to pay attention to the road signs and rules?

Good Question.
We came home early to find our maid of several years using one of our Adult Toys to froth up her iced chocolate. When asked she answered she liked the iced chocolate farang style (frothy).
We never drank one of her iced chocolate again.

Dude, please take it home! NOW!!!
I'm sick of Soi dogs chasing me along my home road. Being overweight and using a cane is no fun at the best of times and when you have a pack of snarling vicious dogs sniffing and snarling around your arse it is downright scary!

We had some adult sex toys shipped from the US labelled as electronics that never arrived.
About 2 weeks after expected delivery the gals n guys at the local post office had big smiles on their faces that lasted for months.

Oh my! Your posting style reminds me of a 7 watt light globe. Not terribly bright and it struggles to achieve any purpose.
Why would my government fix the drain cover that you accidentally broke in Thailand? I thought we had agreed that you were going to fix anything that you broke as a matter of great principle.
Whenever you meet a 'fatty' like myself you can pull out your two special validation cards. The first one showing you belong to a gym and are proper fit ( ) and the second one being the receipt for the drain cover you fixed...
