Another fine example.

If someone else's happiness makes you this angry, you've got serious issues.

I use Uber alone all the time. So does my wife. Neither of us has been raped yet.

I thought they moved here for a sense of misplaced self grandeur. To each their own. 

A fine example of the kind of weird reaction touched upon earlier in this thread. I'm just happy here. If that upsets you in some way, surely that's your problem?

It could happen to anyone...

I'll let you have a look for 500. 

The impression I get from reading this forum is that those who came to Thailand because they thought easy access to booze and women would make them happy rarely seem to actually end up happy. Those who came here for other reasons often seem more content. 

I moved here because I liked the place - and years later I still do. 

Those social media icons at the top of the page are maybe just a smidge too big now, don't you think?

It's not a scam just because you don't have sense enough to examine the product before you buy it.

I don't really understand how that's a scam. They sell products tailored to the local market. They're more affordable, but lower quality. You pay less, you get less. No scam involved.

To support your case, here is a newspaper article from 1969. Pretty sure the military were in charge back then as well.

I bet somebody wrote in to the letters page to say Bangkok was no fun any more, or predicting it would be the death of the Thai tourist industry...

You must be getting some awesome tripadvisor reviews. 

The usual paranoiacs and miseries claiming one news story means Bangkok is no fun any more.

Meanwhile some of us are having a whale of a time. 

I'm fascinated by what some people will try and sell on facebook here. 

'Plastic spoon - 20 baht'_.

Weeeeell, when it comes to Mr.Angry's, and perhaps some folk tell porkies on here, and folk here calling me a liar, l can plant the seed that l could ask a member to corroborate my words. But of course I don't give a stuff...Nobody can catch me out on anything, l like being honest..

Who called you a liar?

Sometimes it's like you're having a completely different conversation to the rest of us.

How true, retirement can be dull, I no longer build engines and drag race, l no longer have my angling boat based on the south cost of the UK, l no longer have my fire arms and ammo making machine. So yes retirement can be very dull, but even at my age I do go and lift weights in between beer swilling and singing songs.. But if I was as grumpy and as negative as yourself l think l would have to find a high rise balcony.

 

As for where I live, well my two story is on the banks of a lake, and it ain't made of bamboo....

 

Oh, a few members here have been to my place.....

Dude, why would we care who's visited your house?

It's always interesting to see how some people are threatened by anything that shakes their concept of Thailand as a refuge for farang men fleeing the oppression of western feminism.

The average Thai (more than 50%) never meets a Farang woman in person.  You live in Bangkok and are absolutely clueless about the majority of Thailand.  

Wow. 

Are you sure you're not confusing Thai people with some untouched Amazonian tribe?

Kind of like asking a guy who has moved to Iceland how many Australian Aborigines he has met in Reykjavik.  It's just weird.  

Not really. There are loads of farang women here. Some of you just don't appear to meet any of them.

Which sites are you using?

I don't need to - I'm a happily married man.

I guess when trolling Thai visa gets old, moving on to trolling dating websites makes sense.

Percentage wise there is not a huge amount of western women on Tinder here...
i guess I don't tick enough boxes...
Im going to change my profile to a more professional sounding gentleman next week...see if I get any right swipes.
I mentioned before...my profile is currently tailored towards Thai women

 

Why would you do that, if you're not interested in dating farang women?

6 days a week from 5PM to 2AM plus extras.  Wearing 4 inch spike heels and dancing minimum 5 hours per day.  Bruises from pingpong ball chasing events and falling while dancing.  Teachers have it made.  There is a reason teachers make 20,000 baht and go go dancers 50,000 - work.  

The teachers I know earn a lot more than 50k.

It is just as unsafe for single Farang women trying to live here as well as tourists.  I think the experience is a double edged sword because although iet might prevent some dangerous situations - familiarity might encourage others.    

I know plenty of single Farang women who live here successfully - I think you're being a bit patronising there. 

Sadly, there are risks for women everywhere, but I don't think they're particularly more pronounced here than anywhere else.

I'm not talking about tourists.
