I shouldn’t think that you are the only one to not see it, most respondents don’t think that going shirtless in public reflects badly on themselves.

Do you have tattoos by any chance ?

Hello dear members,

The year is coming to an end. Time for reflection i would say and to look ahead.

We all are connected to this country, out if choice mostly, for various different reasons and we all bring our own personal history with us by living in this land.

We all see the day to day goings on in this nation, which is on many matters different then where we come from originally ( is it really though ? )

What is it what you would like to change here and what is it which you consider is better here than where you come from ?

Thailand is in our hearts !

Whats the attraction of living there ?

Apart from the mrs ofcourse.

She is aware he is involved with an Isaan girl who he met on holiday, she is far brighter than your troll self or her father.

In all fairness, i would not consider OP to be a troll. He seems like a man who cares. And is consistent.

To add to swissie's comment.

There is another category, "Grumpy/Angry Old Men'.

This species has often gone through the married a hooker/ 'cashier' which turned them into the zealot 'Protector' beast. As the 'cashier' turns out to still a hooker, or at least the direct debit machine, 'The Protector' morphs into an Thailand hating 'Grumpy Old Man'

I wish it wasn't true, but been seen it more time than I care to remember

Is marrying a hairdresser included too ?

Goodness knows what this is about but sexually harrassing multiple women in front of his daughter holding his wife by the hair at fox TV which was presumably downstairs, is quite a feat!

Wow, You certainly are doing your best to hijack this thread.

 

I notice someone has already called BS on your drivel - see post #298 by Been there done that.

 

You continue to post useless off-topic content but refuse to answer Been there done that...

 

Looking forward to you growing a set and responding to him.

 

In the meantime, also looking looking forward to hearing from other Dads who have been in this situation and how they dealt with it - see final paragraph of Post #1

 

 

I agree, when somebody asks a question it is polite to give an answer. 

Manners have not been taught apparantly.

Jeeeezzzzz was a gangster.

By the tone of your posts and replies you seem to have a problem with Buddhist Thailand and the wearing of attire.

I assume you come from a country with no corruption, lying and cheating and which one of the a.o. is allowed abbreviations out of a 100 or so do you mean.

No and yes.

Been there done that, maybe you should tell us where you went and what you did so that we can avoid making the same mistake.

No mistakes mate, only observation, understanding the lingo and a critical mind. Best way to know what thais really think is to not let them know you know/understand their language.

So start learning thai. With your shirt on ofcourse.

As I said before I don't wear a shirt only shorts around my house area but I wouldn't do that going outside into our village as I like to look respectable for my sake as well as my wife.

If there is anyone in our village that don't wear shirts it's always farangies if they approach me to ask me something like some do, l tell em better you put your shirt in this village because it's a Buddhist village.

Couldn't give a a hoot if they do it elsewhere.

...because its a buddhist village.  Where corruption, lying and cheating a.o. is allowed. But always with a shirt on.

Jeeeezzzzz

I have zero desire to "date" a woman that looks old, so you are correct.

Then dont be surprised that those young women see you as only an ATM.

I still vote for the daughter.

"Like" my post if you agree.

Does the fact that you haven’t corrected distain mean that you don’t know that it’s wrong?

Yes.

Funny how a plenty of thai women admire my divine body when i walk around shirtless.

I have checked my posts and can only find one spelling mistake ‘distain’ in my first post. I didn’t check my latest post since you didn’t read it!

And irrelevent of course I can be depended on with that word.

One can but try

 

The fact is that everyone likes to think they've got life here sewn up all tickety-boo.

It's only when things are put on paper and scrutinized objectively that you see who's actually going through life with their ass hanging out in the wind.

 

Living in isolation in deep, undiscovered Isaan putting land, houses and motor vehicles in the wife's name is risking a financial extinction level event and, frankly, it's usually (not always) the blokes who come here with the "kid in a sweet shop" mentality who end up wiped out.

 

Sweet can turn into sour in the blink of an eye. Hardly possible to happen if not for the enablers.

I play Snooker at a very nice club, I am constantly challenged by people who want to play and beat the Falang.   it may be hot but it never ceases to amaze me how many have there shirts/ Tshirts pulled up to their necks. Ugly, sure is. Just take it off if its that hot.

Are you Jimmy White in real life perhaps ?

Has anyone actually complained about you though through proper channels? Or is it just more of a police throwing their weight around the area type thing? Police cannot guarantee you not being prosecuted, as if people do complain the Governor can give you the exact fine the police can.

Where I live the Mayor is ex-army, knows personally and is even more powerful than the actual army tribunal, but still the Tessaban officials under him fear the tribunal as if they haven't done proper investigations their position will be at risk. It is purely a matter of law as there are always plan b and c on option for the people complaining. Thailand is quite similar to Western countries with nuisance law I have found, but only lawyers or officials seem to know about it (why they live better lives I guess). 

Was why I then included the post about the trucks not paying taxes as they pay police to protect them. The police threatened my local Mayor, found out he was army and let it rest (whereas a trumped up corruption charge/ruin reputation probably would have been on the cards for taking them on). The city police boss also sometimes have people ring up and complain about our Mayor, to which the police respond, he is army and bigger than us. Some places are different, but it more comes down to people failing to go through the right channels. The OP has many options either way if he chooses to go down the path.

If he pursues the matter he will follow the path of selfdestruction.

Thanks, I just dont like dealing with drama at my old age. It is funny the games she plays. I call her on them every time. Like she says I know where you were?.. I know where I was too. Than she asks where were you? I tell her she already knows so I not have to tell her. One time she said a friend of hers said she saw me at some bar I have never been to. I demanded to talk to this friend. When she could not tell me the friends name, I made her go with me to the bar. I asked the owner and the bartender if I was there. They said no. They not know me. Later I found out who the friend was that said I was there. I told her if she lied about me again she would have big problems. now all her friends know not to talk shit about me. I follow up on everything and not let bullshitters go on spreading lies. Thais are not use to someone doing that. Suprises the shit out of them. 5555. 

This post made me laugh. There is a topic in it.

If a Westerner dates or marries someone whose entire life, interests and future are contained within a square mile of Nakhon Backwater, more often than not, he's setting himself up for a mind numbingly boring and unfulfilling liaison before the inevitable split.

Certain posters on this forum are on here literally half their waking hours so bored are they with illiterate, simple minded albeit younger women with little more interest in life beyond the composition of their next meal.

Living the dream apparently.

You combine irritation and excellence in your posts on this topic.

I too have found the same. Denial and reality is such an excellent way to put it all. When a newbie comes here, say to Pattaya, it is sure is not reality.

 

There are some good people out there in both the foreign and Thai world, and it takes years to see this. In daily life, I am also not meeting very many. I am at the point I keep much to myself for health reasons but what firm few friends I do have (like only 3) and the being is in reality that we are pretty happy here yet we as you mentioned, we most likely are in denail for the above reasons you described. 

 

Great post that is keeping it real.

Nothing wrong with it as long as long as you stay only emotionally attached to yourself.
