  1. Dr Olivier is a farang
  2. Don't pick on the ...bingo ! I remember when I was a kid going with my parents ,the number caller was saying funny names to describe the numbers ..."two day ladies ...88 ... Wonder if he could say that nowadays?
  3. I note that some go go bars have their staff in "schoolgirl" theme uniform I doubt they have PTSD from it
  4. Aand the salary is not much better fast forward 20 years What did happen to all those farang english teachers back in the early 2000's? They used to be a lot in that Ajarn forum complaining about everything
  5. Did you say you moved back to the USA?
  6. If you need a partner in Pattaya you probably paying for it
  7. Very interesting There is actually a book written by a Pattaya bookshop owner in his experience working with pedophiles in the UK ,I think he mentions this guy
  8. Let's face it you have no people skills ,your a angry man with a chip on his shoulder 😡
  9. Teaching was big in Thailand for farangs back in the 90's and early 2000's Nowadays you rarely hear of it on the forums I know there's a lot of age discrimination though ,most advertise no.older than 50
  10. Pete Smith? And then after Pete ?
  11. You can go somewhere like Canterbury Tales bookshop cafe and there used to be farang expats who would sit there ALL day to chat with others as they were all bored <deleted>less Some everyday But Susan is right , you need a PARTNER if your moving to Asia to retire It's going to be Lonely...boring ...depressing...sad ....without !!!
  12. Many of us are "academic" and much intellectuallly gifted It's unfortunate that we must also reside on a forum with those who don't share our academic qualities !!!!!
  13. Well I always like to hear two sides of the story .. after that recent violence with the Pattaya security guards and farangs Today I watched a recent YouTube video of a retired Australian guy who opened up a bar just a few days ago...just a few days ago !!! ,no experience at all in the bar ,, retired to Hua Hin and opened it last week Only open two nights before he too is assaulted by a drunken young farang who claims his bill was padded. Now I don't have two sides of the story but the older Australian owner said he had to run behind the bar as the guy got violent , obviously has no security the poor old ..... according to him the Thai bar girls had to save him The patron said his bill was padded and become violent!!!!!!!😡🤬 I don't go I to bars very much ,maybe once on a trip...now to you bar mongers is violence particularly among the young farang in Thailand places like Pattaya Phuket and even HH becoming much worse than say 20 years ago? These younger farangs with tattoos,baseball caps,Nike shirts ,red Nike trainer shoes👟 ,gold chains 🧢🧢are the type to look for loutish behaviour? I'm talking about nowadays not 30 years ago when we had soccer hooligans but nowadays with THIS GENERATION travelling to Thailand. Those ok nes causing trouble 30 years ago are now on Zimmer frames Do you avoid some establishments? Have you been attacked or felt scared in a bar in Thailand?
  14. Yes apparently Neck Cracking can be dangerous I had SCIATICA a few years ago,the pain went down my side leg. The chiropractor was useless It healed on its own eventually I As for my back I need it walked in every week and cracked back into place ,I had my nephew walk on it last week ,Crack Crack crack it sounds especially in my lower back . Unfortunately in Thailand I could not find a Thai big enough to walk and crack my back ;I could hardly walk until I came across a overweight motorbike taxi driver who I paid 100b to quickly walk over my back loud cracks into place best feeling in ages ,far better than sex
  15. I heard he had passed away ( before Covid) I think he was a mature aged farang if I recall
  16. Are doctors exempt?
  17. Fantastic idea and best of luck. Is that going to be a FIFO fly in to the mining you have in Western Australia? Regardless I think doing a bit of casual work in your home country is good, unfortunately age can wreck that idea unless your a doctor or office type work
  18. Does it crack your back. Crack ya neck ya back and ... Wasn't there a techno song like this in the early 2000's? Crack my neck..crack my back ...crack my A..crack !
  19. Someone to push your wheelchair is cheaper isn't it .....wheels🧑‍🦽🧑‍🦽🧑‍🦽
  20. Age of sexual consent is usually 16 on 95% of places
  21. Yet you have never experienced life ,you claim you cycle a bike but never done any Philippines islands , unbelievable
  22. And you have a life (not boring) wherever you are? I presume Korat?
  23. I agree , I also have no interest in that ! When I was in Manila Philippines last month I was fascinated by the Manila North Cemetery 🪦 Many of us are interested in cemetaries and hospitals Mind you I was spending most of my time in their subway too ,loved it I have absolutely no interest in bars or pretend paid4rent ladies
  24. Hopefully they are in the minority People need to be treated for this sickness and they cause harm to others, probably because this Scottish guy may have had a bad childhood himself!
  25. Oh I agree ! Much much more to do in Bangkok in terms of Lumpini park ,markets ,bookshops where academics go , artisan cafes Libraries etc and intelligence conversation Try talking in Pattaya to a group of farangs about data statistics and analyst and you are met with blank stares The only person who was interested in data analyst and psychtechnics was the owner of Canterbury Tales bookshop in Pattaya who was fascinated on my subjects !
