Yes !!! Lol 😅

You sound like you have a good heart

I'm only a hospital cleaner! I don't get it EK Please explain

I will join you in the flybird condominium in Pattaya We can go halves in the 3000 baht rent per month,even share the same bed ,

Oh lodge a complaint!!

You can't go through life like this. You may need other company sometimes rather than avoiding everyone and sitting by yourself especially if you retire to say Pattaya Not everyone will bite for money so you can't avoid everyone just in case

Well I'm poor myself

I was just watching a YouTube video on how many expats lose money by lending money to other expats , many they hadnt known long . Met them in a bar or even neighbours, meeting each other after a few weeks then apparently they bite ,asking you to lend them money because they are going through a tough time I only had that once in all my trips and funnily enough it was at the view Talay 2B condo building where I befriended a older expat and after a few weeks he tried to bite after asking questions over the few weeks about my financial situation George he said can I borrow 20,000 baht to pay my rent,I will get the pension on Thursday and pay you back but the landlord wants it today or he is kicking me out !!! The hardest thing was saying NO to20k especially as he was crying so I lent him 5k But his true colours he was still in view talay a few weeks later and didn't talk to me and avoided me I didn't get my 5k back My question to you is have you ever been "bitten " for loans of money ? And please may I only get answers regarding farang expats only ,not Thai people asking you !!! Is there expats you know who do this full time,? Bludging for money ? Do they pay you back ,I mean there must be genuine ones ,how do you say NO ? What if they are crying ?

Well Pattaya is a lot cheaper than Phuket

The last few days I have done a lot of walking as I gained a few kilos whilst Thailand eating the 99 baht big breakfast's etc Today I decided to eat healthy and cooked chicken But...half way through I developed a sweet tooth I craved chocolate 🍫 We have this brilliant app in Australia called Milkrun similar to Grab delivery where usually within 30 minutes they deliver "junk food" to you I got onto milkrun to arrange a delivery of Kit Kats, Snickers and Caramello bears out As soon as it arrives I ate the whole lot for my dinner I felt good The question is why did I crave it ?

I guess this forum has helped you immensely I look at the ASEAN forum not as a business as such..but a community welfare support service God only knows what would happen if it wasn't here ,half of you wouldnt know what to do with yourselves Thankyou to ASEAN forum and all its the business sponsors in saving people

There is no need for violence They deserve to have anger management counselling

Quite right! And many live in Government owned social housing paying minimum rent and are on either unemployment or disability pension AND working "cash in hand " Jobs at a job mowing lawns or washing dishes etc Truly the lucky country for these people!!

Oh please there's no need for homophobia, try to be proud of diversity and congratulate him/ her on their diverse choices in life Even compliment him on his clothes and later use reverse psychology and tell him opposite

What about sewing? Do you like sewing ,I know some people have that as a interest for some reason,it was rather strange to read that

Absolutely beautiful! And these are the many reasons I read asean forum Thankyou for your contribution

Beautiful post and your post reminded me of that song "I beg your pardon....I never promised you a rose garden !

Oh please you remind me of Mrs Jessop from The Sullivan's,veil over your face peering out the window at the neighbours trying to get into their business

What a brilliant man our Prime Minister is ! And today I received another signed reply from Mr Albanese in relation to my letter of complaint about the Medicare system He is going to look into my complaints and do something to overhaul this expensive Medicare Thankyou prime Minister

I don't think there's any need to be "nosy" I recently had a work colleague ask me the same thing on my return from Thailand and unfortunately I had to explain boundaries

Very beautiful and interesting post One must ponder do "routines" become boring ?

What are the toilets like there? I remember going to that Issaan Concert place last visit on third Rd with another farang and his GF The first thing I did was check the cleanliness of the toilets , I was disappointed and went to a staff member to ask for the manager Finally after 20 minutes I spoke to a Duty manager who arranged the cleaning The couple I went with left after I complained leaving me with the bill unfortunately I never even got to drink my sprite as I was trying to find who was in charge , meanwhile the couple I went with left !!

They work in Thailand too? you've said this before, I have never seen an old expat stacking shelves at Foodland like you said ,the closest I saw was some old farang fixing machines at Tony's gym and a farang serving at Cheap Charlies Jomtien . Of course theres a few old guys on Grindr with services available. I think it's fantastic you work it gives you something to do and if your hard up more money Thankyou for your service Sir and contribution to the Community and giving back rather than taking

And I bet you take full advantage of the free specs provided by myself as a taxpayer!!

Maybe your a rich one who did nothing but "take" from the system during your working life which was probably on taxpayers expense ,cushy pen pusher who called in sick every Monday morning The other half who can't afford such luxurious life maybe on frozen pensions from the UK or on aussie old age pensioners living in Thailand on a fixed income
