Usually when I encounter tech problems like this, my first instinct is to post it on a small forum with a handful of retiree expats and the occasional tourist in Thailand, completely bypassing millions upon millions of other people that are more tech savvy.

Well, last time I was at immigration, the IO was using Google translate, plus they have a BMW with an iPad in it, so I guess they are slowly catching up to technology.

@BLMFem You have been off the charts angry for so long. Just accept that you can’t play women’s sports and get on with life.

I couldn’t agree more. 👍 I commented on a troll post a few weeks ago and pointed out how different the forum is compared to what it once was and a poster replied to me that nothing has changed. He had been here less than a month. I was talking about back when it was TV. You’re right that a ton of this should be posted on social media if anywhere. Chronic posters asking ridiculous personal questions that couldn’t possibly lead to any useable information or value. Do you take your coffee with sugar and cream, how often do you stay up after 11pm, do you prefer cats or dogs, whatever. Lol. I just don’t see the point at all…except…to post as much fodder as possible and get on the posters of the week list. Ridiculous. Your also right about the political soapbox. It is mostly the same people posting the same stuff over and over, some multiple times per day, just to bicker. Why anyone would want to move to Thailand and spend so much time and energy arguing about American politics is beyond me. Makes me wonder if they even live in Thailand because I can think of a lot better things to do here.

I'm calling a spade a spade.

I know, man.. He's like a freak troll, though. Like not even living under a bridge and popping out at night. Like a sewer troll that sometimes walks around in broad daylight. It seems dangerous or unhealthy in a way because it's like watching a car accident in slow motion, then it devolves and becomes a full on train wreck that you are compelled to look at, but then you realize you are staring into a dumpster fire and then it's just a pile of puke and once you break the gaze, you just feel full of sorrow and pity for yourself and everyone else.

Nothing at all if you are asking me. I was saying @georgegeorgiahas posted that stuff numerous times and in very insulting and disrespectful manners. I wouldn't stoop so low ass to disrespect my elders or make blind statements about possible physical handicaps.

Yeah. That story was definitely true for you. You couldn’t even hack it in Pattaya. You were questioned by strangers for walking around and standing on the sidewalks and streets taking photos of people in hot tubs on their balcony. You wanted to go fishing on a charter boat, but wanted a discount because you knew no one else would be comfortable talking to you, but you didn’t think it was fair to pay the full price for the boat because you were just one person. When you first arrived here, you went on huge rants that if taxi drivers don’t use the meter, everyone should not only accept it, but should tip them extra. That’s probably one of the reasons you ran out of money in a couple months and moved back to Australia with your tail between your legs. And you started hugging and making out with the taxi driver. You insulted dozens and dozens of AN members by calling them grandpa, old man, saying we all walked with a cane, or to be careful that we don’t break a hip, etc. Always unfounded as no one was even hinting at age. You did that to me at least twice and later, you mentioned in a post that you were 62 years old, which is two decades older than me. You moved back to Australia and still came back to post on here that you were back home and working, but all of your coworkers avoided eye contact and seemed put off by your presence. Several dozens or hundreds of ridiculous music posts with accompanying YouTube videos and asking questions, then answering yourself, then getting upset with your own reply to yourself and then adding more and more misic videos claiming each one was better than the last to the point you were getting belligerent with yourself. The one where you tried to introduce and educate the world to Tina Turner, who you claimed was the most underrated and unknown singer of all time was so insane. Everyone had to tell you she has passed away and then you led yourself down some bizarre rabbit hole and got even weirder than usual. So, let me see if I got this straight and up to date. You are back in Australia. You’ve been there maybe 6 months or so. You are watching YouTube videos about Pattaya, which was the only city in Thailand you have spent any time in. You rented a 21 sq. meter studio apartment while there for a few months and couldn’t make a single friend, so you your theory is that everyone that moves to Pattaya (or Thailand wherever, I guess), is that they will end up as sad and pathetic as you did. Is that fair to say? Why are you even posting on here still? Go play bingo or something and meet a nice guy your own age. Get an AI boyfriend or a Gordan Ramsey inflatable love doll or something to keep your mind busy. People are still creeped out. AseanPTSDNow as it was before.

Is that autism or dementia or what?

Yes, dude. Some fall for this and IMO it’s desperate and pathetic and makes one look ridiculous, no offense. The family is “fine” with it, not grateful? They might be laughing at you for paying it. I’m sure I’ll get a lot of downvotes from the guys that do this too, but this is just my opinion on it, since that’s what you are asking for. I think it shows weakness and a lack of self respect. Others will disagree, but I would never do that, even it it was less than 1% of my earnings. The whole agreement to pay a fixed amount regularly turns my stomach. It’s not different than prostitution. Anyway. Thanks for the update and best of luck.

If the name, claiming/admitting to living here for decades but just joining on Thursday, the whining about Thai people, complaining about happy ending massages, and in his monumental stupidity and ignorance, posting 29 times in 72 hours wasn’t enough for you… Do you know anyone that pathetically starved for attention with absolutely nothing to do except post nonsense here every hour or two all day?

It is the case here, so it seems he’s fooling someone here. 🙄

No, it isn’t and yes, it has. You just joined less than a year ago. This used to be ThaiVisa. Now it is AseanNow by Thaiger and a whole lot has definitely changed.

I don’t get people in Thailand going off the deep end with American politics or why it’s all over the front page of the newsletter. This was once a forum focused on Thai news and sharing information related to visas, travel, recommendations, advice, and such. It was people helping people. Not people bickering over American politics. That was long before you were here.

Spot on!

Ask him to emiail you instead of littering the forum with his BS stories.

I’ll subscribe if you open an OF account and close your AN account.

I have a Schwab account with my mother on it and I use her US mailing address, but I have contacted Schwab and asked if they would ship the debit card to Thailand and they said it was no problem. Just contact them. Their customer service and fraud protection are top notch.

You haven’t seen Tropic Thunder, have you, Simple Jack? There is a gem of a quote in it. “Never go full retard”.

Can you even imagine people feeling safer because of all these boarding policies? Some people are terrified of flying in the first place, then are subjected to the stress of even getting through security. Airports are stressful enough as it is. Then all these ridiculous added security measures could make a paranoid person lose their marbles. It’s like taking someone to their favorite restaurant and then insisting they wear a bulletproof vest.

Dude, you're paying for a premium account on Grindr and instead of getting gay hook ups, you are on here all day everyday annoying people.

LOS was a cute catchphrase that was good while it lasted. Not sure why people don't just call it Thailand these days, unless you mean the land of scams, land of scowls, etc.

A renowned, popular, park ranger stepped down from his prestigious position? You can’t make this stuff up.

I have accidentally said hello or thank you in Thai to immigration officers, hotel staff, wait staff, and random in other Asian countries so many times over the years. Just being distracted and saying it and then realizing I just spoke Thai to people who are obviously not Thai because I just landed in a different Asian country. No one has ever showed any sign of offense. They probably are quitely thinking I’m a damn fool and that’s fair. I feel like a damn fool when I realize what I just said. Never had any hint at a backlash, though.

You're lucky she told you, even if you were insulted. You're free to roam. She'll find some wealthy idiot who will lose his money and his mind. This could have turned out much worse for you. Fly high, Freebird.
