Everyone on here seems to be the same. Basically tragic.

Then why are you here then?

If drinking is your life then good luck with that.

Walking around Ikea??

 

No idea why fools on here think going out for a drink means you have to pay for sex?? But it's ok i get it you have no friedns and just use this to justify never having a beer outside of home, or not sitting outside a 7-11.

 

What a weird bunch on here.

Why are you on here then? You should be hanging out with your 300 friends drinking beer.

Bangkok used to be great but has been ruined now. As for beaches..I live 5 minutes from one but never go there...too much sand. Does the OP have kids?

Used to enjoy the city. Now it's just a massive grid locked shopping mall.

Or maybe I'm just getting old and boring.

I live already 10 years in Muang Thong Thani. Its the best place to stay in Thailand. I stay in a 85m2 European style appartment on the 5th floor there are 2 tenniscourts and a swimmigpool Top security and I pay 13500 Baht rent including maintenane and service fees . You need more than one year to try out all the restaurants, all  the mayor supermarkets , Makro  amd Central shoppingmall in a range of 3 km.  And of thos year Max Vaue will open a 3000 m2,  24/7 open supermarket. Numerous public transport  to downtown bangkok. No barscens to speak of but a few very nice places to spemd a evening.  And you have Impact the biggest Fair and eventhall   in Thailand. Next month  Celine Dion is comming here.

I am the same. If I meet people then I meet people. I never go out of my way to connect and quite frankly I do not care what nationality they are. If they are nice and easy to get on with I will enjoy the chat. 

 

 

Some people get lonely and need constant company. Insecurity or something.

The world is made up of two types of people. Extroverts and Introverts and from a scale of 1 to 10 in-between.

There is nothing wrong with being an introvert, many people are quite content with living solitary lifestyles or just being with family or satisfied with just a few persons within their cliques.

Then there are the extroverts who enjoy a wider social circle and enjoy being socially active.

Obviously most people prefer the company of others they can converse with in their own languages and can relate to more.

 

The problem with Thailand if you`re an extrovert is that over the years these people will feel isolated. Mainly because the majority of westerners, just as you begin to get to know them will move on, Farang social clubs are few and far between and the only chances they get to converse with others in their own languages is via the social media and online.  So for those who enjoyed a good social life with family and friends back in their own countries, may end up living a lonely and miserable existence in Thailand.

 

It`s also a fact that many westerners here can be weird, maybe people you can`t trust or simply just not compatible and have little in common. Back in our own countries we can pick and choose our friends, but in Thailand we may mix with people that probably we would not associate with back home, because the choices and numbers are not here.

 

At the end of the day it`s really up to those that do want to improve their social and circles of friends/acquaintances to put themselves out a bit or join together and create a social club or their own, but in Thailand even that`s not an easy task, I know of many that have tried and failed.

Quality is more important. Having 2 good ones beats 50 duds.

That`s a good thing 473geo, and I`m truly glad you do, but some of us are not so blessed as to have close loving families. Unfortunate for me I`m one of those. In the past I`ve found that friends can be better than family, because the old saying is true; you can choose your friends but you can`t choose your family.

 

Here`s the thing; unlike close family, relationships with friends are not unconditional, friendships have to be worked at and with compromise. In the past I`ve known people that have been lifelong friends, then had one stupid disagreement and then fallen out never to speak with each other again, and that I find sad.

 

Everyone`s situations are different and I never criticise people for how they prefer to live their lives and who with. We make our own beds and we must lie in them, and remembering situations can change, either for better or for worse.

Wise words.

Sorry, but in this instance with a totally illegal car and driver on the road, all claims are null and void. If someone tried to pull that sh!t with me... and opined that my mum was a hooker, I'd happily call the cops... after calling my insurance company first.

Correct.

just wearing normal Jacket and yeah lycra shorts haha, i also wear Helmet  all times.

Again since i return to Thailand with my parents i never had a accident.

What i always fear is when Motorbikes come from the opposite directions and they drive like idiots.

Last Night at highway (Khon kaen University) at 2 AM(its when i go out and bike a bit like 30 km), a stupid taxi came the opposite way  just to get to a Hotel.

A bit Crazy here lol

 

 

My  Bike(Optima MOSTRO 6870  in Red)is quiet exotic haha, i think you would know even if you don't know anything  about bike that's is expensive.

Paid 119000 Baht  (Got it 2 months ago) + Upgrade.

 

 

BTW he called me and said it will cost 6000 - 8000 Baht. Its that a lot or normal in Khon Kaen?

It will take him to do it in 2-3 Days. Its quiet slow right?

Should i ask him for a bill? Or will he be offended? I heard something like thai People don't like to loose face :).

I told my Dad (not my Mom, dont ask me why....), and he said to pay and learn from it.

I think if i told my mom what happend she would tell him to go to hell ?

 

 

 

 

 

He didn't ask me for any ID, just my Phone number.

Sim into bin and forget it. He's conning you.

More like:- As he did not call insurance there and then he was probably not insured.

If he didn't want the police involved, then highly likely he has no license either!

Correct. In which case forget it.

I see Xiaomi have a service centre in Pantip Plaza now so I'll go there if Shopee keep ignoring me. Wish I'd bought it from Lazada...

Buy proper brands

Why comment with no knowledge ? 

Read history about rail construction & the amount of people who died, (Including one of my relatives), the condition they where forced to wok in.

Then comment with a little knowledge. 

I've been to Hellfire Pass. That's the real section people died.

Why comment with little knowledge?

Yet you did

Get what? I've been to proper war museums.

The tour company sure fooled you with the fake bridge.

Deserves 1 month jail, large fine then deported. A disgrace.

Who is interested in what Thais think about the bridge. The OP is posting on a majority farang forum asking other farangs what they think would be interesting. You have expressed your narrow minded view, thanks for that. However I would suggest that many, if not most farangs who are in anyway familiar with the plight of those who built the bridge, original or otherwise, Hellfire pass and associated structures, would find all WW11 related areas of interest. As I mentioned earlier, it's not just about the bridge.

It's small and unimpressive. The caves and waterfalls out that way are better.

Thailand has dozens of great tropical islands and a simple bridge isn't anything compared the real attractions.

Whilst I would agree - the bridge is not original - a visit to the small museum at the hellfire pass ( built by the Australians) is quite sobering.

 

Also the commonwealth cemetery- laid out as all commonwealth cemeteries with beautiful Portland stone.

Perhaps if you are not a citizen of one of the countries whose fellow countrymen died - then it does not mean too much. Also many many thousands of more local workers died .

 

I hope your comment was just a bit of click bait - otherwise a trifle lacking in humanity .

 

Back to the OP - difficult to understand - elephants and women? Pattaya of course has both in abundance .

Chang Mai also - nicer scenery , elephant trekking etc 

Nothing to do with humanity. Most Thais could careless about the bridge.

Unfortunately, some members on this post do not care about history or culture. They just as well visit a local “bunny house” back home. 

National Museum in Bangkok is good. More worthwhile than a tiny bridge.

Ok, I bow to your superior knowledge. Now hop back up on your bar stool. There's a good boy.

What bar stool? Don't get upset because not everyone likes small metal bridges.

It will be ok.

So you have absolutely NO understanding of what the bridge is all about.

 

Rubbish. It's a tourist trap.
