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.

Another sad story of an expat checking out in a far away land. RIP

 

I'm a bit intrigued by the need to highlight his former occupation in the headline.

 

Does it make any difference ?

 

 

Or how the house was rented.

Caffeine is fine before 3pm.

Eat lots of protein and greens

Avoid processed carbs

Do weights

Problem solved.

Touristy island is popular. Never would have guessed that.

Tastes awful and mostly hyped up crap.

How would you spend it? Where would you go?

9am flight in on day 1

5pm flight out on day 4

Hopefully this generates some good ideas.

All airports considered.

Ps: I'm not from CM.

2 days travelling, one day at destination= 3 days.

Agree that there apparently is nothing worth going there for with just one day.

2 days flying from cm? lol

1 hr flight plus 3 hrs transfer.

and I should care about your opinion, why exactly? Perhaps you are so bored with your life in Issan that you have to come on here and slag me off, but that says more about you than I.

I do pity you that you think it's ok to flame people on a forum.

You asked for advice. 1 day or 3 days? 1 day anywhere is nothing.

Unless you give a better reason, I'm not going to Nong Khai, or anywhere else, for that matter. With one day at destination I've no intention of wandering around another concrete city, and only the same sort of shops/ temples I've seen a thousand times before.

You said 3 days in another post.

Not worth going for 1 day.

Any hotels under 2000 baht with a decent gym near Nimmanhaemin Road.

I like the beaches, but it was an opportunity to visit an area I've never been to for a day.

Given I live in an area with lots of nice Thais, I don't need to spend 2 days travelling to meet more.

Why don't you fly to Udon and visit Nong Khai.

All the farangs in that ghost town are married and are pretty much locked in

Why would he want to sleep with them?

You need a car in Isaan. Get out exploring. Otherwise just same old shopping malls.

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.

I wouldn't mess with nature too much. 

Why are people quoting people from 3 days ago?

What is this fascination with celebrities ?

Up on a pedestal, crying about his passing.

For a TV show ? Give me a break !

Makes no sense to me either. Celebrity worship is strange, especially for an average chef.
