Way of the world. Youtube is just glorified beggars. Podcasters all interview each other and pat each other on the back. The world is kind of like incest but with your clothes on.
I find my joy in a burger place in the hills or a steakhouse full of Thais.
Speaking of begging, During covid the owner of FM103 had a gofundme page.

I enquired about joining they said it would be no probem "Ha!" I said. "I would NEVER join a club that would accept ME as a member!" Thanks Groucho 🙂

This is what AN forums need, more humour. 🤣
Well done, thanks for the laugh mate. 👍

It seems to be the norm these days, the owner of the local radio station FM103, Tommy Dee does the same thing.

Dan about Thailand, more like Desperate Dan😆, promoting restaurants so he and his family can get a freebie, seems like he's a authority on Thai language as well judging by his YouTube channel 🥱. I reckon he's the Billy Bull<deleted>ter.
Oh, phew, that's a relief.
I was in the running for the Billy BS award this month, looks like Dan has won it. 👍

What age group are you? I find that a lot of the grumpty ones are just sick of life. Mostly 70yo+.
You see happy faces on younger ones.
I made Thailand my home in my 30's, I'm now in my 50's.
Over the many years I've had many friends in their 70's, all been good, happy people.
I don't meet many new people these days, just stick to my large family and the friends I've got.
You could be right regarding age and grumpiness, not sure of the demographic of the members that troll me, maybe it's the elderly.

Too many with the whining grumpy old men syndrome.
What happened to expats here in Thailand, it never used to be like this, many years ago expats were fun to be with but sadly they are now what you have described, I've read so many other comments from members with similar feelings.
Its horrible now posting or commenting on this forum, you get attacked at times.
I'm Australian, I can take the attacks and criticism but it's really weird reading all the hate comments.
I've been a member of AN for over 6 years.
Sadly today I blocked a couple of annoying, antagonizing members after learning you can block members, what a wonderful feature.
It seems some of the Brits are angry here in Thailand, Dan About Thailand, he's English but has made a vlog, saying that the Brits can be the biggest moaners in Thailand.

Please do not PM me and ask me to tell other posters not to interact with you, this is not pre-school!
There is an ignore function, please use it or find another thread that better suits your taste.
I didn't know it was a feature, thanks for the heads up. 👍
I googled it and found an old AN posting.Here it is for those other members who do not know.
Wish I knew about it years ago.BTW, at times I think the forum is a preschool the way some members carry on.

I have found expats in Thailand to be either bad, mad or a mixture of both!
Sadly most these days.

Many years ago I became a member (life) of Pattaya Expats Club, I went for a while, probably because I was bored and wanted to learn more about my neighborhood.
We are lucky these days social media, forums like Asean Now where we can ask questions, so many knowledgeable members.
I'd say some expats are bored only trolling on forums annoying others, these are the guys that attend.

From the original post:
ThaiRath reported that Shanghman travelled to the dam with his friends and a tour guide. They were staying at a floating raft accommodation called Krisorn Float.
Perhaps the "tour guide" referred to was just a guy in a pick-up who took them there.
Oh, thanks, I overlooked that.
Yes, probably just a local guy who called himself a tour guide.

Why are they going to the food court instead of a nice cafe?
I don't think they are spending any money, free air-conditioned comfort.
At a Cafe they would be forced to buy something.

Got to be really bored to do that meet up, topics get desperate it seems
Some guys enjoy it, gets them away from the keyboard.
Like you I keep myself busy through the day, exercising etc.
Many years ago, the venue was on Soi 1 Beach Road (Greentree) and a hotel 2nd road (Grand Sole) opposite soi 6.
I went a few times as I was new in town and bored at the time.

Serious question. but wouldn't a tour guide normally be involved in the registration process ? Given that it's their business, after all .
From what I've heard and read, I think he went alone, avoiding tour guide and others.

Does this meet at different locations? I saw a group of people at the big c extra food court that looked like a club meeting of some kind.
Lots of elderly European guys hang out there everyday.
They seem OK, keep to themselves.
Expat club now meets on 2nd road every week.

I've lived in Pattaya nearly 20 years. Living on the Darkside, I have to cross Railway road 3 or 4 times a week when I am forced to drive into town. I observe regular log-jams as brainless, selfish Thais jam up the works by blocking lanes in all directions.
I am not surprised at the number of 'weird angry foreigners'.
I agree with you, 100%, there are many brainless, selfish Thais blocking lanes but it is Thailand, it's to be expected, most countries have selfish drivers, probably why so many road rage incidents these days.
I reckon you'd find there would be a few brainless, selfish foreigners blocking those lanes as well.

Do you avoid expats?
Have you found them to be great friends
Many years ago when I arrived I had loads of expat friends, sadly over the years these foreigners have died off or gone back home because of job loss, divorce etc.
I have a big family now so I tend to avoid foreigners.
I work offshore and tend to spend my time with other offshore workers, we always have something in common to talk about.
Recent years I've noticed the BTC guys (Dodgy dudes) but they dwindled off when bitcoin slumped.
It seems difficult to find an expat that's not unhinged these days, I enjoy talking to normal expats and socializing but not many about.
Its always a bonus to talk with other Aussies. 🦘

Keyless? .. you only get one - dont lose it, they are a quite expensive to replace apparently.
I paid 1000 baht for an extra, not that expensive.
A mate of mine hired a 160 click for a month, he lost the fob, guys from Honda spent half a day trying recode a new fob, charged him 5k baht.

Expat Clubs -Why don't you go?
in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Posted
Yes, sorry I am easily amused.
The comment did make me chuckle...... he said he would NEVER join a club that would accept him as a member.
It got me thinking about other things.
