You seem very interested, how many prostitutes have you nailed, and how old were they, ? Do you have an actual lower age limit, or do you work on an age "differential" which presumably increases incrementally with each of your birthdays?

Each to their own, but this thread is about what we don't like, Try and stay on topic, there is another thread currently running entitled "5 things you love most in Thailand" I didn't see you listing your peculiar fondness of the standard Thai greeting on there

nothing, why do you ask? my objection is to having to hear it ad nauseum

I thought of including that phrase too, but on reflection, I decided that there are rare circumstances where it is justified, and in some cases it is the only truly appropriate response

No it's not just you, but what makes you think they are not profiling you?

well, wherever you may (or may not) have been you have still ended up here. So where is your sad list ? Let's see what a real man of the world likes about Thailand. Shouldn't take you long, may be just a bit longer than your sad comment

He just sounds like a guy with a healthy libido to me , This "predator / victim " thing is a purely western ideology, invented by bitter dried up old crones and those still married to them with its origins firmly rooted in jealousy There are many predators lurking in Thailand's beer bars and massage parlours, and they are all female. a 60 year old western guy with limited Thai language skills and some disposable cash is a prime victim not a predator Shame on you for using that word

Thai seasonal fruits Music specifically Morlam and kantrum Food particularly Larp and Goy and Sticky rice Bum Guns Nights out on the lash with my Thai mates My In-laws (salt of the earth) Lack of wokeness, critical race/ gender theory rubbish No climate change rubbish/ lies being rammed down ones throat day in day out No mention of Ukraine living amongst a population who are still allowed to be patriotic and proud of their heritage, which is totally different to my home country (uk) where that would be considered extreme right wing

Everything found in Thailand can be found in other countries, The OP didn't specify that the five things had to be unique to Thailand. Or have I missed something? oh just to refresh your memory here is your list Swim all year Cheap massages Cheap restaurants/accomm No need to leave car for refuels Acceptance of much younger GF/wife Hardly unique to Thailand can swim all year in any country. cheap massages available in any third world country cheap restaurants and hotels as above younger wife no problem anywhere In car refuels ? ok i'll give you the benefit of the doubt for that one, but personally I prefer self service

Tried all that nonsense years ago but the missis couldn't keep up, a lot easier just to leave her in the car.

1) Having to suffer "sawat dee khrap" 100's of times and being followed around continuously in Homepro. Thai Watsadu, and Global House etc ( although easily sorted by leaving the Missis in the car) 2) Those who seek to turn Thailand into a copy of their miserable home country 3) Those who constantly repeat phrases like "Quality tourists" or "I thought there was no prostitution in Pattaya" 4) Know it all political commentators claiming to know what's best for Thailand 5) The foreigners who "identify" as self appointed wannabe immigration police and their hysterical reactions to overstayers I have only ever encountered the people in the last four categories on this website

oh dear have we spoilt it for you ? Must be wonderful to accept everything at face value no matter who is telling you. Blissful ignorance eh?

its not a matter of sympathy never been big on that, never expected or received any, and never really been one for handing it out. You either don't understand the essence of my post, or you are just being argumentative Your reference to other white people as "the" whites is a bit strange what with you being white an' all, are you not like the average white person, a bit better perhaps?

No i'm not playing any card, I was adding a bit of "balance" to the underlying issue of racism and the eternal search for victims which only ever includes non whites, maintaining the narrative that its always one way. that we are all living in a world run along the lines of how south africa is reported to have been run all those years ago. As you said whites have indeed committed atrocities, and so have pretty much every race over the thousands of years that humans have been on the planet Incidents of unpleasantness against white teachers occur far more frequently due if nothing else to the fact that there are more white teachers, If and when kids step out of line then they get disciplined ( or should do ) and that would be the end of the matter, I have never heard of Thai kids baking a cake for a white teacher in response to another white teacher, who they never even knew, being "abused" hundreds of miles away Its not the Thai way and that "letter to the world was not written by a Thai The Thais lovely people? well mostly yes Racist? not really, more like naturally xenophobic, they certainly don't distinguish between black and white, when it comes to foreigners, we are all the same, and that makes me think there is something a bit weird about this whole story

Indeed there are some and some actually take my breath away. By the way have you had any positive responses yet from your un brainwashed like minded "foreigners and expats" to your call for taking to the streets for a bit of direct action ? It actually would not surprise me having read some of the posts and comments on here, What is it that causes some people to get so hysterical about the political manoeuvring's and skullduggery in a foreign country ? None of us have any say in the matter, I can understand some might like to take an interest particularly in so far as how much any of it may actually affect foreigners but that's as far as any of us can take it, even if one could find somebody of "influence" who would listen, to complain would be at best pointless To actually advocate that a gang of foreign, disgruntled, left leaning ,pompous, woke pensioners "take to the streets to demand things are done their way has to be evidence, if not of brain death then certainly of insanity, and to think there could even be a chance of success "unite in getting Thailand to a democracy. " is further evidence of the same To feel the need to force any political ideology on a sovereign nation of people , who's language you don't understand, Whos political system you dislike, but also don't understand, who's culture you will never understand, has to be evidence of some form of brainwashing, I don't mind people throwing insults at me , it demonstrates how bizarrely passionate they feel about something and its normal , for some, to react like that when challenged But to have taken offence on behalf of an entire nation of people, whether they wanted it or not, and to insult any of them who do not agree as either brainwashed or braindead" as you put it. almost defies explanation At least I don't have to ask if you're a leftie

one of the students allegedly wrote this "message to the world" “From the drama of one Thai student behaving badly towards a foreign teacher, some people may think that Thai people or Thai children are racist and have bad habits. We want to tell everyone that everyone has different habits. Not all Thai students have that behaviour. My friends and I all like foreign teachers, regardless of their nationalities. “It is good and fun to learn with foreign teachers even though almost 90% of classmates cannot communicate in English very well, but teachers try to use body language or sign language to make us understand what the teacher is saying.” That was not written by any of her students!

And less "woke" thankfully

just more virtue signalling by the lefties of social media. How many white teachers are "disrespected" by Thai students on a daily basis? plenty, in fact many if not all experience some unpleasantness from both students and other Thai teachers but it doesn't get mentioned.. However the minute it happens to a black teacher the "netizens" suddenly go into some sort of meltdown The vast majority of Thais are not particularly enamoured with foreigners, regardless of colour, and why should they be? if the truth be known, most people, wherever they come from are not particularly enamoured with foreigners, again regardless of colour In my opinion it's a normal and natural human instinct to be at the least, "wary" of those we don't know, mothers in most countries, tell their kids from an early age "don't talk to strangers" purely out of a maternal concern for their children's safety, They don't specifically say "don't talk to strangers of a different colour" or "don't talk to those with a different accent" although those two characteristics are easy ways for kids or anybody else for that matter to identify strangers. There are a couple of young kids ( around 1 to 2 years old) in the wifes extended family at present and there have been plenty of others over the past 30 years, when ever their parents visit us the reaction of the kids is pretty much the same regarding me. In so much that they quickly become familiar with the Thai members of the family, but are always very wary of me, even at such a young age they are aware, due to my appearance, that I am very much "a stranger" and they tend to keep their distance, Are they racist, in my opinion of course not, but then again ,they are in a way judging me by my colour. If I was black and a video of their reaction to me was ever to find its way onto the internet, It would not take long before some blue haired woke westerner's outraged sensitivities ,would have them screaming for these racist kids and their racist parents, to be sent on the next available diversity training course Thailand isn't inherently racist and neither are Thai people, They are patriotic and xenophobic to a degree, I don't have any issues with either and neither should anybody else. I now await the predictable outraged responses from the usual woke suspects

Yeah right, a magistrate handing down fixed penalty fines for instances of minor possession must posses a really in depth knowledge of fictional cannabis addiction. "I only did it coz i was stoned" "I'm an addict I need help" "i'm the victim here" etc etc People make up all sorts of excuses to explain their behaviour The police have also been known to stray from the facts too The overwhelming majority of victims in this "war" are the innocent users many of whom have been imprisoned and all of whom will have to live out their lives with a drugs conviction on their record. Its known as the war on drugs, and what is the first casualty of war ? The truth of course

And why? or rather who paid them

except those of us who do not agree with you

Its not a dream it is reality. reality that has reigned here for a very long time and long may it continue

one bad apple is all it takes, A journey of a thousand miles starts with one footstep etc etc I did not say the end of Thailand, I said the end of the Thailand we left our home countries for

Yes but in those days the universities concentrated in teaching the subjects that people intended to study, now they dedicate themselves to preaching lefty woke political ideology, which this guy has obviously become infected with. " Ivy league trojan horse" is a very apt description, putting Pita or somebody similar in a position of power, would be the beginning of the end for the Thailand that most of us chose to leave our countries of origin for

I am inclined to agree, he would soon be cozying up to Klaus Schwab and the rest of them , The only foreigners voicing support for him are woke lefties and those who for some reason would like to change Thailand into copy of their own miserable countries. The ruling elite , or dinosaurs, as the lefties like to call them have for decades, presided over this country and created a place where all of us have chosen to stay. What makes them think that this woke pretty boy will make things any better for us? To be honest I don't think they do, they despise the fact that Thailand has , as yet , chosen not to follow the currently fashionable woke globalist agenda. Long may the status quo prevail. as always , better the devil you know, in my not so humble opinion
