save the frogs

Yes, most of the negative stories are coming out of Pattaya it seems.

That's scary. Getting abducted .... could have got killed .

Yes, possible scenario. And one might even assume that the guy did it on purpose to provoke the bar owner into assaulting him to get the bar in trouble. He could literally be friends with a bar owner across the street. You need to keep your wits about you. You never know who is out to get you. I was walking down the street and spotted a Thai woman giving me the evil stinkeye and talking to her friends behind my back. I didn't do nothin' to her. There's a lot of Troubled Men and Women out there who would get you if they could.

But people can also get "emotionally damaged" from divorce / bad relationships. I met one girl who started working as a freelancer after her boyfriend cheated on her. The emotional damage began before the freelancing did.

I just did a search on Dalat, Vietnam. Never been, but the temperate eternal spring climate seems appealing, as well as the pine trees, lakes , and low cost of living.

Documented where?

I went to a cafe and there were signs banning filming and photographing. It's not just to do with girls. I'm guessing people film all over the place and some people don't like it and it leads to arguments and fights in the establishment.

Who the hell eats at 3:30 AM? I guess alcohol and weed gives people the munchies? Last call for alcohol.

No, I mentioned in the other post that the bar owner should have gone to the back room and called the cops. Just saying this video shows how stupid and provocative foreigners get in these bars, including uttering threats. So that's why we see so many beatings taking place.

1 - where are you getting your numbers from? 2 - the divorce rates are high, therefore many/most people lack relationship skills and/or have psychological issues or issues of narcissism or fill in the blank, overly materialistic ... not just girls who have worked as escorts.

A girl from my last workplace was flirting with every guy in the office. It was an ego trip for many men to like her. And women are doing this on social media. If you post a sexy video on TikTok, then thousands of men are admiring your body. Even though technically it's not prostitution ... but there was a famous actor who broke up with his girlfriend because he didn't like the content she was putting up on social media.

Pretty much most corporate work environments have that to some degree. Backstabbing competitive colleagues, ruthless bosses .... The girls actually are tough. They have survival skills and they know how to survive. And that what's it's all about ... survival.

The songs about her ex boyfriends could be mostly fictional storytelling. Like Led Zeppelin "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You". It doesn't mean it was a true story. Emotional baggage ... what a joke. What do men want to marry? Inflatable dolls? Even if a woman never had any other man before you, the relationship itself will be full of complications and the woman will incur "emotional baggage" with YOU. You need to learn how to deal with that. A woman is not a sex toy.

I'm not sure it would be that black and white if it went to court. Although he uttered a threat, he did not attack or make any body movement that indicated he was going to attack. The bar owner should have gone in the back room and called the police.

how is he trying to feel important? the thread has generated at least one interesting anecdote. take a chill pill.

Yeah well, he wasn't just filming. He was being a total and absolute arrogant ahole AND he threatened the bar owner. You couldn't pay me enough money to run a bar with all these drunk aholes in there. We normally only see the beatings that take place. This is a good video that shows how people can act like total aholes and absolutely deserve the beatings they get.

it's not that far-fetched. I'm sure there are expats like you describe in Thailand. run shady hustles or empty talk? BOTH, probably. There's both types that probably do exist. thank god I don't hang out in bars though.

no, but just did a quick google search. some factories will come up. they have their own websites. this one is in bangkok and claims to do custom furniture https://hultadesign.com/

Loads of people film in front of bars. Not sure about inside bars, though. Just ended up with the wrong bar owner or maybe it was not discrete at all since he was in the bar.

There's a Ralf on AN. Same guy?

Trump is an evil genius. Nobody can figure out what he's doing or why he's doing it. He 42 moves ahead of you.

It doesn't have to be deep conversations. But some women are so stupid it drives me nuts. Just a decent level of intelligence is required. Some men don't care too much, as long as she has a nice body. But I can't be with a vacuous idiot for any length of time. I can't do it.

Human creativity will become obsolete. Will everyone become depressed and suicidal when their talents are no longer needed?

It was never created for the average person. These schools were created by elites for the elite. A lot of US presidents went to Ivy League schools and they're total ding dongs. George Bush Jr. comes to mind.

And you thought the bar girls were bull<deleted>ters. When you talk to yourself, the bs in on a whole other level.
