Thanks for the responses. It's clear that many of us are fed up with the behavior of some foreigners in Thailand, and the frustration is very real. It’s not surprising that Thailand’s cheap cost of living, enjoyable scenery, and more relaxed legal environment attract a variety of characters. It’s infuriating to see some foreigners act like they can do whatever they want without facing any consequences. These individuals are making life harder for those of us who respect local customs and laws. The idea of criminal background checks for long-term residents makes a lot of sense. It would help keep some of the worst offenders out. It’s frustrating though knowing that despite good ideas, we’re pretty much powerless to make them happen. We can only hope the authorities see the same issues and eventually decide to act. Cultural integration, or the lack thereof, is another major issue. Watching some expats completely disregard local customs is maddening. It wouldn't hurt for them to show a bit of respect and try to fit in. Learning some basic manners and not acting like they own the place should be a minimum requirement for anyone wanting to live here. Comments about banning tattoos, man buns, and loud behavior might seem extreme or humorous, but they reflect real frustrations. These visible traits can contribute to the negative image of foreigners. While it would be impossible to enforce such bans, it underscores the need for better behavior among expats. Public intoxication and disrespectful behavior are disgraceful. It’s beyond annoying to see some foreigners acting like drunken fools and treating locals poorly. Stricter rules would help, but meanwhile we're left watching and dealing with the fallout from these idiots. The economic impact is another point of contention. Some expats try to live as cheaply as possible, contributing little to the local economy while taking advantage of the low cost of living. This behavior is not only disrespectful but also unsustainable. It’s frustrating to see people who could be contributing positively instead behaving selfishly. There’s also the negative impact on local communities. Some expats don’t bother to learn the language or engage with locals, creating isolated enclaves. This segregation only deepens the divide between us and the local population, breeding resentment and misunderstanding. It’s a slap in the face to the idea of cultural exchange and mutual respect. The environmental footprint of some expats is another issue. It’s infuriating to see people littering and polluting without a second thought. This behavior not only harms the environment we all enjoy but also shows a blatant disregard for the country that’s hosting us. Seems we recognize some of the same issues and share the same frustrations.

I can't help but notice all the negative aspects about many of the expats I've come across in Thailand. It's disheartening to see that so many foreigners seem to fall into one of several categories: unpleasant, criminal, or otherwise problematic. Firstly, the number of rude and disrespectful expats is staggering. It's as if some people left their manners at the airport. From obnoxious behavior in public to a complete lack of respect for Thai culture and people, these individuals don't add anything positive to the backdrop. It's also embarrassing and frustrating to witness. How hard is it to learn a few basic phrases in Thai, be a bit more polite, or follow simple cultural norms? Instead, we see loud, self-entitled behavior that screams, "I don't care about your country or your customs." Secondly, the criminal element among some expats is alarming. Every other day, it seems like there's news of another foreigner involved in drugs, fraud, violence, some form of exploitation, or other illegal activities. It's as if Thailand has become a base for these unsavory characters. This not only tarnishes the reputation of the expat community but also undermines the safety and tranquility that many other expats came here seeking. Why should locals trust us foreigners when they see so many of our compatriots behaving so disgracefully? Another troubling aspect is the noticeable lack of respect for local laws among some expats. Whether it's overstaying visas, working illegally, or engaging in shady business practices, these actions show a blatant disregard for the rules and regulations of the country that's hosting them. This kind of behavior only serves to alienate foreigners further from the local community. The arrogance and superiority displayed by some expats is also deeply troubling. Many act as if they are better than the locals, displaying condescending attitudes and constantly complaining about Thailand and its people while refusing to adapt. This creates a toxic environment and further damages the relationship between expats and locals. To add to the negativity, many expats seem perpetually angry, unfriendly, and dissatisfied with their lives in Thailand. It's baffling to see such resentment and unappreciative attitudes in people who have chosen to live in a foreign country. They complain endlessly about everything from the lack of safety to the frustrations with local customs, creating a cloud of negativity that affects everyone around them. Instead of appreciating the unique experiences and opportunities Thailand offers, these individuals seem to be stuck in a loop of dissatisfaction and bitterness, making it harder for other foreigners, who genuinely respect the country, to maintain good relations with locals. Finally, there's the issue of health and hygiene. Some long-term expats neglect their health, often seen as very overweight, poorly groomed, and suffering from lifestyle-related illnesses due to poor diet, lack of physical activity and excessive alcohol consumption. This not only affects their quality of life but also perpetuates negative stereotypes about expats being unhealthy and unkempt. Why is all this happening? Is it the lax visa regulations or the perception that Thailand is an easy place to hide that draws these types in? Whatever the reason, it's just sad and very disheartening.

I'm not going to get into a lot of detail, but the bloke showed up at my place last night after I had blocked him on What's App. This was what I was thinking might happen in the future and it didn't take long. Luckily my missus is still in the UK. So I told the geezer straight. I explained that the first encounter was a mistake, that I was drunk, and that I am straight and live with my girlfriend. He accepted that, but then said he needed money and asked me for 2,000 Baht. I then told him I would give him the money, but that I never want to see him again at my place. He happily agreed and so I told him I first want to take a photo of his government ID card in case there are any further issues in the future. He agreed again and I snapped a photo of his ID. Then I gave him the money, he was happy, but then he made a sudden go for my crotch. I rejected his advance and then told him I can't spend any more time with him because some friends are on the way over to my place now. So he left and that was the end of it. He got an extra 2,000 Baht from me, but now I have a copy of his ID, he also knows the score, that I have a lady, and hopefully he won't cause any further problems. My girlfriend gets back to Bangers on Wednesday.

I'm amazed at the childish posts that people continue to make. Like a giddy bunch of grade school lads. I already posted yesterday that I blocked the guy and it's over. Can you not read or do you have other issues? Was it a bad idea for me to give him my number in the first place? Yes. Should I have not made the error of mistaking a tranny for a woman in the first place? Yes, again. But when you're on the piss and you've had a few then your judgment can get skewed and people often make these kinds of mistakes. But you lot know these things, so get over it mates.

Well mates, the guy didn't stop sending text messages to me on What's App and the last message he sent me was a bit long, included a sexy photo of him, and said something confusing about money. So now I've just blocked him. Hopefully that's the end of that. Cheers.

Cheers for the feedback. I gave him my What's App when he was leaving because he said he had some photos of me that he had taken the night before and wanted to send them to me. He did send those and luckily nothing compromising in any of them. Just me smiling and looking a bit pissed in the photos. I reckoned I could always block him later on What's App if necessary. After he left I noticed some stains on the sheets and I just told the maid I ate some bad food and had a bit of an accident. So that's sorted. He also left an earring behind that I found on the table and I binned it. So hopefully I've covered my tracks now for when the misses gets back from London early next week. I haven't blocked him yet on What's App as I want to see if he starts to get upset or just gives up trying to reach me. I haven't replied to him, but at the moment he's still just sending a few messages every now and again saying he misses me and would like to see me again. He hasn't tried calling again though which is good. I will likely block him soon. I just worry about him showing up at my townhouse door one night as I said because I don't live far from where I met him on Soi 11.
