Why do you constantly hang around on them, giving me the thumbs down? Is it jealousy or what? I don't get it. Mark.

They all at dunkin donuts. Mark.

Have you got to the mia noi stage yet?? Mark.

Another washed out western male who was taken for a ride by a much smarter western woman... How much did she get from you in the end, Malcolm? Mark.

Hot dog size. Mark.

Who's he? Mark.

...haven't been to Colombia or Venezuela yet then?? Mark.

Well said. Mark.

Big Mark was my nickname back home. Mark XXL is my nickname here! Mark.

What are these then? Mark.

But how about before 28? I banged a 26 year old German bird on Phi Phi. She was about 18 stone like but still 26.. Mark.

By farangs and greed and the mafia. Mark.

Yeah. If you're into grab a granny! Mark.

I meet many farang men in Thailand and many Harbour a lot of resentment toward western women. I personally don't, and still bang as many as I can get my hands on. But to those who have been burned by a western woman in the past, was that why you moved to Thailand? Is that why you think Thailand is some kind of utopia, when in fact it isn't? Are you still that bitter about western women in general that it clouds the rest of your judgement and moral compass? Curious. Mark.

Grassing on farangs is a national sport in Thailand. Mark.

Same. Hellhole. Mark.

That was me laughing by the way! Mark.

those 3 little words sum it all up! it’s worse than Phuket. Mark.

I’ve just returned from a (very) short holiday on the Island of Koh Phi Phi, my first visit since before the tsunami of 2004. I could not believe my eyes… Straight off the bat you are greeted by 2 men screaming ‘20 baht, 20 baht help protect island..’ Of course I paid and went on my way (you don’t have much choice really).. I later found out through a local who lived there that the 20 baht doesn’t go to cleaning up the island, it was covered in trash and smashed up from a storm last year. Nothing was actively being fixed. And then the hassle starts. “hey man, where you go?” “you need taxi boat?” “man, taxi boat..” Relentless hassle from the moment you step onto the shore. And then I saw it, the dreaded golden arches, right there in front of my face. It was a Mcdonalds… I almost threw up on myself. When I was last there (around 2002) all that was there were a few local eateries and a couple of local bars. Mass tourism hadn’t even kicked off yet, but my god has it kicked off now.. It’s all money, money, money. Even if you want to go and swim/snorkel in the bay they charge you 600 baht for the day, also 600 baht to rent a deck chair for the afternoon!! Most places along the beach also charge PAYING CUSTOMERS 10 baht per piss as well.. Then there’s the muslim chants. I hadn’t noticed it in 2002, but apparently Phi Phi is 80% muslim now, not sure if it was back then. I distinctly remember having a masaman pork curry with my ex when I first landed. Not the case now, it’s definitely a pork free zone.. I thought I was dreaming. Then I went to the 7/11. 20 baht for a small water. You are lucky if you can find a coffee for less than 100, and that would only be a tiny cup. Then theres the tourists. and oh so many tourists… I thought I had gotten off the boat in the middle of Chelsea! Full of young, tatted up, permed up, shirtless cockneys posting on social media all day, telling everyone back home how great the island is… If only they knew. Phi Phi, you are naturally beautiful. Your beaches are amazing, your limestone cliffs are top notch too, but for gods sake PLEASE drop the mass tourism model before it’s too late. I swear, if I hear another cockney accent within the next 48 hours I’m gonna go back and jump off of one of those aforementioned limestone cliffs.. Rant over. Mark.

Sean said it, not me. Mark.

Makes a few good points here does old Sean... Mark.

There are plenty on Soi 6... Mark.

I am, Dr Jack. But my 90 day is coming up shortly and I'm not sure when I will be leaving. Shall I just bin the report receipt and leave it? Mark.

If I have no intention of renewing my visa extension this year, do I still need to do 90 day report? Mark.

This time it's different. When was the last time you ventured out on to the streets in a tourist ghetto? Just look at the numbers for this quarter.... The attitude of the locals stinks, the way they try and fleece the foreigner is atrocious and I for one hope they never return. Mark.
