That was weird.. You are pleased that the argument that you imagined between myself and the OP, didn't exist in the first place. Instead the ONLY argumentative person, was you, all along. Was easy enough to play along, in telling us what might have been available at the 500 baht mark. Especially as you claimed that there were decent rooms for 500 baht. You know...a bit of a stroll down memory lane. Maybe you've just got grumpy over time and haven't realised it. My LP is packed away in storage. 😊 Thanks for wasting my time 😊 Anyway, the reason why I challenged the OP's price point is that I know what I paid on my first visit around 23 years ago. At Honey Lodge, near Walking Street. No argument, just a different recollection.

I think you are confused. The OP has not written anything to me on this thread. The ONLY person who quoted my post, is you. You, quoted my post where I suggested that 500 baht at most was not likely at that time. Since you have the Lonely Planet 1999, you can tell everyone what was available for 500 baht. There is no argument between the OP and I nor is there one between you and myself. It's just your own imagination creating one and complicating what might have been a simple exchange of information. As to me posting what was available for 500 baht, I already did, in the post that you quoted. Remember?

That's why I don't give money to women 😊

That's your imagination. My objection is to the statement of 500 baht at most. Do you have anything to prove or disprove? 1997 was 29 years ago. The OP states 20-25 years. So you, with your Lonely Planet, can show what was available for 500 baht at that time. How is that so difficult for you to grasp? Diana Inn was 600 baht, so outside the 500 baht max. What was available for 500 baht?

Happens all over, even in Baan Nawk. One infamous woman from your neck of the woods was featured on this very forum. Life, to a certain extent, is what you make it. There are people in Pattaya who don't involve themselves in any of those things and are happily settled. @newnative being a case in point. Whereas you are nowhere near Pattaya, but can likely quote a long list of negatives around your own area of Baan Nawk. What was your attraction? A woman. You were attracted to Thailand due to the lure of easily available women. Don't attach all of your negativity to Pattaya.

I actually have that Lonely Planet somewhere, but you have perhaps missed the point. It being that Airconditioned Rooms were being touted as '500 baht at most'. More accurate might be that the OP set a budget of 500 baht. Please take a picture of where 500 baht is touted as middle range in the book and post it here if you will. So far, you've listed a single option, at 600 baht. Which air conditioned accommodation is the Lonely Planet listing at 500 baht?

Mmmmm...perhaps. Familiarity breeds contempt. Over time you build up pictures of characters, deciding whether they can be taken seriously etc Similarly in nature, friend or foe. For some, they may be unable to convince themselves to take your posts seriously, possibly due to perceived past behaviours. Personally, I would suggest that you don't worry about it and don't react in a way that takes your thread in a direction that you don't want it to go. The Internet is a place wherein millions upon millions of people have a perspective different from your own. If you cannot accept different perspectives, you are going to have a hard time on the Internet. It's not a normal arena. In normal life, you take your surroundings into account before acting. On the Internet, you can simply speak your mind without needing to consider those parameters, as they don't exist. You are in your safe space and they are in theirs. A free exchange, unencumbered by the need to consider specific individual needs. Some things you write will trigger emotions in others to whom your weren't even addressing, in unintended ways. That's the nature of this kind of communication. If you cannot stand the heat, then get out of the kitchen. Otherwise accept the way that people see you and make changes, if you don't like how they see you and wish to be viewed in another way. Getting mad or upset with people about their personal perspectives, only makes you look mad or upset. Find a way through and continue the conversation, especially with people who may have a different perspective.

I can relate to such experiences. It's taught me to be a lot more accepting, 😊 though still with the ability to manage such situations. I think that why I tend to defend 'western women' here. I think they get a bit of a bad rap. They are still our sisters and mothers, so we have to defend/protect them, even if they seem strange.

I know what their cheapest offering is(8 baht), as I recommended them to you in the first place. 😊

It's working out okay 👍😊

I guess you didn't see my edit 😊 How my FIS High suggestion going?

I suspect there is some irony involved where two posters who are complaining about Trolls and Lefties, taking the thread completely off-topic, are the ones complaining about Trolls. Anything on women(or at least people in general, with split personalities? Edit. I take that back, as you've posted on-topic since 😊

It's okay, I'm English 😊

Can you clarify? Do you mean that a lot of people hate you in real life or that you think a lot of people on the forum hate you?

Have you healed anyone over time, as you put it? How would you explain men's behaviour, such as an inability to ever admit they are wrong. From what might such a trait develop? Perhaps you might have read about that kind of thing...or did you just specialise in putting all the blame on females?

How do you know that? If you have inside info, does 20,000 baht seem like the correct fee?

But yet, the only one you mentioned, was 600 baht. My objection was to the '500 baht at most'.

Quod erat demonstrandum.

I don't understand what you are talking about... Barclaycard, is still Barclaycard. Maybe you are describing a licenced product in another country.

What do you mean? BarclayCard is still in existence. It's not a separate payment system.

Thank you for your kind wishes. Always better to be genuine. Your actions, for me, are over the top. So from my perspective, over anxious and overthinking. Does it bother you to know what other people think of you?

It's been sad from the get go. Even before this thread, the writing was on the wall. Notwithstanding, it's instructive, even educational, to read the about other people's lives and experiences and to observe the accompanying comments and behaviours.

It's somewhat ironic that @Hummin is continually pulling @Cameroni up about trust issues, when he clearly has HUGE issues with trust himself.

There was no iffy situation. No requirement for a script. Overthinking, bordering on paranoia 😊 Some people are just like that. No need to explain further.

Wait...you were afraid to carry a completely legal product with you? Are you susceptible to paranoia?
