What is it with some weird foreigners pushing hard and ridiculous all the time to establish "home country rules and behavior" in a foreign place. Every condo seems to have a few of these obsessed morons. What a nuisance. Why they want to leave their country in the first place? MS>

Yep, and they seem to believe that the rest of the world should adapt to them.. Very strange attitude.

I think your sugar price question is disingenuous. My concern in the price of food. Using resources that can be used to grow food to grow biofuel (generally) drives up the price of food.

Growing enough biofuel for Sweden in a lot different than growing enough for the US. In any event, by importing from Brazil, Sweden is effectively exporting their CO2.

You really do not see the relevance of reducing energy demands by 90%?
 

I think that biofuel has already been dismissed as  globally unsustainable.

One oddity is that these ‘neighbours’ turned up in a pick-up so not sure how close they were.

Yes, i read that too, it's not like they are living so close to the workshop.

As I have said on other threads, when I left my home country I accepted that if my own country issued problems I would just be changing one set for another. It is something all expats anywhere have to accept because if they don't then they are not going to be happy in their new life.

I think the two Scotsman here were in the wrong and I hope by now they have learned a lesson and won't do it again. They might not be so lucky next time.

I bet they have sobered up a bit by now.

Hope they have some money left to enjoy the rest of the holiday.

The writer obviously never seen a Scottish man when he actually is drunk?

I just did, twice, and i'm not impressed.

Quite right, they should appreciate ear-splitting noise from morning till night and through the night if necessary. Why should Thais act like civilised human beings for falang and for each other.

Also why should falang be driven insane by it when all they expect is a little consideration from fellow adults, even though those same adults have the brains of five year olds.

Did you watch the video ?

Nobody likes noise, including most Thais i know, but these 2 men acted like they own the place.

If the place where you live is too noisy, why don't you relocate ?

Not the right approach but feel sorry for him as same happened to me built a 6 bedroom house and months later the land in front of my house became the black moon multi moon whatever they fancied having moon ,was so loud I moved to cmx .now it's defunct I'm happily living back in my house .if I had put all my eggs in one basket I would of really been in trouble so know how this guy feels ,you have no say phone the police and end up giving them money 

Anyone have a clue what he's going on about?

I think he built a house, and then some sort of karaoke opened next door, then he called the police and lost some money too.. At least this is what i understood

 No I mentioned that one in an earlier quote. Quite a charmer isn’t he. 

well, anyway i think that personal attacks are not the top, although they can be funny if mixed with a dose of irony.

“Nope, I don't comment or post much in here, but I browse enough to see all the TVF threads with burnt out and washed up westerners bitter at Thais and Thai society”

 

you missed that recent one then. ?

You forgot " the borderline autistic way they pose their arguments "

Then skip this movie as it has an effect on some after watching. I used to walk BKK streets all the time back in the day and there were people burned, limbless, blind, you name it, it was there. Same deal in this movie.

I will, btw , i was in Hardwar during a Khumba Mela ( millions of people and thousands of beggars) so i have kind of a thick skin.

Just now, holy cow cm said:

Watch Slumdog Millionaire movie. Pretty accurate and very appalling. 

Thanks, but how you present it must be very sad.

Honestly i don't watch many movies at all, reality is colourful enough for me.

Please quote where I said I like their actions.

 

Are you reading things that are not on your screen?

Maybe you are having a bad day, i hope it will get better.

I simply said Vacuum already told them to go back home.

 

That's a very common refrain on TFV.

 

That's not my concern, my concern is people behaving worse than animals.

Are you serious? The Thai mafia has been around long before I came here.

In any case, I can't judge whether a beggar with one leg or arm missing is part of a gang. I just give on what I think are the handicaps they have in life.

Fair enough, years ago somebody was filming the vans taking them to central Bkk, and come in the evening to take them home.

You are right, nonetheless, and when i stroll around Bkk, i always make sure that i have coins in my pockets to give some to the less fortunate.

Totally agree.

I rented land for one brother in law, bought a Kubota etc for him so he could grow rice at a cost of 300K to try to make him self sufficient.....but he is probably the laziest person in the world...and so never makes any money. I just paid for the party for a novice monk (another nephew) at a net cost of 100K after getting most of the envelopes.

We pay her mother a monthly sum and I gave her 20K this year to fix up her house.

I've paid for kidney dialysis and many other emergencies...and apart from the kidney dialysis have received no thanks at all.....

 

So having dumped probably about 2 million baht into the family over the past few years l I am still seen as tight by all the family and get no thanks at all.

 

 

 

The problem is now they think you have the magic money tree.

Some people could be grateful, others would be just envious.

Stay safe out there.
