Sorry to hear you had to slum it in a dump.

 

The part of England where I am is glorious.

I aways know someone here will say that, good for you keep paying your taxes

Cat.

Looked and went to southern Portugal first, tried Northern parts later, the people are mostly friendly.

You had to be careful alone in some places because of muggings and I got broken into everywhere I stayed.

The whole point of visiting Thailand is to bang Thai hookers.

If you don't want them, why would you come here, there are many better places for everything else.

Never saw Thailand like that it was just one of many Asian countries I visited, ended up here because I liked it out of all.

There seems to be alot of Narcissistic people posting on these forums. No one has any right to judge another choice in location or lifestyle. There is so much negativity on here its wild.

 

My 2c.

 

Pattaya / Pratamnak / Jomtien the entire area is amazing. You can go wild or have a quiet night, you can stay home or go out, but the point is there is every option possible.

 

Pattaya is an amazing city, it has everything one needs to live in asia while still being connected to a lifestyle back home. Shopping, Eating out, Events, Shopping, Hospitals, Golf societies to name a few.

 

As for friends, meeting friends and chatting to randoms in bars most of the people who hang around LK  are clean, well dressed 60-80 year old aussies. Personally we can roll around with up to 30 people, All retired, like minded mix of english and aussie. Everyone is living here, has their own health issues and everyone supports each other mentally as everyone goes through issues. Sometimes a friend of a friend joins the group and he doesnt fit in but most fit in and form part of the group.

 

For anyone to disrespect Pattaya or anything about it, needs to really assess their own life and why they feel they are so bored, upset or disassociated with other humans. Pattaya is not the issue, you are.

 

 

 

 

 

How sad to think Pattaya and say I've been to Thailand is laughable.

Never questioned if you can or not can start threads. Nor did I deal with the possibility of read or not reading the threads. I just delivered my opinion regarding the topic question.

Fair call.

Nah, that´s the wrong answer. The right is, everyone who don´t start stupid threads over and over again on Asian Now forum.

But you can start whatever thread you like on forums that's what there there for don't be so negative, don't read em if you dislike them which you are doing now.

What percentage of Thais are worth talking to?

Many my wife is one and that's all I ever talk to unless approach by tourists who speak English.

Same here, 50% solo, 30% with wife and 20 with friends or groups

I service my bike myself and maintain it, found a great mechanic in Phayao through a AN friend who knows what his doing with my type of bike if it's something I don't like doing myself. 

My bikes one seater bike don't like riding with pillion passengers and the wife don't like and wouldn't go anywhere with me when I had my Versys before.

My friend here AN Kelboy works 6 months UK lives Thailand 6 months and we go on bike trips 2 to 6 days say every month.

2 other friends are coming in November want to do the Mae Hong Song loop.

When your up in Muang Kao again message me always great to talk with fellow bikers.

How many here at AN is worth communicating to? This is the place you meet and discuss asian related issues with, and how many of the members here do feel you get along with and would meet in real life? 

I've met up to 6 on TV/AN over the years, pleasant people don't know what think me though except 2 who I see every 6 months.

Common interests is often a good start, but to be true if not play pool, go to the local bar or play golf, there is not many left if not climbing, diving, or do any activity where you share common ground. 

 

I ride motorbikes, and then you always meet up or meet someone around who share the same passien, but then again, you have what kind of motorbike you ride and your style to match, and often left with random solo riders who is not bringing any group mentality along. 

I usually end up riding alone anyway. ????

Potentially self-inflicted, but he didn't explain all the things that led to all these mistakes.  The chance that he had two loving and supportive parents, along with living in a reasonably well-off area, with all his emotional and physical needs met, while not impossible, is unlikely.

Good call Clint.

That is true. Is a problem now upstream dams are need to release unusual increse of water that before was less. Short thinking has allow many to use river bed like new land that now is to be wash away. Not only Thailand. MRC  is only another Asian food bowl for a few anyway. Not to see yet a way to control weather !

Yeah thanks for confirming. ????

Good point but compassion to those that deserve it. 

 

I've known the guy for 20 years, he was middle aged when we met but he's always had the same bitter attitude 

Fair call at least you try. ????

Me and my family have been living in the same house for 20 years now in Pattaya. 

 

I have an English neighbor who is elderly now. He occasionally asks me to accompany him in his car to go shopping to different venues because he's not sure about directions etc in Thailand.

 

He drives aggressively, always on the horn, I ask him why he continually sounds his horn, his reply is stupid Thais.

 

I don't like his aggressive driving so I don't accompany him anymore, he is childish, his attitude is poor, he really hates the Thais.

 

 

I've worked, trained and traveled to over 40 countries. 

I have found the Thais to be the nicest, most pleasant, friendliest people on the planet.

 

Sadly, I see so many negative, hateful comments from members towards the Thais, it hurts me to see this nastiness.

 

Ever heard of compassion for elderly people wherever they come from.
