And therein lies the problem.

Complete disregard for the rules of the road.

 

There are rules?

If you mean the poor guy didnt know the one and only rule for pedestrians, try not be run over by a car, then Im with you.

It's what makes driving a carSUV such a joy...pesky pedestrians mostly know their place. The ones that don't are quickly culled out of the population herd.

From pedestrian point of view, yes, SUV scare me.

But I must bring you bad news. Nothing scares me more than a baht bus on fast lane on Beach Rd, going at 100 km/hr at 3 am.

SUV are not even on 2nd place. Small nasty tuned up Vios, with neon lights tuning going at 120 km/hr take 2nd place. SUV is 3rd place winner.

From point of view of other drivers, SUV wins of course.

Yes, it is the worst thing to go through.

It sounds allmost silly, you have to be strong now. Nothing worse than depression, very difficult to come out of it.

He argued more and decided to go to the police station.  They added a speeding ticket for the bike!!!  Ended up with some 2-3k Baht in fines.

...

They gave him speeding ticket for a bike, that was in the truck?

That is insane.

Yes, we have the tourist now. Justice will prevail for sure!

Except nobody took my money, and he withdrew his 100 000.

sex is less important, but when they start having an emotional affair as well, it gets very difficult.  

 

  

Exactly!

My guy was straight, I knew this from get go.

He had sex with women, karaoke places, and he payed 500 like every local does, if he is simply after short time thing. I often gave him money for that, afterall he was straight, if I had forbidden him having sex w girls, it would have been unfair to him.

I never saw, still dont see girls as competition, or even cheating. They have something I dont.

As long as my guy comes home at night, doesnt spend a night w a girl, it is allright w me.

But. If he falls in love w a girl, and his heart belongs to somr girl, its over.

I would never have tolerated him being w another man.

I dont know if this makes sense to you guys.

I lived in Toronto on Churc and Wellesly, other than San Fransisco, I dont think there is more clearly defined gay ghetto in NA.

For few years that I lived in the area, I had sex several times a day. Mind you never was in relationship at the time, so maybe this doesnt count as being promiscous.

There was a bathhouse, Spa On Maitland, i was there sometimes 72 hrs straight, i knew staff, they let me leave to get fast food, and come back in.

I dont think it is possible for a straight guy to have sex 4, maybe more times a day, unless he pays for it.

In the Spa, I saw guys who were in long term relationships, guys who i knew, they were doing the same thing, except they checked out after they got layed, so they could get home on time.

Oldest trick in the world. You have to ask yourself why would someone do that. Most of the time if your 50+ in years you know they are after money.

2 naked girls in your car, in the middle of the day, making love to you in traffic, in Pattaya?

Dont you think this a bit too far even for our Extreme City?

I am curious, what is the trick, you are talking about? I mean the 'oldest trick', please?

I am little bit surprised so many take MB1 story seriously, but Im starting to understand many members now. Things that always puzzled me on TV are now making sense.

Same thing to me 2 years ago in Tukcom, right at entrance, where there are several ATMs.

A Russinan man, maybe around 40, asked me to help him, and he asked me the moment I was taking the bills from machine. I didnt say a word, clicked few buttons, for the card to be returned, and then asked him what he needed done. I spoke Russian to him. In few seconds he explained that does not understand ATM options, because there are only Thai and English options. He had Platinum Visa card in his hand. I was standing next to him, he put his card in, I told to enter his pin, and then I pressed for Enlish. The amount he then entered was 100 000. Machined ofc said no, there was long sentence on screen in English to contact his branch, nothing about machine limit. So we did it all over again, this time I told him yo enter 20 000. Machine gave him the money. We repeated this 5 times. He thanked 6 times and kept shaking my hand after we were done.

It is very strange to be interrupted by stranger while withdrawing money at ATM. But it may not seem strange for Russians.

If what happened to you attempt to scam, I dont see how she could have scammed you.

Hoping to distract you enough, so you forget to collect cash? Or forget the card to be returned? I think no. Most likely he really needed help using ATM.

Oh please! Are you REALLY serious? Why not quote the KKK in support of the NAACP????

Refrencing that org is a fail, of course.

But there is no arguing how much easier it is for gay men find sex, and many gay men have sex as often as they want.

I think we are more promiscuous, then straight men, simply cos it takes us much less effort to find sex.

Straight guys have to work harder to get it. If they would have it as easy as we do, they would be just as promiscuous.

One of our own?

 

You've made at least one other post that includes this "us versus them" construct.    I don't remember receiving an invitation to join your group, and would almost certainly decline if offered.

In fact, I don't know you from Adam, so if you got into an argument or physical altercation with one of my Thai in-laws or friends, you'd be one of "them" and certainly not "one of my own".

I meant TV member, one of our own.

But I get what you are saying.

The thing is, wheaher you like it or not, you are one us, foreigners.

I understand you siding with your Thai inlaws, if foreigner would have a fight with Thai. They are your family, it would be very odd if you'd side with stranger.

But are you sure your inlaws would do the same for you?

I have read opinions from people who have lived here 20 years, some say Thais never accept a foreigner, as an equal family member. Some even say you can have a family here, but they consider you somewere between Indian, and dog.

Go back and re-read my post #159 that you snipped, and you will see (in bold letters) "The violence is not justified...."

 

My post in no way supports any act of violence. 

I reread your comment that I quoted, I admit I quotted only that one line, and not your full post. It ended up as if you found drivers action acceptable.

I apologize!

Its just that when I wrote my comment last night, I was so angry... about people demanding to know what was the route, and how much was the disputed fare.

Few seemed to care that one our own was assaulted by a local, and how they get away with, and it is norm in this country.

Yeah, when reading the headline in Huffpost, I thought this is about Tom 'the hammer' Daley, major right wing <deleted>, who gerrymandered the voting districts in US so it is near impossible to vote out people like Bachmann.

The diver coming out is great news, we need more tuff guys coming out, to shake the image that all we gay people want to wear a dress and want to be women.

fairy enough.

you got clipped.

Fairy enough?

How clever!

i don't know why i keep reading this thread. its a bit funny i suppose

..

I know why. Cos it is very interesting thread.

Except I dont find it least bit funny.

Well, there is love..

 

Yes, love is a beautiful thing. I believe man only truly comes alive, when in love. Rest of the time is just vegetating.

But is there anything more painful, heart crushing, than being in love with a person, who's in love with someone else.

And you suggest right away that all is my fault and eight years relationship is just something that has no value to even try to save it?

..

 

You ask for advive, one forum member offers his opinion, and you are not happy about what he said.

Truth is, every relationship is different, no one can give you useful advice, excrpt maybe a close friend, who knows you and your bf well.

You said you hope to work things out, and maybe keep the relationship..

Your bf is in love with another man, what is there left to do or say?

.. willing to get beat to a pulp over 5 or 10 baht ,that doesn't resonate with me..sorry and i realize that you cheapcharlies have to live like that but is it really worth it

Do you really think what happened to OP has anything to do with persons income, being what you call cheap charlie, and not principles?

You think we, Pattaya baht bus users can't afford a car, or a bike?

The point is, we are talking about an expat with about 10 years experience in Pattaya, there are times when you keep your mouth shut, capice,

I thought the point of this thread is how a foreigner can be assaulted by a local, with no concequences usually.

Where do you get that JT was "seriously beat up?"

We can argue about what costitutes being beat up, I'd say he was beat up. OP says he was beat up.

You may argue that since he could still move using his own feet after the assault, it was not really a beating.

This strange comment about being thrown out of pharmacy, a made up fantasy, shows how much this thread is about some forum members personal feelings towards OP, and not about the assault, a criminal act. It is sad.
