Agree 100%.

The guy needs to lighten up, enjoy the LOS and stop judging, people in Glass Houses.

Don't live in a glass house mate... It's made of bricks.

Sounds to me like you are projecting your own bigotry and other issues on others, and the 'now sod off' is actually you sayng it to yourself. Me thinks you have a lot to work out before you're happy. Good luck 

I think you had an IQ test and it was a bit higher than you expected and it's gone to your head.

You a phsycology student par chance?

Nevertheless - good analysis with hints of truth, but nowhere near enough to win the holiday in Portugal, you walk away with a small portable TV and a set of knives.

P.S. Where about's in Banglumpoo are you staying? I'm popping over there on Tuesday and am free for an hour if you want to discuss this further over a cold Kloster.

I was in Ploen Chit the other day and passed another farang who acknowledged my existance as a fellow farang and actually gave me a little "alright mate" smile and a tiny nod. I was very surprised.

I am 28 yrs old and because I have age on my side I find that I get looked down upon by most expats as if they resent the fact that people younger than them are discovering Thailand and coming to live here on their territory.

The worst are the one's in the 25-35 age group, standing on the skytrain with their Tesco Lotus short sleeve blue shirt and 'Yes I'm just a teacher' satchel with shoulder strap.

Some of them strut about like they own the place, they don't acknowledge taxi drivers, don't wai anybody and don't stand up for pregnant or elderly women on the Skytrain. They should cheer the ###### up because quite frankly they are bloody lucky to live here as a guest in this country - we all are.

What do these people think when they see me?

"Oh I bet he's a backpacker that doesn't want to go home cause he's had to much caramel vagina and Chang, I'm better than him".

Make a conversation with these people and they seem stand off ish, but soon realise they were wrong to judge and start talking to you like a fellow farang only they make a point of telling you that they never go to Kaosan Rd and they try to mention places they think you won't have heard of and, if given the opportunity, they will show off their ability to speak fluent Thai.

Now listen, I am guilty of this snobbery too, to a certain extent - especially when I am in Bunglumpoo, and I go to Kaosan Rd often as I know many people who work there, and I don't like the soi Rambuturi types who think they are at one with Thailand because they've cancelled their trip to Australia and spent the past six weeks getting stoned with Thai rastas, getting tatoos and listening to Bob Marley.

They make give the younger expats a bad image, but expats of any age that are so snobbish that they look down upon most of the Thai's as well? - That's not acceptable. I have a certain degree of snobbery because I don't want to be associated with pot-head backpackers, new age hippies and hungover so called teachers.

As for the proper teachers and the type of expat I have been talking about... Cheer up and stop judging everyone and fearing that you're losing your beloved country to other westernern men, it's not your country for starters and never will be.

In my personal experience the over 50's are the nicest expats, they are full of knowledge and wisdom and are too long in the tooth to get all childish and snobby because they enjoy the finer things in life - and strutting about with a satchel hanging off your shoulder, thinking that you're better than everybody else and you know the score is not fine.

Grow up you sad little men and smile at your fellow farang if he smiles at you, if you can't do that then go back to England or wherever it is you originally came from.

Respect for what isn't yours.

Attitude to life.

The way you treat people.

These are the things that make you worthy - not how long you've been here, what your job is or how much Thai you speak.

Now sod off.

How Thai are you?

I was born in Colchester, my mum was born in Manchester and my Dad was born in Melbourne but I consider myself very Thai.

I've got black hair and if there are people walking behind me who are in a hurry then I am completely oblivious to them as I plod alone at a third of the normal walking speed for a homo sapien.

Sorry if this seems a bit trivial, it hardly justifies a fresh thread I know but I got caught in one ###### of a downpour earlier after work and my expensive leather shoes are totally sodden.

We're not having much sun these days so how can I get them dry by Monday?

This is important so does without forking out on a new pair does anybody know what I can do? 

Regarding these (######) - IMHO not a swear word but a four letter word which is the name of the place that Christians believe you go when you die if you're refused entry into heaven.

*See forum support desk.

Hi FSD,

You know that thread I did on 'Drying Out Shoes', well I can't remember what exactly I said but it was how the ###### can I get them dry by monday?

###### being the opposite of heaven, that four letter word that begins with 'H' and ends in two 'L's, and has an 'E' in between.

Surely this is an error, is it really that bad a word. We can say shit and <deleted> but can't say that and looking at my post anyone would think i'd said something really rude.

Cheers,

Ambo

P.S. And if the place downstairs where the devil resides is a bad swearword then shouldn't it be four #'s and not six?

I'm pretty sure you can by potatoes in Lotus and Big C, so when you get off your little white arse you can boil them up in chunks and make mashed potato with cheese from Villa mixed in, butter, a little milk and cracked black pepper - have that with a nice pork chop and some peas (if they're available) and Bob's your mothers brother.

Good luck with this girl, if she moves in you could get her to make your potatoes while you're on your way home from your shit job.

This forum needs Yohan like a tortiose needs mudflaps.

I take that back actually, sorry, it just sounded funny.

The thing about Yohan is that he does take life a bit seriously and is a bit heavy for many people but I don't think he should be banned.

Did anyone see the great lengths he had gone to to have a go at me after I said he spoke a lot of rubbish? He sifted the forum for quotes of mine that would be evidence against my case for getting a job at the embassy.

It was the funniest thing I have ever read on here and I got some weired looks in the internet cafe as I was crying with laughter.

Medicinebox, Stroll, KevinN, Mbkudu...

Thankyou!

That seems to have done the trick.

They are a little stiff but just need a good polish.

This forum won't be the same without his energy and his European accent that I hear in the back of my head when reading his postings like the voiceover in a movie when somebody reads a letter.

oih..

What sort of post is that Rainman? And is that really you in your avatar you ponce?

Why can't you be anonymous and mysterious like the rest of us?

Anyway, I'd be happy with a girl who had 1,3, and 4... Had a quick look on Bangkok Chat but couldn't think of an original chat up line.

I actually thought Bluecat was a moderator... Shows how much I know.

Can you be more specific?

I would have been more specific but I had my left hand half way up my back, scratching like a maniac, I had to leave the net cafe and go home to take a cold shower. Afterwards I was still itchy and as I was scratching my upper back and arms I noticed that by rubbing the damp skin:- dirty, wet, dead skin would roll off - not dissimilar to the effect that rubbing wet cardboard with your thumb would have.

This has happened before and it makes it itch more, so I put a shitload of Protex Cooling Talc on, which is no easy task when you've yet to meet a woman on the internet who will do it for you, (*see another post I did) - anyways, I put lots on and took a valiumesque type pill I use to make me sleep on the plane and I was okay again, but I could do without the constant hassle of all that polava, I had ripped my shirt off in fustration when I got in and kicked my wastepaper bin over the balcony onto somebody's food stall roof and it's no laughing matter because it really does get to you and I hate it.

I know this happens to a lot of people so I didn't rush back to finish my post as I knew this would take off just fine.

I'll try to find some of them Laurawhatsit pills and hope for the best.

great idea ,how about getting a trained monkey also to hold your tips cap!!

Look at my avatar box! I've got a new hat, but Scampy can't put it on the floor because it's new see.

My skin itches most evenings and usually on my back.

I second that, it's great walking about with your knob out but best done inside the privacy of ones apartment.

I do not think, anybody is interested in my daily English exercise, except you. Seems you like reading so much. Enjoy, little troll.

Are you done?

...Good.

I was just going to say that farang women in Thailand on the whole are not very forthcoming because they understandably assume we men are not interested.

However, start talking and they are very nice... On the whole.

Go to a Supermarket or Shopping Mall. Stay away from the Bars, easy.

Very few on this forum would know as most have BG's as partners, will give you bad advice as they are in denial themselves.

Chiang Mai has the "Central" shopping mall as I have just come back from a short stay there, loads of opps here.

<deleted>.

Good point, honesty and dishonesty is relevant to all human beings.

Sorry to bring this up and stray somewhat, but Yohan - I've just read the postings since my last and as a result my stomach aches and I have tears streaming down my cheeks.

I'm sure you're not a bad guy either and if you don't have a good sense of humour then you should have. A little banter is good for the soul, have a good flight.

I do less laundry cause now I don't wear skivvies and socks.

That may very well be the case but if you are changing your clothes and showering twice or thrice a day like the rest of us then surely your laundry output would increase would it not???

There's a bunch, ambassador, but they are somewhat of a tease.

eg peoplemeet.com where you set up a profile, and can then enter a search for likely young lasses in Thailand - but if someone sends you a flirt or a message, you must subscribe before you can read it.

match.com, yahoo personals etc all the same.

But it is fun reading through all the profiles online!

and as Phazey says, if you're not over 18 get mum's permission first....

I have to set up a profile? That means scanning pics and all that stuff right? Don't have time tonight but I will get round to it and let you know if anything(one) comes up.

Will have to check with my mum first also.

Is there a chatroom or forum where decent Thai girls log on to find a foreign boyfriend who can view her profile and get to know her etc... etc...

I spend more time on computers than I do in bars and I am a bit shy when approaching girls so this would be very useful.

I'm currently living cheaply in Chaing Mai but am coming to Bkk to start work and get an apartment near the city.

All countries have their stereotypes; the English for hooliganism, the Aussies for drinking beer, the Italians for being ladies men and the French for passing stools in the shower and pushing them through the plughole with their big toe.

As for poor Thailand, if there's one country that suffers from negative stereotyping then this is it.

I couldn't be bothered to read all the posts, not least because it's a daft question.

As for Yohan, his posts should be shorter because he talks a lot of rubbish and the little that I read is in an irritating European accent.

His avatar could also be toned down a little and he should calm down a bit but I wish him no harm.
