Every thing you say will be repeated back at you as a deflection or projection. Everything they've ever assumed will be their truths, and every time they've lied and been caught out, it will be dismissed as you're the liar with the rant and rage problem.  This is psychology just as I first learned it, and them taking center stage and thinking it's about us is extremely funny. So much to hide in their own lives so it's put on you, thinking other flying monkeys will join in their game, all the while not realizing this is an adult forum, and mental illnesses are pretty well known by the time you hit your 20's.  You would think they would just go away, after exposing themselves to everyone and one still doesn't understand why he has such a negative reputation here.  One asks to meet up as if anyone here would want to be in that company. Instability can be dangerous so it's best to avoid those types, as they can go off kilter in person when called out as they really are. The other part I like is their replies when they're busted. The closer the truth hits home to them, the more angry they get and they forget what they said before so it's like a cut and paste redundancy. Psychology 101.  Cue the you live 30KM from a 7-11, have no life, are lonely, rant and raging, failed marriages, live in Nakhon Nowhere, everything you write is ChatGPT, no gym near you, never been to Chiang Mai, you always lie, you're so gay, date ladyboys, stuck in Sisaket, slept with 100 women yet preach religion, 90 failed relationships, act like a 16yr old, along with all the other teen responses, all the while he's still not answered how he can be living here without a retirement or working visa, uses one woman after another, "roots" them 300 times then moves on, uses AI from a lack of knowledge and education, dismisses yours, belittling things he doesn't understand, while his partner has an 11 year relationship with a women yet dates and has other locals pay for his meals, deflects everything you say, assumes as much or more than his crony, brings up the falsities he made up about you in the past, and both change their usernames like underwear, trying to escape detection. Sad but true.</description><pubDate>Sun, 05 Jul 2026 22:39:45 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Miserable expats</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1398039-miserable-expats/?do=findComment&comment=20584961]]></link><description>He talks like a former NASA guy but only achieved a certificate in nutrition.

Get today's headlines by email   Thailand&#x2019;s Immigration Bureau said the arrests followed a request from the Chinese Consulate&#x2019;s police office in Kunming. The suspects, identified only as Mr Y, 43, and Ms M, 34, both Chinese nationals, had their Thai visas revoked after they were confirmed to be wanted under arrest warrants issued by Chinese authorities.  The operation was ordered by Immigration Bureau Commissioner Lt Gen Phanumas Boonyalak and senior immigration officials. Officers from Immigration Division 1 worked with the Crime Suppression Division to locate and detain the pair after intelligence showed they were staying at a hotel in Pattaya.  According to Chinese authorities, the suspects are accused of operating an unlicensed medical business linked to illegal surrogacy. Investigators allege that between March and May 2026, Mr Y acted as the head of a network managing premises used for an unlawful surrogacy operation, while working alongside Ms M through Hangzhou Shengbao Medical and Health Technology Co., Ltd.    Chinese investigators claim the company secretly operated an unlicensed medical facility providing embryo transfer procedures and illegal surrogacy services for profit. Authorities said the operation attracted a large number of Chinese clients and involved multiple individuals, with substantial sums of money circulating through the network.  The investigation also alleges the group became involved in a serious dispute with one client during an embryo transfer procedure. Chinese authorities said the circumstances may be linked to additional criminal offences, with the wider investigation continuing.   Picture courtesy of SiamNews  After confirming that both suspects had travelled to Thailand, the Immigration Bureau revoked their visas. Immigration investigators and Crime Suppression Division officers then tracked the pair to a Pattaya hotel, where they were taken into custody without incident.  SiamNews reported that both suspects have been transferred to an immigration detention facility, where they will remain pending deportation to China to face legal proceedings. The Immigration Bureau urged members of the public to report foreign nationals suspected of involvement in criminal activity. Information can be provided to local immigration offices or through the Immigration Bureau hotline 1178.
