Well thank you for telling the truth and not turning this into a personal bashing.

Haha and you are naturally trained to do this by your years of training in the;  SAS/Marine Corps/ Seal Team 6/Special Forces/ Anti Terrorist Police/ Bat cave/ Brownies/ Girl Guides  (Delete as appropriate).

I think the OP is the one FOS.

 

Every few months he comes on here slagging off Thailand and the expats who have successfully made it their home. He also doesn't miss an opportunity to regale us with the wonderful life he has now. 

 

Reality for him is probably a bedsit in Detroit with only a laptop and Thai visa to keep him company.

 

I have never met any ex special forces, just a couple of Walter Mitty types, but met plenty of professional people in good jobs, raising families and enjoying all the things Thailand has to offer.

Er, I hate to tell you this dude, but most "Ferangs" anywhere in the world inc their home land are "dickheads".

Sorry, but the vast majority of "normal citizens" anywhere in the Western world and involved in the Rat Race are "not my cup of tea".

 Hence why I am happy living in SE Asia in the middle of Nakon Nowhere.

Peace.

Ok, learn how to read.

 

The post is about getting to why expats can't seem to tell the truth.

 

You fit right into the making up stories categories with your comments about Detroit. Completely made up and that is what this post is about.

 

You cannot answer the post, you make up stories so you just proved 100% this post is spot on.

 

The post touched you in a way you have to personally respond by making up stories.

 

Not hard to understand. 

 

I also didn't know you followed me so closely to know I come on here every few months????? Weird!

 

What I do state is the truth, I moved (truth), back to corporate america (truth), making the $$$$ truth

 

The only ones that need to make up stories are those that are well below retirement age, slagging off in the third world with no plan, and unable to accept and tell the truth about it so they bash others that have made something of themselves.

 

What professional people are you referring to? Since you mentioned plenty? And what jobs are they doing? Start with some facts please.

Sounds good to me.

Why do you think so many people in Thailand tell stories to make themselves better off than they are?

The vast majority don't. Most expats I've met here simply tell you their story honestly by and large.

No one knows if the tales you are telling are true with the high paying job in Florida, but no one gives a s###.

Er, I hate to tell you this, Mr Counter-Of-Posts, but I have only posted 3,401 times (which in hindsight is approx. 2401 times too many, but I digress)prior to this post, spread over nigh on 7 years..

Where as I note you have 70 posts more on this "web forum".

So your point is what exactly?

How do you claim the mast majority don't when this forum is full of thousands of them?

Another example, which I will keep pointing out, of people making up stories.

 

Culture shock? How about answer the intent of the post?

Because there aren't "thousands" of people claiming to special forces, cia, fbi, you name it. 

There are some, that's it.

Can't you just tell him a lie and then kill him anyway, for the sheer hell of it ?

 

I'd do it myself but I'm too busy running 25 high-performing businesses and plying my SAS mates with booze while they protect my stash of gold and diamonds plus 5 ultra-collectable cars.

 

I know you've got nothing to do but sit in your workshop, TG, fettlin' your bikes.

 

OK you've caught me out in my lying, bwpage3. I'm just a boring, retired engineer biker. No BMW but my Honda car gets me there just as quickly. No hoards of cash. Nobody I feel the need to impress (especially the type of bloke you seem to be). All I have is a family life that makes me happy and content. Don't need any more.

Nice rant. 

 

Hey OP, you spend way too much time on ThaiVisa, it's starting to get to you.

[bwpage3]

There are some, that's it.

There are 1,000's of people making up stories here every month about all kinds of things as others have already pointed out.

 

Give you credit for telling the truth your a school teacher.

i may have made up 1 story, only you are saying it's not true.

 

Regarding professional people, i socialise with Business owners, Schoolteachers ( yes it's a professional occupation for most ) and  many in my own technical field. I also enjoy going for a beer and meet plenty of other rational down to earth normal people a world a way from what you describe.

 

Don't have to stalk you to know who you are, your posts are all the same and all rather tedious.

Well there is one in the plus column for telling the truth +1

 

PS I don't feel the need to impress anyone. What does that get you in terms of dollars and cents?

I like the idea when I get bored, I can wind up all the armchair warriors in Thailand, touching a nerve and getting lots of bitterness, bashing and incitement comments.

 

What I do get is very few of the truth, so this must be touching a nerve with some folks.

Admitting you're a troll is  something to be admired?

The bitterness, bashing and incitement started in your OP.

Must fancy me to remember me and single out all my posts?

 

Kind of strange with all the posts here.

Ah, the very definition of a troll and flame poster. Come on, Mr. Mod., where are you?

Do you know what a troll is Duane? Come on now your a school teacher.

 

Words that incite actions, feelings, nerves, positive or negative are not trolls.

 

The evidence is you have already had to post 10 times on this topic without ever getting to the truth and if you can read through this entire forum and not find 1,000's of cases of people telling stories, you must be reading between the lines.

 

Let it go, we all know it is true, just who will stand up and admit it?

Flamers are the respondents not the person seeking the truth.

 

Do they not have freedom of speech in Thailand anymore?
