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?

I told you my truth the first post.

You make it sound like no one is telling a truthful rendition of what their 

thai story is. Simply not what occurs. Most people are open and honest why they are here. You're projecting your bias to come with the figure of 1000's of posts.

What "truth" do you need me to get to?

I know what a troll is and you match the description.

rather strange reply from a so called boss of corporate America, am with the other posters and calling troll.

Yes you call it as you see it because you are the definition of the post. Story teller. And this post has touched a nerve in your life that you feel like you continually have to respond to.

 

If your life is so wonderful and not made up, why do you feel the need to join in with all the other story tellers?

 

Truthful answer would be appreciated

That is where we disagree, most posters are not honest and hiding behind a keyboard because they know they won't ever have to prove anything.

 

As one other poster has already pointed out, there are many expat weirdos you seem to refuse to acknowledge.

 

Are Thai school teachers "well off" or just surviving? There are quite a few stories how well off some people claim to be on a Thai teaching salary. Care to share any details or are these people just making this stuff up?

 

Nothing trolling about trying to get to the truth.

 

How much money do you need to make in Thailand to be able to afford a house, car, insurance, savings, etc. because after 4 pages of posts, not one poster has answered the main question?

my son did teach many of the silly English weekend camp thing years ago outside from BKK and seen  (or heard) many a guy like the OP talks about.

tall American guys over 6ft nearly always will be SAS or ex army and so secret they cant tell their real name. my son call em <deleted>!

 

The French guys are also hard to take apparently always bragging about how many woman they bed.555

All of them talking over each other, trying to outdo each other with fantastic stories.

 

Actually even they will rubbish the real person who just shut his mouth and is there to DO the work they supposed to. horrible things.

I actually ban him to go them in the end if they paying 1500 a day i give him 5000 to stay home and not have to deal with idiots.

Thank you for your post. In search of the truth there are answers behind the typical "troll" answer.

Not sure who your reply is to, however, just another example of making up a story.

 

Which is exactly what this post is about. People resort to telling stories when something is posted that hits a personal nerve.

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?

Since you asked: You complain about Farangs and tell everyone that's why you live as far away from Farangs as possible in Thailand, then seem to spend a lot of time needing to speak with other Farangs online and tell them this.

And I don't, and it gets really boring hearing from other farangs like you about how much they hate farangs....So you should either stopping whining about "d-head" farangs, and try some positive discussions, or join a Thai forum and complain about Farangs there instead. Walk the talk bro.

no problem

the point as they say, you can be anyone you want on the net

AND when in Thailand the young insecure and broke backpacker who really have not a hat to pงss in

 can talk up on how good they are. 

 

Is call EGO

 

anyway the answer might help explain the 2nd next most loved OP "troll" that will post a thread..

"why dont farang acknowledge others here?"

Are you a native English speaker, or just someone who comes across as a bit thick?

Because you don't seem to have understood anything I wrote.

Anyhow, no more from me, just confirms my previous thoughts.

GFY.

you're really going to say GFY ....Seriously? And that is why you prove the OP's point about foreigners in Thailand. Angry sad people.....and may I add losers as well.

So much for trying to add some positive discussion to these webforum ..?sweet dreams princess

Most Farangs are probably lodged somewhere in the middle of the 2 categories that the OP mentions.

"Braggards" are easily de-masked, just follow them home. If he lives in a 6000 Bht fan room and drives a rusty bike, his claims to be a real-estate tycoon and owner of 17 hardware stores back home would indicate that he is venting hot air.
"Braggards" can make for amusing company. Just say no, when he is in need of 500'000Bht to bridge over a temporary "liquidity-bottleneck".

I insist: TRULY wealthy Farangs are not likely to spend their retirement years in Thailand.
              TRULY undercapitalised Farangs are likely to spend their retirement years in Cambodia or Eastern Timbuktu.
So again, most Farangs are probably lodged somewhere in the middle of the 2 categories that the OP mentions (most of them not feeling the need to brag about anything).
Cheers.

No longer an expat. Moved back to Florida in 2013.

so that explain everything , you're probably so old that you cannot even hold your shit and need to rant on a forum...

[from the home of CC]

I dunno amigo, IMHO you're either trolling or you have a classic sociopath/psychopathic personality. You seem to revel in trying to coerce  people into making potentially unpleasant self examinations. The sociopath by coincidence, is usually a trait associated with successful business people, due to the fact they lack empathy enabling them to be ruthless to people without guilt. You seem to have the empathy level of a cockroach.

Would the OP say that to our faces? Perhaps he would - but then he would run to the police. LOL

What does this have to do with the post?

 

This is the stupidest thing I have ever read here.

 

Are you offended because you are an offender and your entire existence is a made up story?

Your answer definitely fits the bill about what this post is about.

 

People get really bitchy when a posts comes close to home and hits a personal nerve with them like this did with you.

 

You join the list of posters here that have made up a story just on this post alone.

 

Trying to guess and make up stories of things you have no idea about.

 

No even close to retirement age, so your assessment is completely false and made up.

 

You should learn to read, contribute the topic and keep your personal bitterness to yourself.

Duane, let is go.

 

You don't need to post 10 times.

 

You are a school teacher yet you fail to comprehend this post is about getting answers.

 

As many have stated, yes in fact there are many that live in Thailand that make up outrageous stories and we are trying to get to the bottom of why it is these people cannot tell the truth of how they live?

 

It is pretty simple really, however this post has stirred a lot of emotions where people turn it into personal attacks and never answer the post.

 

Here is a reply from Kadilo

 

65,000/month is “barely enough to live on?”

 

Well it sounds like to him that is an awful lot of money. Yet back to the post. What does live really mean? Category A buying a house, car, insurance, tuition or Category B the one room flat option?

 

65,000k a month is like minimum wage in the USA. 

[lemonjelly]

Trolling an expat forum from a country one has left several years ago isn’t my idea of being “a success”, rather having nobody to talk to or a lack of imagination in finding something better to do with one’s spare time.

Why don't you stick to the post and answer truthfully how exactly it is you live on 65,000 a month?

 

Own a house? Own a car? Have medical and life insurance? Tuition for any kids? Savings? Retirement?

Just admit it, you’re all upset because Observer put you on ignore earlier on cos you kept stalking him for your “evidence” 

 

Move on else you will miss making another Million. 

 

 

.......and you join the club who would rather be living in Thailand. I can’t think of any other reason why you would keep trawling individuals otherwise.

Another story teller to add to the list for this one particular post.

 

Your idea or opinion doesn't mean anything to anyone. This post is not about success so why not stick to the post and provide some answers instead of making it a personal attack.

 

What this post has done is pee-off those that the shoe fits and others agree with the post that yes indeed there are some real issues with people telling all kinds of stories.

Just like how you “made a killing and living it large” in your world is no interest or business of mine.

If the shoe fits, wear it.

 

You chose your life and if you cannot tell the truth and have to make up stories to make yourself feel good, please do but understand you are not fooling everyone.

 

These posts always touch a nerve and people can never respond to the post because it hurts them to know the truth that they are not living the life they claim to be.

 

Same as you.

 

You can never answer the question but will post a bunch of dumb shit deflecting the answers away from yourself.

 

You are obviously upset to make you respond many times without once answering the post.

The fact that if only one agreed, means there is at least one truthful person reading this post.

 

I am still waiting for you to answer the questions after a dozen posts?

 

Should not be that hard for a school teacher to answer a question factually instead of bombarding with personal attacks.

 

The fact you are still up at 1:00 AM posting to this is evidence it must have hit close to home.
