Popular Post Pattayabeerbacon Posted April 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2019 We dont fit in for many reasons.... I see alot of farangs turn to WIFI addiction, alcoholism and excess vice. Are we all wanting to come to a place that does infact no want or need us ? Im quite sure if we were truly welcome we could start doing menial jobs and get long term visas like in cambodia.... Instead farangs are all in some Temporary limbo of nothingness unable to participate or contribute to the society. Only to spend and then move on, In that case, is that what Thais really want......For farang to spend his money then move on?? 2 7 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you want to include all farangs in your concocted little victimhood? It is YOU who apparently doesn't fit anywhere.

Popular Post Old Croc Posted April 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2019 I don't fit the shirts, nor particularly into the community. The latter concerns me little, as I have rarely been a comfortable fit anywhere else, and I'm long past seeking approval from inconsequential judges. I have no interest in gaining permission to perform menial jobs here, I did plenty of them in my early days. I'm well aware of my status here being akin to that of an ATM, and revel in it rather than revile it. An average income at home makes me a rich man here and buys almost anything I require these days. I do have a WIFI addiction (I'm currently watching the AFL on my new 55inch screen). Unfortunately my days of alcoholism and excess vice are now just part of memory. I've participated and contributed to my home society way above the average and received little recognition for my troubles. I have no interest in trying to do so in Thailand, beyond looking after my adopted family. Thailand suits me fine because I have more than enough to fit in, to my satisfaction. The yearly visa extension drama is just an annoyance, not a game changer. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
