You do have to box clever, especially after about 11pm when the knuckle draggers start moving from bar to bar.

 

I always cast a careful eye around whilst avoiding eye contact that might invite a conversation.

 

Stick to the bar girls, they will always find your conversations interesting ???

I live in Bangkok and I'm  perfectly fine but if I'd have seen you in a bindippers shirt I'd  have put my lipstick on and given you nice pout ????

At Stamford Bridge you are known as the bin dippers and have been since the 70's. The reason why is probably  lost in the mists of time or explained  above ????

i once bumped into a dude that paid his female company in advance, and then went onto TVF complaining how she was complaining once the money had changed hands,

to get rid of him

Guys I rest my case.

I was thinking more of this but if you see that and think of kissing then no wonder you imagine devils everywhere ????

 

You get that in Pattaya too, last year there was this bogan character who showed me how to cut someone's throat, I could barely understand his English. Then there's the barfly types who bang on, the worse ones try to brag about money, I change the subject quick and they get deflated

The girls attract fantasists from all over the world.

When I go for a beer with my mates in bangers, I don't see any of these "nutters" you mention and I also don't get strangers wandering up to me trying to start conversations. I guess it depends on where you go for a beer

I drink by myself, at my condo or in my GF's village. That way, no-one is trying to get into my head or my wallet.

I live in the middle of Bangkok since two decades. It definitely helps to be at least a little ding-dong, but it's not required.

It seems you visited the wrong place. I never had anybody tell me all that <deleted>, not on one day and not on several days.

Perhaps you have better filters.

Gosh, you have the life Lacessit. 

Is everyone in Bangkok a nutter?

 

OMG, just realised... could this be the reason for the Thai bashing at the drop of a hat?

Went out for a couple pints on Sunday afternoon in the big cheese.

(I’m here meeting a lady friend), she was at work all day Sunday.

met my first drinking companion at 12:30, 

he started banging on about COVID 19 being a hoax.

I moved tables.

next bloke I got chatting to turned out to be a Holocaust denier and a speed freak...

I moved upstairs.

the next bloke I had a chinwag with turned out to be a fraudster working for and Indian call center.

I went back downstairs.

finally the last bloke who struck up a conversation turned out to be skint and unable to pay for his beers.

the cheeky sod asked me to sort him out, I refused and the police were called..

 

got me thinking is everyone in Bangkok off their bleedin nut or what ??? ????

 

 

At least you avoided the flat earther. I had one of them and good grief its the most intensely irritating conversation I have ever had.

Oddly enough he tripped and fell as he was leaving the bar which made me think the earth was not that flat after all.

A pub in downtown Bangkok.

sadly, due to forum rules that’s all I am allowed to say!

You shouldn't have posted BS in the first place

Yes, he's doing it right.

 

When I want intelligent conversation, I stay home and talk with Mrs NL. When I fancy a draught beer, I go to the pub. If someone wants to strike up intelligent conversation with me in that pub, I bring up stuff like the Covid hoax or deny the Holocaust (sic).

It is said the Flat Earthers are very worried about the 2m distancing rule.....they think it might push some of their members over the edge.

Not that one.

the other one.

 

You’re not supposed to be making conversation with people in Baccara !!! 

 

As with this forum there are plenty of nutters out there. 

 

On this forum the anonymity allows for sufficient lubricance for people exude their true opinions. In bars the alcohol does the same. 

 

There are people on this forum with whom a beer and chat would be enjoyable. There are also the complete fruitcakes I’d avoid !!!!

 

Differences are cool, interesting and lead to interesting conversations and polite debate. But some people are just 'too far gone’ for there to be any common ground. 

 

 

Funny the OP should raise this issue - I was in a bar in Bangkok and was explaining to this guy how COVID was an international Jewish conspiracy spread by aliens, and he beggared off without paying for my beer!

So TVF is still populated by independent, silent Marlborough Man types. Probably thinking of the good old days when they could smoke a Strand. 

No, just a bit weird. Happy guys don't volunteer. I volunteered cos it was a way of escaping a very bad situation where I was screwed career wise, healthwise, and relationship wise. A war on two fronts is bad enough, a war on 3 fronts is too much. Luckily it turned out OK, more through luck than judgement. Must admit though, a year or two in Thailand, is worth a lot in terms of experience, especially in the early days, before you get settled with the three dogs, two cats, and the crazy woman.

Wait until you get sat next to some guy who's just done 14 days quarantine, he starts talking to himself
