And what do others do here to stay busy? I know a lot of foreigners, and most of them go to bars almost daily. That isn't my thing. Temple visiting ended the first year, when you've seen many, especially the bigger ones, you've seen them all. Only one I'd like to see is Angkor Wat in Cambodia, someday before I leave here. If the beaches were closer, I'd be fishing there, but since I'm in Isaan, there isn't much to do here. Seeing the Hill Tribes around Chiang Mai are on the list before I leave, but that's just one more thing. Watching the rice grow isn't too inspiring, so what more is there here? Most Isaan cities all look the same. Same villages, same shops, same food. Stop whining. Go home. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're a foreigner and not a local in drag, that doesn't look good to the rest of us. We have enough US and Brit bashers here already. If you do it to troll, that's childish, arguing just for the sake of. But it's consistent, so at least you have that. You bash Thailand daily. Go home. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easier just to go to another topic you can make negative comments on.

Again, he assumes what others do here. For all we know, you could be another one who purchases women and doesn't look at them as anything but an object. Easy to judge with no conscience. You might stay in the house all day and never travel. I don't assume to know you other than your snide comments that are usually against farangs.

Gottfrid Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Really!? You bought a pack of plastic bags. Did you get your 84 bath back? The moral of the story, is not at all what you wrote. Here you have the real moral of the story: I made a mistake so I have to make a big deal out of almost nothing just to feel that I have some power over people in the country I am a guest in. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you couldn't grasp the working of the cash register. You just should have taking the money and pay for your goods. I think you enjoyed great Thai hospitality as the people behind you kept quite during these antics. I don't think I could do the same. Not ever coming back is a great decision, staff and customers will be very happy with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to those cities and more.Phuket on my honeymoon, looked okay if you loked towards the ocean, but trashy when you turned around. Bangkok looks like a bigger NYC with smaller buildings and worse traffic and drivers. Went to Mukdahan when I used to cross the river for my visa. Looks just like all other cities, including Sisaket, where I've been many times, and Roi Et. The beaches are pretty and one thing I like, because I fish, and love all saltwater fishing.

I have nothing against Thailand. I just said it's boring in Isaan, and every farang I know here says the same thing, and all go to bars almost daily to converse with other farangs.

Chiang Mai isn't that different. The western food availability (10 years back) used to be the big difference. But now you can buy it all cheaper online and have it delivered anywhere in Thailand.
