KhunLA Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) To the title ... same reason I don't go to any bars with expats. I get enough people complaining about life and bashing Thais right here on AN Sit in a bar or buffet restaurant during daytime ... NO. Don't usually do buffets anyway. At night, unless on the prowl, got better things to do. If on the prowl, it wouldn't be a bar with other expats in there, as they're probably in the P4P bars. Use to attend once a month forum get togethers and quite enjoyable. Once a month was more than enough, though most at night market or open air venue. Early ones were in bars, but think got old fast, and fresh air was a welcome change. Edited February 16 by KhunLA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but old whities are good for a laugh too. My largest ethnic cohort that I hang out with is Chinese potheads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgegeorgia Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 And as this forum is for all south east Asia not just Thailand What about expat clubs in the Philippines? How is the Duamagette expat club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skipalongcassidy Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 21 hours ago, Prubangboy said: Now you're just comically lying. Breakfast at The Duke's March 2nd, Buffet opens @ 9:30 am A great western breakfast buffet for only 395 baht or if you register on the survey link below you will receive a 100-baht discount, making your all you can eat scrumptious breakfast only 295 baht. Best bargain in Chiang Mai. Make your reservations now as we usually sellout early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prubangboy Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 (edited) I thought you were talking about the snore-arama general meeting being "sold out". Plenty of seats available at that heifer-fest. Yeah, Duke's does a nice buffet, sure. Went for Thanksgiving.

Hanuman2547 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I became a lifetime member of the Pattaya Expats Club back in 2006. I have rarely attended any of their meetings since then. I just haven't felt the need or desire to attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of expat wives don’t have the social opportunities that their husbands have through their jobs, and routinely have to adapt to new countries, new schools, etc. The expat clubs are a great source of support from those who have gone through the same.

Lucky Bones Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Now 4+ page thread so I haven't read it. I do recall some 13 years ago, having just moved to Thailand. I went to Pattaya (Mercure Hotel?) meeting, registered & got my life-time card. But I looked and saw a room full of Westeners in Thailand. Hell I just left Westeners behind....not for me thanks. So I guess I turned myself off without attending a possibly singlular valuable meeting. Each to our own.🙃🙃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WDSmart Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I didn't move to Thailand (over 20 years ago) so I could socialize with other ex-pats, especially those who are just here for a vacation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry, there was a story there somewhere, but I couldn't stop staring at his snaggletooth on the lower left. 😁 That story reminds me about the Brit who found a filipina through facebook, moved in with her and she, along with her family fleeced him for 7 years. I heard him described as the stupidest man in the Philippines. The guy was writing a blog on britishexpats.com for years, everyone was telling him exactly what she was doing but according to him he had it under control. The woman had 4 kids from a previous relationship when he thought she had none. I check in sometimes to see if he still around, and he is, surprisingly.
