Fortunate for them.  Can't imagine how much fun you would be to hang around 🙂

 

The point was. slow down and think this through, they have many options upon there spouses death.  Hang with family, find someone new...  I feel like I'm talking to an angry teenager. 

 

   I felt sorry for them , they had a house in the country side , a car and a motorbike and could speak English and they were selling  sex on the streets for 500 Baht for food money .

You my friend, have entered the fantasy of the soul...otherwise known as ...."love"....just be careful. And remember...it is only a fantasy.

Maybe, I'll take it for now and see where it goes then.

Good for you. So have posters here.  They could survive alone but choose not to.  To each his own.  Your way is not the only way.  You seem to have a huge ego that gets in the way of being happy.  Your choice I guess...

 

  I wasn't saying that my way was the only way , what  makes you think that I meant that my way was the only way ?

   I didn't say that or even suggest it

Same here when I think of you doing it. When I think of doing it it is a beautful exerience though. 

Oh, one of the " hansum man" brigade.

 

Next, I suppose you'll be claiming she's out there working her butt off to support you, while you loll around sipping mai tais.

OK, that is sad and it can happen.    There is a lot to the above story but you have created your story and applied it to all situations regarding Farang relationships.  Much more complicated than that?

Just as well I wasn't drinking coffee when I saw your post.

 

Frankly, the thought of sex with an airhead teenager does nothing for me.

Creepy for them too

Oh I'm not saying I'm beautiful, I'm saying when I picture it with a hot young girl it's a beautiful image.

 

Sadly, she's on Netflix and tik tok all day while I slave away in the salt mines.

not the custom to thank someone verbally for that which doesn't mean it is not appreciated and that you might receive a smile - but you have no interest in learning the language or customs... 

Quite an ignorant lot, their education is poor, so it's more about that than customs, good try

of course, w/o any language abilities you gauge things within your own culture - which may make them seem ignorant - when in reality???

 

I know what your only connection to Thai people is... and yet, why is it that all these "ignorant" Thai ladies, w/little education can learn English while their "educated" counterparts can't manage to scrape together a little Thai language? And customs... 

 

I also find them much more perceptive than most Westerners and communication can go to levels you probably would not understand can exist..  

 

See if you can expand your abilities to see, before becoming a name caller...

The super classical troll from this website!

The post is interesting because, yes the Thais became more rude, and at the 7/11 it's the worst of the worst! 

I even had one who closed her cashier as soon as I arrived to pay. I did nothing wrong, just pure racism. I saw the day coming when I was going to throw the entire content of my basket in her face and to avoid any incident, I walked 200 meters more to go to another one.  And don't make any mistake, at my previous address, I had made friends with a Manager and they perfectly know the customers, especially those who spend more than the average!  Fortunately, this 7/11 has changed ownership and the whole team has changed.  Now they're just perfectly unpleasant, like almost all of 7/11.  No need to tell me that in your 7, the girls are nice, I met them too, 10+ years ago.  The Thais have changed a lot over the last 10 years: the cell phone, the economic recession and the Covid having been there, I don't blame them, it's understandable.  On the other hand, whether in my country or here, I have the habit of not giving my money to frankly unsympathetic shops!  I studied business, I worked for chain stores as an assistant then manager, and - in my country - it is inconceivable not to answer "hello", not to say "thank you" and "goodbye!" I live  in a Thai Thai area, I know perfectly well that people are less rich and more rude, but I educate them with a "Bye-Bye" and a big smile and if at first they laugh, after a while, they do the same. Finally, I avoid chain stores as much as possible. I prefer mini-marts, the covered market and small family restaurants. It's to be preferred, especially since the prices are almost the same. And that has nothing to do with thinking you're someone else. And, if you live in central Bangkok, Pattaya or Phuket, with the flux of customers, I understand that they prefer to work faster than to be polite, but 1/ they are none of them and 2/ not everybody live in these places. 

If you don't understand my point of view, before answering, ask yourself if your not also considered as rude with others.

Oh My Gosh, are ever fortunate to have you here to teach the 7-11 works--the "worst of the worst" you declare, how to properly behave!  What is actually obvious is that you should return to wherever place you came from, but I am guessing they really don't want you there, either!

Probably your Thai language skills aren't great, enjoy your pigeon thai conversations and by the sounds of it prefer Thais than westerners, always a bad sign

yeah, wrong again... I have farang friends and Thai - - and my Thai is very conversational.. just  because you can't do something doesn't mean others can't... sorry. 

 

I probably enjoy learning Thai as much as you enjoy checking your BMI and playing golf. Why don't you try and denigrate me for not being a good golfer? That would work. I am sure you can beat in a round of golf. A feather in your cap.

oh well and why that? oh yes of course, you are the fanboy who can't stand that anyone can say anything negative about Thailand or its people. Who is still in his golden dream: everyone is beautiful, everyone is nice! It's paradise: no crimes, drugs, rapes etc. And then, it's the land of smiles, how rude could they be!!

Come on, take your xanax and go to sleep (make no mistake: pink is xanax, blue is viagra). And yes, non-constructive criticism leads to this type of response.

Finally, if you are not able to evaluate the quality of the service or the welcome of a place, avoid making comments, especially if they are insulting, well hidden behind your computer. The specialty of this site, although basically, it is just about sharing points of view and experiences. You may learn one day that there is not 1 Thailand, but 1000+ Thailand and depending on where you live (north, south, east, west), the people you meet, the fact of speaking the language etc. you can have completely opposite experiences.

You moved to Thailand to avoid Thais. Always a bad sign.

Your comprehension skills are poor, people that prefer Thais or dogs/cats to talk to probably have personality issues

I would seek some kind of therapy if I were you--i simply tell you that you need not be the teacher of 7-11 staff and you go all "bonkers"--u definitely have some deep-seated hostilities that need attention.  If all there horrible things happen here, then don't let the terminal door hit you on the ass on the way back to wherever you came from.

You know .....

.... I really enjoy cooking, healthy, less expensive, and turns out much better than the slop they serve elsewhere ......... usually

 

.... not the case today

 

Wife screwed up the yogurt, timing mostly, which means I screwed up the flatbread.  Oh yea, suppose to be Gyros 🙄

 

Not enough baking powder to compensate for all the extra flour I had to add, to compensate for using kefir instead of yogurt.  Started too late to actually make yeast bread.

 

So it ended up with, to be kind, mediocre Gyro salad, and not entirely bad.  She never lets to food win, and managed something that at least looked like a gyro.

 

Then .... you got 3 different mixing bowls, 3 different pans, cutting boards, and misc, to clean up & wash.  An easy hour+ of effort, to prep & cook, rewarded with a mess to clean up.

 

You sure can't knock 7-11, for convenience and ease, and probably only 2 or 3X the cost for a full up meal.  Sadly today, would have been a more satisfying munch.

 

Did have a nice slice of homemade Apple Pie though.  To be single and living out of that backpack.   

 

"Honey, can we sell the ZS and get that spiffy MG E-van.  Minor conversion, and life is free & easy" ... Twist 'em up .... Party on 😎
