Mr Hummin, how old are you, and when was/will be your Prime?

I past my prime 15 years ago, and haven't soured yet, and have no intention to go sour, 

 

That's why I make changes to status q 😄

He's never been to any of the big parks in Bangkok, nor into a Thai 7-Eleven for that matter, so he wouldn't know.

Same here. I go along with my feelings, after 50 years on the road as a musician, a lot in your country, I can adapt to anything.

But with that experience, I cannot tolerate idiots, liars, cruel and unkind people

I like to help people.

Thanks but no thanks I get along fine without your B/S stories.

MY EXPERIENCES. Nothing more, nothing less, 

Bob memorably said that his wife's back portal was so blown out that he could barely touch the sides.

 

More, Bob, More.

There is definitely a noticeable negative and nasty side to this AN forum, much more noticeable than any of the other internet forums I look at.  So many threads just deteriorate into back and forth bitching, and there are many here who instantly jump down others throats, it's like they go through every post looking for some point they can seize upon to use against the OP.  Because of this I personally don't post much here, and I've given up asking anyone for advice due to smart-ass nasty responses. 

I understand what you are saying, but I live up country and have no other farangs to speak to and the help I have recieved from AN posters on different things has been first class.

Unfortunate, you can't escape, the society is flooded with all kinds of troubled people, and to be true, it have been a nice escape in Isaan living outside the village on a big land away from close neighbors. But, not sustainable for long due to the heat and prolonged burning season, and lack of common sense. The latter I can live without for months, and go back to my country or visit friends down south when needed.

Yes Hummin. Like you, I live in the middle of nowhere, 35 km from Phitsanulok City. I am the only Falang around. My Mrs family all live very close, but give me no problems, or ask for money! The burning has just started but seems quite calm this year. The common sense is as usual for most Thais, very lacking in it. I try not to get involved in things which don't affect me personally, like Trump or Starmer, my Grandson is more important to me.

After Covid the situation has generally gotten even worse, I noticed.

I agree - during Covid there were more "positive" people...

I was positive 3 times too.

Very well said!

I'm now visiting smaller towns to see if I could live here. Now in Sisaket.

I could live here with somebody (gf, partner, wife) but not all the time. The weather is very nice! 28 C days, nights cool 16-19 C. People are wonderful too.

 

Next maybe to Philippines to see how I feel to be there.
