  • Simple mix-up? Jack, you have to take your meds!

  • Anyone else confused by this? I didn't read anything anywhere about him being deceived by anyone, just confusion and a lack of awareness to where he was going. What deception is this referring to? Did

I think I may have met several of his close relatives in bars who also had the iq of a bucket of mud and couldn't find their rear end with both hands.

He is very lucky. Not because of all the help he received and in not having his wallet stolen, but quite simply because he is still alive.

 

if he has finally found his way to Koh Tao, I hope his luck stays with him and that he stays alive. Others haven’t been so lucky.

Some people just shouldn't be allowed out of their own country !!

 

He probably isn't! I reckon he's escaped! 

 

Jack's even more confused than Scooby Doo!

I heard a good one yesterday... He couldn't empty ditch water out of his shoe if the instructions were on the sole!

Not so bad, he is an experience richer and that's what holidays are about.

That's your quote for anyone who does anything that you consider off, even though it usually is you. It's also a teen aged style of answering. I would recommend you seeing a specialist, but there aren't any medications that help with impulse control disorder. That's usually something a person has to work on themselves, although I'm thinking it wouldn't in this case.

This story makes no sense, all the important details were left out for some reason. How did he get to Doi Tao? He said his driver stranded him but how? It reads like he was taking a taxi from Chiang Mai to Koh Tao but the driver understood it to be Doi Tao (because what moron would hire a taxi to go 800km).

 

Ok so he screwed up and was in Doi Tao, so what? Just a bus back to Chiang Mai and get a flight like you should have done anyways. 

Maybe he wanted the scenic route.

Leave Jack alone!! 

 

He has had an adventure which might have been a lot worse. 

 

It doesn't mean he wasnt foolish and it doesn't mean all people including the police are wonderful and everything is right with Thailand again as this post suggests.

They have his name as Jack,  that is an error, it is Jerk 

Jack off or jerk of* the beaten track?

Feel sorry for him as pronunciation of Thai words in a French accent would confuse the best taxi driver.

Oh la la Jacques,eet iz ze good job you ver not going to Pattaya.You could av ended up in Pattani.

He needs one of Elon Musks or Bill Gates human chip implants so he can be located sooner in the event he attempts to travel to Mars again

Traveling as a back packer in a country you do not know and not even having a compass, even when every smart phone can down load a compass even Google maps! Heading in the opposit direction even after a few minutes should have jumped out at him. This kid has issues!

As a matter of fact, half the population has an IQ below 100.

And as a matter of fact, 34% of the population has an IQ between 85 and 100.

And as a matter of fact, 14% of the population has an IQ between 70 and 85.

And as a matter of fact, 2% of the population has an IQ between 55 and 70.

 

They are part of this world. Are able to get some jobs to get along in life.

The army does not hire people with IQ's less than 80. Just the way it is. No job that they can fulfill in the army.

I hope that the army just tell them that they do not have vacancies at the time, when refusing to hire them.

I hope so. As they are the children of someone, and perhaps children of some members here.

No vacancies now. Better than to call them bonafide morons, and tell them to go look somewhere else for a job.

 

Better to celebrate when they do find a job.

And how about celebrating that this guy found his way after all this ordeal....

Just a way to look at it.....

Ok, can you please refer to all the comments I have made, and then see how many you find of the same kind you are referring too. If you can´t find that, which you can´t. Then maybe you should consider going back to the cave you crawled out of.

All other things you are talking about is totally off topic, but it sounds like something you have great experience of. Good luck in your medication.

You actually said it to me recently, and to others in the past. And you, again, are another one here who assumes things about others, consistently, which is a very childish way of thinking. Many others go off topic here, daily, and it's not unusual because people have their own personal way of looking at things, which might not correspond with others. Also, I'm way more advanced in my thinking, especially where the psychological aspect is concerned, so it wasn't a cave I crawled out of but an easy chair reading books.

Fantastic! We are very honored to have such a bright mind as you among us. Did you talk about that you understand people have different ways of looking at things, and that one persons opinion might not correspond with others? Does that mean, you understand that people here post different things? Yet you complain over my posts, when you can just disregard them or fold them under what you just posted you understand. I would suggest that you read a couple of more books and train up that advanced talent you speak about that you own. Have a great day!
