how much does your copium dealer charge? I'd like to get some of that.

Why? I don´t get it. Why should things I can´t change annoy me? Do you like to make yourself suffer?

There are none. No stickers at all. It's wonderful.

Where's that. Stickers help you.

Anywhere where they can read what's already printed on the packaging.

 

The stickers don't help me at all, because I'd be able to read what's on the packaging. I don't need the sickers.

Asking for no chillies all the time

[DonniePeverley]

Benidorm Brits. 

 

Horny Indian men who have no shame in soliciting infront of families.

 

Racist British guys in Pattaya pontificating about immigration and Brexit. 

 

Cheap backpackers who take up much needed tourism space. 

 

Follow the flag lemmings. 

 

Taxi drivers.

 

'Influencers' who lie about the cost of living in Thailand and sell unrealistic expectations. 

 

The group involved in removing all visa restrictions. 

[Krillin]

Sexpats and chilis in every other dish.

That's a good attitude to have but some things can't merely be accepted. Noise and pollution are the two main ones you get way more of in Thailand than back home and they affect your body and nervous system.

 

Best you can do is try to mediate it but it's never not going to be annoying to be woken up by loud music or having smoke fill up your house because your neighbor decided he wanted to burn some leaves.

You're not being entirely fair here. Clearly you should be keeping the Indians out of the UK then? You've made your opinion very clear about Indians so you should be in agreement with them on this one issue at least.

I saw a big fat turd filled diaper dumped on the road today as I rode past it. They couldn't even be bothered to throw it far out into the woods where someone can't ride over it. When that thing gets run over and explodes I hope no one is nearby.

They should have denied Trumps visa.

If I dress more nicely will that stop the streets of Bangkok from smelling like shìt and clean up all the discarded cooking oil? Will it increase wages for the downtrodden serfs and increase the price that rice farmers can get for their crops? Will it mean less annoying white-skinnd hi-sos in ads and on the telly? Yeah, didn't think so. I could go on but you get the picture. 

 

1. It's not a quid pro quo.

2. You have control over what you wear and your appearance.

 

I absolutely guarantee appearing and smelling clean and being better dressed will greatly change outcomes in interactions with people and especially Thais.

 

Even paying full price at Uniqlo short and shirt around b1500. If you shop about paying 400b for a shirt, 400b shorts easy. Uniqlo just had sale on shorts 500b. Decent looking, proper shoes 1200-2500b.

 

Trouble is they don't care.

 

This also projects: I have no women in my life.

 

In Bangkok no less the vast majority of western men are roaming around Sukhumvit in tired, black t-shirts and worse singlets. Cargo shorts complete the farang starter pack. One drunk about 60 I see regularly who is absolutely trash wears a tired black singlet, cargo shorts and flip flops. Of course, he's a broke drunk. Women just as bad. Always overweight (as many men), overexposed. They seem to think bc they're uncomfortable in the heat it's license to wear next to nothing. If they were hot no complaints, but they're gross.

 

Black has been exhausted, it's not a cool color when everyone is wearing it. Sometimes I see idiots in Thailand usually UK wearing all black and long sleeve shirt. In they mind probably thinking they're cool like Johnny Cash. Look like a joker from the 80s.

 

Then there are the tattoos 🙄

 

Improve your life immediately dress better, shave and wear shoes in BKK ffs

Ok, I agree with the pollution, but where I stay, it´s on a fairly acceptable level. After that, we not have problem with noise nor neighbours burning things here. Burning happens maybe on 2 occasions per year and noise 2-3 times. That is totally acceptable.

Tourists.

I like the female Vietnamese tourists, very friendly girls, always smiling and talking nicely to me on the streets of Bangkok. 

 

I get the occasional fondle around my lower region at times, they have very soft hands 😏

Rainy season, mosquitoes, gnats and ants, reckless drivers, H Pylori, meat left out uncovered, greedy expectations of some women, schools passing children who fail and not teaching English properly, trash thrown everywhere, neighbors stealing your produce, poisoning of animals, lack of care for children, demeaning of women, and foreigners that trash talk other foreigners, assuming they know all by just a few.

Maybe I did and maybe I didn't. You get quite a few daily, and not from just the omnipresent emoji addicts. It would improve things if every post you didn't put down foreigners. I get a few every day myself, but it's likely from the same 5 or 6 here that troll relentlessly.

I've met quite a few living here and most seem okay. Of course I won't judge them as I only see them once in awhile but they acted amicable those times. Only two I've seen were a little out there, but they were drinking so again I don't assume. Talking to foreigner friends here I get the same vibe, that they're usually okay, especially the married ones. I am talking about residents and not tourists as I know some tourists anywhere will think they can wreak havoc and not care because it isn't their country.

I'm a foreigner, and in a foreign land where we are the minority, and sometimes looked at with hate and prejudice, we should stick together. You can see all the thumbs down you get when you say things like that, as it isn't only me. There's enough prejudice in the world, and putting down others because of their nationality, race or creed only makes it worse. And it's mainly foreigners against foreigners.

What did these people used to do before they got access to the electric speakers and amplifiers? they should start doing that again.

 

Ah yes , but back in those days they were all very very very unhappy. Life was just not worth living. Then loudspeakers were invented and Old Siam became the land of smiles.

[ravip]

Loud mouthed foreigners with an entitled attitude,  in public places - BTS, restaurants etc.
