Nah mate, I actually live in a high-end penthouse with air con, fine wine, imported cheese, two maids, a driver, three honorable consorts on speed dial, steak for dinner every night and furniture that doesn’t collapse when you sit on it. Basically living like a king while everyone else argues about tourist ghettos and rural life in the sticks. Tough life, innit.

Bet you have a golden bum gun too.

Trump approved! Always winning! The art of the bung!

It seems to be that peoples perception and experience of Thailand is heavily dependent on where exactly they live.

 

So, are you in one of the tourist hotspots (aka, ghettos) or are you way out in the sticks, with only a sick buffalo to keep you company??

 

Vote and let’s see what’s what!

 

Mark.


Nice touch that you put in "Still living in my mums basement" as an option just for Susan. I'm sure she is grateful for your thoughtfulness on this.

You have no friends. Ask mum to cook meatloaf tonight back in the UK little boy.

Bit rich coming from you. No one cares at all what you think or write.

You all do. That's why you all replied :cheesy:

No, I don't live among the rice paddies and buffaloes, but close to a small town. And I have less than 3km from my house to a 30km beach without any tourist on it.

Ghetto life. Honestly, you don't need you to post pictures to prove it. We get it. Waste of bandwidth and you're a waste of space.

You can't post any pics except fake ones. Meatloaf in the basement for loser boy :cheesy:

I keep a large condo in jomtein tourist area, which I goto about twice a month.

I live in a pool home in Pattaya dark side.

I also have a micro condo in Bangkok. Only use it during the holidays or when I have visitors from abroad.

Clever how you nick other people's Thai food photos from their Instagram and then post them as your own to try and make it look like you are really in Thailand, when in fact you are still sat in Mungallala pounding your male sex doll 24/7. image.gif.874139a2303ce2ef2e7312ea6ad0882a.gif

Visits from a broad?

 

I see.

I'm in a moobahn on the outskirts of an northeastern provincial capital.

 

I grassed up the local yabaa dealer.

Never heard of Mungallala. You sound like an expert on that and sex dolls :cheesy:

And yet here you are, in the Farang Pub, lording it over everyone.

New policy going forward: any of your idiotic posts that manage to outdo your last one in sheer stupidity will be met with silence. So let’s kick things off properly by ignoring this one. I’m sure there will be plenty more to follow. image.gif.0427c08449d88e2454be95d4649ec9c4.gif

None of the above.

 

I live on the Blue Line corridor and love it.

 

Lots of pretty girls in the half dozen malls, chock full of delicious Thai food, no farang. Open green spaces. Thai prices. MRT miles better than bloody BTS.

 

Don't move here there is no farang food!! Go away now. Danger!!

You question why you get so many thumbs down reactions. You have been found out and the majority of the posters find you boring. 

That's may all be true, but what's your excuse for being in the Farang Pub? We don't need a bouncer.

How is it and which one?

Better than I thought it would be.. certainly not like some UK council estates full of violent yobbos.

 

Bahn Ohh Arton... government  housing project...exact location classified  😋 ..but easy to work out for anyone  reading my posts.

Indeed. It's your username.

 

Having been in South and East Asia for 35 years I lean toward the long game.
