Lol, the pretentious hi-so brigade have arrived.

 

"I never pay for any woman- never heard of such a thing- my wife buys me presents"...

 

Lol, all mouth and nothing behind it. Then they go home to their 46 year old menopausal turkey of a wife.

 

No thanks.

 

Yes we stay with our wife/gf out of choice, we too have wallets, we could buy a new young bar girl every day, we choose not to as we have relationships with our women.

 

Go home to your bar girl, you are not special, any idiot can buy one.

 

Or maybe you are one of those idiots who think young women like old men, a simple test would be to stop paying for her and see what happens. 😄

Erm, she has her own money, property which she worked for by setting up her own business.

 

You would never know such Thai women exist as they do not hang around girly bars, you are the hypocrite thinking young bar girls fancy you, we could easily do what you do, you could never find a woman who does not want you for your money so you pretend they do do not exist, that is very sad my friend.

Lol, oh I've met them, opinionated, self-centred and difficult, total nightmares of women. Once they turn 45 plus and head towards menopause only a true fool would accept  putting up with that.

 

And you subsidised her business, paid her rent, food, you paid for her like all guys do. So don't pretend you don't. Nobody believes you.

I was in the Central Shopping centre in Kathu, Phuket yesterday, it was full of clean cut farangs with wives and children as was the case today in the Jungcelon shopping centre in Patong, the same scene. 

 

This is why I hate Tourists.

 

I had hoped I had left The Magic Kingdom and Disney behind me when I left the USA, 50 years ago.

Now, these brainless mindless conspicuously-consuming nitwits are invading Asia.

 

Disgusts me.

 

Get rid of them, please.

 

I do not like anyone here who does not FIRST have a strong intrinsic reason for being here, such as love of culture, language, and social mores, not to mention frugality and lack of wastefulness, which leaves out most Americans and many more.

 

The modern western culture and cultural values is an ABOMINATION to me.

Your view of women is sad.

 

The things you are inventing about me in order to make yourself feel good is also sad.

 

"Nobody believes me"?

 

All the people I know in the same situation as me believe me.

 

It is interesting to see people like you exist out there as I never meet such types personally. 

 

Just because you have to buy women does not mean we all do, that would be also sad.

 

I have never said I am special etc, I am just saying there are lots of independent Thai women out there who can do things on their own, but you do not wish to believe that as they would avoid you like the plague. 

 

You carry on buying your women, I will carry on building a life with my partner.

All this  blah, blah, you bought your woman, like everyone else, and you're still paying for her right now.

 

Your bs stories how you're so special and never pay for your woman are just an alternate reality you live in that has nothing to do with real life.

 

You pay for your woman. Like everybody else. And she's not your partner either. The second someone better comes along, with more money who's actually interested in her she'll dump you. But of course at her age nobody's interested.

Well you are living in the wrong country then, ever since I came here in the 1980's shopping centres etc filled with 99% of Thais more luxurious than in the West have been present, that is still the case today even in Phuket, most shoppers are Thais, many of the Thais here are well off.

 

Not all Thais want to live in shacks in the middle of the beyond, they want a quality standard of life. A lot of farangs pretend they prefer that as that is all they can afford.

 

When it comes to getting rid of the forty million tourists who add to the Thai economy or the few hundred thousand farangs living on 2 dollars fifty cents a day, I think they will choose to get rid of the latter.

 

It is yet another example of self importance some long term visiting farangs have, get rid of the tourists, who do you think you are to dictate what Thais want to do with there own country.

 

Go somewhere else if you do not like it.

What a poor sad life you have with such views of women, don't forget your mother, sisters, nieces, etc are women too. 

 

There is nothing more to be said, your view is fixed, what a pity.

 

I fell sorry for you.

Where I live, there are no tourists.

People here do not live in shacks, and live in bigger houses than the average in the USA.

Houses that are more comfortable.

The shacks in the USA are designed to fall apart within years.

 

As someone has already mentioned, you strangely seem to live apart from reality, while having first arrived here in 1980, which seems very odd, indeed.

So don't come on here to lecture people about how you live in a freakin' mooban and you're so much better than all the other farang who live in Thailand because you have a car, lol.

I first visited in the 1987 and then visited for quite a few months a year after that, I have been living here for three years now with a visit back to the UK for a few months recently,  what is strange about that?

 

Do you have permanent residency or are you like me on a temporary year non-O visa by year extension which by no means shows I live here permanently or allowed to do so, the rules could change at any time.

 

I do agree with you about American houses as I saw during my 1.5 years of living and working there is two areas, Texas and New Jersey, they were made of chipboard with a felt type of roof, no wonder they fall over when the wind is up.

 

In Texas I saw a lot of houses which looked like garden sheds to me and they were not large.

Keep up the pretences and the things you make up about me as I think it is funny, you make me laugh, I never meet people like you in real life so it is a good experience to realise you do exist.

 

I could meet your type though quite easily by going into a girly bar and hiring one for the night, how much do they cost I wonder.

 

Right that is enough waste of time, it was a good skive for an hour or so, now time for me to get back to my 'work'.

 

Have a good life.

It is so funny what you make up about what I have said, cut and paste here what I have said about my car and house being bigger than yours, that is not possible though as it is all in your head.

 

It is time for me to go back to my 'work' now as I have had a good skive off 'work' by writing these noddy emails, have a good day. 

 

p.s. I can not have mentioned the size of my house in Thailand as I do not own a house in Thailand nor ever claimed to have owned one.

YOU are a newcomer.

 

You must return to the UK annually because you are not committed to living in Asia.

 

YOU, Sir, are a True TOURIST, if ever I heard of one.

 

Which might be OK for you, but not for some of us.

 

You are a newcomer, and live apart from us, here in Thailand, the ones who live in Shacks.

 

Begone.

Why not?

Yes, Thailand has a very clear set of social levels, most of the farangs will never see this as they only deal with the lower level in general as far as I have seen, but there are some exceptions.

 

I live on a gated private road estate with about 350 detached houses, 

 

I remember going to dinner with an Australian once and he introduced me to four of his friends , various Western nationalities, who all knew each other well.

 

They were talking about how much they give their Thai wives who were all from Issan, the car they had bought them, the house they had build on her land in the sticks in the middle of nowhere, the money they gave to the wife's family etc, they said, " you know the normal".

 

I said that is not normal, I said as far as I can see most of the Thais I had mixed with is where couples both work and contribute, I said I do not give an allowance to my Thai partner as she has her own income, property etc, and as far as sending money to the extended family I said I had never heard of it.

 

They thought I was lying, I just laughed to myself.

 

They also told me of how their wives like to party and booze, get drunk etc, "you know as most Thai women do" they said, I just laughed to myself as I was not going to waste my time with them.

 

I also laugh when the farangs talk big and then leave on a motorbike.

 

 

So you're flexing because you live in a mooban, lol, and because you have a car but your disgusting social inferiors only have a motorbike.

 

My my, aren't you the Lord of Thailand.

 

Lol.

Ps. can you send me a copy of your Thai Id card and Thai passport so I know you really are a permanent resident and not just a long term visitor.

But this whole "Oh I never pay for my woman" never fails to irritate me as well, because then you know you're dealing with an out and out liar. All men pay, one way or another, just a question of amount and amortisation period.

The discussion by many on here and in the reactions is about balance but the documentary was about what it was titled, 'the Dark Side". If they wanted it to be balanced it would have a different title and included both sides, pro and con. Its called a documentary for a reason.
