It is English. Just understated and not simplified for the less well travelled.

Well possiblity for many others who are perhaps ...not well travelled 

 

That's what he posted.

 

Ok I'll try google translate.

84 year olds preparing to meet friends for dinner? You see plenty of these do you? Drinking heavily in the afternoons during your extensive stakeout of the Jomtien Complex every day.

 

Thanks for clearing that one up Sherlock.  

You'd be surprised what I see in my stakeouts. 😂

 

Lots of elderly foreigners, plenty in their 80's

Go to the top of the class, but don't take your books, you won't be there long.

 

It still doesn't explain the nonsense that he wrote.

No a primer is the preparation coat. The first real coat is paint proper.

On old motorbikes, particularly with Amal carburettors, the primer often referred to the button that was depressed to cause the float to move downwards in the float bowl, overfilling the carburettor thus flooding the carburettor throat with petrol. Often used in a cold start situation to enrich the air/fuel ratio.

Anything else you need help with?

Absolutely nailed it! That is exactly what we mean. Had many a conversation along those lines when working in the City for 30 years.

 

Tag on the bottom when speaking to the other half:-

 

" You look absolutely lovely tonight" 

"Are you really going out in that - I'm going to have to wear a bag on my head so nobody knows it's me"

"I knew he thinks I'm stunning - tonight might be the night he proposes".

By your own admission you do post like you are a pillow biter.

 

Follow men into public toilets - Check.

Chat up half naked muslim men at the pool - Check.

 

Ive not got the time to list all your posts involving men but the two above suggest a trend.

I was a little shocked and upset  to hear of Pattaya socialite Barry Kenyon being killed by a alleged farang on a motorbike whilst waiting on a pedestrian island to cross a road in Jomtien 

 

I must say I noticed last time in Pattaya   a "free for all " from young farangs going berserk on motorbikes particularly in Jomtien where they would go bat out of hell with no helmets on 

 

No police around,no one cares it ends up in deaths , innocent people 

And I have no idea if it's the same type of policing in other parts of tourist areas eg Phuket 

 

But I can assure you more people will lose their lives as SELFISH tourist farangs think their is no law 

 

I was going to say ok I agree let's not make it like Australia,but Australia is just as bad where they allow people to ride fast push bikes on pedestrian footpaths !!!!!

 

The police particularly the tourist police need to clamp down,it appears they have lowered their obligations 

More deaths caused by farangs this high season no doubt as the young ones affected by alcohol will speed madly 

And it's m farangs from EVERY country doing this ...

Watch as they speed in Jomtien,loud motorbikes ,"look at me ,look at me !!!

 

Life is cheap in SE Asia.

I guess all the haters, Thai bashers didn't actually read any details of the accident.   People that don't use the crosswalk, really should take more care, and stay the hell out of the way of on coming traffic ...

Even at designated crosswalks they will try to run you over.

I cross over twice a day .It's a mess with  motorbike's on the pavement and jumping the lights to get to Threppasit .

 

 

I hit that stretch like I stole my bike and the cops are after me. Take the hole shot from the light near Kiss restaurant and twist the throttle like George twisting his twink's pecker.  With good timing it's a wave of green lights all the way to the turn onto Third Road. 

 

George, instead of being a bystander and a hand wringer you've got to get a bike and get into the game.  What are you going to do, take buses all over the country and only see the areas around the bus terminals?  You could dress up like Brando and cruise boystown on a hog.  

 

It's tragic that the geezer got killed.  It certainly wasn't his fault: he was standing where one must crossing that section of road. I see it every day; usually it's people with suitcases going to/from the bus station.

He admitted that he's gay. I respect the fact that he keeps it on the low and asks about places for single men; only to get 3 pages of replies from breeders trying to lead him to poontang.  The rainbow gang needs a pied piper to lead them back into the closet.

No thanks!

I think we all know Luang Prabang is in Laos.

You seem to mention it in every post.

I have no idea why.

Perhaps looking for some falang company there!

There will always be jerks who hire cars or bikes to show off and mainly show off their stupidity. But lot could also be said against some crooked rental shops who just don't care as long as the client pays...

next time you wish to educate me check your facts and compare the nomber of motor bike riders who die on the road in Australia,UK,France Germany Spain Ireland or any other european countrys.

I read that he was standing on the central reservation(?)

Not strictly accurate! A farang (from the perspective of Thais) is a white person - country of origin is irrelevant!

Not only tourists, but also some expats think as well. In fact they have moved to Thailand base on that idea.

Not much difference between an expat and a tourist.

Only the length of their permission to stay.
