I would also challenge the OP to explain how someone who has literally posted on this forum on average every 15 minutes of every waking hour over the past year could possibly have had sufficient time to interact with Thais to generate any insights whatsoever about Thai culture.

I speak Thai. Have done so for 20 years. 12 mths lol

Another attempt at trolling by the OP, but this time more thinly veiled than normal. If you're wanting to rile people up, try not to be so transparent about it.

Just facts. 80% of Thais friendly. 10% farangs friendly.

Good job! Your text is 100% written by AI, and in this instance Chat GPT.

thanks for the clarification, it sounded to good to be true, based on his previous posts he doesn't have the brains to write something like that

Please show me a single example of an insight into Thai culture you have provided. I can't think of one.

I have been to about 200 temples. I have trained in muay thai. I have spent loads of time in Thai towns devoid of tourists. I speak Thai daily to Thais. Have dated Thais for 2 decades.

What about you champ?

That's called a non-responsive answer. I asked you to cite a single example of an insight into Thai culture you have shared on this forum, not recount past travel itineraries and dating history. I highly doubt your Thai is much beyond the transactional and small talk stage. Trained in muay thai? Maybe I've got you mixed up with another troll on this forum, but aren't you Mr. Fat Fingers?

Go experience it for yourself instead of whingeing. I have.

Insight: noun

1 : the ability to understand people and situations in a very clear way : the ability to discern deeply and acutely

2: the act or result of apprehending the inner nature of things or of seeing intuitively

🤣I can probably go 10 threads back on him, and all is going to show same. I just don´t know why Asean Now allows people to open a thread with 100% AI. No engagement, no real thoughts, nothing the poster contributed with. Just a bunch of crap as usual.

I agree with AI. No need to rewrite it.

It is increasingly obvious that the original post had no purpose beyond attempting to trigger and bait reactions. There was no attempt to start an engaging discussion, no question posed, no invitation for differing views, nothing that would normally justify a post in a discussion forum. The entire value lay in provoking irritation while hiding behind the fact that the content itself is technically inoffensive.

That is the trick being played. Say something bland enough to avoid breaking forum rules and attracting moderation, then sit back and enjoy the predictable push-back from people who are tired of seeing the same shallow, copy pasted AI fluff from this same poster clogging up the forum. It is trolling by omission rather than provocation.

What makes it worse is the complete absence of cultural insight. Nothing drawn from lived experience. Nothing that reflects complexity, contradiction, or reality. It is a transparent spam job, the kind of text written for search engines, not for a community of people who have been around the shop for eons.

At some point it would be useful for the minders to look past the surface neutrality of these posts and recognize the repeating pattern. When someone contributes nothing, asks nothing, and repeatedly posts generic filler, the intent becomes obvious even if the wording stays safely within the terms of service.

You response is downright strange. If you think Thais are unfriendly why go to Thailand? Your entire post is downright nasty and just proves my point.

If you think Malays or others are more friendly go there instead. I'm not your dad champ. Now grow up and run along boy.

You have just demonstrated the issue perfectly. At no point did I say Thais are unfriendly. The criticism was about topic relevance, depth, and purpose, not sentiment. Reframing criticism of a generic, copy pasted post as an attack on Thailand, Thai people, or comparisons with other nationalities is a deflection. It avoids engaging with the actual points raised and replaces them with positions I never expressed. No one questioned friendliness. No one compared countries. No one asked for approval or advice. If your original post was genuinely intended to spark discussion, you are still free to explain how. What question were you asking? What perspective were you offering? What insight were you trying to explore? Your continued refusal to address the substance of the criticism while leaning into immature personal remarks only reinforces the point being made.

We at Uni now? You either agree or disagree. I really don't care. If you want a 100 page discussion on it well good luck.

You are just trying to pick a 3 hour argument. A tryhard tactic from 2005. Im too old to bother. Bye bye petal.

Lol, you nailed it. A textbook case of Forum Compulsion Disorder. Thousands of frantic posts, none of them with any salience and all entirely forgettable. It looks like an incurable psychological condition at this point.
