    Ultra ego takes over. I'm better than you. My understanding of politics is grade A. It really is interesting how humans transform.

    Fair point. Endless Trump topics.

I wonder what the top 10 lefties are really like in real life.

Hopefully everyone whether "leftie" or "rightie" and all others are nothing like you!

Met any lefties from here?

Haven't met any new foreigners, since joining (2nd time / username). A few folks on here I have met, from Udon Thani, via local forum, way before joining AN.

Don't talk politics or religion when meeting, talking to people, especially stranger, and why would I, as not a fan of either.

The site was great back in the day.

The left's obsession with Trump ruined it.

I'm a good happy person. If they are nothing like me they would be sad and miserable like you. You present as a hermit type. Unfit and doesnt like to travel.

I have to disagree and say that people like you and all the MAGAlamaniacs have done that trying to defend the indefensible!

The leaderboard is dominated by lefties. I bet they are all hermits.

If I do not like to travel how did I get here, unlike you still hiding in your Australian basement?

You sit in one spot doing nothing. Only a hermit would play the basement card. You can't even name your top 10 Thai cities. You're a hermit who rarely does anything. It is so obvious and sad. You moved from Scotland to spew Trump hate on a Thai forum. After 11 years you should have been to 12 islands and a 100 cities but you just sit around doing nothing.

Paddy Doyle sees more of Thailand in 3 months then many 10 year retirees. Pretty funny really.

Go watch his videos then go exploring.

...really weird.

Can you tell me the point of going from island to island?

How about your top ten countries and why?

It's very strange, your fixation on travelling around Thailand. I guess most people who travelled, did the bulk of their travelling before settling down. Why this strange obsession with the number of islands and cities in one country?

Each island is different. Southern cities are different from the north. Whats the point of renting a condo and drinking Chang beer and discussing politics daily?

Thailand has roads ranked on the top 10 by motorbikers. Around Nan is really nice. Why bother though? Just discuss Trump from the same spot hey? What a stunning retirement.

Side trips to Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia versus political talk? You only live once. How exciting can those Pattaya bar stools be?

Yeah...each island is different...most enlightening. Tell me more, in detail.

You come over as someone who spends A LOT of time on YouTube.

It really does seem as if you are sitting in a basement somewhere. Let's see some of your personal collection of photos and video.

To hear other ex pat views, most of which I find either comical or insulting.

Let's look at the assumptions to scottiejohn there.

He sits in one spot doing nothing? Do you live next door to him and see him daily? That also goes for seeing him as a hermit, as you have no idea. You do this constantly to everyone including me, so get off it as it's gotten old.

Why does naming his top 10 Thai cities mean anything? People can travel IF they want to here. It's cheap, and the country isn't very large. And the main things, is that most Thai cities are much the same, as are most villages. the only things that are different here are the beaches and mountains. Much of the mountains you cannot safely walk in because of mines, snakes or other animals, so that leaves looking at them as scenery, which is okay but not like other mountainous regions where you can backpack through. I can name ten Thai cities, major, that I've visited but that is only again a personal thing and not something to brag about.

I don't think scottiejohn moved to Thailand to talk crap about Trump. That's done all over the world by all nationalities and you don't need to move to do it.

Again, he "shouldn't" have visited 12 islands or 100 cities as that's again a personal thing and no one else's business. try thinking about that awhile.

So let's see stuff from your archive. Start a fresh thread. I'm sure there'll be a lot of interest in your personal experience of visiting every province.

You obviously are a hermit. If you went to 10 different ones you would know. Samet nice beaches and food little to do but relax. Chang has nice boat trips and inland hiking. Kood stunning beaches. Samui nightlife, excellent muay thai and beaches. Phuket great food and great boat trips. Phi Phi stunning but too many tourists. Lanta muslim food, nice beaches. I went in 05, 10 and 22. Trang islands stunning with snorkelling. Emerald cave. Koh pha ngan great motorbiking and stunning beaches. Hippy hang out.

You really don't know much after 11 years lol

Again? Have you asked me this before? Link me to the first time and I'll answer you there.

Are you a personal friend of @Harrisfan ? Just wondering why you would reply to a message meant for them.
