Sharing tables

Restaurants sit you most of the time, both here and back home. Again, small street shops you sit yourself. I've shared tables with many Thais here, in many cities and villages.

Is a street shop a noodle shop?

    Outrageous. You grab a four seat table at nine in the morning, sit there alone with a coffee, and that is basically your property now for as long as you want it. No one else allowed within two meters

In a previous post you claimed noodle shops were not restaurants.

No I said some restaurants sit you down, while others you pick your own table. They're all restaurants, including the noodle shops and other Thai places.

Guess you don't live here.

You mean besides the hundred thousand who live here, including thousands of foreigners plus the thousands of foreigners who visit yearly? I wonder why they have at least 50 foreign run restaurants and bars here, seeing it's mostly for foreigners.

2,000 farangs live in Sisaket? Got proof?

They only seat the dumb people. Thais just walk in sit down.

There's 200 that live just around Kantharalak. Not to mention all the others who live in Sisaet itself, Khun Han, Khuk Han. Si Rattana,Phrai Bueng, Kanthararom, Prang Ku, Benchalak, Bueng Bun, Phayu, Rasa Salai, Phu Sing, Wang Hinand all the rest of towns and villages., My school owner friend has hired at least 40 in the last 8 years. Just the teachers that live close to his school. There are 15 that live near the border of Cambodia that I know about.

Not a very intelligent statement, as many foreigners live here because of the quiet and having wives and children, Again being a drifter, you wouldn't understand this.

No intelligent person would move there. Thais don't even like the place.

Please don't join the other ones who live by assuming. It doesn't help with your reputation.

Maybe he's a lot smarter than you. No Thai person has Sisaket on their bucket list. Only guys who get tricked into marriage move there.

Every statement you post here is either an assumption, exaggeration or outright lie, yet you seem to think other's aren't aware of this. You constantly answer for other's but likely don't have one friend here and of course no family member. People live here for many reasons, one being they were born here, as were their ancestors. It's just another one of the 76 provinces here, most of which are farming community types, and much the same, besides the beach areas.

Foreigners, besides tourists, go where their women are from, unless they're now bar girls or work in major cities. The majority do live in the country areas, in and around the province cities.

I actually talk to people who've lived here all their lives, who speak excellent English, many school owners and English teachers, and ask them about their lives. I don't take buses to various towns , eat, then leave and stay in the closest hotel.

So Sisaket is a popular destination? You really are crazy. Goodbye.

Sisaket is on many bucket lists, as it has attractions. Foreigner and local, as they have many temples here,including large ones like the one in Bueng Kan, visited by thousands every year.Try visiting here before you comment. Men aren't tricked into marriage. it's a choice they make, preferring to have a wife instead of a hooker or just to use women by lying to them.

Sounds amazing. According to AI it does not rank in the top 50. According to you it's hugely popular!

Most farangs in Thailand are old. Some are smart, many are dumb.

If guys are desperate they will do that. No reason to live in some boring rural town unless you love that lifestyle.

If you love it enjoy. Live happy ever after.

AI doesn't take into account the actual people who visit there. It has attractions people visit by the thousands, which does make it popular.

70m Thais. 3,000 visitors is low. I see you failed Math.

People who pick younger women as wives, which is what Thailand's all about, aren't desperate but just want a younger wife. They choose the country as they can build on the relative's land, and many prefer country life to the rat race of the city. I like to live close to a large town, just like millions worldwide.

Thousands of visitors is what I said. Just one temple. The Mekong River and Laos is also here. I actually passed math. I don't need AI for my answers as I've already learned before the internet came around.

The beer bottle temple is listed no1 on Tripadvisor. It looks kind of pathetic.

How would you know how many are dumb if you've likely only met 5 and actually spent time with them? The ones I know here are very intelligent, successful business owners in the past or on pensions or Social Security from a high position.

Most people would be driving onto Ubon which has more attractions.

I'm in Bangkok. You sound like you have never been anywhere. Sisaket 5555 The top attraction is a beer bottle temple.

Try making ONE reply without it being an assumption. Visit rural Thailand, then comment. Thailand has a lot of attractions, although most are much the same in the country areas. It's a farming country, most of it being country, and there is only so many things to see that are different.

Only dumb people move to backwaters then claim it's amazing. Beer Bottle temple. You really do have no idea about Thailand or Asia.
