No i don't show any of the markers, you do though, look it up. You've certainly got some mental illness to post so often when all you get is thumbs down

    I’m more curious where you live that’s so flawless. A utopia, is it? No drunks, no dodgy headlines, no locals behaving badly… just everyone sipping herbal tea and filing their taxes early?

    Why do you have such a compulsion to post dispiriting content on this forum. That’s the question you should be asking.

But you said narcs never admit it then you abused me lol. You are a narc for sure. Old men giving thumbs down to strangers are most definately mentally ill. That is a strange life.

Pkk has 3 gyms. One at Ao Manao 60 baht, one in town 50 baht and one northern part never been. The Ao Manao one is good but 4pm to 8pm only. The one in town is 10am to 10pm.

You love a cheap gym. Keep in mind they may be cheap for a reason. Not sure why presumably a guy on his own - or even with a girlfriend - you'd want to go to quiet out of the way places - unless they have amazing beaches or you are settling in long term. Pattaya and surrounds offers quiet if you want it - with lots of stuff and all the 7 11's you could want near by.

But the first isn't an assumption. The second I've never said, besides towards you and one other, which is blatantly obvious. And I don't assume, preferring to go by the facts. If you're going to start your usual one liner drivel, which also shows a lot, try it with another, as you're trolling here.

Do let us know how you have determined that you have treated your women better than anyone here? Surely even you understand that you have no way to know that. Yet you insist on it as if it is the truth. A fait accompli.

What you think you know, is that you treated them to the best of your ability. Your ego doesn't allow you to accept that anyone else could possibly have done any better.

In reality, nearly one hundred, according to yourself, have come and gone. The only one who is connected by a thread, is yet another one to whom you pay a salary(the aforementioned thread). Even that one, again from the horse's mouth, has no intention of moving to the USA with you, if you ever move at all. So not much of a bond at all.

Did you ever have a grasp on reality or is it merely slipping with age? I have a feeling that it was always thus.

What is obvious, is that many here give you a free pass, as it's clear that you really believe the utter nonsense you spout here on an almost daily basis. But they know... They are just being 'nice' about it. It seems it's just you in denial.

There is no chance of your reining it in, however hard you try. Old habits die hard.

Those places are not out of the way. Great beaches, nice locals, no trashy people. Some Thai gyms are 300 to 500 baht. Not worth it.

I'm easy, as I only need ...

good Makro

good bake supply shop

couple restaurants and coffee shops

beautiful bay, or 3

nice rolling hills, called mountains in TH

small park, and maybe a few lakes

no neighbors within 100 meters

no loud speakers

no traffic light I have to sit through twice

no nightlife to attract the dregs of society

Edited by KhunLA

Pranburi - excellent large 100 baht gym. Nice beaches. Nice area. Quiet. Close to Hua Hin.

Hua Hin - nice gyms, malls and beaches but concrete jungle.

Ban Krut - lovely town. Great beaches for miles. One gym. Excellent food on the beach. Lacks a mall and pharmacies.

Bang Saphan - broken up into 4 sections if you count Bo Thang and Suan Luang. It has more shops and stuff. You have a city area plus 3 beach areas. The beaches are great.

HH has some trashy people but the others don't.

If PKK had a Market Village it would be ideal but that would attract more farangs. More farangs equals more trash so there is a trade off!

Bang Saphan Yai has 2 gyms that look big but not been. I will go next time. Bang Saphan Noi only has a muay thai gym with little weights. Chumphon has several good looking gyms and a 10 baht rust gym under a roof.

No actual experience of being there. Simply googled from your domicile in Australia. Dream on.....

Just now, fredwiggy said:

from what you've both said, one cheating on his girlfriend taking out others and making them pay for the meals

Your inability to comprehend what was written, only serves to illustrate your severely limited intelligence.

"Making them pay for meals"? Are you jealous, @fredwiggy? 🤭

How does one make a woman pay for a meal? Would any of your daughters do so unwillingly? Of course not. They would only do so if they wanted to do so. Obviously not something that has ever occurred to you.

Rather than to accept it as a positive demonstration of love, you demonstrate envy in the form of suggesting that the women are being treated badly by being forced to pay.

Has a woman, other than perhaps your children, ever insisted on paying for you? Even once? I don't mean just offering, but actually doing so, time and time again?

Face it @fredwiggy It would not be possible to force any woman to do so. According to your 'good' self, you've had a fair amount of experience with women, so you would know.

Don't be so envious @fredwiggy I cannot imagine that anyone here is jealous of you.

Of what do you imagine that anyone here could be envious? It's just mind boggling, your delusions.

Seen the pictures. Totally get why you stay where you do - looks like a really nice lifestyle with natural surroundings. Don't see some as the type to be ready to make that longer term commitment - requiring likely a long term partner who is on the same page.

Gym prices reflect rent prices, cost of equipment and local incomes. Rents in Prachuap are cheap and incomes lower than Bangkok so prices are cheaper. A small gym will be 50 or 60 baht and a large one 100 baht.

Depends if you are looking for somewhere to live or a short term option. I imagine most gyms have reasonable prices if can stay 6 months or a year.

Man, he sure dropped his pathetic I’m in Pattaya gambit in a hurry.

Now he’s down to giving Fred life advice.

But Fred actually has a very functional life.

He loves and is successful in his rural life.

He has ongoing satisfying romantic relationships And is active in his children’s lives.

You are too kind... why? That's not like you 😊

Why do you like Pattaya so much? What do you do there? Do you have daily or weekly habits?

Just now, Rockyroad said:

I don't really like central Pattaya - bit too chaotic for me but good to go from time to time. Up till now I have one or two month stays that I look at as getting used to retired life so I don't feel I have to do anything in particular. Nice to have good gym, pools, food, massage, have a bit of fun and stay somewhere where it's not noisy. Can add on a trip to Koh Chang, Phuket, or wherever and then I might be more active and touristy.

Definitely don't need or want a large mall. Have a crappy Lotus's we don't even need, though nice having a Swensen's & Pizza Co. The latter being new, only few yrs old.

Have a Global & HomePro for most home needs, and online fills in the gaps. Only one EV dealer (MG), with all other car dealers way out of town, on hwy 4.

Actually surprised we have as much as we do, as town only has ~26k people. Makro supplying food for the weekender restaurants, and that's only been here for 10 yrs. We didn't think to build on our land (bought 2014/15), until it was here. Makro was our 'go to' at Udon also. Global arrived after Makro. Most chains here quite new.

Malls have aircon and foodcourts. Walk around during hot season.

Not really a place for a single person, especially if a wee bit introvert. Most farangs I see at Makro seem to be in relationships, about the same as myself, 60s & 70s, with partner in 40s & 50s+.

and they are jammed pack with the Thai's who dont have air conditioning. You will find very few expats hanging out in Malls. Tourists like rocky yes.

The towns of Pkk, Ban Krut, Bang Saphan, Pranburi are the nicest small towns in Thailand IMO. All linked by short train rides. You should go check them out. There are cheaper than Koh Chang but beaches just as good. The smaller towns are serviced by the 3 digit trains while the 2 digit express trains just do the main spots. Click on Thonburi train station on google maps and you can see the time tables.

Is jealous because you treat your women better??? I am not the one who lost two mothers of my children? Why would I be jealous? I am keeping it together, and it´s same good as it was 16 years ago. I have a very happy life, together with a very good woman and fantastic children. You know what I have problem with? I have problem with people who can´t keep it together, spout that out on a forum, and after putting themselves on a pedestal trying to be Mr. Knowitall and telling other people they are wrong in everything. Like you, Freddy!

On the side of that, you couldn´t call a roll of toilet paper out, as you are just repeating the same old, same old. You put you life up for discussion, and when others post about it, they shouldn´t as they were not there. Incredibly stupid conclusion! That´s definitely not normal!

Lastly, Freddy! You don´t know what ignore is, so you will be totally unable to do such thing.

Just now, Gottfrid said:

Maybe try boning up on your English skills, as you keep missing the point. Why would you have a problem with anyone talking about their lives in an online forum? Wouldn't that be getting involved where you haven't any business? If you're so happy in your life, why bother talking to anyone here about their lives if all you get is a fraction of it and you can't understand it's been the truth all along? I've never put myself on a pedestal so that's another one of your mistakes. Never said I was a know it all in my life either.

I call out those that act like you, assume they know what went on or turned what went on around in another's life. That's actually you repeating the same old nonsense, as again, you weren't there so know nothing besides what I've said.

I never said anyone couldn't reply about my life. Of course others can relate to, and discuss things that are written here, especially if they also went through some of the same things.

Every thing I've ever said about me is the truth. That some turn it around is on THEM, and not me. Any opinions anyone makes about me are meaningless, especially if they contradict what I've said.

What you keep saying IS an incredibly stupid conclusion, as again, you were not there. Only an abnormal thinking person reads one thing and makes it into another, either from that jealousy or an absence of restraint, which usually comes from never being taught respect for others. Now again, seeing you have a hard time understanding the written word, troll another.

If you're so happy in your life, spend time with your family instead of wasting time being wrong here.

Remember, I could also do exactly like you do. take that "very happy life with a good woman and fantastic children" and do what you do. Maybe you're a wife beater, unable to defend himself against a man so take it out on his wife and possibly kids, leave them home while you're out with ladyboys, visiting 100 Thai cities and not supporting that family. See, I can assume like you and those other two do. No one here knows you, so all you say could be lies.

Not enough people here to support a real mall, and love a good food court, especially when AC restaurants are silly priced, like HH or BKK. A few vendors here are reasonably priced, other cater to weekend crowd and not the best value.

We do seem to be upping our dining choice when at BKK visiting daughter, as can't remember last time we hit a food court when there.

We really do dine in 95% of the time at home, and guess that falls in with one of our hobbies. Fills in quite a bit of our time also. Wouldn't be happy living here if we had to rely on restaurants, as not enough variety. Fine if all you want is a burger & pizza, or same 5-10 repetitive Thai dishes.

Not even close to Koh Chang. Kae Bei is turning into one happening spot on Chang and is nice as heck was there in January. White Sands and Klong Prao are both much nicer beaches. At night there are open air barbecues on the beach with fire shows.

There is a good reason why Chang and Kood are getting so popular with both Thai and foreign travelers.

Perhaps on Google they look as nice, but sadly that is not so. I am not saying they are not nice, but dont compare to the islands IMHO.

Disagree, as Hua Hin's Blueport & Market Village are quite busy with farang, and most seem to be expats. Another major advantage to malls, for expats, is easy parking, and a big plus for us. Same with Krung Thep malls. Thais & expats taking advantage, as parking is a must for us, and most other self drivers.
