Thank you your rapid response to post of mine when I am supposed to be on ignore according to you! yet another of your constant lies!

Just a few points;

The person who has "this forum is their life" is YOU, NOT me! Look at your daily post count!

You have made no comment either about when have you ever posted a real photo nor have you made any rebuttal re my comments on your obviously fictitious CM-South of Thailand trip as @Harrisfan !

What are you hobbies in Thailand? Name a couple.

    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.

  1. Asking you to answer a question

  2. Asking you why you have not answered that question!!

Nightlife.

Restaurants.

Cuties at 7/11.

I'm not fussed by what people think of Pattaya, many people from foreign countries wouldn't even know where Pattaya was.

5 foot 6. No friends in Thailand. Obsessed with a stranger online. How creepy.

What does someone's height matter? I am 5'9 by the way. Head on over to Hummin's travel thread and have a look at where I am now.

You are like a joke toy I enjoy playing with. You take it all so serious, as I sit here on Chaweng enjoying life. Sitting right here typing to you dude.

If everyone loved it the roads would be impossible so it is a good thing they don't. People love it or hate it normally same with Phuket.

You keep describing yourself perfectly without ever answering a single question!

The question should be, doesn't it get old yourself saying the same things to various people here daily? I've tried to give you advice but of course you won't take it. You don't know what anyone here does besides what they say, which is but a fraction of their lives daily.

Why is it so important asking what others do in their lives, and trying to compare it to yours? Do you not realize this is an adult forum, mostly retired expats, who have a lifetime of things already done?

Why does how many cities one has been to mean so much?

Realize another thing. Most people here are likely fathers, and a few mothers. This means they have spent decades raising children, which is more important than their traveling.

When you have children, you don't have much time to travel, and if you do, it's usually on vacations with them, especially when they're toddlers to young teens.

Most people who can travel haven't had children, don't take care of those they did, or they're already out of the house. Some of us had children later in life, so still have that responsibility.

The fact remains, if you had hobbies before you had children, or moved to Thailand, you likely still do them, with some exceptions like myself, who can't hunt until we move back to the US. There are quite a few different hobbies one can enjoy anywhere also.

I'm sure all the expats that live here, including those you think don't have a life, do have a life, with wives, girlfriends, children and hobbies outside of typing here on AN, which can be done from anywhere there's an internet connection.

And what does being short have to do with anything? Men under 5'6" aren't lesser than those taller. Height means nothing except in basketball. And how do you know so much about people you have never met, IS the main question.

I'm expecting the same reply. You live in the middle of nowhere , with no 7-11's, have never been to anywhere, are lonely, bored, and sit on AN 24 hours a day, even after I myself mentioned all that I do in just one day's time.

You keep acting like a 5yo. Not one question answered. No wonder you have no friends or hobbies. At least Marin likes you, a stranger online. In the real world you are just unfit and lacking hobbies. Only you can change your life but you never will.

You are miserable in Thailand. No research, no idea where to go or what to do. AN is your life too.

Answer one question at a time, for once. You have no idea how I feel, what I research, seeing I already have knowledge on many things, and don't need to go immediately to AI for a rebuttal. AN is a part time thing for everyone, and looking at your posting content, you're here more than anyone.

He's been asking you questions, like many others, that you never answer. How do you know he's unfit? Has no friends or hobbies? Do you have a camera that follows him around?

Time you read posts rather than just copy and paste before posting your usual tripe.

I answered your last question re hobbies!

You have not answered a single question of mine either today, this month or if I remember correctly - ever!!

How many times have you said you wanted to leave? 1000? Lol

Nope I discuss the topics. You guys are just trolls. You hate Thailand and he's got nowhere else to go.

What does my leaving have to do with anything,or you?

I have never trolled anyone, as it's not my nature. Your reputation here, along with that massive score, shows all the symptoms. I don't hate Thailand, so why keep saying that? I just prefer the US, and it's a better place for my daughter also, so it's where we'll be going. How do you know he has nowhere to go if you never met him?

Good, go back there. No need to post on a Thai forum when you hate the country and it's people. You're a negative guy and won't change. Take the others with you. Thais hate negative people.

I know far more about Thailand. I knew this 20 years ago. Your posts are amusing but say a lot about you. I wish you well.

Nope; You never discuss topics or involve with posters in a Q&A session.

All you do is either make a statement which is normally either false or AI generated or you just insult people with irrational/unfounded comments!

What does it matter to you what I or anyone else here does? If you would look back at my prior reply, you would see that I said I don't hate Thailand. I'm actually a very positive man with responsibilities I've always taken care of, along with plenty of hobbies. Thai's are negative people many times, just like all other cultures.

You don't know what I or anyone else knows about anything. I knew myself about Thailand decades ago, and it was proven right when I moved here.

You're right, nothing on AN matters. It is just old guys gossiping. Mostly lefties that hate their home country and choose Thailand due to hookers and low condo prices.

So you were an expert before but still got married and divorced and lived in a shack in Isaan. Thailand is about mountains and beaches.

It's also men who have visited and found a wife and stayed, or left. I don't think most hate their own countries but like it here as they have a wife and it's cheaper to live. I never put lefties into anything because politics is a personal choice'

Where have you been? Endless negative remarks about the US and UK. Bad weather, bad women, cost of living.

Expert on what? Everyone makes mistakes picking partners unless you're lucky enough to marry your childhood sweetheart. I don't live in a shack but a nice house which I will get money for before we leave. Thailand is a varied place that looks much the same besides those mountains and beaches.

Mountains are scenery everywhere, and are nice to look at or hunt in, but not here, but it isn't a good place to wander with all the snakes and mines in some locations. It isn't near like what other countries like the US offers, where you can meander through mountains in every state, only being aware where there are bears. Beaches are nice all over, Thailand having some pretty ones, but they're slowly being destroyed by tourism and over fishing.
