A New Phuket Support Group:wa

[Ping]

Well thought I might post a few pics on this thread, as half of the comments here have totally nothing to do with the Co's post.

Yes, you're quite right Hover - we've wandered well off topic (but it seems to have run its course).

Too bad. I'm a little disappointed.

When I originally posted I had visions of the Phuket Expat mob, with torches, (a la the original Frankenstein movie where all the villagers are coming after Frankenstein) chanting:

"KILL HUGGYBEAR", "HUGGYBEAR THE HERETIC", "HUGGYBEAR IMPREGNATED MY MAID!" ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!

But oh well, not a lot of reactionaries. Maybe that's a good thing.

Lets get back to something really exciting like letting the one guy know where he can buy a monitor............

Oh well, you can always try another troll - you're sure to get a reaction if you try long enough.

There is so much garbage, written in here by people, who do NOT use punctuation.

Mainly just laziness, if English is first language.

As that graphic shows, makes sense to use punctuation.

[viciouskitty74]

I always believe, its not just the food.

The company counts to.

And eating chinese/thai food. Its always better to have more people along. Helps because a lot more people, means a lot more people to help finish whatever varieties you order.

Sooooo......when can we join pete for dim sum breakfast? Or pete does not wake up as early?

Starting soon in Phuket will be a new support group, WA.

What WA stands for is wanke_r's Anonymous and it is for all of the expats here on the island with LT disease. That is an affliction from being here "longterm".

The wanking afflictions that will be discussed;

Bothering all of those around with constant complaining about day to day living in Thailand such as:

-Being overcharged because you are a foreigner

(sub-topic:bargirls overcharging because now you are old and smelly)

-too much ponchuluk in your food

-driving in Phuket

(sub-topic:our love for tuk-tuk drivers)

-all other foreigners around you being "complete idiots"

(sub-topic:psychological affliction of being the smartest person on the planet)

-Thais who are stupid

-Thais that don't understand what you are saying

-Thai women that are only after your money

-The Thai government

If you would like to attend, please dial 076-285-WANK, the first meeting will be held at The Beaver Bar (nobody can complain about that).

I will not attend as I do not suffer from LT disease and I keep my wanking to a minimum as I enjoy it here

Haha.. wicked post.. made me laugh out loud! I've been coming to Thailand a few years now and spent last year in Phuket. From my experiences there are a whole lot of people that should join your support group!

Well Well Well .....

But you have to admit that the CO has a good point.

I have always tried to look at things on the brighter side. Only been living in Thailand for a few years now and have learned a lot about the local expats habits. You would think that meeting someone from your own country you would have a lot in common regarding something to talk about without being misunderstood every sentence. Infarct most of the expats on this island despise other expats and striking up a friendship with one is very uncommon . Maybe I am wrong in some cases but on the whole it is a fact. I have been coming to Thailand for the last 15 years and know what I am talking about .

Most "not all" expats moan about everything and compare a lot of thing to there own country only when they don't like it, and never praise the things they like.Thailand is a beautiful country with some of the best people in the world, you already now this right, as you would not live here. But it seems to me that this forum is a sort of a fighting ground for expats to have ago at each other. Someone posts a light hearted thread to give readers bit of a laugh and gets slaged off for it. Simple message to the people doing the slagging to the CO' is meet face to face and then say what you think about there thread. No I do not think so. Same old story, if you have nothing nice to say keep your mouth shut. If you want to say bad things to people don't hide behind a computer to say it.

This message is not aimed at anyone in particular. And I what I write in this forum I would tell it to you face.

Nice Post HuggyBear its time for people to "WAKE UP"

This also is very true (in my opinion) - I arrived in Phuket last year in positive spirits, looking to make some new friends on the island. After getting ripped and pissed off by people from my own bloody country and others in the EU, I learn't the hard way that a lot of the ex pats living in Phuket are not particularly decent people. Of course there are decent friends to be made, it's just a little tricky meeting them it seems. I'm returning to Phuket at the end of January for another year, as gripes aside I think it's still a great place to be. This year I'll be pursuing other interests including business, so hopefully I'll meet some more good people along the way.

Take it easy all, try chilling out and liking people.. look for the good.

Cheers!

never had thai massage, went for one at a expensive spa like place opposite the ocean plaza at phuket town.

[viciouskitty74]

I have request to return to Singapore (recalled back to duty), so I should be leaving Phuket again and most likely wont be back till end of the year....hopefully when I am retired successfully.

Girlfriend is asking me to bring home 2-3 water squirt guns for her and kids.

Any idea where I can find the most cc water squirt guns?

I sort of get creeped out by massages, but when I feel like one, I go to the place near Bangla and Beach Rd (On the Beach Rd past the police box) where they have the big glass windows so you can see in and they have 20 or so massage chairs along with the private cubicles. Very clean and they are as professional as can be. I like the fact that they wash their hands between clients. I usually ask for the heavier set girls or the big gal that I think is actually a guy, but I'm not about to ask since he/she looks like he/she could rip me apart. They're so appreciative that someone asks for them they make an extra effort.

Who knows where I can do some salsa dancing?

[huggybear]

Who knows where I can do some salsa dancing?

Two contacts for you VK.

Anna at Atsumi Healing in Rawai (sorry I do not have exact contact info). I think she used to give salsa lessons.

Jorge De la Torre from Latino's restaurant. [email protected] he sometimes coordinates salsa events.

Both should at least point you in the right direction.

Cheers !
