Foreigner's Running In The Roads

[ladyboy69]

why are there so many foreigner's exercising in Thailand, are they so keep fix fanatic's i don't think so do they just come to Thailand to exercising? back in there own country they would jump in a car just to go to the end of the road, this is why we have so many people over weight in the west. why don't they find a safe place to exercise, why along the busy roads, the Thai people just laugh at them, has they zoom past on there bikes, cars, trucks.

Here in Thailand you have to be fit to outrun all the ladyboy scammers and trolls. Just to add a lil extra danger to keep them sharp they run past busy roads. All perfectly understandable for anyone with half a brain.

[Tonto21]

Hi Ladyboy! Nice of you to join in. Welcome.

I don’t fully understand what your drip is! Is it the safety thing of running in the road? Or do these people exercising in plain sight make you feel guilty, because you don’t exercise? Maybe, it’s that you think other people are laughing at them… so as in Rome!

If we all stopped doing things in Thailand because some Thai was laughing at us….. Well you work it out.

Life is way too short to get your g-string in a knot “Ladyboy” I would have thought with a handle like yours you would have been a little bit more “live and let live” Laters…. Dude!

[gotlost]

Where I live the Thais are out jogging not the farangs. So who's laughing at who?

[ladyboy69]

i do not have problem with keep fit, im bigger than most of you. but why run in roads thailand has lots of parks, and green for you to exercise,

"I'm bigger than most of you"...............A! whay hay!

As for where people exercise, each to his or her own, as long as you do it safely.

The Thais laugh at the Ferang for running!! It might be safer to run if the Thais weren't acting like mentally dysfunctional idiots in their cars, pick-ups, buses, bicycles, scooter, tuk-tuks, home made vehicles etc etc in every direction, like they are escaping a volcanic eruption (topical).

And where exactly are these parks and green areas?

it might be safer to run if the thais weren't acting like mentally dysfunctionl idiots????? what who this country has not changed in years this is why you foreigner's come here, why pretend too be something your not.

that statment you made is not nice, what makes you so with it? so thais are meantally dysfunctionl idiots, and you are not?

i can understand why you all have no rights here.

Ladyboy69......... I take it your Thai? Now I'm English, it's my first Language, you need to read what Richb2004v2 wrote again he said; "it might be safer to run if the thais Weren’t acting like mentally dysfunctionl idiots?? He didn't say they were mentally dysfunctionl! a bit of a difference. (sorry unable to high-light words for some reason)

[changnaam]

So LB what or who are you Thai / Not ..... male / female.....? I don't see where you are coming from.

Seems an odd statement to make about people, especially that people in the west "jump in their cars" for anything. I have witnessed Thai's going to the shop less than 10 meters away on a motorbike. Now that is wierd.

Your point about "being bigger than most of you" cracked me up. nice one.

[ladyboy69]

iam me and do not pretend not to be, i see foreigners in thailand have no respect for them selfs or others what would this country be like if you were all aloud to say here, i think no good

first come thailand feel free and smile, the smile dont last long when you can not do what you want running in the roads is just one of the silly things you do.

[changnaam]

So in such a country where people are so accepting of others and allow people to express themselves and get on with their lives........... ie look at all the ladyboys etc who walk around unnoticed,why would you pick out people who wish to exercise and keep fit?

you got me

[IanForbes]

People do whatever they want to do because they enjoy it. Who are you (or anyone else for that matter) to question the motives other people have for doing whatever they enjoy. I see more people walking in North America than I do in Thailand. Most Thais won't walk 100 meters if they don't have to. The only reason many Thais are skinny is they work too hard in the rice fields and don't have enough to eat.

However, I DO agree that running in the streets of a Thai city is a strange occupation. With all that traffic and no proper sidewalks it is more like an agility contest... jumping over carts and motorcycles, sleeping dogs, broken pavement and steet vendors. Oh, and where are all those parks?

[OccamsRazor]

Don't know why the OP is targetting the foreigners as I see at least as many if not more Thais jogging in the road as farangs. Quite a few in our moo bahn daily, around work, etc.

[ladyboy69]

i was in 7/11 a man infront of me wailing for his 1 baht change, i was seved next the man standing there waiting looking mad at the till person, and then said were is my change so had 1 baht.

but you send money and give to thai ladyboy thai lady on internet you have not meet 20,000 baht whats all that about?

[cyberia]

Well, I guess ladyboy69 ( hahaha that's a funny one in itself, so U do enjoy 69 and u want to make sure we all know it ? )

how sweet, I will not sleep tonight, 555, that's freaking funny

as for the following comment

< in there own country they would jump in a car just to go to the end of the road, this is why we have so many people over weight in the west.>

I take it you are well traveled, so you know how things are done in farangland.

Would you be more specific and kindly inform me where you have seen such a thing?

Which country are you referring to? or it's all called Farangland as opposed to Thailand?

Meaning, if it's not Thailand - it's Farangland.

You seem seriously disturbed about other people's lives that shouldn't concern you. You've already been given reasonable explanations. Who cares if some people are miserly about 1 baht and others give away thousands of baht? It's their life to do with as they wish.

it amazes me that people did not see that this is just a troll

Lots of us respond to trolls. Trolls aren't a bad thing if they are cleverly disguised and start an interesting banter. Judging by the poor English I suspect the OP is either Thai or someone who writes English as a second language. In either case, he is seriously disturbed and unlikely to accept constructive advice.

[cyberia]

The point is many Thais do think like that.

I was just talking to a female student from a rather respectable Uni here in BKK, where they teach in English by the way.

She said, 

"I don't understand why all farangs act very strange in Thailand"

exact words

Love it

[ladyboy69]

so you dont like me telling you not to exercise in the roads, you start to give me hard time. the parks green areas on where you live

how can i tell you where to keep fit, thailand is a big place.

[Richb2004v2]

It's strange that he has this opinion about ferang running on the busy Thai roads but is probably not concerned at his/her fellow countrymen riding their scooter in the wrong direction on the same roads, often without lights and with three or four people on them. I guess part of the confusion is that unless something makes one money or raises ones social standing many Thais will consider something not worth doing. Maybe.

I've done a few marathons (ok halfs) in Thailand and there is always a massive turn out of mainly Thais. Thais also jog on my estate, but being Thais they do it when it is dark to add a bit of danger to it

I have been to Thailand for a few years now, so if you don't mind, I will answer you the Thai way.

Don't think too much!

[ladyboy69]

i can tell you have not been running in the roads or running come to that

[WOOHOO]

This troll was neither cleverly disguised, or interesting banter!!

Judging by the childish attempt at pretending English is his second language, I would guarentee it's his first.

Just another banned member, with no friends or partner, or children or life.

How you know it's an "HE" then Sherlock.?. Could be pretending.

[Tywais]

Since the OP is not even posting from Thailand I'm taking this as a troll also.

//edit - to clarify, the location was only one of several criteria that I based my decision to close this on.
