phutoie2 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 (edited) Maybe just me but the letters page and the replies are starting to irritate.

rodentwarrior Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 The really annoying constant letter writer to BP who really gets on my tits is Eric Bart. Vegan, self appointed lecturer and general knob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Familyonthemove Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I reckon I'm a Number 3, but I'm also partial to a slither around a dirt-pit now and then .... so this might knock me back to a 2.5:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckamuck Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I know quite a few educated professionals who don't give a fig about integrating. There is a lot of older guys married to young uneducated ladies that contribute quite a lot to their community and poot pasa Thai gang. And some of the foreigners in Pattaya just got off the plane. They learn to slither later on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

473geo Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 So being an educated proffesional married to an issan farm girl is not a category?.......I guess a lot of us are just not to type...... pleasing isn't it......to defy the logic of the ignorant.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mca Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 (edited) I love the ones who, just to be sure their message of banality is fully absorbed by the masses, write to both the BP and the Nation. Not forgetting that these missives of utter tedium are the ones that are actually selected for publishing. Christ only knows the ones that get rejected. 2 words. Internet porn. A much more fruitful way to spend your time. 3/ the rest of us: a decidely small group of educated, professionals who are integrated (more or less) into the society, working with Thais, contributing to the country, paying taxes and speaking the language. I guess this blokes education didn't stretch to the superfluous use of a comma after educated. Edited August 22, 2010 by mca 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stander Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 The OP is obviously not letting his education get in the way of his ignorance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses G. Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Can I be a mixture of 1 & 3? I don't like slithering all the time, but the other choice sounds pretty boring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually one of the big advantages of no 2, being 'lost somewhere up country', is the limited exposure to this sort of garbage..... , Edit: sorry UG didn't mean your garbage, I meant the letter writers garbage.....

terrier123 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 And of course the main qualities for belonging to the elite type 3 are -------- humility and tolerance of others. Just let people get on with what they are happy doing and YOU do your own thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirineou Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Any educated (or uneducated reasonable person) person would have started his statement, with the qualifier " in my opinion" yet this person being Quoted seems to have Empirical evidence that there are only 3 types of ex-pats living in Thailand, I guess that places him in a 4th category, I will leave it to you to guess what that category might be, but it involves bodily orifices utilized in dispensing excrement of the same quality as the quote. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhMyCodBangkok Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Kinda like all the letter writers and posters that have to start their comments with "my NON bar girl TG" or "my TG who is chinese Thai" its all really just bigots making noise hardly worth worrying about or responding to. I guess much like I shouldn't have wasted the two minutes it took me to reply I guess hahaha.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverdie Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I'm surprised there wasnt an option 4. Thai visa poster & expert expat, specially skilled in fast wity reply posts and pathetic bickering skills over nothing. Since its missing it looks like I really dont qualify, im not a professional, i loathe pattaya and my better half is a bangkokian just a couple of years younger than myself. don't ya just hate it when you dont fit into the little moulds to keep people happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlBkk Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 That reply in today's BKK Post took the importance off the real issue he should have addressed in his reply: why the Thai government aren't interested in offering foreigners here more slack for house and land purchases plus visa rules. He felt it was because most of the foreigners here were considered low society and not worth appeasing! Now that's worrying - either his opinion or if there's any hint of truth in it. Thai Rak Thai indeed and we hate it when we're on the undercard, but don't you wish the governments back in the homelands loved us like this? If Thailand has welcomed foreigners with open arms in all things visa/vote/land entitlements I can imagine how Buri Ram might look now. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoutsider Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 The guy who wrote the letter puts himself in the good group 3 to big himself up, quote: "3/ the rest of us". he is proably dogging the law in his own country down in patpong. group 4: Staring a new life and identity to get away from previous.

zzdocxx Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 As I have said before, there are really only TWO types of people in the entire world. Those who believe there are two types of people in the world, and those who don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
