yoslim Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 maybe immigration should stop issuing tourist visa to people 50+ who can't even afford a retirement visa with 800k baht in the bank, at least it would shorten the queue at jomtien office. Aren't you the guy who started the thread about how to live here short of money? yes, I'm just sick of the constant young guys bashing on TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post davejones Posted September 21, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2012 31 years old and living in Pattaya,he has retired early,unless he is doing something illegal here. the police need to check guys under 40 who live here,they are the undesireables in the main,selling drugs etc Many under 40s work here. It's pathetic to think that everyone under 40 is a drug dealer. You need to get out more and meet some real people. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrain Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) @ transam You know one now. I'm under 40 and moved to Thailand 10 years ago. Have had three respectable and successful businesses in the Kingdom and moved on to Laos now. Considering my age maybe that makes me a net importer of yaba and opium im your opinion..? , good stuff. Nice to hear, BUT LOS is open to shit we read about every day. Thankfully it seems the BIB are onto stuff to deter others. You obviously came into some cash to do your stuff. Let me know how for my future, A lot of hard graft, guts and some luck to make something, but it worked out fine in the end. Mind you makes me look more like 50 now That's all a good business revolves around.Being lucky to have the right product at the right time.

I have never been in trouble with the boys in blue Moved here at age 33, was in the right place right time with some investments. Mind you I still work hard, just Iam lucky to live in this great city. Sounds like someone is jealous he never had the balls to have a go. While you are here so many years already doing business, did you notice that those boys wear brown instead of blue? Its a figure of speech Dopey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beetlejuice Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 How do they get in. He is obviously a perfect specimen of a healthy 31 year old. He looks like he`s just been liberated from Belson. How do they get in? Easy, they just walk in, take root and stay. Then hassle a living by selling drugs or some other kinds of illegal activities. Most of the home countries consider Thailand as a refuge for the scum of the West or Eastern Europe and are pleased of it, it`s saving their tax payers and their Governments a fortune in welfare benefits and prison costs.

JoeLing Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) "Russin Resident Goes Bersek ....." and what's the news? That is that what Russians do. It's b***y cold up there! I'nit? They need to keep that blood flowing. Just survival. Here it's hot, so no wonder if the blood boils occasionally if you grew up in the cold, hmmm, actually a little bit more often then just occasionally. So are the Finnish, Norwegian and Swedish. Huge big Forests, so trashing wood is in their blood. It's part of entertainment in the cold part of this world. Now the Danish, well they are all Vikings and what do Vikings do? They trash wood, mostly abroad, don't think they have much wood at home. And Vikings not trashing someone else's wood just wouldn't be Vikings. Would they? The British, well no wood left to trash, so we go out on Friday / Saturday nights, get drunk smash the bar up and fight. For the fun of it, it's called socialising, having a good time. That's just what British do. The Germans, not too cold, not too hot most of the year. They have plenty of wood but it'sall under states protection. No smashing wood! Instead they drink beer, loads of beer, so the wood trashing is more often then not shouting in to the forest as loud as they can. Now the French ... Well suppose not many French here on TV, so we can leave them out. The Spanish, the Italians. It can get pretty warm there and can get pretty heated but that is nothing unusual, it's called "Passion" - with two hands. Nothing personal. As for the Thai. Well what does one expect? It's b***y hot here. To hot to trash wood and having the sun burning the whole time on somebody's brain isn't helpful now is it? Not for us Westerners, Northerners, Southerners nor for the Easterners. So nothing to with young, old, OAP, BBW, MLF or what ever. Nothing to do with dissrespecting Thailand. It's just the way it is, where ever you go. So, nothing new in this news Edited September 21, 2012 by JoeLing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lizardtongue Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Good luck and well done to anybody who can live in the country of their choice legally whilst in their 30's, whilst not in agreement of the OP generalization I think it fair to say that it is not common to see people in this age group living legally abroad and that they are probably in the minority.

The majority (most but there are a few exceptions) I would guess are managing to stay in Thailand by bending the laws and hoping no one will notice or care about they`re activities here.

robblok Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 But you don't tend to see many of those older guys tossing furniture over the balcony and generally wrecking the joint? True but you see older pedophiles and dealers and guys jumping are usually old too. Sounds like a lot worse then someone trashing his own apartment. The tossing of the furniture is of course bad it could have hurt someone. I can also explain why older guys don't toss furniture over the balcony. It has something to do with their physical powers and limitations. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/568574-briton-held-over-vicious-attack-on-teacher-adam-pickles-in-thailand/ Older brit killing someone http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/579639-bail-jumping-brit-re-arrested-for-child-molestation/ Older Brit pedophile http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/578427-brit-busted-for-cocaine-dealing-outside-nightclub/page__hl__%20dealer Older Brit dealing And I dont have it out for the British just found these articles of older guys doing far worse crimes then trashing a room and they just happened to be British my apologies for that.

anon8 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 But you don't tend to see many of those older guys tossing furniture over the balcony and generally wrecking the joint? Maybe with age people tend to mellow out, and most don't toss furniture over balcony. As people age they show their rage less and less, they keep it inside, so they are less likely to wreck furniture. Anger isn't going anywhere tho. Anger and disappointment turn into bitterness and resentment, sometimes towards younger folk. If not careful, this resentment towards fellow expats can settle in, and without any proof you start suspecting fellow residents being criminals.. cos 'Look, he is 30, how come he isn't a postman in town of Llanddewi Brefi, like I was, until old age retirement' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
