Popular Post Aussieroaming Posted September 21, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2013 Why does this concept always come up on TV....old farang = loser. Age doesn't make a bloke a loser and I'm pretty positive that there are a swag of farangs on this site that are over 50. I've met some absolute losers in every age bracket but the majority of blokes are either hard working or lucky enough to have earnt their retirement or holidays to Thailand. The way I see it the old farang who gets to live out his retirement in LOS, have a few beers, enjoy life bloody well deserves it. And if they happen to meet a younger lass and both get something out of it then bloody good for them. 62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ABCer Posted September 21, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2013 Definition? What is a Looser? And what it has to do with age? Without any trace of malice I can say: yes, I'm lucky to be old; I have been young and I wish any young bloke to live long enough to be in my shoes; does it make a young man a Winner? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of rich losers because they are unpleasant and arrogant, lots of poor winners because they are happy and decent people. I am sure you are rich and happy. 64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could buy this forum 10 times over. Please don't. We like George & Co ! As for the stupid headline, Try to take a look in the visa section with posters asking "I have 5000 in my savings account, how can I stay another year?" Or the most popular thread i general topics: "How to survive on 100 baht a day" Who are active on those threads? Yes you guessed it! Younger farangs! Nothing wrong with that, but please give us a break from age-facism 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post StreetCowboy Posted September 21, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2013 I invariably lie when I describe my prodigious wealth and palatial lifestyle. Not really from any sense of insecurity, but in the interests of exercising my feeble and limited imagination. . For example, that story about the new corrugated iron roof - a slight exaggeration, it was salvaged from a nearby building site And we didn't eat the dog... we only had a pet rat.

Popular Post Frank James Posted September 21, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2013 I would say that getting old requires a certain amount of skill, more so than luck. To move to a strange land at an advanced age, and then to survive and thrive, anyone able to do that should never be labeled a loser. I'm old, though, so I would thank all that. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MacWalen Posted September 21, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2013 I never thought older farangs were losers. Just the oposite. If someone can retire earlier and enjoy life in Thailand in my eyes he is a winner.

Om85 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) People that think that old farang are loosers must be stupids!

Popular Post TheSpade Posted September 21, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2013 Being old and living in Thailand does not make you a loser but there are plenty of people in Thailand who certainly have not been winners throughout their lives. A lot of the older blokes on here like to talk down to the younger ones saying we should be back home making the most of our opportunities and making money while young (they just don't understand we actually are and don't need to be at home), that we must be living substandard lives out here because we aren't spending 100k a month etc as if they think we're the losers Times have changed no need to slave away for 60 years at home and wait until you're retired to go abroad and enjoy life. We're winning now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
