Popular Post umbanda Posted December 26, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2013 I am following TV postings only for the last 9 months, even living here for more than 3 years now...I glad I am doing this. I am 70 years old and retired, not a native American, now happily married with a younger Thai woman. I am getting very useful information here, having fun with some comedians members, getting mad with some negative people's comments, and given useful information when I can. If I knew about TV during my first 6 months in Thailand, I will be free of some bad experiences memories of that time. Now, that's past and I love everything about Thailand. Another "not perfect" country but a lot better than many I use to live in...even my own "land of opportunities". I am very curious about human nature, and I really like to read about other people's experiences and point of view. My point is. It is not easy to understand other people thinking, not knowing details of their situation in Thailand. Tourist? Expat? very young, middle age, retired? That also will help people to make good friends in this site....Why not?.....specially for the "lonely" ones. I felt "lost" and lonely many times in my life, and the Internet was very helpful for me in find new friends...good friends...and love. Happy New Year! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackr Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) Careful what you post, friend, lest your bank account be wiped clean. But why do you need to know all those details anyway, they are arbitrary (and easily made-up) unless you specifically need to divulge in a given thread, say regarding retirement visas... There is a chat section around-abouts if you want to get pally, or PM someone. / PM stands for personal message btw. // Edited December 27, 2013 by jackr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geriatrickid Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I think phone numbers should be mantadory. Great. Now in addition to a 4 footed critter's deep breathing, and a thai talking in her sleep I can look forward to a drunkard ringing me at 2Am from some cheap bar ranting and raving about Ying a ring ding and taxi's kin along with how all Thais are sneaky thieves who are plotting to steal the yellowed toenails of pattaya's long term residents. umm no. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umbanda Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) The other problem is that many people do not read....I said... age and visa situation...nothing more, but people responded talking about phone number, location, bank account etc, etc..making fun..or seriously being stupid... My point is ....How people expect other to give opinions about life in Thailand to others not knowing its particular situation?...If you are 25 yo tourist and you were scammed by a 20 years old Thai beauty...and you feel bad about...I cannot give you any advise, or have any opinion....but....if you are 60 yo expat and you were scammed by a 20 yo Thai beauty?.....I also cannot give you any advise...but ...surely... I will not post my opinion...Got it? Edited December 28, 2013 by umbanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussieroaming Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 What has Visa status got to do with making friends? No wonder some people end up lonely and alone many times in their life.

10Yen Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 At one point I listed my personal website info on the ThaiVisa profile page, Won't do that again. Absolutely correct. Tell em nothing of a personal nature, and don't ever mention your family circumstances, family is a personal thing and there are just too many nasty individuals that lurk on anonymous forums looking to put you down, of course, from the safety of anonymity. I had a female friend who was in internet contact with some nasty piece of work on a social website, pictures were exchanged etc etc, when she call a halt to proceedings after the moron started pestering her and got personal, he photo shopped her pics, stuck her head on porno actress etc etc and posted them to her friends and contacts including family members, you can imagine how she felt. There are some very strange people on the internet, who through their anonymity are completely heartless. Also I would like to add, believe nothing, anyone can be successful, rich and handsome online, the reality is often very different. Gotta go now my pilot just called me, my Lear is ready for take off, byeeeee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langsuan Man Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I couldn't care less if people don't post their age or visa situation, but it grinds my gears when that ask where to buy, find, or sell something but don't tell us where the hell in Thailand they are located Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaibeachlovers Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 <That also will help people to make good friends in this site.> I come on here mainly to get information on the useful sites like DIY. The only reason I come on the General etc forums is to pass the time. Makes a change from watching tv all day, gets me out of the house and I get to see pretty Thai girls. Whatever, I don't come on here to make friends. Therefore, my age and nationality, visa status is of no relevance to my experience on TV forums.

thaibeachlovers Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I have been wondering the same, for example just gender; age and resident area, but seems like most forum members wish to be anonymous. Agreed, and something else to consider is that people like me that have a stalker on TV don't want to give any information that would make it easier for the psycho to track me down.

HeavyDrinker Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Be careful out there people with what personal info you divulge to strangers, and that includes in cyberspace. There are enough weirdos and snakes out there in the "real world" who seethe with envy and bitterness at even the slightest tale of success here in Thailand who'd love nothing better to see the happy and even mildly successful among us fall on our backsides and some who will try anything to do down someone more fortunate than they are. I've come across some very bitter, twisted bast**rds in my time here who revelled in the downfall of a fellow man (and often had a hand in said downfall through gossip and grassing), all of whom I wouldn't trust walking my dog, let alone with my personal info. so as I play my cards close to my chest even when out and about in the 'real world', I'm not going to post my personal info here where every freak can see it....Just last week some scuzzy, oddball, young German bloke came in my local (I'd never seen him before) and started trying to wheedle info out of me but got sent on his way with a flea in his ear and was only two beers from having my boot up his arse. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
