Popular Post Tmymaimee Posted May 15, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2014 Its interesting how in normal non-Thai forums, posters tend to be helpful, cheerful and encouraging when someone posts about their success. Yet in ThaiVisa, its almost the opposite. Bitterness, anger, jealousy...you name it. If someone posts about some accomplishment, a new Porsche they're buying or a beautiful home they're contemplating, it becomes just plain ugly. Why are most posters not supportive and instead come across as envious and angry? I'm not saying they are like that in real life but its just the impression they make here. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Berkshire Posted May 15, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2014 Wow, Whereustay is actually talking about something else besides getting laid. How refreshing. As for the OP, I have no problem with anyone becoming successful in life. I applaud them. The problem is people tend to come on TV and lie about their success, as if to impress people and in essence, making their opinion about anything more credible. Or so they think. Unless it's somehow essential to the issue being discussed, why even bring up your personal wealth? 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tmymaimee Posted May 15, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2014 This is what I am referring to. If someone has nothing to contribute, they say you are a "troll"??? But why can't they simply ignore a topic if they have nothing worthwhile to contribute? Puzzling.... 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post chiang mai Posted May 15, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2014 Thailand (and as a result, Thaivisa) traditionally does not attract expats who are reasonably wealthy, there is therefore a lot of angst and jealousy amongst the remaining 90% (?) who wish they were. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoiBiker Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Wow, Whereustay is actually talking about something else besides getting laid. How refreshing. Are you sure about that?

Popular Post ttthailand Posted May 15, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2014 I have seen more pompous asses in Thailand then any other country who think because they have a few dollars they are above others. Perhaps that is the reason.... I guess after living here so long they also think same Thais " if you have money you are somebody" hahaha... Stupid people everywhere ! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they are entirely truthful....you don't know unless you've met them. I'm not referring to personal wealth necessarily. If someone talks about a new Mercedes they bought and the topic was new cars, so therefore entirely relevant to the topic, why so many posters on TV would be negative towards him? I only ask this because I'm on a sailboat forum for a bit now, and everyone seems to get along so well, are helpful and encouraging. Here it seems like its just so many, angry, bitter people when you talk about so many topics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here it seems like its just so many, angry, bitter people when you talk about so many topics. Why do I assume they're lying? Because I'm around relatively wealthy people all the time and we flatout don't talk about money. I remember a while back some guy was ragging on and on about Thailand and was just fed up with the place. Which is fine. He then insisted that he was going to take his millions elsewhere and it was Thailand's loss. I told him I didn't believe a word he was saying, but don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai at Heart Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Success is relative. Relatively few self made successful farangs in Thailand. Extremely difficult to be successful and be 100% legally clean. I know a couple of blokes who have made it. Very hard work and good people. I know one who took friends for hundreds of thousands of GBP. Best way to be very successful in Thailand is to be paid by someone else to do it.

Whereustay is on record for not only boasting about his immense sexual prowess, but his financial success as well. So maybe this thread is his own personal request that other members not be jealous of his success, but rather be in awe. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then why the imbalance between successful farang here and in America, etc? Are there not the same opportunities here versus a western country for someone intelligent, smart and hardworking to become successful? I remember an Indian reservation I used to fly into in northern Canada. A very successful and smart non-local Indian came back to visit his hometown after 20 years. As he walked the streets, the residents actually threw rocks at him and yelled at him to go back home. Angry and bitter. I really get the feeling like its the same way here with so many farang. I just don't know why they're like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far more successful people on here than me...and you want to meet a "playa, look no further than HooHaa. The king. Whoever said about being in awe? You said that...no one else. I'm referring to the anger and bitterness I see here...some of its already filtering through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoiBiker Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 If anything I'd say it's the other way around - the expats that have made a go of things tend to look down on the vest-wearing alcoholic whoremongers who're only here because they can get laid and have burnt their bridges back home anyway.

Popular Post SDM0712 Posted May 15, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2014 I have also noticed that there is a small group of posters who tend to take a very negative unhelpful and adversarial view. My "ignore" list has grown over the last half year or so , it's a very useful tool and I suggest anyone bothered by these people use it!not you don't feed the trolls they will go away.
