Why are farang so unhappy about successful farang in Thailand?

[WitawatWatawit]

Maybe the OP should post only in the gardening section and regale us with tales of his success at growing tomatoes. He should feel safe from the cruel and bitter world in that forum.

PS: Got any tomato growing tips, matey? My latest effort is failing miserably, and I'm getting all knotted inside about all those other gardening scumbags who post pix of their mighty triumphs -, the curs. Hate them.

[pigeonjake]

OP, perhaps you should show us some posts where YOU have come to YOUR conclusion so I/we might understand what you are on about.........

Why is it these posters with, what??? 23,000+ posts cannot even stay on topic and make a worthwhile contribution or shut their fuc*ing hole???????????????

YOUR at it again,,,,,tut tut,,,,

have you tried anger management???

[Seastallion]

I have no problem with people's successes. I admire them.

It's BS artists that get the derision.

Take this OP for instance. It's sole purpose is to feign incomprehension of the ragging in order to appear to be genuine in his other BS posts.

I guess some people lead lonely sad lives and have a need to fantasise out loud.

[pigeonjake]

Is there a way to start a thread and prevent anyone with more than 1000 posts from posting a reply? These are the jackasses that make genuine people get truly fed up and go elsewhere.

buy buy shut the door on your way out and please dont let it hit you on the ass,, you dont want you to go off on one again,,,

[brit1984]

most of us are complete losers and really jealous of those amazing billionaires who discuss their incredible success on anonymous web chat forums in between their morning polo match and afternoon tea at the oriental

[johnmarhall]

good luck to anyone who can make money here and enjoy life and good luck to anyone who just enjoys life here

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?

But why the assumption they are lying? 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.

The assumption stems from jealousy. This forum is full of extremely envious and bitter men.

If you don't believe me, start another thread and tell everyone how your new girlfriend is upper class and Thai-Chinese. After that, sit back and watch as the creeps come crawling out of the woodwork.

If everyone on this forum were wealthy and married to Venezuelan supermodels, there would be no jealousy at all.

Truth is, of course, most forum members are married to middle-aged runts, ex whores or tattooed peasants. Another problem is that lots of men are stuck in ruts and coming to terms with the fact that they'll never reach the top of their profession.

yes, start your own forum....

there you go, people fighting about why people are always fighting. sooooo predictable

[Thai at Heart]

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.

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.

Are you joking?

How.many foreigners alone have lost successful businesses to their Thai partners. That alone is an enormous brake on success. America is a free market with 350mn consumers.

Thailand is a heavily restricted market with 5mn?? consumers as wealthy as the average american and the rest are below minimum wage by USA standards.

whereyoustay,

With such a lovely disposition, I can't image you are ever going to experience what it is like to have 23000 posts.

You are a shining example of people that climbed out of wombs around 1980, 1990 ish.

Have you met 'most forum members' ?

I reckon, over the years I've met 40 or 50 of the guys (and 2 ladies) here.

None fit your description.

Though I don't doubt that some indeed do.

There is quite a lot of good and successful guys out there.

[pigeonjake]

there you go, people fighting about why people are always fighting. sooooo predictable

some of its about having a bit of craic,, you want to try it sometimes,,lol

There wouldn't be many threads / posts either.

There you go again. Very naughty. Clearly nobody has had that talk with you yet, I suspect it's coming though.

Have you tried posting on YouTube? I suspect you have because your posting style seems familiar.....me thinks

What a sad existence. Maybe that's why so many farang kill themselves in Thailand. Maybe sometimes they are not wrong to kill themselves as really, what other options do they have? Like that British guy on here with no friends or money returning to England. Would anyone care if he just jumped off a roof? Nope.

[Soutpeel]

Personally I think what happens is certain people move to Thailand, thinking they going to be a big Bwana among the natives, they get here and find there are other "big Bwana's" doing the same thing, and some may be doing better than others and this is where the resentment starts

Suppose the best analogy I have seen as what happens in Thailand is "Little Britain's" "only gay in the village" sketches

[JLCrab]

I remember my sailing / living-in-the-harbor days: For every person who owned a yacht there were 10 or more claiming to own a yacht.

[wprime]

It's just jealousy, when they're on 30,000 baht a month most of which they use to pay their unattractive wife with 1 nose ring, 2 tattoos, 3 kids and an extra 20kg around her waist, they can't help but be resentful of anyone with any sort of financial liberty.

[HeavyDrinker]

OP who are you envious of today? Tell us who upset you so much you needed to post another nonsense thread or have you just realised some can stay here full time with no need to live in the realms of three girlfriend fantasies to pass the time.

Most people here tend to applaud and enjoy the success of others unless it's from your vivid imagination.
