WaiLai Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) After checking out the local forum for Bangkok, I closed the page in order to return to the Chiang Mai local forum. I couldn't help but notice a few statistical anomalies between Bangkok and CM! Don't know exactly what accounts for these. **** see attachment Edited November 22, 2015 by WaiLai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Pattaya and Chiang Mai forums share a very similar number of posts topics, interesting but pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaiLai Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 Pattaya and Chiang Mai forums share a very similar number of posts topics, interesting but pointless. perhaps, but I didn't really find the Bangkok posts very awe inspiring or interesting I've lived in BK and love it but my summation of the "significant difference" in topics and postings is that people "cruise" thru llife in BK while those in CM might be clamouring for an ear to be heard by Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thailand Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) Perhaps there are more people in Chiang Mai and Pattaya that are capable of writing a post than there are in Bangkok? Edited November 22, 2015 by Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaiLai Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) After the first response to my post I isolated the 4 "heavy hitters" on TV local forums. There has to be better explanations for the differences i.e.; boredom, time available to write, better things to do, happier lifestyle etc; etc; As suggested in the first response "interesting but pointless" may well have its merits!

kurtramsbottom Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Older people complain more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaiLai Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 Older people complain more? there is little doubt about that but that isn't necessarily a criticism of older people because their complaints are quite likely to be founded in genuine concern and in a well thought out manner, and designed to serve the greater community Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaiLai Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 Perhaps there are more people in Chiang Mai and Pattaya that are capable of writing a post than there are in Bangkok? I'm sure that both regions have capable writers but capable writers who have the time to give a sh*t and contribute towards a better social milieu is a different kettle of fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Fewer people retire to Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Pattaya more so, ergo, posters in Bangkok are most likely working and visiting whereas retirees in the other two locations have more time to play.

naboo Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 More expats in Bangkok actually have a life? Well in Chiang Mai, you can only stare at the mountain for so long before you need to find something else to do. Thaivisa is all that's left to do though.
