March 12, 201610 yr In the shadow of the successful thread "What are the biggest lies farang tell themselves" http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/897663-what-are-the-biggest-lies-foreigners-tell-themselves/ What are the biggest lies farang tell others? Do you exaggerate your wealth, status, experience etc to fit in or look impressive?
March 12, 201610 yr "What did you do back home to have the money to retire here" Ans.: "Oh, I hit the lottery" (aka, was a drug dealer, or married money and skedaddled on the Mrs.)
March 12, 201610 yr Author Actually sometime I get enjoyment out of going the other way. Head to the tourist areas (KSR) and quietly sit in with the three day tourists. The stories are quite entertaining, a "been there, done that" contest. I just sit there and nod.
March 12, 201610 yr I can only stay I Thailand sixty days this trip, because my businesses back home need me.
March 12, 201610 yr Oh, yes. I have lots of friends all over Thailand, because I've been everywhere, y'know.
March 12, 201610 yr I can think of several people in TVF who like to brag about their alleged wealth. I guess they find it amusing to try to wind folk up, but one extends that into real life. How sad (in both cases). Who cares what they have, if they have worked for it - I have less tolerance if they get handouts from Mummy and Daddy, however. https://youtu.be/ON-7v4qnHP8
March 12, 201610 yr I donot speak to many foreigners any more.When I retired here I tried to get to know a few in my area. I ran out of patience with most so quit talking.Most of the British I met would not even let me finish what I was saying before they would jump in and take over with BS.I am from the colonies as they knew,which must make me second class.Gossip was their favorite tool.Straight out lies were used if necessary to stay in control of conversations.Most had done nothing with their lives and were as interesting as paint drying.No matter what the subject was they knew more and need not listen to me.Their life is a lie.No substance no worth.
March 13, 201610 yr "I donr waste my time with all that immigration crap, I just got the "ELITE" visa, cheap too" "Nooooo, I didnt pay a penny in Sinsod" Don’t miss the latest headlines from Thailand and around the world. Get the Asean Now Briefing newsletter, delivered daily. Sign up here.
