July 13, 20169 yr Lack of common sense most of the time, but sometimes it is an incident. Lets say back on home turf would be minor ab minor incident but here turns into a shit storm and the foreigner regardless will be held upside down and screwed out of every last dime he has. It's the luck of the draw most of the time! It's not what you know but who you know in Thailand!
July 13, 20169 yr I believe if you stay in thailand for beyond a certain time, no need to go looking for trouble. It will find you. sooner or later.
July 13, 20169 yr girls: oh yes! drugs: No way, <deleted> love? ask people who happen to know OSHO, the Bahgwan ! The Guru of LOVE. No LOVE, NO LIFE. money? it helps to have some in case you feel like having ended in the gutter after coming to amazing Thailand bar these four main perspectives, then please accept you are a FAIL and begin to draw personal conclusions

July 13, 20169 yr One thing when it concerns partners, it's because they "promise" stuff. When it turns out they can't keep the promise(s) that they made, than it hits the fan. Sent from my Vi10Pro using Tapatalk
July 13, 20169 yr Most farangs who get problems here due to 3 things. Stupidity, small head syndrome, drink.
July 13, 20169 yr You must consider the quality of the individuals who are getting in trouble. Criminals will continue to be criminals in Thailand, lonely desperate men will continue to be desperate men in Thailand. They are a prime target for desperate woman who can see them coming, the furry magnet is a powerful force when attached to a young women you would never pick up at home.

July 14, 20169 yr Given the tone of replies, off to the Pub.....MOVED A little bit early for a drink Charlie.
July 14, 20169 yr the ones that get in trouble here most likely get in trouble at home . just more publicity here
July 14, 20169 yr why do so many farangs get there self in so many ploblems? are you married to a bargirl?
July 14, 20169 yr Probably bc at no time do they realize what kind of people they're dealing with when they go abroad. All they see is Thais, but they don't see the differences between them. Best example is the way so many foreigners date hookers here, but would never be caught dead with one in their own country. In short, they're perfectly fine associating with the dregs of Thai society.
July 14, 20169 yr Recent arrivals experience "success" in the areas in which they fell short back home like scoring with women, being nearer the top of the pile in terms of wealth compared to the majority and that can foster a sense of invulnerability If they make it through the first year or two, that gives way to feelings of superiority over the locals and they believe that the law doesn't apply to them.
July 14, 20169 yr girls, drugs, love, money ???????????????? Many never had a girl before falling in love with a ladyboy in Patatay, drugs were always the most important part of their lives, most don't even know how to spell love. as they grew up in an orphanage. Well, the money is from loyal tax payers and selling some hits from time to time is enough to make it to "Fun City." Next question, please. -
July 14, 20169 yr why do so many farangs get there self in so many ploblems? are you married to a bargirl? I guess to a barboy.
July 14, 20169 yr Lack of preparation (research) i.e. not bothering or deeming unnecessary the attainment of information before coming here regarding the difference between their home country and Thailand e.g. the rules and regs., the nature of the Thai and their world (Thai) view, the police and judicial system etc. etc.; finding out how it is and what lies behind why it is like it is. Much of the above comes only with time spent here but a good grounding often separates, in my observation, those who get into trouble and those who don't.
July 14, 20169 yr I could get into trouble, anywhere in the world, if I was perpetually drunk, hung around with prostitutes, riding a motorbike i dont know how to ride and ignore the local laws and customs. Getting into trouble because of a certain lifestyle is not exclusive to Thailand.
July 14, 20169 yr The refusal of Farangs to accept the fact that ladies working in the "entertainment-business" do this to improve their lives and not the live of a Farang = predators ! It's usually the foundation of further "problems" to follow. Cheers.

(Not just on a tourbus)

Getting into trouble because of a certain lifestyle is not exclusive to Thailand. ....but it is so much cheaper and easier to achieve in Thailand!
July 15, 20169 yr Author why do so many farangs get there self in so many ploblems? are you married to a bargirl? no actually im one of the smart ones, single. i bet your married right ! and sorry for the spelling i never had my glasses on
