As the old fotball song goes

" Here we go Here we go Here we go"

Nothing like a New year fishing trip to start the year right.

How crap is this. OP you have created an awful post. Stick a few examples into the mix for a better response. Expat shark? You mean any bar catering for farangs with leaches and vultures circling? Dunno don't drink too much.

[nausea]

I've only met one shark in 10 years here, and he was more of a fantasist than a shark. Depends where you hang out I suppose, put a sign over your head saying sucker and the sharks will gather. Like they say sharks can smell blood from miles away.

[opalred]

they usually swim in groups or clubs

I got a better topic than this one. Whats the most boreing thing you can start a topic about.

I think the OP is referring to farangs to be wary off, they have schemes to separate you from some money in different ways, and if they are very anxious to do you a favour it is because it is in their best interests.

and no! I have never met any farangs like that, I would think they are more likely to be in cities where other farangs gather, rather than a village up country.

What about a topic that asks what is the most interesting thing to start a topic about?

Not so long ago there were loads of topics coming up in this pub forum, most of them interesting, but now there is very little. I wonder how that is.

For the record, I do not think this topic is uninteresting, maybe it should have been worded a bit better, the idea behind it is quite good, could be a help to newbie expats.

I agrees Possum the JJ GREEN threads became interesting. I often wonder about the "usual suspects" you know chaps that have gone awol off the forum. There was a chap called Ardokano that sticks out as his ideals were slightly skewed and the chap who liked to discuss his lucky escape from a marriage Swissie his name may have been. Of course JJ went MIA too.

 

This thread could have been pretty good and only time I can think of where I was perhaps circled was on an island a few years back and was fed some "i'm in trouble post" by a bar owner. Some story about needing cash. The funny or more immediate threat was this chap had just had a visit from a guy claiming to work for the Police and was looking for a pay off of some sort.

Have not seen JJ Green for a while, Ardokano, don't remember that name, Swissie is still around, seen his post or answer earlier this week.

Your second paragraph, yes have to watch some Farangs, I was talking to a German guy in the bar of the hotel I was staying at in Pattaya, about ten mins later he knocked my door (I never game him my room no, must have been an employee of the hotel) and started giving me a hard luck story, then asked for money, I very quickly sent him on his way.

OP you having a slow/boring day?????

I will never complain about any topic that keeps turning up, whether it's about the cost of living or anything else, remember Thaivisa has thousands of members, and a lot of them come and go, and you always get lots of different answers that can even make the most boring topics interesting.

Had a very similar occurrence when I made a bad decision on a hotel in Hua HIN last year. Finnish guy with a busted leg latched on had to be pretty blunt when he had managed to hop up the stairs and knock our door.

What is boring to one person may not be boriing to another, sometimes I will get bored reading a topic and just move on, other times, I will read it through to the end, yes, it is some peoples life, but I would rather be in the company of one of them, than the guy who is hardly ever of his barstool, and there is an awful lot more of the latter.

If you are referring to me, thanks for the compliment, but it is not my birthdate, it is the birthdate of the real Possum, if you don't know who that is then google it. May I also point out Possum1931 was supposed to be my password not my username, and what was supposed to be my user name is my password, I tried to change it right away. but Thaivisa would not have it.

[opalred]

i expected to draw some sharks out

most would say its your own fault if bitten

but like me 14yrs ago was new and wanted to meet friends in your new home

you would meet in bars or clubs

the first attack

every night would drink with expats

after some mts one wanted to take a parcel of gemstone i had 

to a friend said would buy in bkk 600000b gone never returned

next attack

met in expat club a lawyer and real estate man 

needed money to build condos

i was lucky lost 3mil another friend lost 18mil after the group went broke

but lucky after that found best wife in world and house and pool in country

so to all the miserable sharks drown in your misery and slim

cheers and good luck to the real expats

What is boring to you may not be boring to someone else, I wonder what your life is like, going by this post, you probably spend a lot of time on your own with a bottle of beer in your hand between your cups of coffee

I rarely drink, work out every second day, being ex military, i like to keep in shape, and have just had my third television script accepted by the Fairfax group. And  my drink of choice is blue label.

Ok fair enough, but why are you so negative to other posters, especially me who just calls things as they see them.
