Rc2702 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nausea Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 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.

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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
