.....life is like a cucumber. one monent it is in your hand, the next it's up your arse.
Having abused my body, and brain, for the last forty odd years, it never ceases to amaze me when I wake in the morning. I have a good life here and whilst it may not be a dream, in your eyes, no way do I consider myself stupid!
Im off to vietnam today, gonna lie on the beach eat seafood and drink piss,Perve on the viet Lovelies etc. Looks like the farkin typhoon that was hovering wont be giving me any grief.So yeah im living the dream i guess, Happy Days
"Living the dream" is simply another daft cliche which is accompanied by the "happy ever after" concept promoted by TV advertising. If you buy the latest iphone your life will be complete..... Most people simply live day-to-day and make long-term plans for their future, but these are hardy "dreams", merely aspirations. The constant bombardment of advertising, some of it very subtle, is intended to make people feel inadequate so those aspirations have to include the latest gadget, a Rolex watch, etc. etc..and so the aspirations, or dream, are never fulfilled. God I am glad I don't watch television anymore.
Some people seem to have an idea that the lifestyle here is all "sex drugs and rock 'n roll" only to get spat out after a year or so. Not sure whether that is a dream or a nightmare.
My advice for anyone worrying about some dream? Quit watching television and get a life......and if that includes living in Thailand get advice from people who have been here a decade or more. Sitting in Bournemouth or Nottingham telling us we are failures is so transparent.

I see fish. They are everywhere. They don't know they are fish.
Yep, just to confirm, I've just been through her facebook photo's and there is definitely a 200% boob increase and her skirts have gotten a lot shorter. I think this justifies why my wife thinks we are having an affair.

Did you roundhouse yourself in the head ?Originally Posted by flashbang
So Flashbang, enough is enough. Just how much did she take you for sucker ?

Well first she took his heart, then she took his wallet and then she took his soft head with a well aimed roundhouse.
Flashbang has all the hallmarks of someone who comes to Thailand to live the dream, fails miserably, loses a ton of money and has to scurry home with his tail between his legs.
He then comes onto an internet forum to cry about it and try and make everyone else feel bad about it which makes him feel better about it in the process.

Why does it always have to be this scenario? What about guy goes to Thailand, checks it out, experiences the dark underbelly, realizes it's corrupt as a motherfucker and a pretty shit place to live, does kung fu on some mafia types then goes back to the far superior Europe?
Or does that not fit in with the Thai forum agenda?
Thai forum rules: You are not allowed to leave Thailand unless you have spunked all of your money on a house for a, in the grand scheme of things, pretty ugly farm girl. Her husband and his cronies must then threaten you with a shotgun and tell you to fuck off home. By this time you must wear a vest and be an alcoholic. It is also nice if you smell a bit "off".
Because those of us who have been here a while know:
A) There isn't a Thai "Mafia", merely a whole mess of largly disorganised amateur crooks whose attempts at dishonesty are generally traqnsparent and ill prepared;
B) Thais don't need to kill farang. For the most part the ones trying something illegal are here on dodgy visas, or on overstay, and a quick tip to immigration is all that is needed to dispense with them;
C) Those of us who have encountered serious corruption DIDN'T WET OURSELVES AND RUN AWAY.
Now piss off.

Consider yourself OWNED.
Grow up kid, you're embarrassing yourself.

Met some sweet thing in the Bahamas..said to me "what ever floats your orange juice"....no but
Essentially if ya reasonably happy with a good partner and enough moula for to buy your food, beer,ciggies and diesel and maybe the odd happy ender..?
Hey we all gonna die so...WGAF.
Old but true.."this ain't no rehearsal"
Consider yourself -owned
Consider yourself - warned, mate
Consider yourself - at home
consider yourself - one of the family
consider yourself - well in
consider yourself - part of the furniture

If that's the best you can manage then no wonder you ran away. The Thais scare you did they? OOOOOOH
Did you know the children selling garlands at traffic stops are organised by the mafia? Seriously, we have our very own Don Corleone counting up the ten Baht coins every night.
Yeah, because a Thai has never laid a finger on a farang. They are all peaceful Buddhists, don't you know? I mean, it's not like they throw farang from high rise buildings or anything, is it?
Edit: I have no evidence that any farang have been thrown from high rise buildings, a random guy told me it may happen. It may be suicide. Take your pick, I don't know.
