Thread: Beware.

Classic. Have a bubble mate,

In fact the only worthwhile thread that the idiot Simple Cyrile started was about a cafe on the Indonesian forum.

Brain fodder not...........................

Good night everyone.

My wife has just cooked a Calzone pizza that I may use as a pillow or consume it.

Sweet dreams my fellow members.

Yes mate but after living here for so long I have seen a negative trend against us who formally were respected as building up their infrastructure and improving their life styles.

I have recently spoken to Bits and other Europeans who are absolutely livid and angry about how their Governments have sold out to Immigration pressure giving their rights and tax payer monies away to ethnic groups.

In Thailand to receive such status is extremely rare.

I wouldn't dream of accusing the Thais of rational thinking.

And I think there is still time to get out before the pogroms start.

They respect your money too much

Oh, you've had a drink with lardass and his brown-shirt mates recently?
Right, I forgot you & your "Bits" friends came from a war-torn country to seek refuge after you lost all your possessions and your family was killed.

The missus and I were driving back from Jomtien beach, a motor bike drove next to us and the passenger tried to snatch her gold necklace. I swerved, he failed, they sped off, we survived.
I saw a similar incident on Second Road, I think they were successful.
The condo next to ours had the front door smashed, contents stolen.
A passenger on a motorbike driving in front of me dropped his hand gun on the road. I stopped, they stopped, he got off, picked up his gun and we were all on our way.
While driving to work, I would be stopped a couple of times a week by the fuzz to give them 200B for whatever reason they could think of on the day.
It sounds like nothing has changed, Pattaya is still the shitehole it has always been, perhaps you are just getting older.

Pattaya, and the region, was never this way in the past [30-40 years and beyond].

What entities were introduced to create such a "paradise" as we witness today?


Hmmm....
Entertaining logical guesses - anyone...??
[I'm sure most won't/can't figure it out]

Hmmm, illegal Burmese? The Thai-Chinese elite? Isaan whores? Yabba dealers? Mooslims from the South? Bangkok criminals? Russian mafia?

I would bet my John Daly driver you will never manage a course in Thailand. Nor do you currently even work in golf. You seem to be the kind of fellow I would not like to meet, much less encounter.

Reminds me of someone

Hi mate and thanks for contributing to this thread.

Yes I am older.........maybe wiser..........maybe whatever but whilst I may seem to be slagging the country off I basically love the people here.

Times are tough, money is hard to come by, droughts, political instability and increasing competition from neighbouring S.E.Asian countries is starting to hit home and people are hurting.

Thais will blame anyone who they may feel are better privileged then themselves.

Especially people who they are now feeling have no right to be here in the first place.

Well said. That and all the so-callled glamour news from the WEST makes them envious.

Times are tough, money is hard to come by, droughts, political instability and increasing competition from neighbouring S.E.Asian countries is starting to hit home and people are hurting.

in a country with almost zero per cent unemployment, it should not be too hard to find work. yet ask any business owner about their difficulties in obtaining staff and then keeping them.

i maintain that the thai is inherently lazy and will seek the easiest way to make money.

for many, that involves prostitution and or petty crime, such as mugging, drug dealing and burglary.

it is more a question of responsibilty and morals than the state of the economy.

Have to agree, tried to get workers to do some painting for us, small job no want at 400 a day, usually about half a day by the time they turn up and minus scoffing time. Only want big job for big money, ended up with the BIL going it, he tuns up at 10.30, be stopping soon for eating and probably painted the floor or the cat by now, better go and check. Bloke where we lived before owned a business for years, gave it up in the end cos of staff problems. The most annoying was half of them not returning after new year, they would take the end of year bonus and not come back, no notice just f the guy who had been their employer.

Bit off track, but one of my pet niggles is my staff coming in in the morning, putting their bags on their work station - and buggering off for breakfast in the staff canteen. For them they are "in work" and on time.

Thats ok just clock em back on when they begin to actually work

Standard practice everywhere in Thailand or Asia, it seems.

Some other countries, as well, if you're lucky...

Not surprising that my post evaded your mental capacity.

For a prick that sits at his computer for hours stalking me and has all his crap deleted in a heart beat it must be very frustrating Simple Cyrille.

You are a fvcking joke..............

Of course, I knew that.... we can our games and our rules, at least it got cyrille unecessarily hard.....

How do you manage that? Is it unmanageable?

yes, it's culture, you will receive no back up from the powers that be, in fact you will be made to feel like a cvnt for suggesting it is inappropriate.....

Just tell them that starting time is at 7:00 am when it's really at 7:30 am...Half an hour later everyone will be on time...Heh...

Ya gotta out-fox 'em...

You'd think it would be easy for someone like thegent...But, nooo!...He's crazed by the smell of bacon...

More than likely.
Yet, most will consciously point out the comparative difference as it applies only to them, as civilised folks in "real countries" would never have such a working disposition [and of course, a much more advanced work ethic] of this nature.

I will remain calm and ignore you relentless trolling but the theme about this thread is about how Thailand has changed over the last few years.

Most who have posted on this thread basically agree with me and those people are in the know.

Not anywhere else you prat.

Start a thread about Bayswater if you think it will work or fuck off and leave my shit alone.

Well here is a question for the pseudo experts, if we can find one.
Who of you would say Thailand has got better in the last decade?

Ask the Thais on the street mate.

It's got a much better new International airport, even though I have fond memories of the old Don Mung , the new one has lovely mega Big Buddha statues that make a better background for selfies
