Mental health effects of spending decades in Thailand

[Somchai Boonporn]

^ I hate the loner Brit types who seek out my company in beerbars and say "it's good 'ere innit?" Then start a conversation that begins with "so where abouts are you from?"

The upcountry/rural situations are more pathetic.
More often than not, found in isolated groups within the usual "expat" locales.

[harrymsmarkle]

You people don't really socialize and hang out with your own kind, do ya?
Why?

Isn't this what you do in Portland? Why should it be different for folks here?

[harrymsmarkle]

So typical of the Thailand beerbar stool brigade mindset

So, spent a lot of time around these folks then. Nothing to be ashamed of when in need of ears.

Usually to recite their tales of the local retardness they've experienced that day. Attempted scammings, being pushed past, unable to cross Beach or Second Road or scowled at because the locals are all racist. The first page of their vocabulary book is ''They all hate us don't they?''

Like a lesser, low class game of oneupmanship

I've mixed in many circles and heard it all. I'm an arms length kind of guy.

What might be even more commonly desperate from these "isolated" circles of Farang in Nakhon Nowhere, is the dependence on these so called expat-type forums, where they might find such anonymous brethren to feel comfortable -

Acts as a substitute for seeking out their own kind throughout whatever Province they call home.
Would certainly be an act of despair to socialize with the savages, as most terribly ignorant of culture, customs and language.

Sad and pathetic souls.

Confession is good for the soul.

Ant met his wife at a bar.
He even brags about it...

...can't let this thread go too long w/out bringing up the elephant in the room now can we?

[Tom Bruise]

*sigh* you seem deeply troubled that someone who deserves regular ridicule is regularly ridiculed. Why don't you pop over and ask him why he ridicules Trump, or a number of his fellow TDers, hour after hour month after month?

*sigh* a) you seem deeply troubled that someone who deserves regular ridicule is regularly ridiculed. b) Why don't you pop over and ask him why he ridicules Trump, or a number of his fellow TDers, hour after hour month after month?

a) Sounds like an Adolf Eichmann quote. b) No Ant obsession on my part, but I understand your need to focus on him.

[Somchai Boonporn]

You'll have to run over there to witness the usual slobberish white knights.
There's a handful and quite embarrassing.

[Tom Bruise]

No Ant obsession on my part

Oh I see. That's why you're squaring up to anyone that mentions him then
