In general, the miserable buggers, who got fed up with where they came from and moved to Thailand based on a one week vacation, are the ones who are most miserable here, and will be wherever they go next.  Including back to their home countries.

[Golden Triangle]

Desiderata - Words for Life

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

— Max Ehrmann, 1927

Thank god it's far enough past breakfast and long enough until lunch where I am that I didn't have to toss my cookies and will likely forget this enough to have an appetite by early afternoon. That's a bit too vivid, but I should have known better than to keep reading after the first two adjectives used to describe the zit. 

Its like watching a car accident in Thailand...despite crushed body parts, headless corpses, squashed torsos and bloody broken limbs dangling out of the wrecked Mini van you just can't look away!

1. Not I will not talk to you about sex , go for a massage or something or go to a bar and talk about sex with bargirls 

You do know that you are missing a trick there? You could wind him up with tales of your longest ever session of continuous sex. When I was in my early twenties, I read an article in Penthouse that told of a series of world sex records. One was 4 hours of continuous sex without stopping. I was determined to break the record so took my girlfriend to the pub and had 4 pints of Boddingtons to prevent any "prems", went to bed and stet a clock up by the side of the bed. Off we went and after 3 hours I realised that my girlfriend was asleep. On I went and managed the full 4 hours before collapsing with exhaustion.

 

Come on Sano mate, tell us about your marathon session.

That goes without saying , you always have sex every night  and every morning .

You must be an anomaly though , because people either talk about sex often or participate often , its quite rare for people to participate regularly  and talk about it all the time

I fixed it for youse guys:

 

Stride manfully amid the noise and filth,
and remember what fun there is at the GoGo.
As far as possible without rudeness
negotiate fairly with the girls.
Make your offer quietly and clearly;
and listen to many others,
who have enjoyed her perfomance;
at a bargain price.

Avoid loud and aggressive falangs,
they bring the attention of the BIBs.
If you compare yourself with others being barfined,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be a hotter girl out there.
Enjoy the one you have even if she is plain.

Keep a firm hand on your wallet, however light it is;
it is the only reason a fat sweaty pig like you can get laid every time.
Exercise caution around tall beauties;
for the street is full of ladyboys.
But let this not blind you to what charms they hold;
many Germans strive for that little extra,

not erased by hormones and makeup.

Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Just spew, pay and be done;
because its nice to have the bed to yourself
and not be bitched at in the morning.

I could do more but you get the pic, ja?

Run? run, you must be joking, most of us too bloody old to run, or cant even walk.

Sooner or later we all learn that running is for busses, and if you can't hide, running is no use.

 

Big Ernie said "You can run all you want to, but it would be better for you if you came back now", and they did.  You can catch a bus, you can catch a cold, but but for buses and noses, there's no excuse for running.

Because that's all it is - talk

 

Numerous posts, proud of the fact the women in his life only stick around 30 minutes and he pays them to even put up with him that long.

 

EDIT Reminds me of a new arrival with money to burn. Back home, women want no part. Here, king of Pattaya. Living the dream.

If he can get rid of them after 30 minutes he certainly is an expert.  Takes me hours if not days.

30 minutes? Thats like getting married.

 

5 minutes to walk around the corner.

30 seconds to spread the plastic bag on the ground behind the dumpster like a true gentleman.

60 seconds for the act.

5 minutes to walk back.

 

Im must be in love.

You would be distracted by the large, juicy, protruberant and pustulant zit on the tip of my nose that looks like a large inflamed vanilla ice cream cone, albiet a sickly light greenish yellow coloured one surrounded by red. It does have a tendency to wiggle as I talk sometimes. Maybe we should have dinner together one night to check.

Likewise, you would probably find my deadpan expression ( also called prison stare ) quite uncomfortable. i constantly get mistaken for law enforcement, even in Thailand. One of my friends told me I have the personality of a taipan. Still game?

Are those eyes bulging and protruberant like that Monty Python dude? Cool.

 

The girl at the 7-11 near my condo says I am Ee Hia so I guess that trumps your Taipan (should have been capitalized)

No. A former GF told me they were penetrating. I'm unsure what part of her she felt was penetrated.

Australia has 11 of the 12 most venomous species in the world. The taipan is one of them. Take care if you visit, we refer to Americans as crocodile lunches.

What is Ee Hia? Forgive me, I'm used to Lanna Thai, not the effete Bangkokian dialect.

[Santogold]

Been here almost 2 years now. In my experience, and from what I've seen, those who come here to be a part of Thailand and to fully integrate, thrive. However, the vast majority of ex-pats don't care to do that - often outright rejecting the idea.

It's hilarious how funny you think you are. So trite.

 

You don't think we've been there?

 

You think yourself some fanciful epic hero we wish we could all emulate. You sound like a pound puppy. Each one of your posts is the same. Tired, banal. Trying too hard comes quickly to mind.

 

My hunch is you've only been here a few years. You won't be back other than a holiday once a year at best. You sound like every other living the dream loser on a Pattaya barstool.

 

I find your posts toxic. Not for of any politically correct reason, it's just your personality.

 

In my thirty years of being in East Asia I have never had a woman, especially someone whose company I'd arranged "bitch" at me in the morning (or any time). But I'll consider the source.

Because as he stated and I agree, it's one thing to make passing remarks. Yeah this is a man's board sure. It's quite another to devolve every conversation into some vapid verbal porn about your personal sexual conquests.

vapid

I thought vapid was banned in Thailand.

 

Maybe the westerners that thrive best here, are relly just secure in themselves? Like if something annoys me, avoid it! Life is too short to worry about overly salted 40 baht noodles.

It makes younger men realize that it's all about money and not how handsome or glib they are.  Warning for laddie - her heart belongs to daddy.

You don't think women worldwide have similar discussions about their husbands/partners etc.? Perhaps you would be more comfortable in Victorian times.

If you don't like the tenor of conversation, no-one is forcing you to read it.

The four factors for women are handsome, power, intelligence and money. Not necessarily in that order.
