Mitkof Island Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Yes you did forget some. Those that are able to speak Thai. Those that did not meet there girlfriend or wife in a bar. Those that are self dependent not needing the help of a Thai to do anything. Those that are able to adapt to the culture. Those that are able willing and able to eat Thai food. Those that don,t spend their days in bars bitching with other foreigners how awful Thailand is yet won,t leave. Those that are NOT convinced that the Thai government is out to rid the country of anyone with white skin. Those that DO NOT believe that ALL Thais hate foreigners. Those that DO NOT believe ALL Thais are scammers. Those that DO NOT listen to YouTube HATE channels and understand those channels are all about creating drama and nothing more. Those that tend to have a positive outlook on life and understand EVERY country has its problems. Those that DO NOT have a 24/7 scowl on their faces that do not look like they had a long hard object jammed up where it should not be. Those that DO NOT blame all their problems in their lives on those damn Thais. And finally those that avoid the bitching moaners and haters like their lives depended on it.

RedPill Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I'll add another one to the list - Smoking ban on the beach / 100k fine ... but only for tourists ???? - Smoking e-cigarettes in Pattaya / 900 Euro fine ... but only for tourists ???? I had to laugh so much when a famous Dutch singer came to Pattaya for a show event ... afterwards he was walking the streets of Pattaya, his sound man got caught smoking an e-cigarette ... bummer for him, Thai's love superstar too much, but only if they know them ???? https://www.tellerreport.com/life/2019-08-16---gerard-joling-locked-up-in-thai-cell-for-e-cigarette-.SJ7GiJTQVH.html Been to BKK last week, tens of Thai's smoking e-cigarettes around me ... no plomplem 5555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoshowJones Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 21 hours ago, Matzzon said: They destroy the market balance between hotels and the taxi driver that refuse to usw the meters. There are no digital nomads. A nomad live according to Google: A nomad is a person with no settled home, moving from place to place as a way of obtaining food, finding pasture for livestock, or otherwise making a living. ... Most nomads live in tents or other portable shelters. Nomads keep moving for different reasons. Nomadic foragers move in search of game, edible plants, and water. In other words a nomad can not rely on having a regular feed of electricity, which makes it impossible to go digital. They are cheaper than regular bank transfers, which will eventually make the Thai bank accounts more expensive. Because we need to show money in one on a yearly or monthly basis that will be an extra cost. Therefore, dead to Transferwise. It´s dangerous to believe in social media. Se above..... They have opened a new market for a lower standard and service in hotels, which creates a bigger risk to choose a low quality hotel. No hate here! It´s impossible for anyone under 50 to get a retirement visa, but we do hate the ones living on tourist visas. Of course you can´t love people that do stupid things. What are they doing in Thailand if they are financially independent? Same as above. The hate comes from that it´s a stupid thing to do. You can´t make any plans in a country where things change on a daily basis. A lot, but I´ve been wasting enough time with the 10% you remebered. Why should anyone hate people who live on tourist visas, I know there are some who give tourists a bad name ie the shirtless walking the streets and shopping malls etc. But there are many who want to be here long time, and the vast majority contribute to the economy, using hotels and restaurants etc, but the Thai immigration issues must be discouraging a lot of who would be quality tourists.

I think this has developed over the years with increased Immi rules. 20 years before, no one cared on what kind of visa someone stayed here. Certainly not the Expats among each other. Now, that it all got squeezed so heavily, the people who go through all the hurdles and fulfill the requirements, don't give any leeway to others anymore.

This is so true! 25 years ago an agent sent my passport to Malaysia for a border run while I stayed in Thailand. Passport came back all properly stamped by Malaysian and Thai Immigration with another 30 days. No one told me I was breaking the law or cheating the system. They just asked me which agent I used. Many TV Members who claim to be refugees from various 'nanny states' seem to have brought some of 'nanny's' values with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What in the world can that mean? Answer: It means that it is a visa created and designated for people that wish to visit the country for a short period of time. that is why this kind of visa is not included in the once that are labeled long stay visas.

sunnyboy2018 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Hate is a strong word but to be honest the only people I dislike on the forum are the provincial, low IQ contributors who celebrate other's misfortunes especially if busted for drugs, the contributors who are proud of not mixing with girls they like to define as prostitutes and the Thai haters and Pattaya bashers. All these groups seem to have a common saddness, frustration and bitterness and seem goaded by other people's happiness in Thailand. Lacking in real life experience and unused to real travel access to Thailand came to easy to them. Its unfortunate that such mediocre people have a voice on a forum that should be positive and helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
