SoiBiker Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I like how he doesn't understand why anyone would want to grass him up. If he's as much of an arrogant <deleted> in person as he is on the page, I'm not surprised someone took a dislike to him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glegolo Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I agree, another young arrogant type, that only complains... But difference is that his complaining is valid, and others are not. OMG what a bitter young lad.... Why in hell stay in BKK of all places, if he likes to avoid all the bad falangs??? Come up to Isaan, here is no problem to be alone, nor find good reliable friends.

ATF Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Don't see anything about being told he's not a criminal and released without charge. If he was arrested there would be an arrest report. He was probably detained and released after making a charitable donation. His blog is very sexually related so don't expect that to last long . Must be making a mint off AdSense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It links to a previous post in the first sentence where he explains that bit, it's a two-parter. No donation, although he offered. http://singlemansparadise.com/i-got-arrested-in-thailand-heres-some-advice/ His blog is very sexually related so don't expect that to last long .

Yes I read about him being picked up on the street and released but that had nothing to do with him working and he wasn't arrested either. He was just taken to the Police Station. He doesn't say what for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePlant Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) He comes over a bit lot of a prat, obsessively angry at anyone who knows more about Thailand or has a more successful life there than he clearly does. He calls out people for claiming Thai women are just after your money then has about 4 pages on avoiding 'bad girls'. Just another cheap, broke no skills loser Thailand clearly doesn't need.

Must be making a mint off AdSense. Probably.. and thing is they can't do a thing.. adsense is working for him while he does not work in Thailand. I have quite a few clients making good money off adsense (and loads of people trying but not making a dime) You needs skills to make money and digital nomads have those skills and are living the good life. Be honest its much more fun traveling and meeting people when your still young. I came here when I was 30 lots of older guys hated that. I can understand people hating digital nomads, because they are still young and can work where they want. I know many of them, its a special breed of people smarter and more tech orientated as most. Must say real low thing to set someone up like that but there are plenty of people who are sad like that. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He calls out people for claiming Thai women are just after your money then has about pages on avoiding 'bad girls'. Just another cheap, broke no skills loser Thailand clearly doesn't need. The funniest part is he is here via the PC whilst in a tourist visa. Then in the next sentence he's bagging EVERYONE on Thai Visa saying that none of them are contributing to Thailand.I happened to have met some of these guys on Thai Visa and lots of them are working legally, have the correct visas and permits are paying taxes and running or assisting to run companies that employ a lot of Thais. Where does he get off? Typical little smart arssed know it all nobody. He thinks he's making a fortune and the worlds first digital whatever to sell stuff on <deleted> eBay or whatever else he's up to. In years to come he will realise what a little retard he actually is. It's funny, no wonder somebody turned the little snott into the cops. No doubt he will end up with half a dozen Thais stomping on his head one day and that will be so done else fault too. Douchebag.

I was joking when I said he was making a mint because his blog only has a few ads, but he his trying his best to promote the Thai dating sites. The only useful thing he says it keep your mouth shut and don't tell other people what you are doing. Which is what everyone including myself has been saying for ages.

Great advice, I don't know this guy don't know his site. Just read the part where he got ratted out. Anyway adsense can be quite profitable for some, others don't make much of it. I know I won't make much because I don't have that skill set. I did have people making 4000-5000 euros a month with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But think this is true for many people moving here. You do leave a lot back home.. so ties with back home are not that important for those of us that live here.

SoiBiker Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 The Anger of those who fear what they don't understand is pretty funny.
