Rants, Stupid Shit and Coronavirus in Thailand

[Syzygies]

Although I could write a hundred quips here, sarcasm does not look well on a tomb stone.

Someone close to me in Thailand once injured a kid's eardrum with a fireworks explosion, totally accidental but sickening. Dangerous stuff to be avoided if possible.

These fireworks are aimed at kids who don't have a lot of baht. I have met several missing arms from "accidents". Do not have anything to do with them. If you see people with them, walk away quickly. They are lethal.

What you wrote looked like a very good summary, and I even got a chuckle or two, without me reading the whole thing (I was busy on other things). Could be very valuable to newbies, in particular.

Now instead of saying, "Read the Fucking Forum", we can refer guys to your post to read.

Many guys just post a lot of shit with zero useful information. Then there are the smart asses. The better your post, the more there will be knockers, who possibly never or rarely posted anything useful. There will always be shit dumpers, on the forum, really negative types. Treat it as praise that you got their attention. I am amazed that posters that think sarcasm is actually funny, since it requires so much talent to make sarcastic remarks (whoops I was sarcastic myself).

Being new to the forum, you are seen as fair game. Guys don't like it if new posters start showing them up.

Unbelievably, I think the Thailand forum has improved. It was significantly more negative a few years back, but some guys left..

Very well said about the posers and trolls. I agree with you and noticed the same thing. In fact, I noted it in my first summary how useless a lot of the commenters are. They just want to stir shit, because they are either bored or jealous.

I think it's obvious that some members are commercial and have an agenda. Driving conversation towards certain places and dumping on other places. They also troll members they see as a threat or those in opposition to their opinions.

As far as being the new guy, I am new to the Thailand thread but not to the boards. My first post was in 2015 and I was a long time lurker before that, so I'm well versed in the trolls and the shit stirring malcontents. I usually just take the high road and ignore them as my time and effort is worth more than that.

Thanks man. Nice to know someone appreciated reading my summary. I will definitely add my experiences when / if I make it there.

Cheers Bro.

I often wonder what motivates the shit dumpers, if they are not disagreeing with your points. Jealous of the attention your post got. Not many posts are important and get a lot of interested readers.

I hope your own experiences will make as good reading. Always things to be learned from our experiences, I just wish I could refrain from making the same mistakes again.

Let me try to clear up your confusion. The point of the post was to summarize what I read over all those pages into small data bytes that are easy to read and understand. Like the Cliff notes of the forum.

I am not sure why anyone would be confused by a summary of other peoples advice and experience.

To me, contributing to the board and future mongers makes perfect sense. Provide them with the cliff notes of the last 130 pages and share the information from the boards in a simple way all in one posting.

I will add my impressions after I visit but that does not discount or invalidate the information already provided by others. My summary was of other peoples musings, I will add my own when I post my trip reports.

I still find it exceedingly odd but you do have your fans Linyio so perhaps there was some merit to your summation of 130 pages which I imagine took some time and effort.

After wiping the tears from my eyes, all one can do is acknowledge Gracias, Linyjo!

Hope I don't miss reading your trip report!

I'm confused Linyio,(I know, nothing new there) , but if you did not t learn much from the postings what was the purpose of your post.

Just to let everybody know you had been reading the forum and getting lots of details on the Pattaya scene ass ways and confusing people.

I always read up on where I'm going but the idea of summarizing what I read or learned and posting it on that country's thread makes absolutely no sense.

Well intentioned maybe but possibly better you wait check it out for yourself and then give your in real time impressions.

Please continue with the 'Stupid shit in Thailand' thread. Looking forward to hearing from you what you've learned there.

That's the right thread for people no trolling. There is no troller there, only good and informative posts.

[Mogwai]

I have 50 more pages to go, which I am sure will only add to my wealth of wisdom.

I am planning my next trip as a visit to Asia, specifically to Pattaya. Being the responsible monger I am I read back the forum from October of 2018, roughly 130 pages.

... to the girl for sex.

Hello forum,

I am reaching Pattaya on 19th, and I am a first time traveller to Thailand. I am staying at Soi 8, and intend to have some fantastic time.

I request seniors to help me about the places where I can find sex. I intend to have soapy massage at one the MPs and also take one girl to my room. Also let me know the prevailing rates.

Thank you.

Maybe start by changing your handle to NotSoSmartBoyMgg?

Rtff, cheers.

[Franciscass]

I agree. I wish I had said "I read" instead of "I learned" because I really did not learn much from the postings.

I tried to be sarcastic enough to let the reader know that it was done a bit tongue in cheek.

There are 3 or 4 people that post good reports and good information and the rest is just trolling and in-fighting which drags the boards down.

Cheers!

Self confessed sarcastic tongue in cheek troller here. I'm confused Linyio,(I know, nothing new there) , but if you did not t learn much from the postings what was the purpose of your post.

Are you a troller or one of the 4 people?

[Linyjo]

Man that was post of the year. I have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard and will put it in ROD. Only problem I see is that you should have put you read instead of you learned, because a lot of the info was either incorrect or outdated.
