TLDR : Answer Summary
This thread features a heated discussion regarding the attitude within a Facebook group for expats in Thailand. Members express frustration with condescending and sarcastic comments that undermine legitimate questions. Many contributors emphasize the need for constructive advice rather than insults, pointing out that such negativity discourages others from seeking help. Some users suggest that if individuals have nothing helpful to contribute, they should refrain from commenting. The conversation reflects broader issues of community dynamics and the etiquette expected in online forums.
Nice post. I'm about to leave the group because of some of the idiot answers some people give. I wish the administration of this site would do something about it
Oh, yeah, it's perfectly fine to ban people for using intelligent sarcasm and encouraging others to use their brains to solve problems, but there's nothing wrong with writing primitive insults. Makes sense 🤦♂️. Maybe such people should self-reflect a bit on why they get such replies instead of crying like little frustrated girls.

Was geht denn hier ab ? Hier bin ich definitiv falsch da gebe ich meine Kenntnisse lieber woanders weiter ! Beleidigungen gehen gar nicht !
I appreciate your comment and feel welcome asking. I am new here and wanting to retire in thailand. I’ve never traveled outside the USA so please forgive any ignorance I may have. Money is not a concern but I am only 48 and want to bring my son. What visa or visas do we need to apply for and how do we apply?

You cannot change people or their opinions. What you can do is change the way you react. When we feel angry or or belittled by someone we have a choice how we feel.....take no notice, let the sad unhappy people stay that way.

I certainly won't ask another question. I did a web search, AI search, and sent questions to the Thai embassy in Washington. Nothing and this group was definitely no help with the belittling comments. One and only time.

You do realize that this post is exactly what you are complaining about right? Doesn’t help anyone and belittles others.
There's really no point in wasting time explaining the obvious. He wouldn't get it anyway 😄. Just sit back and wait for the incoming wave of insults 😁. Because that's the only thing this troll is capable of 😅.
these posts are great for figuring out who to block.

My assessment is to move on and ignore. Don't let the keyboard warriors gain importance. The thing they hate the most is no response.😁

Okay, grandpa. And what value do your frustration and insults bring to this group? Just keep in mind that there's a difference between asking for help and asking someone to do all the work for you. By the way, it's fascinating that some people are smart enough to be on Facebook and find this group but too dumb to type three words into Google and get an instant answer.
listen you fool, this is a group for advice, you ask a question and if people know the answer they should reply, if the they don't they should keep quiet! And Grandpa🙄🙄🙄 you Nonce
because you’re a crying little b-ch. A real man deals with his own shit and doesn’t complain publicly. You’re just a weak little girl. And because of your post, everybody knows it.
In the unlikely event of a new member ever reading this thread, a suggestion would to start a question by "I have searched the archived postings but cannot find the answer I need. (Blame Facebook, etc). So.....". You don't have to actually search, just say you have.
And therein lies the crux of the issue. Educate yourself first through search rather than rely on a myriad of opinions from people you have never met, or have had a different experience at immigration as every office has different rules. Once you have a modicum of experience you can then ask an intelligent question and get intelligent answers

Majority don't even know the comment you're responding to.....or u don't understand humorous sarcasm. Easy........everybody just easy! There is no made for all solution!
If the admins kicked the laugh reactors out, the group would automatically be 68% better.
I've done my math.

I am just so sad for all these people caught up in this disaster. Please let there be survivors 🙏 x

hi every one, sometimes it helps to ask chat gtp, then with those answers ask the group how true it is, it is helpful to weed out the insulters this way

I use the block function liberally.

Yeah, in the age of super technology y'all come to a FB website for info. Not like you should go to actual websites that give you the real info you're seeking. Makes SOOO much sense, gotta love the irony.
he was saying fkoff to cnts like you who come onto an advice forum to slag off the very people wanting the advice. So the question is why join if you've no intention of helping??🤷
You are as thick as you are obnoxious. Another clueless yank that doesn't know one end of the world from another🤣🤣🤣 you do know dingo's are Antipodean right🤦🤦a 🤡 for all sessions
Everyone's experiences are different champ. The best advice is to go to the actual website. If you find that the comment is rude, nasty or whatever, just scroll past. No need to argue about it, or accuse.
You need to take the same advice! What is wrong with you people?
If someone starts a sentence asking for "anyone experienced entering Thailand on a DTV......." It means tey are asking for the experiences of anyone who has done that! If you are new to Thailand I can understand your inadequacies. Maybe you are not aware that Thailands rules/laws are constantly changing
You even started your reply with . . . Everyone's experiences are different" 😂
Which cements my point 😂
As for your last sentence . . . . 1) Dont tell me what to do and 2) Here you are arguing about it 😂
No advice needed. You have shown your true colour's. Why are you trying to belittle me? I was stating that if you don't like a comment, move on, scroll past or block! YOU are the problem. I am part Thai, I fully understand the changing laws/rules. No need to be a narcissists about it. Don't like what I say just move on.
People often ask questions which the answer can easily be found doing a websearch or even scrolling through this forum , but they are just lazy and want person service
but this group is to get info. You are a prime example of the post. If you don't want to answer a question, THEN DON'T, and just keep scrolling, period.

There will aways be like this cos 40 % of the people in here have just nothing else to do. Live with it. Cos those who regulate things here or whatever other sites dont give a shit.

ORIGINAL POSTER
Yes but I hate it, the 40% are losers and should fu@@ off
Or block their accounts. Never see them again. Eventually they'll wonder why the group is so quiet.

We all started at sometime with no idea what to do, some people are OK with a computer or with a mobile some are not, you don't get stupid questions only stupid answers, so if you don't want to help keep quiet, it's easy really.
I know. I have blocked a few of them. They think they are high and mighty. You can see why most have to pay for anyone to spend time with them.

This is so full of smart arse with their wisdom
Sometimes we all just need a snippet of useful information, we have alll heard of Google so if you have nothing constructive to say the don’t say anything
my bad, I'm sorry, i thought you was joking. I was wound up reading replies on other posts. But now you're asking please get me a bank account 😂, they're like gold dust at the moment lol
I don't have any income, work or do soft activities, I've been retired here for 3 years on an OA. Every year the goals move. I just go home and renew, leave Mt money in England
, maybe you should provide some basic instructions, like sites that people should consult before they just ask that silly questions here. The laziness is not acceptable. They should spend some time googling around, visiting government sites and getting a rough idea of what is going on, and then ask, with some basic knowledge under their belts, questions from people, who would be more than happy to answer and help. Do you get my point?
doesn’t work. I’m a mod/admin on some sites and we have featured posts pinned to the top of the group and the answers to the most asked questions everyday are posted there. People have to agree to read them when they join before posting questions 😞
I can understand your thinking, iv asked questions but to look at a government document to me is confusing, I’d rather hear it in plain English, by the way thankyou to everyone on this site that has given me advice
