Why are there so many sarcastic comments on expat groups about Thailand?

Bye bye 👋 👋 🤭😂🤣

Surely not

She's not back again is she miss bucket

So?

I have a headache...

Or you could have been appreciative of all the positive, helpful replies you got that fully answered your question. Instead you choose to focus on a couple negative replies. Welcome to Facebook.

I am to

Very bad

You just described 98.6% of all FaRcebook users, everywhere. Posting it here, in this group for everyone to read and respond with irony, will change the world.

Julie yeah sadly to many a$$.

They have nothing to do but give everyone grief. Sad.

Just ignore them. They have nothing to offer.

Many on the food groups also. Always finding issues where none exist.

Perhaps they don’t have normal or any moms. Moms say of u can’t say something positive say nothing.

Stop reading them. If in your life, you find your thoughts and feelings dominated by others, it’s time to retune back into reality.

I do not know which bit you are referring to however this group compared to some others i follow (Bali, Mexico ..) is super civilised and friendly.

Julie Pisspot, if you don't like it here...leave!

@Garrett **********

look on the

Remember, half of the people are below average. Don’t let below average people get to you.

Besides, most of those are women and you just cannot take anything they say seriously anyway. 😂🤣

There you go again playing the victim always getting pissed off at tiny little things that really have no bearing on your life.

Best source of Thailand Visa info .... period.

Someone doesn't understand facebook......

First time on the internet?

Chill .its mostly banter and idiots .

Nothing sadder than a hypocrite...

The groups are filled with two different types of people - Poindexter know-it-alls like Brandon Thurkettle or depressed angry old retired men with no lives.

If you are being a crybaby about remarks you are most certainly not tough enough for The Kingdom.

Leave

Then dont start a group if you are a Karen.

Hi Julie , I agree, everyone knows that things can be googled but sometimes its nice to get a bit of insight from people , I was once told by a very wise person .. "IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION IT'S NOT STUPID AS THE QUESTION REQUIRES AN INTELLIGENT ANSWER or YOU WOULDN'T HAVE ASKED IT and if you don't ask it then WHO IS ACTUALLY THE STUPID PERSON for NOT ASKING? ..... plus how will you know the answer ? EVERYONE that has visited other countries for the first time had questions as it was their first time and the negative people forget THIS !!........ they were in the same boat at ONE STAGE asking the same so called STUPID QUESTIONS !! .. please be nice in these rooms guys and HELP THE NEWBIES for a change , NOT CRITICIZE THEM .. We WERE THEM ONCE .............................................. "BEFORE" whether a DAY or a CENTURY AGO !! ...... "We WERE THEM ONCE"

I enjoy the comments, some are hilarious, some are rude and of course it's all entertaining.

Agreed, unfortunately, most Thailand groups are filled with pathetic wannabe comics.

Go home!!!!!

Douche!

proud ??

Karen is outraged, I can feel the scrunched up face through her words.

The wonderful world of social media. 😁

Then remove yourself from the group

Very easy..

This behavior is not unique to this group. This a facebook issue with old frustrated men retired in Thailand

Or all the similar groups for that matter.....

Did you miss the second part of the group name—you have 2 options—stay or leave🙈🙈🙈

You can’t get mad a zebra 🦓 for having stripes. That is what these groups do unfortunately

The admin has to kick out all these idiots that are just negative and rude in their answers!

So bounce and quit bitching, Karen..

For one thing. There is not one bit of knowledge you should be listening to. It’s all couch potatoes lawyers. Only the official Thai embassy you should be getting facts through. Here it’s a get you thinking kinda thing. Other wise I have a bridge for sale.

Grow a sense of humour and stop your whining.

Commonly known as Facebook Flounce.

Well why make a post encouraging them then😂

😃

🙃🙃🙃 do we care 🤣

Clickbait people !

I know exactly where you are coming from Julie. Do what I do and BLOCK sarcastic and negative remarks. It makes for a happier life free of some nasty farangs 🙏😃

I'm not sure why you're P####d off as there were many giiving sound advice. Yes, you'll always encounter jokers 🃏 no-matter what site you're on.

Wot’s rcb.

Bye bye Karen

It’s because for ONE they should delete the “and everything else “ part of the name for this group . It’s just an invitation for some weird people to post random garbage , and even NASTIER people to respond and post . But yes I agree with you , some of these guys here are down right irritating….

Bet you’re glad you posted this 😂

@Julie *********

what? In what way

You must be a liberal, they are never happy!

Do you have any examples?

@Julie *********

, in guessing that you're new to this group and ones like it 🤔

I've experienced much worse than you have in a couple of Thailand related groups that I've been in for the past couple of years. It seemed a 'big mistake' to put up a Post about my meeting a beautiful Thai lady on my holiday to Thailand. The number of responses to my post was way beyond what I expected. Roughly 50% were negative, or outright rude, though not quite so bad in this group. My advice is 'thicken your skin' a little and ignore the negative comments, but if they are really rude, block the people, so you don't see their comments and they don't see anything from you. I've blocked a small number of people and others I've just ignored their comments. Sometimes you'll also find that someone who does comment negatively occasionally, can sometimes also provide good information to group members. Being an Aussie, I've found a higher number of negative types in the "Australians in Thailand" group than this one.

I missed the original post I think

Dude get lost if you don't appreciate.Dick brain.

Do you realize that your post contains the same negative energy than many of the comments you despise?

Ehat do they say … ask a stupid question, get s stupid answer. In school they wouls say there is no dumb question. ZyES there is!!

I might be to old what does rcb

Stand for

Is this a pro noun thing or something else

Thank you for your service 🐕‍🦺

I got my question answered by a smart ass and I told him so. Later I had one more question and my smart ass answered and commented what do you think of your smart ass now?

Julie Philpott goodbye

I researched it ?

I agree, that seems to be a spreading disease among people who use social media.

Apparently there are some who use it mostly to annoy, ridicule and offend other people, no matter how childish that is.

I started blocking everyone who makes those kind of remarks a while ago. And after a while it started to work, less and less childish remarks.

Just because you don't like the info people are providing despite your rudimentary status info doesn't mean they are bad. It only means you are badly prepared or delusional.

Land of Smiles inDEED Khap?

🌿😁 we are so stoked that since July 2022 we can all chill, go to the local dispensary and PHIL POT with….

( Northern Thai sticky organic 🌿🔥 is the best …and supports our host country with HIGH paying jobs)

If you don't like some of the answers posted, I suggest you go somewhere else and complain and bitch to someone who cares ....

One of the funnest Groups on FB

Stupid questions get stupid answers, you must be in a state of constantly being pissed off

Well done Andy.

Looks like you could do with some meditation to learn how to cope in the world ... Sort through the good and bad answers taking only the good info .. why would you need to get P'ss'd off or disappointed, that's your choice to get stuck on the negative ... Learn to chill and move on because no one's here to comfort your whining, only you can brighten your day .. try harder 😊👍

If you’re getting advice form a Facebook page then you’re already wrong

Haha

I think you misunderstand the sense of humor that the Brits and the Aussies have but if you don't like these comments you certainly won't like it when they're drinking! 🤣🤣🤣

Hardly surprising seeing as your only other post was "I booked 9 weeks in koh samui, will I need a visa and proof of money"

Obviously 😂 and Google has existed since 1998.

Aww you didn't like the advice that people gave you? Maybe join "Thailand visa complaint" group?

You’re right.

So many don’t appreciate the joy of Thailand. They just want to snipe at those who do.

Read the pertinent stuff and just ignore the rest. Just look at it as entertainment. It’s FB for goodness sake and almost all free speech…😎✌️🧡

All the people that post or answer something I don't like I block, easy and bye bye 😂.

Because people don’t use the search function before posting a question,the same basic questions have to be answered again and again, and that get quite anoying for those who are using this group repeatedly.

Sarcasm is annoying but to be expected on some posts. I can scroll by. The bit that I don't like is targeting individuals, sending abusive personal messages.

No way, Im watching the 1976 movie Network right now, maybe you can lean out your window and yell im as mad as hell and im not going to take it anymore...😄

We hope you enjoyed your visit

Please come back again soon

Cry cry cry douche bag!

To be fair, this is a FB group and not an official advice service . You get the good, not so good and downright dumb answers. Roll with it

This group is FAR from bad, I read through the comments on your last post and the worse ones are mild. And I believe there are helpful comments on it as well.

Thanks for telling us! May I suggest rolling a fat joint, ordering a cocktail and chilling out! 🕶

Many times, the answers we are given are the most appropriate for the questions we ask.

Just ignore that morones and block them for the future. After a while you've filtered out all the idiots.

You're right. You do not belong to this group. Leave until you can🙏

I completely agree 💯. But the advice is good just have to get through the bull.

ignore what is of no value

I just read your previous post and it seems you got the correct answer in several options, but maybe you just want something you don't qualify for.

I agree that there are some pompous AH's on here and are experts on providing condescending comments and sparky responses.

I will say that I read your original post and there were numerous people trying to help you and when they asked you questions, you didn't reply.

You never answered where you were traveling from or what visa you had. Important information. Had you done so the responses may had been different.

Good luck.

Don't be offended, just be resilient.

Take things with a grain of salt .

It's ok.

You’ve been in this group under a month. Have posted one question (other than this) and seem surprised that out of 55,000 people there may be some people who are sarcastic.

Your other question sort of negates the comment here that you know the basics. I’ll skip over the part where you don’t expect to be treated like an idiot. I don’t know you so can’t say one way or the other.

Most come here to find answers about stuff about Thailand. Many regular posters and viewers here get tonnes of information. They are well aware that they may need to scroll past some of the negative or sarcastic comments to glean the right info but that’s the pros and cons of a site like this.

From a moderator point of view or even the sites owners one person who is pissed off isn’t really going to be of any interest to anyone.

Why would we change our style to fit around you? What about the other 55,000 people that seem to be ok with our style? Every single person in this group has the choice of staying or leaving.

I am incredibly disappointed with your negative post. Shall we both jump off a high tower, or do you think that life continues after breathing in and out a few times? 😳

Just hear to watch the comments 😃

I find that usually when people comment sarcastic or uh like she says. The original post is either dumb or could’ve been an easy search.

I'm incredibly happy and impressed by all the sarcastic and negative comments.

Bye

this isn't your grandma's dinner table, must be your first day on the internet. 🤷‍♂️

Get used to it. Most of the expats are burned out cynical far right conspiracy theory cheap Charlie racists with absolutely nothing to contribute to the debate other then trolling.

Let me guess, you're one of those individuals who've never heard of Google?

You book a trip first, give very little info on your nationality/passport status.

Then can't even do basic google...

I wonder why people are sarcastic, I wouldn't book a weekend holiday without checking the bare basics first.

There are some very knowledgeable and helpful people in this group. I’m very grateful for the advice I have received from them. Quite literally life changing advice. Of course there are the negative and sarcastic individuals here. What they post is more about them than you. Best to ignore unpleasant people. My tactic is to raise the bar by asking, “If you’re going to be sarcastic, you best be funny”, when I ask questions on Facebook. The results have been really enjoyable! Anyway, focus on the good people and best of luck to you, Julie.

As long as you allow for a few childish, sarcastic, comments. it won't bother you so much. In general, this is a excellent very useful group.

I find this place a mine of information and advice. Plan to move here and this group has insights and experiences of both good and bad. Yes there's some banter. If you don't like . Leave ?

.

2 things,

1. use the block function a lot.

2. Ask a sensible questions, remember we don't know anything about you and can't hear the conversation in your head 🤷‍♂️

Somebody needs a hug. And maybe a xanax

Hi Karen

Lighten up and don’t be a hypocrite. Most of these people are retired and have earned the right to quip a smart comment.

Such a shame as this and other Thai advice groups could be a mine of helpful information. The internet has provided a vehicle for the world's assholes to display just how childish adults can be.

As you've already found out few care what you think so either ignore, block or use google for your info.

You will always get someone with a smart sarcastic remark but thay goes for any group your on. Better to just scroll on by if you don't like the answer rather than getting upset by it.

😢

Maybe you should find a new group

Talk about negative...

Wait til you hear game chat rooms 😂

The truth will set you free Julie.

Once a group .. almost any group on FB gets very large, this is to be expected sadly. Keep in mind - there are actually more and perhaps better sources of information readily available for your informational needs on line. Jai yen yen Krap. 🤨

Yes , have seen a lot of help from smart ass’s . Maybe nothing better to do than enjoyed people.

Use the block function. The solution is literally at your fingertips.

That’s wonderful news, totally stoked for you.

As the group name states… And Everything Else

I find people incredibly helpful in here. And tolerant of stupid comments and questions. Having a sense of humour helps enormously.

Join the other group people are more professional there "thai visa advice"

Okay 👍

Hold on Julie, let me go find someone who cares.

It might take a while, please be patient.
