@John *******

you are a sad man. Insinuating being on fb is some negative thing. 😆 Sorry to have made your butt hurt. I do spend a lot of time on fb running multiple facebook groups in two countries. You're right, I'm wasting my time due to being such a wanker. Thanks for sorting me out. Cheers, mate!

@John *******

oh, did I touch a nerve? Thanks for teaching me what's my concern...online. You're a clever little gem! Says the guy with no profile photo and 11 friends. Ok, give me a minute. Let me get a pen. Got anymore valuable insight?

@John *******

and your fucking point? Stop trying to bait people online. It's pathetic.

@John *******

If you don't know what your doing as an expat, Thailand will show you red flags on its own. I am not going to argue this with you. Apparently you're still in your honeymoon period so your perspective debunks the validity of your agreesion towards me...online. I'm just trying to help people while it seems your looking for a target.

Here's my take, thinking you need an agent is a red flag for the whole move. Not being a troll. First arrived in 2010. I'm trying to save you some trouble. These answers would not even need to be born form a question if you wanted or had a leg up on this new adventure of yours. Thailand sorts a lot out that becomes shocking to many and the inevitable eventually is not a pretty story with a happy ending. Be savvy enough in advance before even thinking of buying the ticket. This place chews everything up and spits something new back out, for everyone. Thailand either changes, or in random cases, already matches your DNA. If you're not ready for that, stay where you are. People die here for being naive and well intended.

We now live in the day and age when people that can travel don't know how and most likely should not. We live in a time when said travelers seek help from the online nanny community currently present in our modern society, to do what? Ask advice on how to barter in an Asian street market. Sorry. If that's a question someone thinks is suited for an online question, they should turn in thier passport and head home.

@Jeff *******

that's pure gold

Just have the courage and be polite. Not a kiss ass, but genuinely polite. That's a good start.
