Ignorance on Soi 102
Well folks some of you on this site may see me on here from time to time. Lived in Thailand for 10 years now 6 of which where in HH and I don't often post things on this site as I am more of a reader but today I felt compelled to write.
My most enjoyable 10 years of living in the LOS was today upset by the rudeness and arrogance of a farang starting a new fitness business on soi 102. For the sake of the moderators no names are mentioned. My wife and I decided to stop on the way home from town and order some take out at a new pizza joint which has just opened on Soi 102 adjacent to a new fitness centre. We got off the bike ordered our pizza (which by the way was very good) I them stepped out side for a smoke at which time I was asked to leave the the property of the pizza establishment by the farang owner of the adjacent fitness centre. Now don't get me wrong here I respect anyone that doesn't want me to smoke near them and will gladly but out or move away if asked politely but this gentleman's manners I'll have to say where purely rude and hostile. Rude enough to the point he had tones in his body language of fiscal confrontation. The sort you might say that's looking for a fight.
I find it strange that a person starting a new business here in town could be so ignorant? I would think starting a new business one would be a kind individual to attract business. I've seen so many of these types come and go.
So if you happen to be traveling up Soi 102 and your car or truck is blowing a little to much smoke or you happen to pass wind (fart) or flick your cigarette out the window at the wrong time. Be careful you may have an irate hole farang on your hands. Rant finished

Why is it called 'after dark' when it really is 'after light'?

It’s none of my business what people say and think of me. I am what I am and do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. It makes life so much easier.

Re: Ignorance on Soi 102
I know the manager of the fitness gym,he's a good guy,and i'm sorry you were upset by his actions,i doubt he intentionally wanted to use any physical intimidation,in fact he is a very calm guy,and probably didnt get the message across to you in the appropriate manne.
I have been training with him back when he was at sam roi yod and have lost afew kilos doing a boot camp workout,hopefully it will fix my sore shoulders so i can get back to the golf course as well.

Well jingjoe.......I guess you got to see the good side of him. My impression is he was either having a bad day or he's just an every day azz! My wife who does not approve of me smoking and pretty much loves everyone left with the same impression.

Re: Ignorance on Soi 102
Whaa Whaa Whaa. What a crybaby! You are a typical, narcissistic, drug addict. And there is nothing worse than taking your drug away from you... so you seek revenge, like a coward. Someone please contact the owner of this business, so we can get his side of the story. Just take a deep breath, Hobiecat, relax, and go back to memorizing your 9-11 propaganda, so you have something to talk about today.
Re: Ignorance on Soi 102
I don`t know th OP nor the gym owner so I cannot express an opinion on this particular matter. However, some fitness afficionados and body builders do use steroids. Steroids can give a short fuse and a hot temper.

Rather than asking about nationality ask about social background and level of education. There are stupid people and bullies everywhere.centermid7 wrote:Why is this important?richard wrote:Nationality?

Re: Ignorance on Soi 102
Phuck him, the OP was not on his property. What next from gym boy, a demand not to smoke on the beach?

I agree with you 100%. In fact, I might just pop along for a nice few smokes myself if I have the time or inclination.
I am bloody sick of the anti this and anti that brigade. I can't smoke, but the next fool can cruise around in his or her big 3.0 liter SUV which causes more pollution in 2 seconds than my cigarettes do in a year.

Drug addict? You've obviously experienced a very sheltered and boring life.
I'm not trying to be funny, but it seems you are the one that needs to relax.
Of course if you're in perfect physical shape, and you don't use or consume any addictive commodities, including cigarettes, alcohol, tea, coffee, sugar and etc, then I do understand how and why you would feel apathy towards the minority of people who aren't perfect.
