I live in China and have a Chinese wife. I can assure you that I pay laowai (foreigner) prices if it's known there is a foreigner in the household.

Nice to hear you mention that you have met some decent we'll meaning people in Hua Hin Johan.... there are quite a number of them - and not hard to find :D :D

Johan,

You are dong your job well. Has everyone forgotten that on another thread Johan admitted he was a troll and that his goal was to start controversial topics to get people to post?

Johan is the most successful troll I've ever come across. After his starting post on this thread there are already five pages of follow up posts in only 36 hours.

He really knows how to get under everyone's skin! :lach:
My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

When I go to buy anything in Tunisia I stress that I am a resident and not a tourist, so if their first price is WAY over the top I will walk away. I expect them to start high just as I am expected to start low, we meet in the middle and everyone is happy.

My record was 100 pages in a day in another forum and i wasn't there, i was banned and people were talking about me... it was funny to see how people like to loss their time with stupid things. The topic was closed by admins because people never stopped to feed the troll.

I know what i'm posting and i also know how people will react, the best example is "ImThai" who only read the bad things and post again and again.

People think sometimes i'm like this outside the internet too, on the forums everything is missinterpreted, forums are just a game, in fact in real life i don't talk too much, i prefer to listen.

Someone can explain to "ImThai" the way this works ? I think he's raising an army to attack me :mrgreen:

You should relax, don't feel offensed for some posts on a forum... I think you are a girl, very excited to be in the arena with the beasts :alien:

Well if that's the case, I've been hooked in.... :oops: :oops: I guess I just don't really fathom this whole ''troll'' thing and probably never will.

Anyway if so Yohan, ultimately you're more of a pr*ck than I thought. What is it, game on - upset any bugger, Thais included? And this from the safety of an armchair. Sad, very, very sad really.

That's it for me anyway, don't want to be accused of ''feeding the trolls''........ :run:

Do people get upset about posts on forums ? Really ? I doubt... And i don't talk bad about anyone on here, no names, no personnal attacks, nothing. I'm just saying some people should think twice before make an absurd price quote and cry because i found another service cheaper for the same (and the other service is from thai people also). So you really think i'm shitting on thai ? I'm not, i'm shitting on people who try to shit on me first. All the good services i had found came from thai people too.

Do i need to clarify everything ? Can't you think by yourself ? I have no problems with thai people, i have 20 thai friends for each farang friend. They also think like me, i ask them what they think about this service or this price first, they all said people are trying to rob me. They would never pay prices like that.

You can ask to ImThai if she would pay double pricing for her swimming pool if all her friends had to pay only half of the price. If yes then she's really not smart or have a rich men who will pay everything for her, and again, as a wife of a farang she should help him to get the best price possible on everything.

I live in China and have a Chinese wife. I can assure you that I pay laowai (foreigner) prices if it's known there is a foreigner in the household.

Nice to hear you mention that you have met some decent we'll meaning people in Hua Hin Johan.... there are quite a number of them - and not hard to find :D :D

What baffles me is you say that your wife is Thai. So why on earth did you not send her to negotiate all your deals? I read from another forum member, a different subject, that he ( farang) walks behind his wife in the market place and keeps out of sight when buying things. Maybe as your wife speaks Thai she could have been maybe a little more tactful than you were. :?

Et voilà!! :banghead: Nothing like making a rod for your own back Yohan :roll:

ImThai,

I am writing this as a fellow Forum member, not a moderator. Please calm down, Johan is playing you, and is feeding off your responses - it's all a game to him. Please just step back and count to 10 - don't react immediately.

Flaming is against Forum T&Cs, and if you continue down this road, action will have to be taken.

This is not nice. If you can't be civilized please don't talk to me. Make your point nicely or shut up.

@Siani : My wife believes the more she pay the best she looks. I found an iPhone 4 for 23 808 bahts from the Apple shop but she wanted to pay MORE THAN 30 000 bahts because 23 808 is too cheap. So she asked for lots of option to reach the 30 000 bahts bill. I would never ask her to negociate ANYTHING, i'm the one who talk about money when dealing. She just can buy cloths alone without me or stuff like that, but for the home, the car, the boat or whatever i will negociate.

@Poosmate : Thanks, i try to write well but i can't speak like i'm writing, in fact i met some members of the forum and they have lots of difficulties to understand me. The least i can do is to do my best at writing and i know i still make lots of mistakes. I also don't understand every word you guys are typing and i need to use Google to search them.
