Buffalo me die! Send Money!
So, you live in Thailand for 6 years you say and yet you seem to be surprised that you admit you assaulted your BF in front of other Thai's and then assaulted another Thai who jumped up to help him - all in front of those other same Thai's and yet strangely you say you're somehow surprised that then proceeded to beat the shit out of you - hmmm and you claim to be surprised by that fact ?
So, six years you're living there you say eh......hmmmm "okay" if you say so, you mustn't have met many Thai's or experienced their behaviour if a farang starts beating up on a Thai or heard much about the whole face thing either then much I guess too in that time I guess.... oh well, you certainly know now eh.
Hear. hear !
While reading WHPH's opening statement, I thought that he is more likely to be S E Asean rather than Canadian. While the US tries to intimidate Canada over language and other things, I respect Candians for not following the USian dialect and for using standard English - they even spell 'Z' as Zed, not Zee.
WHPH's story did not meet many of these parameters.

I never said i assaulted him... i did push him back (i wouldnt even call this a push but more like i took the hand that he was trying to push/hit me with and push it away) and tried to calm him down with words. I know about the whole face thing and as i said before i would never hit or touch anyone especially not my own boyfriend. 1st well because indeed the whole face thing is a huge thing here in Thailand but also when i started doing martial art years ago the first thing we learned is to never put our hands on someone out of the gym. The whole budddhism concept is based on the understanding of respect and it is something that i take seriously.
They havent beat the shit out of me but they did jump me. I am quite lucky that none of them knew how to threw a punch or a kick properly or else indeed it could of been worst. As i said above the thing that hurted me the most werent the kicks or the punchs or the bottles that i have received but more the look on my boyfriend (ex should i say) face when he was telling them to keep going on. I am not surprised that they were 10 on me, it is a typical thing in Thailand. It is a well known documented fact that they cannot fight or do a 1v1 fairly. It wasnt even in my intention to fight that night.
I was not even suppose to be there. For those that know the north side of the country, I was actually in downtown Chiang Mai and my boyfriend was suppose to join me there at 10;00pm. He then proceed to tell me at 10:00pm that he could not come because his mother would not let him. So then i asked him if he would like for me to go there (He lives in Doi Saket around 15-20km from downtown) and he said yes. In my mind i just thought it would make him happy if i go there. But then once there, i realized (i least, i strongly suspected) that his mother story was bullshit and he did not come because he was too drunk and was having fun with his friends.
Indeed it might sound dumb asking that. The reason why i posted and was asking was because that night i could see he really was not himself. The look in his face and the way he handled himself, he was just so different from the person i was with for the last 7 months. It is crazy what whisky or any other kind of liquors can do to someone.
Thanks you. If you could it would be appreciated. I am not posting or responding alot but i do read articles/forum posts on a weekly basis. (one of the reason is because i know i have a poor english)
Alot of alcohol.
It might but i live in Salaya (near Bangkok) and he is in Chiang Mai (Doi Saket). Around 360 miles away. I have to admit it is still difficult to not take a look at his social medias from time to time which is why i was suggesting that. Maybe a trip to Pattaya could do the trick? lol
Thanks for your post. I used to teach when i first came here in 2010-2011. I absolutely enjoyed it and had great times but unfortunately the salary did not meet what i was aiming for. For the past 3 years i am working online. To be honest (i might receive some criticism but it is justified) it did happened before when i was looking at, lets say, a 18 years old boy with a 60 years old man and was telling myself: Wow does he really think the boy really loves him?. Now i understand that it is not necessarly an age thing (even though i guess it play a part) but more like a farang/thai money thing.
Anyway thanks for those that gave me helpful advices. As for those that call me a fool well you can think what you want it is not like you know me. I think we all make mistakes and this definitly was one. If i was a fool i would not be here making a living and providing myself for almost the last 6 years. So let me guess, you guys never made a mistake in your life and are perfect creatures in this living world, right?
So even though you know not to raise your arm to a Thai and even being a martial arts exponent, you are still able to beat off 10 guys (really? 10 angry Thai guys?) out to attack you despite kicks, punches and bottles being thrown! Wow! Well done! You should go and be a stuntman in Hollywood or the famous Shaw Studios in Kuala Lumpur founded by the famous Run Me Shaw (the brother of Sir Run Run Shaw). You’d earn a vast amount more than living in Thailand. LOL
He’s been your boyfriend for 7 months and you are not aware that the fastest route to Doi Saket is actually 28 kms away. Quite a difference! But whilst on this point –
Now this I do find odd. How do you measure distance – in miles or kms? I know in Canada it is not uncommon to use kms for distance but also often mpg when filling the tank. But Canadians I know are always consistent – distance as on road signs are in kms. How come you you use both measurements for distance?
Curious. What did you teach at age 22 or 23? Because your written English is not good as you yourself have pointed out -
Very few very young farang here teach anything other than English.
Odd I have never seen Thais drink anything other than beer or whiskey. Obviously I do not look closely enough to see the other liquors.
I have not commented up to now because on another board I once called someone a troll who turned out not to be, and once on this forum held back from a similar call - but he then turned out to be a troll. One point about trolls, in my experience, is the massive amount of detail they throw into seemingly innocuous posts. Sglad was just the latest – and he was found out because despite the detail it was all fiction and he could not come up with facts when pressed. And you, workhardplayhard, certainly appear to live up to that standard!
As suggested earlier, give up! (the boyfriend, that is )

You didn't make any mistake, Unfortunately shit happened sometimes in life and you made the right decision by stopping the relationship with this boy.
I am curious to know : did the boy had a job ? Did you support him/his family financially? Did the boy share with you the daily costs or you have had to pay for everything?
By the way don't be offended by those members that called you a troll or think that your story is a fake they're just disgruntled persons that nobody will go with them unless they are paying them for the sex.miserable ,cynical and lonely persons that geulous you for beeing young, loyal and nice person.
Be strong and move on with your life .

What an idiotic comment! I don't pay for sex, I am in no senses other than happy, I have friends in several parts of Asia and the rest of the world, I travel far more and far more often to far more exciting places than I am absolutely certain you do. I accept, though, I can sometimes be cynical. As for you, you are entitled to your opinions. But do not morph your own bitter and twisted views on to others! After all, didn't you write earlier -
And for your information, that last sentence is not true - if the love is true and both parties really care about each other!

Well...us Canadians are a quirky bunch. We've had the metric system for so long, I barely remember our old imperial ways. Any yet, when I'm at the deli I'm buying a pound of this and a half pound of that. I have no idea what 100 grams looks like, even though that's one of the signs under the counter. When I drive, I make sure I'm not going over 100 km / hour, but when I'm driving somewhere I estimate the distance in miles. Maybe it's because the imperial system is etched in my upbringing, or maybe it's because imperial unit sizes make more sense to humans? Or...maybe we Canadians are just a quirky bunch...lol
