What is their problem?

[christianpfc]

A little rant. Why can't they give a direct answer? My oldest friend from Sri Racha - I ask are you definitely coming to Pattaya for my birthday? Will you come with me to Khon Kaen?

My newer friend, from Laos but living in Pattaya a few years - when do you want to go out for dinner? (I know he doesn't like going to Sunee). What would you like to drink when you come to my room?

All these are simple questions, in my head. Is it any wonder I sometimes just want to go and have a few glasses of wine on my own?

Rant over.

When I go for a few drinks "on my own" I will usually have a waiter sit with me, and buy his drinks. But it's uncomplicated.

Most Thais can only thinks as far as where their next meal comes from.

Asking about events one week ahead is the equivalent of planning your 2021 birthday party now and sending out invitations and asking for confirmation of attendance.

"Are you definitely coming..." the word "definitely" does not exist in Thai language, but there are dozens of variations of "maybe" (I made this up).

As I said before:
arranging to meet someone I already know again can be as difficult as meeting someone new.
One of the reasons for my promiscuity.
