Udon Thani the Farangs Graveyard

[Prenders88]

From Stickmans Guide to Bangkok March 8th 2009.

"It is hard to say if there are more Westerners resident in Nakhon Phanom now than on my last visit, but for sure there seemed to be more around. Typical of Isaan, most were aged 50 up and many had that same sunken, almost desolate look that I saw amongst the Western residents of Udon. It's like they're at the end of the line and they know it."

Do you think you've reached the end of the line?
Do you know it?

I'll have to look in Boots or Watsons and ask for some Nivea for Men, Sunken Desolate Look Mositurizer. LOL!!

[Astana]

Yes, absolutely Mr. Stickman... Please stay away from the Udonthani farang walking dead.

So we can get on with our lives not have think about a jerk cheese like you, whose articles are by and large stereotypically on a permanent barbituate, down at heal trawl of the undergrowth you live in.

[Juan Kosoff]

I think your wrong mr Dickman it looks like you touched a nerve.

[beer monkey]

Ok who has the 'sunken' look ....c'mon c'mon who are you...?

[Wisdom]

I think stickman is basically being, ageist! Oh, and stupid. What is he saying? That many in Udon are 50 plus. Well, what a crime that is. What is this with the 'sunken desolate look'! What is he on about! Udon i would suggest, being quietier and far cheaper than Bangkok, Phuket and the like, is bound to attract an older farang in retirement. But i would suggest looking around here in London suburbs is in the cold grey wet miserable crowded place, if any over 50's are going to have 'sunken desolate' looks, it'd be here! But i don't see it here, never seen it in my trips to Udon. One day stickman'll be over 50, maybe he already is, lets hope he looks in the mirror, and he may have a sunken desolate face looking back, ahhhh, poor poor stickman! What a prat!

Yes and yes!

Nivea for Men, Sunken Desolate Look Mositurizer.

You could be onto a good thing there... Get together with one of those OTOP ladies that sell the cosmetics and re-label some moisturiser. A sure fire winner. What is the number of the patent office?

Irish Alan looking Sunken, desolate and in need of moisturiser.

Thought he would be an Eastbourne Borough fan ....... or at least Brighton and Hove Albion

[Astana]

So all agreed then... Stickman can go freck himself and all us ole boys can toddle of to Eastbourne by the Mekong for a nice cuppa and a soggy biscuit.

[stattointhailand]

You bring the tea, an' i'll bring the 'arf a packet of digestives from me larder

[mortiboy]

so I take it The" Stickman" is not popular? ..........
and who keeps feeding you lads with the so boring so long posts?

[rick]

So, I could retire to the Costa Geriatrica in Sussex, with my tea and biscuits and wait for the children to visit, like my parents did 25 years ago. Of course, might be able to afford a pub lunch once a month.

Or, Udon. Double the sunshine, half the price, and womem under 60 still look at you as partners (whatever the terms). Ok, I'll go book the ticket. I'm sure the Stickman's of Bangkok will have taken the dive off of the bridge into the Chao Phraya river long before most of us shuffle off.

Well i suppose stickman fed the post in a way with his stupid comments! As for boring, i think most of the replies quite funny! And the posts not too long. There is one post on the subject, that is a bit boring, but, i'm just too polite to say whose.......

[beer monkey]

i think most of the replies quite funny!

Part of the fabric of our forum hardly a dull moment,and thats what makes it so good.

[Brian Davis]

The expression 'you're as old as you feel' springs to mind. I still TRY and kick a ball about or play volley with the village locals - then return home for a cup of tea and biscuits.

[old-timer]

a game of bingo anyone..

yes please - bingo by the mekong - can't get any better than that
