TeakDoor

If you enjoy irony, have a good sese of humour and thick skin then you will enjoy it, better than Bournemouth.

10-15 years ago Teakdoor offered a genuine alternative to the other main Thai expat forum with detailed posts on the country, travel, construction, farming etc; now rare to find any actual Thai content as few of the regular posters live in the country or have ever visited, and more often it's Brexit, Trump, conspiracy theories etc rants.
With less than 20 core regular posters in their own little factions there's nothing of interest here other than from a psych study point of view.
The former members have either left voluntarily or been bullied away - which is the standard 'go to' from the 'hardcore' members who demonstrate their anal fixations (the #1 response to anyone who dares disagree is to resort to anal sex and masturbation innuendo) and a peculiar and unhealthy interest in members' partners and children - go figure.
There's a lot of obvious frustration there from a group of life's failures.

If you are into bullying and heaps of personal abuse this is the place for you. If you are looking for a decent discussion, unbiased information or a bit of a laugh stay well away. Run by a nasty clique who will probably gang up on you and get you chased off or banned. Was OK when the original owner ran it, sadly he died years ago.

This site seems to exist on the input of perhaps a dozen people split into two factions that constantly abuse, ridicule and demean each other over any expressed opinion whether it be factual or fatuitous. A remarkable characteristic of many seems to be that they have lived lives long or short as global nomads who have acquired massive knowledge about all and every facet of life. Via frantic googling to support the intended impression! Most comment lacks any debate of topic and rapidly descends into crude abuses of any attempt.
Aspiring new "members" must submit 50 posts subject to a moderators "approval" before being permitted to post freely. Should any of those initial posts contain contradictory content the "membership" is swiftly curtailed by way of eliminating recognition of valid login credentials.
What may have originated as a promising forum presents now as nothing more than a publically observable private venue for a select cluster of inadequate anti socials to vent.
Sadly it has joined the ranks of another high profile forum site in that it for whatever reason abandoned original purpose.
As put in a previous review" "how dare anyone come here and disrupt our little bubble of intelligence-lacking mumpsimus cackling?"

This is a forum that claims to be a hardcore version of Thaivisa Forum. It isn't. It's a place where mummified Thai expats get together and cuddle over mutual beliefs and perceived misconceptions. If you pop their bubble, they will team up against you. Providing facts is an absolute no-no. The typical Teakdoorist is a scared intellectually incapacitated individual who refuses to accept factual truths. If you provide facts you are an idiot because it disrupts their perception of the world.

If you are a Thai expat living in the rural areas of Isaan, most likely without education and intellectual overview, this is the place for you. You will love the absence of real-life analysis and fact-based debate. He**, if you fit in with the clientele on this forum you might even want to eat dog turds.

Make no mistake, this is a centre for unintelligent alcoholics, paedophiles and $#*!ed $#*!wits. They congregate in this digital temple in order to masturbate over their incorrect worldly beliefs in hope that it'll make up for the misfortunate lives that resulted in them getting stuck in Thailand with no chance of living a decent life inside the boundaries of normal society.

A majority of these dipwhits are expelled by their own families and have nothing to look forward to but a slow life in poverty, for the simple truth that not a single person at home wants them to return home. Think of them as the kind of persons that will eventually die without anyone being bothered. With a little luck, they haven't had time to produce an offspring.

As the paedophiles they are, they will pay particular interest to your children, attack them verbally and figuratively with the approval of the moderators who are more than likely thinking in terms of "how dare anyone come here and disrupt our little bubble of intelligence-lacking mumpsimus cackling?"

My advice is:
If you're up for a fact-based debate, this is not the place. If you seek paedophile $#*!tard approval of gob$#*!e and lack of knowledge - go for it!

The main members are like rats scuttling around a dark sh*thouse ambushing anyone trying to take an innocent look. Lurking in the putrid urine corroded shadows, they appear as appirations to new members who at first won't believe they're for real. Not long after, these spirits come and physically haunt these poor newbies until they flee, wondering what the f*cks going on, finding sanctuary elsewhere.

Great website forum for food fantasists that are prepared to stick two fingers up to the heavily moderated Facebook's rate my plate.
If you want a forum that's no holes barred excuse the pun then Teakdoor is the place for you.
So drop in and vent your spleen but make sure you have a thick skin first.
It helps if you've holidayed in Bournemouth, Pattaya or Mai Arse. If you have an interest in goats, pies and nutty Thais then this is your safe space.
