oh really??? just Brits and Aussies?!?!?!?

for extremely odious and increasingly obvious reasons,i wouldn't return to Amerikkka for a million dollars...   (gawd, do NOT let the Universe make me eat those words hahahaha) 

for me, (and anyone with any sense and understanding and basic empathy), the WORST day here in Thailand is better than the BEST day in the USA-

of course, i speak the language, understand and appreciate and observe the culture,

am loved and protected and respected by my neighborhood especially and by the entire

island generally  (the Thais, that is; many of the farangs here are  jealous of me because they DON'T speak the language or understand the culture, and they resent the fact that i am invited and encouraged to hang out with Thais and don't frequent haunts populated by groups of clueless expats)

As long as you are fluent in the language;  and have

such an understanding of the Thai culture, you do

realize you, will always 

be considered an outsider and

talked about behind your back.

Seems to me there's other scenarios, person by person.

 

I got posted here over 35 years ago, good job and within 5 years I got an offer to jump to a much higher position, same industry, great job challenges, great company, great work satisfaction. Now in my early seventies.

 

I met the love of my life not long after I arrived here (Thai lady, doctor of medicine, spoke advanced English, wonderful lady full of fun & caring, wrote books, worldly, contributed a lot to the community) and we developed a great relationship. She's since passed away.

 

Today I live with my Thai son (only child) and his wonderful Thai wife (both professors) and their 3 kids. My son and his wife devote most of their time to their kids, family events, family activities together and helping less fortunate folks. And they make sure I'm happy and contented.

 

My son is my best buddy in life. Son, wife and 3 kids all speak Thai (me too) and the kids are learning Chinese and Japanese. Our language at home is 100% English.

I need nothing more, desire nothing more, no reason in the world to think about moving anywhere.

 

Thailand is where my family is, I'm very happy, I'm home.

Really enjoyed your post....You reallly are fortunate.   I too

have a wonderful family and as I age I appreciate all we do

together.   Life is great!!

More quality U.K. Tourists!!

Soooo ;  Who's leaving??

the college You graduated from Should provide you

a copy of your transcript....usually £30 fee.

Thailand is all about money...They DO own

the country.....Pure scumbags.

Or, for those in favor of not shooting intruders to death but only prevent them from attacking you or the family, about 50 cm below the hearth.

Intruder IN your house....shoot to kill!!

Perhaps within their rights to charge

that excessive amount, however I would

never stay at a place that tries to nickel 

and dime you to death!!

Good for the daughter and her iron....Always shoot to kill !!

They sure did manage to get a lot of people to give up wine and cigars.....(beef and cheese, too)...89 THB for a 1.25 oz can of shave foam?  about 1500% more than the US.

Why would anyone waste money on shaving cream,foam. Just lather with

a bar of soap.....
