  1. They will build the same as they are the poorest country in the world outside of Africa and since much of the money donated will go through the gov. it will not go towards building proper homes or helping the people. After spending lots of time in Nepal and in Thailand it is amazing how far Thailand has come and how little the Nepalese have grown as a country. People can criticize Thailand for its corruption but it is no where as bad as Nepals. There are lots of reasons but seeing how you can't get anything done here in Thailand on your own home or property without huge headaches it is strange to watch how messed up it is in Nepal.

  2. I put thisin my facebook.

    My wife and I came out of Nepal just 18 hours before the quake hit. I have been going there for some 30 years now and I can tell you directly that you couldn't find, in the world, a more loving group of people as the Nepalese. There is little serious crime in Nepal because of the unity they feel towards each other and outsiders as well but unfortunately they have had terrible kings and politicians steal everything from them over the years and left them with a country, much of which looked trashed even before the earthquake hit. Make sure that the charity you choose has nothing to do with the Nepalese government and you will be helping these people in a big, big way. They truly could use your help!

  3. I made a few kind of smart ass comments yesterday but I thought I should give you some good advice.

    1st - If you are marriied to a non Thai and you are not sure she can handle a third world country, don;t move here. There are just better places to retire that are more normal than Thailand. Also most of your choices for a place to stay are littered with prositutes and most foreign woman don't want to see that everyday they go out.

    2nd -- If you are not married don't move here because there are better places to move to with the kind of money you have to spend. Keep looking, like south america. some great places there and the language is just a whole lot easier to learn. More savvy expats and you can actually own your own stuff there and the visas are much easier to get and the girls are better in general.

    I don't know why anyone would come live here unless they have a Thai wife who has been tested true through the years or is into heavy playing around near the oceans. Again south america has a better selections of beaches and girls with real faces and bodies to play with and the music and the cost of alcohol and wine and cheese.Oh well.. The only reason I am here.and I have been here over 20 years is because I have a great wife and she has a great family or at least most of them are.and we live in a quiet part of central Thailand where there is nothing much to do and we see few foreigners unless we go into town. Some people just wuldn't like that.

    Good luck.
