I do wonder why with so many of you obviously dis-liking the people and country so much, why you are still here?

My Wife lives here I like my Wife, I dont like Thai people in general ,I dont like Thai culture at all ,I dont like Thai religion or any for that matter, I do like Thai countryside when its not full of the crap they throw everywhere.

hey Im being honest

So should I go home as i dont like the people/culture but do like the countryside?

Obviously you're pissed of with it and I don't blame you. I would put on that in my rear view.

Get your act together and jog on.you only live once.

KILL HIM ON SIGHT, if he came back to the uk, all he would get would be life imprisonment, 3 nice meals a day, satellite tv, gym, the list goes on, a better life than a lot of O.A.Ps get in the U.K.

Put him in a pen with a load of staving pigs and let them eat him alive, this piece of scum is no Muslim.

Let's be honest. They are good.

Yes I guess Isaan properties would be the cheapest. And for beach, maybe in Chanthaburi , Sattahip etc. or some southern provinces which are low on tourist radar.

Good luck with Sattahip, the Navy owns almost all the land and not legally for sale in most cases

The owner of the company I work for has a piece of land with house for sale in that area. The property fronts the beach and had steps leading down to the sand.

I didn't ask how much though - it's way above my pay grade!

The reason i mentioned it, there was a bit of a scam going on a few years ago where people who had leased land from the navy where sellling the land on to other people around Sattahip and Ban Chang and obviously there where no chanotes for the purchasers as the land was the navys, the people sellling the land did the off with cash, i believe the navy did the right thing and set up some sort of legal leasehold for the new "owners" but no chanotes

My point around that area be careful what a person buys

Correct me if I am wrong, i was always under the impresssion, beachfront land belongs to the crown.

To the mafia you mean.

Sorry but in my experience don't listen to the banks when they say to a falang (we have nice property for you but it's reprocessed) trust me the old owners never think like this to them it will always be their property.

U should thank you're lucky stars.

The most over hyped act of this generation.

It seems to me that the guys who do well in relationships here are the ones who have had a terrible relationship back home, and the guys who come to Thailand meet a girl doesn't matter what background they are and drink and I mean (DRINK) abuse their partners and lose everything then moan and then start to slate everything thai are the ones that never really had a decent relationship before.

Please could you advise me on how to change username. Many thanks.

The only good remarks you will get are from people who have a vested interest in uber.trust me they are throwing money at this all over the world. Welcome to corporate America dont be fooled by their agenda.

thank you paul

i hope it does too,

we get on so well i sometimes think how lucky i am, to be 54 and as happy as i am,

i have one or 2 plans for the future if all goes well, there is a bit of land 10 rai very near our farm that i would like to buy, dig a big pond in the middle, put a few bungalows round it landscape it beautful and start a farmstay,

were people could come and stay there, but also come to the farm to see if it would be the life for them,

could come and spend a couple of weeks, just sit around the lake or get involved,have a couple of m/bikes to rent out, maybe even a car who knows,

but its something ill try,at the moment im jjst getting ready to go to angola tomorow for 57 days,ill do that for another 4 or 5 years, then hopefully fullfill my dream,#

thanks again

Bang on well said.

And I'm sort of right wing. What a mess.

And the working classes working for nothing.

Yes tourism numbers are down, but tourism is down all over the world. People's travel habits are changing, especially with so many people in countries where money has been hard to get. Sorry but have to say this but it's going to get worse. Welcome to big business running everything.

Apologies for extreme views, but I do love thailand. But I do think things are not going in the right direction. Saying that the rest of the world is going the same way.

Thai people always think there country is number 1.they are right.

Number 1. Sex.

Number 2. Drugs.

Number 3. Killings. What a shame for such a beautiful country.

God bless the deceased.

Depends what time you travel just because you only had 3 people at immigration does not mean its quite. When I came 2 weeks ago I waited nearly 2 hours never seen it so busy.

Sounds good to me and a step in the right direction....

You have got to give it to them, Thailand is really trying to pull itself into the 21st Century, with all that is going on.

All a marked improvement for Retirees like myself....
