    is that because the of the people misbehaving or just because of lack of modern living?

    Chiang Mai has a small but increasing slice which has any foreigners at all. It's a massive sprawling city and in most areas you'll see no foreigners, maybe once every few days. Sure since boomers started retiring and lots of YouTube videos made I think some areas are tourists ghettos these days but that's easy to avoid. Sad though those places got wrecked by tourism.

    the real joke of rural Thailand is that the people are terrors to live around. Noisy, burning things, trash everywhere, being stupid and drunk. It kind of defeats the purpose of living in a scenic area when the people do so much to ruin it.

    he's in a phase and made a social media business out of it. He'll back down to earth eventually I presume.

    Thai's don't give a damn about dogs. They let them breed, become diseased, live pathetic lives then die in misery on the streets. Thai people are indifferent to their suffering. Given how Thai's walk around with sticks to defend themselves from dogs I feel like they don't know they have control over the dogs and so the problem is out of their hands. It's pathetic and I have no idea what goes on in their heads with dogs.

    I didn't know that. Still makes no sense why you want random Thai people "looking" for work in Europe without any path to get a proper visa. They're just going to overstay and not go home if you make this easy for them, maybe the EU wants more slow wage labor to drive down the cost of hiring native Europeans.

    OMG seriously? That's so cruel of them and for what? pathetic.

    Small number and their tourism dollars will be negated by Thai's coming to work illegally. Those seeking employment??? this is for tourists not so a Thai can come and work. No idea what you're getting at here.
  9. NorthernRyland
    sure but this is a one time investment which lets them get in and then go illegal where they can work for years and send money back home (no taxes even!). tons of people doing that in America and that's what the Thai's will be doing if they get visa free travel. This is in fact the primary concern and why they need to be kept out unless they're actually tourists which plan to go home.

    Same in the US. I would have serious costs and time spent to get my Thai wife to America but peasants and gang members from South America can literally just step over the border and get released into the country. In my home state of Colorado they're facilitating them to find housing and food at tax payer expense. Bunch of god damned traitors.

    Cheap airfare to Japan is a big reason for this I think. A trip to Tokyo from BKK is $300 vs $1200 to get to Hamburg. Thai people can afford that? If they got 100k Thais per year I would be impressed.
  12. NorthernRyland
    What does EU gain from this arrangement? Flight risk is high with Thai's and only a small percent could afford to travel in Europe anyways.
  13. NorthernRyland
    I never learned to type Thai so respect to you for trying. There's so many characters it's just mental.

    I have very limited experience with only cheap condos so maybe the higher end solves this. In general though I have noise problems in Thailand for all sorts of reasons so I'm always very careful to chose where I live. Condos are just too risky for me to think about purchasing even if I wanted to live in one.

    exploding would be bad. 🙂 I think they're even on cheap composite wood racks. Even so lots of other things that could catch fire like a sofa. They don't take direct sunlight but I think it would be impossible to reach 50c, anywhere in Thailand out of direct sunlight for that matter.

    I disagree, they know it's wrong but they do it because it's easy and they don't care if they live around trash like we do. If trash pickup was a new concept they never thought of before then sure they can be educated about this new idea but that's obviously not the case. As said over and over again they simply take no pride in their surroundings.
  17. NorthernRyland
    noise and disruptions. Maybe I shouldn't be talking because I just don't want to live that close to people anyways but I have lived in condos and the problems are even worse than houses. Having said that burning is a problem for me in Thailand and condos don't have this problem. Otherwise all the noise problems I have with Thai people are worse the more dense things get.
  18. NorthernRyland
    I've had so many problems, but not in condos actually so it's more of a Thailand thing. Condos are even more risky because you control even that less of your space.
  19. NorthernRyland
    you can't "educate" a person who has no regard for others or their environment. Maybe brainwashing would work but certainly no education.
  20. NorthernRyland
    it's terrible where I live. You can go one meter without seeing plastic on the side of the road. People in the backs of pickups eat and throw all the trash over the side. Pathetic behavior and it's depressing to look at.
  21. NorthernRyland
    I would never dream.There's a million condos everywhere and you can move whenever you get bad neighbors. In floating sky boxes you have zero control over your surroundings and so many things can go wrong.

    I have some gas cans for lighters in my house. They say max temp of 50c but maybe the heat wave is enough to ignite them?
  23. NorthernRyland
    what outcome did you expect? 0 baht fee and please stay for the next 10 years free of charge on us?
  24. NorthernRyland
    You can't post 1 star reviews if you're dead. Check. Mate.

    They didn't care about the legality of the property until they had a chance to get their dirty hands on it. Greedy swine.
