    Absolutely spot on, where I live it is exactly the same

    I think it all depends on what circle of friends you live within Thailand. The place where are I live it is mostly just one happy family. Usually on a Friday night we meet up, expats, wives, girlfriends. Lot of food and drink flowing and everyone enjoying themselves. If I were to meet them in a supermarket with or without their partners, they stop and smile, have a chat and move on. Any newbies would be made welcome

    It is called culture, Americans are brash, Thais reserved

    Too boring to read such a long post. I could have died by the time I had finished reading it😂😂

    Disagree, where I live the Thai smile is just the same
  6. Expat68
    Personally I find expats not very friendly (I always say hello or morning when I pass by strangers) but their girlfriends or wives are just the same

    No idea I have lived in Thailand 13 years, never been back. Just someone I know who continued to get pension increases and also got winter fuel allowance until he got found out

    I know someone who was also claiming winter fuel entitlement, until he got found out

    Waste of time, one of the reasons ladies don't wear helmets is that it messes up their hair

    Far better than Philippine's teaching English in Thailand which is the way it is going

    International is what it really is called nowadays
  12. Expat68
    There are not many people who actually speak true English. I think I read sometime ago that Oxford and Cambridge are the perfect English language.

    Pay tax in my own country and pay VAT in my own country
  14. Expat68
    No

    They will not release from PO, have to go and pay first
  16. Expat68
    Double taxed, double VAT. GREAT

    The problem is the NHS is free(ISH) people coming into the UK who have not contributed, is a drain, does not take much working out
  18. Expat68
    Good question. I know for a fact that if you have a rented property in the UK you have to fill out a form and inform the inland revenue, they have people who go round visiting every agent who have to give them a list of who is on their books

    I know quite a few Brits who are on the fiddle living in Thailand regarding their state pensions
  20. Expat68
    Not really. Life is now, tomorrow never comes

    Throughout the world it is the way dogs are brought up/cared for, I speak from experience having had my own dog grooming business
  22. Expat68
    Personally I think it is when the owner is close by
  23. Expat68
    Never had it that bad riding my bicycle!! Friend of mine prepares a little food in a bag and just throws it on the ground, eventually they get used to you. I personally shout at the dog in a loud voice
  24. Expat68
    What do you need to take. Can you post it to them?

    I live in Issaan and was told by another Thai that people from Bangkok are buying land, which is forcing the price up
