  1. People in Pattaya have to be friendly, that is their job!!
  2. Personally I would put Vietnam number one
  3. First time I came to Thailand was 1990. Loved permanently 14 years
  4. Expat strangers are down right rude, thank god for their wives and girlfriends.
  5. Absolutely spot on, where I live it is exactly the same
  6. 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
  7. It is called culture, Americans are brash, Thais reserved
  8. Too boring to read such a long post. I could have died by the time I had finished reading it😂😂
  9. Disagree, where I live the Thai smile is just the same
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. I know someone who was also claiming winter fuel entitlement, until he got found out
  13. Waste of time, one of the reasons ladies don't wear helmets is that it messes up their hair
  14. Far better than Philippine's teaching English in Thailand which is the way it is going
  15. International is what it really is called nowadays
  16. 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.
  17. Pay tax in my own country and pay VAT in my own country
  18. They will not release from PO, have to go and pay first
  19. Double taxed, double VAT. GREAT
  20. 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
  21. 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
  22. I know quite a few Brits who are on the fiddle living in Thailand regarding their state pensions
