I nearly stopped reading when you mentioned a "housing estate" . I have been to Phuket several times , the first time was just before the sunami, I was only there for a week and was not overly impressed. Some years later I went to help with translation for a Thai friend who has a construction company and was looking to secure some building contracts with a group of Belgians initially and some English guys who were looking to build a few condos. We were all over the Island looking for suitable building plots, again I left pretty much unimpressed, as did my Thai mate I am perfectly happy here out in darkest Surin as are the few expats I associate with. plenty going on an never bored. plus the added bonus of no Indians or Russians or muslims and very very few tourists, what's not to love ? . Ps Cats are free, dogs can be a little more expensive, if one bites they are a stray but if you do kill one they suddenly have 5 owners all asking for money, so best to just keep on going

The term "sexpat" was almost certainly coined by a man hating bull dyke of a western feminist. It applies to anybody travelling abroad for the purpose of having sex with a foreign woman The "distinguishing features" you mention were not part of the original description. those adjectives have been added by other sexpats ( like @NowNow) in a pathetic attempt to set themselves up on their moralising soapbox . and distance themselves from others who actually have more in common with him than he cares to admit

I would say there is very little on this earth anywhere near as pathetic as somebody attempting to appear better than everybody else. How on earth do you know how much time anybody spends in bars ? And what makes their choice of how they spend their time any less valid than yours? It really is none of your business And I didn't say it was their only choice, I leave such generalisations to people like you.

Most foreigners know how to drive well in the comparative safety and controlled over regulated environment of their home countries. The majority of them however are like fish out of water as they try to adapt to driving here. There is a very strong argument, in my opinion, for not allowing short term tourists anywhere near a car or a motorcycle here,
