Is this satire, sarcasm,or some other kind of humor?

Neither: they're all trouble.

Surely the government has a record of who leaves the country, no?

Said by someone not willing to go over and fight yourself, I suppose.

Although I am admittedly a dirty rotten capitalist at heart, a little bit of socialism is okay. Free university education is a good thing, as well as healthcare. "Free" as in paid for by taxes. Otherwise, there should be no tax. Imagine paying tax and not even getting education and healthcare, lol

Yeah, it's fair play. If you've got the money you can throw a big party if you feel like it

Why is it a drag for you?

If I had unlimited finances, I'd do 6 months back West for the weather, food, culture, fresh air, scenery.......and then 6 months here for the "culture" ????

I don't see it. What has she got?

Never thought I'd hear this question asked. Lol ????

Yup, I do speak Thai and I read it. Lived up in the north in a rural village for ages. I also work here. Hell, I even studied a masters here with Thais at university for a couple of years. I actually really loved Thai culture when I was new to the country, until I got to know the culture better, ???? It's not my cup of tea; I am a farang.

Ah yes, I should have put a grumpy expat option. ???? Nobody is forcing you to participate in the poll, you know.

Thanks for sharing. Mate, I am here for the rich culture ???????????????????? ????????????????????

Krusapa spends more time moving goal posts than anything else. Maybe they are just acting busy . ????

Yeah, I mean I still prefer the appearance of the Thai women over Western. But their beauty is pretty much just skin deep.

I didn't make voters names public. I thought people might not like that.

I already voted on the poll. I ain't asking for anyone's life story ????

As the title says: why are you here (in Thailand)? Many are here for work, study, family, fun, entertainment, culture, food, cost of living, spirituality, weather, health, sports, recreation etc. etc. Curious to know what keeps us expats here.

Same with most Asian countries: Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, China etc. etc.

I just saw an African American YouTuber walking down Soi 4 Nana last night talking to his smartphone saying, "Thailand is a real place!" Lol

That's right. Everyone is speculating that he went to Thailand for sex. That's what this whole thread is about. All we know is he enjoyed holidays here and sent money over regularly. Maybe he was going to temples and making donations. What's the problem?

Yeah obviously, she announced it on national television, lol. She thinks it's the whole world's business! I wonder how it would be accepted if he aired her dirty laundry for the world to see? ???? My guess is she hasn't slept with him in about 20-30+ years. Why else would he say his sex life isn't her business??

Well, like I said: his choice. Maybe he likes Thailand. And, like he says, it's nobody else's business.

Didn't you suggest he use prostitutes in the UK, rather than Thailand? Just wondering why that would concern you?

His choice. ???? Why would you be bothered?
