Thai government defends foreign land ownership plan
Raphael Hythlodaeus replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I used to agree with you, but now I don't and nor does my Thai family. In my view reciprocity does not apply when the GDP per person is much lower here than in more developed countries. But even then, look at the ridiculously high house prices in say London which have crowded out the locals. I would be concerned about the Chinese buying up property here, as they have done for condos which I think has contributed to the high condo prices these days. -
Glad we agree KhunLA. But I'm afraid I have better things to do than to write, let alone read, your 6440 posts to this forum. Actually, I'm wasting my time saying anything in this forum! Cheerio.

Yes, it is my choice. The air pollution is way ahead what it was 20 or 30 years ago. The public transport system is excellent and beats the congestion. Maybe you miss the hidden gems and amazing things going on. Try smiling if things don't meet your high expectations. Be happy wherever you are or go back from whence you came.

For all the miserable naysayers on this forum who I wish would just leave, and from someone who has lived in Bangkok for over 40 years, I love Bangkok and Thailand as a whole, for reasons beyond the understanding of the moaners. Any survey is irrelevant to me.

Hmmm, easy to say if you are not in that position (like I am, but with funds) and have a Thai family. It's not s eslk in the park. But must award the main gov Siriraj Mahidol University Hospital in BKK top marks, 5* for my recent 5 day stay for a major op. But very difficult to navigate without a Thai speaker.
