  1. agree, thankfully, i've never had a problem with immigration, in fact always found them reasonably helpful and professional, despite having to put up with some idiot foreigners - and their thai wives/partners. despite digitalisation, and claims to be a digital hub, thailand still loves a paper copy with plenty of stamps, you're lucky, and pretty unique if you've avoided stamps in the past
  2. depends where you live in both countries, i have to smile when people rave about thailand's beaches, clearly they have not travelled much, my sister emigrated to australia and the beaches there smash thailand's beaches out of the park. and this is true for many aspects of life. if you can afford it, australia will give you a much better quality of life.
  3. that's terrible financial management, imagine how much you've lost with a non performing asset, never mind the inflation. even if you can afford to take the hit it's not a smart financial decision. i have a nice house back home, increasing in value, i'd always rent here.
  4. he's got point, i went in the 1990s it was amazing, it just looks awful now, the music and people.
  5. you must be new here, irrelevant criticism is all the rage. you have to think some people here have real chips on their shoulders, and are mighty bitter and hateful, must be a horrible existence.
  6. fly to a neighboring country, plenty to choose from and worth visiting. problem solved.
  7. good. i'm fed up with cannabis and marijuana shops constantly being in my face, i'm fed up with smelling the horrible smell in the streets, i'm fed up with the inconsiderate cannabis smokers.
  8. not inevitable at all, i've dated countless thai women, not one wanted money from me. in fact my current gf wants to buy me a condo. i feel the OP hasn't been to thailand, dosen't understand thailand, or is living in a is living in a parallel universe. mate, get out of the bar and discover thailand, it's an amazing place.
  9. yup, long process, patience. plus loooots of photocopying... so much for the digital age...
  10. the way the world is going i'd say there's a very good chance trump will be able to bomb his way to a peace prize. frankly, i'm happy i'm semi retired, owning my home, nice car, regular income and only working because i want to, not because i have to. trump and his supporters can go to hell in a handcart.
  11. pro-cannabis activists who viewed liberalisation as a boost for Thailand's wellness and tourism sectors it still is, just follow the rules and you'll be fine.
  12. it was a badly thought through policy, and needed correcting. sure, i enjoyed a smoke in my youth, while traveling in pakistan the product was awesome, however, i would never smoke in a place where i adversely effected others. it's unpleasant to have the cannabis aroma in the streets. as the customers don't behave in a respectful way i'm very happy with the new ruling. hope it's enforced.
