What a wonderful country to call home.

That is very true, I hate to admit it but it is the future for Thailand. As an expat from the US I would never call Thailand home. For me it is a shi$ hole but for China and others it is paridise.

I thought Thailand was a sex toy!

Don't worry next week the numbers will be at record levels..

Locals don't know any better, most retiree's know you need to tighten up a home and insulate it. I have yet to be in a retiree's home that was even close to energy efficient. All it would take is a very little effort to tighten up a home , add insulation and new windows.. But, of course that would require a little effort.

No building codes, no insulation, windows are a joke. With just a few upgrades the A/C would do just fine. But, of course that would mean some effort.

Maybe, I saw LA was letting the CCP in. I ask a few in SA about China and they don't like the idea? SA and LA are super macho countries. Interesting to see how that goes. I live on and off in that part of the world. These folks are armed and dangerous.

One of my favorite areas I must say. I just spent 6 months mostly in Laos. Some of the worst roads in the world IMHO. I drove to the Vietnam border and all around the area. I love it, reminds me of Thailand many years ago. Since the rail system is operational I have never seen so many Chinese knock off of US brands(clothes). It is quite amazing to see in the malls in Laos. You want to see unrestricted Chinese brand theft head to Laos and check it out. It is unreal. The locals are complaining that the rail system has bankrupted the government. I don't get into politics but the locals were telling me Laos has let the Chinese bankrupt their country. The Maintenance of roads and such has basically stopped. All money is going to repay China.

Gotta feel sorry for the locals, Hot and one of the most polluted countries in the world. Tourists and expats living there, I have no sympathy for what so ever.

Is this a YouTube digital nomad BS site now.

Same here, I cannot tell you how many filters I have cleaned in Thai hotels that were completely clogged up. Not to mention that there is no insulation and usually holes in the windows and doors where air can get in. A/C in Thailand is used to spot cool a small area only. Horrible wast of energy.

The fire dept. was praising the farmers in Laos, Cambodia, Mianmar and Thailand for causing the particulate matter in the air to be so high, and the lack of oxygen to have saved the lives of many. Without oxygen and heavy particulate matter the fire would have been much worse. TAT is promoting burning and says it has saved many lives in CM.

True love, Thai style.

It is just a scam, I visit many countries and most all only require you show a certain income or bank balance if you want to live there. They want to make sure you have the funds to live a good life and spend like a tourist. Thailand is a joke. I always relate the Retirement rules to a Thai bar girl. Same mind set.

29-30000 people a year dead because of air pollution. Plunk down 25K in a Thai bank for 6 months a year living (you need to vacate 6 months if you want to breath). Some of the highest ATM withdrawal rates in the world. Immigration hassles. Military run government catering to the CCP. Yea, sign me up.

Yea, all the folks that moved to Thailand and make it out to be the best country in the world. I take with a huge grain of salt. Best to just pass them by.

Apple move to the US.. never happen. Maybe Mexico. I thought Apple had doubled down in China.

Hard to believe this still goes on with all the press about it. But, then again look at all the foreigners that get scammed by the Thai women. And this has been written about for decades now.

Well got my chuckle for the morning, now back to reality.

I used to drive down to see the cranes at the lake. Lake was a polluted shi%% hole because of the buffalo . But the cranes were worth the visit.

Same here in the US. I live in a huge city and older people are living on the streets. I have an old childhood friend that is mowing yards at 65 to help supplement SS. Have another childhood friend that is living in a small camper trying to survive.

When I was living in the sticks. The tribes people and locals set the fires. Common every year. Actually it spurs growth. And the tribes people and locals would set the fires for financial reasons. The real problem I saw was clear cutting the forests and burning. Cambodia was.a nightmare. There are not any forests left in SE Asia. Most low land forests have been clear cut years ago. Thailand , other than the few parks has not had any forests in many many years. As a side note, after living threw some of the worst years of pollution. I would not set foot in Thailand for six months a year. Thailand is one of the worst, if not the worst country I have ever visited as a tourist or resident six months a year.

Walking down the street with your mate and see a guy with an absolute doll.. When you get closer you see she is a doll... yikes.

If these guys get in power, might as well annex with China.
