Can't say I ever really miss Thailand when I'm away. The only thing that I miss after a while is being in my own place, especially if I'm staying in a hotel that doesn't have cooking facilities.

Agreed, the distance to South America and Europe from Thailand just makes Thailand so much more difficult as a base though if you want to do a lot of global travel. Living in Thailand, if you want to be able to Travel say no more than about six hours on a flight, then you are pretty much limited to traveling to other places within Asia. That's a downside in my opinion. Also, the cost of flights to Europe have gotten more costly and, unless you're going to travel there and stay for a couple of months, then the flight cost starts be becoming a bit much. If you travel within Asia then the flights are a lot cheaper, so it's more economical to go for shorter trips more frequently. I wish that was the same case with Europe.

Perhaps. But I've been to a lot of different places in Spain. Many of them would be boring for a long stay as you said. But it's a big country and quite a few of the places I do really like. I think it all comes down to routine though. We all need to develop some sort of routine or lifestyle. Once you have that, I think it doesn't really matter where you are. You can still do your thing, thrive and stay active. For me, the lack of outdoors is a very limiting factor in Thailand. In other countries where it's more comfortable weather, and pleasant to walk around, being outside often takes up about four hours of my day. I never tire of it.

I try and drop one more than every now and then. At least once a day is my goal. Gotta get those toxins out of the body.

I love Spain. I always spend lots of time outdoors and just walking around, enjoying the environment when I'm there. I don't find it boring at all. And spending a lot of time outdoors is something that I don't do in Thailand because of the extreme heat and pollution. I would actually spend more of the year in Spain, if it weren't such a long flight from Asia.

Or give some?

I don't mind the occasional temple. But I give the malls a pass.

Shopping malls, street food, temples, markets, beaches, gyms, massages, or just stay home and rub one out until your wife gets back?

Why do so many people spend hours hanging around this forum? Is it just boredom or having nothing better to do, or is it something deeper like the need to be heard, the desire for recognition, the urge to feel right, to be admired, liked, accepted, or simply to experience some form of human connection? I’ve noticed that when I’m busy, traveling, or caught up in life, I can go weeks without even glancing at the site. For me, it’s purely a way to kill downtime on occasion. That got me thinking: is everyone else here for the same reason, or are some drawn in because they just don’t have much going on? If you suddenly had something better or more engaging to keep you busy for most of your time, would you still even bother logging in? I’m talking specifically about the sections of the site meant for chatting and social banter, not the parts for answering questions or sharing real info. So why do people really keep coming back for hours at a time everyday to discuss mostly nothingness?

On track for "the most disliked troll of the year" award?

It is really skint. Not sure how he makes things work on such a low budget. Maybe he's the kind of guy who can rub two nickels together and get a quarter out of it.

OMG, absolute comedy gold. 😂 Seriously, do you ever read the drivel you post? It’s like something scribbled by a grade schooler with disabilities, And the fact you think anyone on a forum could ever possibly envy you? That’s a mind-blowing level of childish delusion. I love it, though, never seen someone act like such a weird man-child. Keep it coming. Oh, and by the way, I’m actually scraping by on 300 a day, just being real here. We can’t all be ballers like you, King Harris.

Now you are showing me photos of pickup trucks. Aren't those for farmers? Well, you are really weird bro. How many more needless posts are you going to make, while stalking and trolling this topic, before you flounce off in a huff and post another one of your own earth shattering topics? What will it be? "Best things about bum guns"?

Well, glad you got that off your chest, do you feel better now? And according to Harris, I am flat broke, living in my mum's basement, can't even afford a ticket for the early matinee. So go figure. Also, I live on a 700 Baht daily budget, if you don't believe me, just ask Harris. He's minted by the way.

You are still completely obsessed with this topic, aren't you? You have made 44 posts now it seems, plus the other 20 troll posts that were already removed. You must have put in a solid 5 hours on this topic already already today. Have you taken any pee breaks at least? I am a bit confused though, before you said it was a stupid topic, but now its become your life's obsession? Noodle me that bro. #CONFLICTEDTROLL

I think the ongoing efforts to restrict foreigners living in Thailand through tax and immigration laws, along with the recent crackdown on foreigners using weed, reflect a mix of ignorance and desperation. The country is struggling economically, politically, and in many other areas (like stability), and these measures are desperate reactions dressed up as nationalism when in reality they are simply attempts to grab money.

Was thinking the same myself. I have a roof and underneath the building is car parking. No basement.

That's just what it works out to. I don't actually have a budget.

#GAY

Looks like it's run away now. #CAPITULATION

Honestly, I can live on about 700 Baht a day average, some days less, especially if no whoring. Internet, cell, water, electricity combined are another 100 Baht a day. The only thing that costs extra is semi-annual condo fees and health insurance.
