As a farang I had a far, far higher quality of life in LOS than in any other country I lived in. Switzerland may have a better quality of life in some people's opinion, but I'd never ever want to live there ( and I have been there ). "Facts are Facts, your misleading opinion doesn't really matter" Right back at you.

No idea what "If you completed your education, given up on health and decent health care" means, but I didn't consider my Thai family members' education, health care, or career prospects my responsibility as they were richer than I, and even had they been poorer I didn't marry them. I ignored the "culture" as much as possible, as it was always used as a way to try and make me give them money without any benefits to myself. I WAS an alien, and never allowed to forget it when I had to go to the immigration office 4 times a year. Foreign food in LOS was generally the same over processed, full of chemicals <deleted> that I live on in the west, and I generally ate the same food as Thais do at the same price as they.

We generally don't have much say in whether we get cancer or some other similar life destroying disease. Happiness usually departs once the medics destroy us to save us ( happened to me ). However, while I agree with the first being essential for happiness, I'd add money, as it's not much fun having to work in a sweat shop for 9,000 baht a month just to survive.

Do you forget that without doing things like sending things into orbit a lot of people would lose their income, and might have to work in the real world for a pittance like ( IMO ) most do? Having discovered most of the easily ascertained facts IMO they are now trying to invent new ways to get those luvverly big grants. I saw several garbage science projects in Antarctica myself, none of which have benefited humanity in the subsequent decades.

If I could go back to that moment I first saw my wife to be I would still follow through, as we had a good life for some years, but I'd do a lot of things very differently, such as refusing to go live in the village, which was when it started to go wrong. What I'm asking, is, if you had the chance, would you avoid her completely as too toxic to contemplate, or, was there enough potential to try again, but not same same?

It's located at the Iron Bridge end of Loi Kroh Rd. Went past it the other night and it was closed up. Big hole in the ground next door which makes me think the area is going to be rebuilt.
