    You wrote, " All cities are troubled because there is always a rich half and a poor half."  Thailand has good roads and hospitals which are used by both rich and poor Thais.  Poor working Thais can use the rich hospitals on their work insurance.  Poor Farang can use good government hospitals in Thailand for much less than the private hospitals.  And rich and poor alike use the Thai roads.

    Yep, I believe the poor in Pattaya could get access to Banglamung Hospital services for

    B30 no insurance required, and the poor, like myself, can use our bicycles on all roads.

    What I was trying to say is that the rich poor division will cause certain tensions

    and resentment within Pattaya or any city.     Gotta leave your gold Rolex at home!

    And stop stealing all their pretty women!!

    Thailand has good hospitals and roads everywhere and that is not bothered by the rich and poor thing.

     

     

    If you did'nt have enough money for the hospital,  I imagine that

    you might be bothered.

    Who's talking about applying for anything ? I can get a free three month visa on arrival and apparently it's very easy to stay.......  What i like the most is though, when i enter Malaysia i get a "You're welcome Sir, have a nice stay" as opposed to Thailand which is "Why are you here and what are you doing here" ?    After nearly thirty years in Thailand it's all getting a bit boring....... I'm interested is that Cleveland USA, or Cleveland UK ?  Yeah and don't forget you can own a house and car in your own name, have rights, and don't have the constant worry of the government moving the goalposts all the time...... I think you'll find that most people who have been in Thailand a long time have realised that the show's over, infact i've never seen foreigners and Thais as unhappy as they are now........ Till the next coup.........

    I would like to confirm that. I only do 6 months of the year in Thailand, but earlier this

    year, I was happy to go back to the UK.. with a 2 day overstay fine of B1000

    Going back to Los shortly, but for only 5 months [understay]

    Next year I might try Russia.

    How does one survive in this country 30+ years? 

    Does it ever annoy you when you realise that you spend more money here than back home and have to put up with a lot in order to be treated like a 2nd class citizen? 

     

     

    There is truth in what you say, but I feel the Thais regard us as low class.

     In the UK we are regarded as plebs unless educated at Eton.

    To hell with it, we still have fun.
