They just can't let go , I don't think they realise we can't take it with us , it will always will be part of Thailand , it's the small minority that have the biggest land holdings here, and they most likely own property in your country , they only begrudgingly allowed Farangs to legally own Condominium's (but not a whole building ) , because they built far too many ,and construction lobby got the Government to allow it. regards worgeordie

How much time do you spend in the tourist parts
worgeordie replied to kingstonkid's topic in Pattaya
35 years living in Thailand and I have never been to Pattaya, just does not appeal to me , but I have been to most parts of Thailand and Islands , but still prefer Chiang Mai ,it has everything I need, but in the beginning some things could only be obtained from Bangkok or sent to Bangkok to be repaired..... regards Worgeordie -
The problem is some Landlords expect to get the property back in better condition than they rented it out , and will dream up all kinds of stuff so they have not got to repay the deposit. My wife been Thai ,she has that view ,but I try to explain the concept of wear and tear, we always repaint the interior when a tenant leaves ,not a big problem , only when there has been some serious damage ,that only happened once ,a Thai renter took 3 Teak doors , 4 A/c , all the curtains ,good job it was not furnished ,we got the stolen items back ,but kept the deposit due to the Hassle they caused, regards worgeordie

Why do they want to risk their lives trying to get to the UK ,if they are refugees they would have been safe as soon as they got to Germany ,France or Spain if coming up from Africa , no they want to spend a lot of money on traffickers ,,to ferry them over one of the most busiest shipping lanes in rubber dinghies .....WHY ?, I could not wait to get away , 35 years ago and I have never been back, but still proud to be British , regards worgeordie
