thaipo7 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Farang99 You are right on point. Number 1 for me. Go into any village and out of no where you will see a beautiful girl/woman. Been married to one for 45+ years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being married to a women who hasn't been spoilt or damaged by western standards and knows her role in a marriage without changing or challenging it, and is happy, isn't negative, jealous, or a ball breaker, and is a pleasure to be around. 2. Being able to afford not having to work another day in my life here Vs literally killing myself by working 5/7th's of life, having worked between 60 - 80 hour weeks back in the production line, just to survive and put a little aside for an annual holiday, while everything just kept increasing except wages for the past decade. 2. Being able to build a house 4 times the size of the old one, for 1/10th of the price it would cost me back in the old country, and have the time to enjoy living it in Vs being away from it most of the time. 3. Being able to not have to pay any tax from my investment back in the old country, while living the life I always wanted here, pinching myself everyday so as not to have to wake up from living the dream. 4-10+. Extremely affordable: Water rates, Electricity, Gas, House Insurance, Car insurance, Diesel, Food, excluding imports, Alcohol, excluding imports, Women, entertaining you, Hotels, Cars, Motorbikes, Drivers licences, Extensions of stays, Speeding fines, Flight routes and choices of airlines. 10 Reasons I DON'T like Thailand 1. Annual extension of stay applications 2. 90 day reporting 3. Relaxed police 4. Relaxed laws 5. Double pricing 6. International insurance prices 7. School punishment 8. Corruption 9. Back burning in the country 10. lack of education in Thai society At the end of the day one has to balance things out and the LIKES outweigh the DON'T LIKES, so its "up to you" as the Thai's say, so for me, its more LIKES than DON'T LIKES 1. is obviously tongue in cheek.

Not really, its the 1st thing I like about Thailand, i.e. she is Thai, from Thailand. Are you insinuating that I am a male chauvinist, squire ?

Thai cinemas arent cheap $9-12 in Utah, $12-16 on West Coast, plus $6 for Coke and $8 for popcorn. So a movie date could cost $60 before dinner, drinks and parking.

Enjoy your picturesque day at the beach ? No -- I just posted a view of the ocean at Pt. Reyes National Seashore near where I used to live in California. But at least you get ocean views in California. Where in Thailand do you get an ocean view -- not a Gulf or Sea view -- from a condo or anywhere else? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
