Dmaxdan Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Apart from a pint or two of real ale sipped outside a quaint country pub during a long summer evening and a proper English ruby murray there is very little I miss about England.

Your comment about overcooked is just a stereotype-you can cook for yourself and order rare steaks (not buffalo). I’m more worried about the reports of widespread insecticide contamination on vegetables here. I make my own bread out of the four basic ingredients, its really quite simple 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post fordguy61mi Posted March 12, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2018 2 hours ago, twix38 said: I used to go back to UK every year for a few weeks. Then a couple of months and last year nearly 4 months. Slowly realising I prefer to be there and next week I return and plan to stay 6 months. The negatives in Thailand now often outweigh my reasons for living here and it's no longer cheap living. I agree with the 13 list and would add cycling, walking in the countryside, woods, parks etc in UK. It is usually built on in Thailand and dangers of air pollution. The food pesticide risks in Thailand are concerning for medium/long term health. Also the standard of healthcare here on the surface look fine. My experience repeatedly is that it is patchy with no accountability and is often found wanting. I expect to return to Thailand for the Winter time only rather than staying for most of the year . I am actually looking forward to a life back home where life maybe slightly less free but one hell of a lot safer and equal to all. I retire here in the US in 5 years and I’m starting out only going in the winters. I know I’ll miss spring and fall and the cooler summers of Michigan and deer hunting and Christmas with the grandkids and the food. But I won’t miss the ice, snow, and freezing temps of January, February, and March. So we’ll be snowbirds to Thailand and my wife can see her family and friends and have her food there every year. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex8912 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 British food!?!? LMAO! You have to be kidding. Why when I walk around Paris, Barcelona, Rome, Athens, Istanbul , Bangkok, Tokyo, Boston etc are there NO British restaurants all over? Yes there are pubs lol and British sounding tatoo shops. Even the States has famous barbecue, lobsters, chowder and hamburgers you can find around the globe. Was just at a resort at Karon beach not a Brit in sight there was a bread budding and at the end of the breakfast hour no one took a piece. Put a piece of bread pudding and a simple ice cream Sundae in front of 5 British kids and I bet they will all take the Sundae if told they could pick just one desert! Christmas? Is he kidding! Big wind up I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevc Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Please tell me you are joking. Every school has activities for Christmas, every shopping mall has Christmas stuff up and selling.The trouble is the schools are open Christmas and it is just like any other unless you are in an international school, nothing beats a Christmas back home.Sent from my SM-P901 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roo860 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 English food?? The poster must be joking. Especially when he talks about bread. They overcook all their meat and their vegetables are tasteless. In fact, you'll find better English food in Thailand. I have met a few who make such claims. But they like bland food. The only food I miss is Kippers, and salmon, but they are from Scotland!I always order my steak just as I like it, not overcooked, perhaps these people you have met should try eating in a decent establishment.Sent from my SM-G920F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterA Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 USA: What I miss; A great hardware store. Where i can buy everything for a job in one trip for a reasonable price. I miss being able to go to a common store and buying most common medical aids like aspirin or pain relievers. I miss spring and fall colors. Nothing else do I miss. That's why I left.

Aspirin is much easier on the stomach, and good for many things, including your heart. Tramadol and Paracetamol are not. New Skin, a liquid bandage, can be bought even at a 7-11 or comparable store. I get a lot of small infections from cuts here. I can't even find band aids at Tesco. Have to go to a pharmacy. I also miss doctors who do not give you antibiotics for everything under the sun!

Denim Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I saw the thread title and in a blinding flash of clairvoyance surmised it was going to be another desperate Dan effort. Opened the thread and presto...Cheeseman at work turning milk into cheese. I don't agree with crowd funding but if someone starts one up to get Dan solvent enough to give blogging and vlogging up , I will contribute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
