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!

Where can you eat the best Irish food? In the US

 

Where can you eat the best Italian food? In Brazil

 

Where can you it the best English food? There is no such bloody thing

Thai food is obviously superb in Thailand, but it’s even better when the meat is a better grade and for that you don’t get it from the street vendors.

I disagree with this. Thai food in Thailand is so much better than the sanitised UK version of Thai food, IMO.  

 

When I go home I really look forward to meeting up with all the pretty girls

How can you disagree with this????? It's obvious that the better the meat, the better the dish....the sanitised version in UK Is an irrelevance!

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.

I don't know this Dan guy, but I totally agree.... This is really nothing more than a list of old clichés....he misses seasons? Really? I've never heard that one before, tell me all about it!

And look where that has brought Thailand, the antibiotics I have in mind

You think easy access to antibiotics has some negative effect?

Fat, unattractive mouthy women!

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!

A shot in the ass cures all.

Sorry, but this is fake news.  Many way better places than Brazil for Italian food.

Real ale and my friends and family are what i miss although real ale can be had in some tourist areas.

Much prefer European beers from Belgium, Germany and Czech, with the occasional Guinness thrown in!

I miss family and friends and free health care as being a non UK resident. 

Life in Thailand is far superior in my experience. 

I agree with everything you say and can't think of anything else to add to the list. I would love to own another XJ6 Jaguar but a half decent one cost anything over 10,000 baht here and only worth a little over a thousand pounds in UK.

That's what I have in mind for the future but it will be a while before I can afford to do something like that !

What time of year are you back in the UK for six months ?

Expat conversation in Thailand "Bar girls, Beer, Bikes and Football" personally I prefer  the company of educated Thais

Educated Thais, Needle in a Haystack, although judging by your Post you are probably shunned by the Ex Pat community who find you to be an utter Snob and a complete Bore.

Thai food in Thailand seems to have more intensity, more flavour, more variety.

What you call 'better meat' is subjective.

Each to their own.
