When I first retired here about 20 years ago ,Thailand had cheap good golf ,entertainment, girls food travel hotels, house rents and clean beaches in relative safe conditions. Now with all the price increases there are only the cheap house rents, and inexpensive girls left. But I am still hanging on. If Thailand had any and all things right then  most of us could not afford to live here.People do not come here for any thing that Thailand is supposed to have "Right".

Not in Scotland that I know of, I have been coming home from gigs in the early hours many times and came across plenty of red lights, I always had to stop, but if there were no traffic, I would just go.

Cameras at Lights everywhere now, 3 Points on your Licence and £300 Fine.

Being able to walk round the local lake at 5.00am, and enjoy the fresh morning air.

I am pretty sure that, from where I come from, if I walked every morning at that time, there would soon be a murder enquiry !

Do you think the prices increased only here or also "back home"? I remember the days from 500B for 2 hours of intensive care. But to be fair that was 20 years ago...

That's true, but I'm going back to the Mid 2000's, anyway I would never have gone through if I saw any cameras.

I have never been caught going through a red light, because I always stop dead making sure nothing is coming first.

4G in Thailand much better than in UK!

Is it? I just put a sim card in my old Nokia on my annual three week visit back to Scotland.

You have a point there.

Seriously,  Better medical care.  Except for the government pay tell me what country has better medical care services.

I have used very little medical care in either country, so I am not qualified to comment.

Don't make me laugh

The UK has plenty of corruption, their MPs have got the education and brains to cover it up, where

Thailands equivalent has not.

The bus fare from my village to the nearest city has not increased at all in the near 13 years I have been here.

One thing that I like, as a few others have mentioned, is being able to buy around the clock. I live out in the sticks but within a few driving minutes of my house I have several 24 hour Tesco Lotus and 7-11 stores. That beats even the long hours that the Indians corner shops open in my native London.

If the UK folk covered it up then we wouldn't know about it, would we. The difference is that in Thailand the corrupt don't care if they are exposed because there are no consequences.

"If the UK folk covered it up then we wouldn't know about it, would we".

That would be the whole idea.

Your last sentence is spot on.:smile:
