I think many of you are misunderstanding my post. I am not against immigration, Canada is a very large country and we can handle many new immigrants. I know many people that immigrated to Canada LEGALY and have fit into our culture and have worked to make themselves good citizens of there new adopted country. What I am against is the new trend of ILLEGAL border crossers that our PM is welcoming into Canada with open arms that refuse to even try to blend into our culture with 3 or 4 wives which is not allowed in Canada so they now have one wife and 2 or 3 live in companions and anywhere up to 15 or more children being put into free housing, free medical, welfare and trying to force us to adopt there culture instead of our own and sorry to disagree with some of the posters the majority of them are not working or have any intention of working as the politicaly correct morons in our present government don't want to be called racist  and are giving them everything they demand. There are anywhere up to 3 to 4 thousand crossing the border every month receiving the free handouts with designer luggage and brand new top of the line I-phones while our disabled veterans and seniors which I am one receive nothing because we are told we are asking too much and there is no money in the government to give us. I paid taxes all my working life and received a whopping 57 cent a moth increase in my pension, first increase in many years.

Only 11? With the attitude some of them show I would have thought the number is much higher.

No, but cause of death may make LOS more dangerous for an average person. Bottom line is more farang die in LOS than Brazil by over a factor of 10. I would say as a retired man I feel considerably safer, happier and much less bored in Brazil. I don't regret my 2 years here but given adequate funds there are many better places to pass the time. Basically I see three things LOS has going for it, cheap immigration, cheap young ladies and cheap cost of living. In the end you always get what you pay for and that's OK. The thing I can't put my head around is why would wealthy people choose to settle here other than marriage ?

You are telling this to poor folks on the dole living in a cold water flat in Canada?  I think they may not have a point of reference.

But they live in Thailand so the law in another country isn't valid here, can't you grasp that?

I would imagine they are much happier than those poor fools living the eunuch lifestyle in Toronto

Aren't there many laws that are valid for foreigners living in Thailand like all those underage sex laws?

You cannot step in the same river twice.  I tried and it wasn't the same.  Best forget about the good times and marriage and family and concentrate on your new bleak cold existence with dour Canadians.

Find a forum that has your new interests at its base.  Stop posting in Thai forums because they will only depress you more and drive you to try and insult happy expats and make them all feel as depressed as you.  

 

It's not good to try and make other people sad and to critique their lifestyle.  No one put you in charge of the definitions of happy and sad or good and bad. 

 

The guys living in Thailand know and if they wanted to be miserable they would move back to Canada too.  So why and try and spread your own brand of misery here. 

 

Get out and go to Marche Movenpick and have something to eat.  That always made me happy.  Or look at photo's of Margaret Trudeau bum, that's what we did for fun when I lived there.

Do the math, 3.2/100K is huge and not just for Americans but farang in general and it is only getting worse. Doesn't really matter how, dead is dead. 4X as dangerous as Mexico, Twice that of Honduras, 5x El Salvador. It means if you want to wake up dead there is only one better place to go. I have a home and live mostly in Brazil. Brazil has more than twice as many Americans visit as LOS and doesn't make the list, maybe one or two deaths per year. Now if you're black, 24 years old and visit to engage in drug activity your odds go way up.

 

Crime  involves a lot more than death doesn't it?

Nope. I'm not going anywhere. I enjoy Thailand foruming.

 

It's rather amusing to constantly read this reinforcement of happiness, yet when I open this very forum it's page after page of negative topics and even more negative and miserable replies. 95% of the replies here is whining and complaining from people that should be the happiest. 

 

So when I'm back in say 4 months I will read from the same people how Thailand is crap and how things are going downhill. Don't bother....Thailand ain't the same it was 4 months ago. "Pattaya is going downhill!!!". "The Russians are back!!!"..."don't steal our hook.....i mean women!!!", 

 

Hell I might even show my Thai wife this thread. Thais may not know sarcasm, but they understand hypocrisy.

Then you predicted wrong. I am not in the least bit angry. Highly amused at your lack of self awareness is more like it. 555. Only just got back to boresville, setting up a thread all about your departure from Thailand then a few hours later already planning a return in four months.

Its a UK expression basically meaning being on the verge of doing something and then backing out at the last moment due to being unsure of afraid. After reading your post I don't think it applies in your case.

It can mean doing a runner as an act of cowardice.  As in he lost his bottle- bottle and glass =Arse. He shit himself.

You just tarred yourself with the same brush and you don't know you're doing it. Back in four months when you just trashed the place? Second thoughts already? My wife would have my balls on a platter if I treated her this way with such uncertainty. 

 

Some of us here are very happy. We don't say Pattaya is going downhill or care about the Russians or Chinese. A lot of us are NOT married to hookers or uneducated farm girls with nothing wanting huge Sin Sods (and you are so fresh to tell us about this all the time). Some of us here are ordinary people, been here a lot longer than you and in all honesty, see relationships like yours go bust every day because it is no different to any other part of the world. We all change; hell I can change tomorrow as well and divorce my wife! Nothing is certain.

 

Would you have complained if Thailand had a free decent health system for you? Should have you not had A grade Health Insurance from your wife's job? I mean, from what I saw, you had a lot more then what most men get here with how you wrote? 

 

I think not. Lord, some want it all.

 

Saying you will be back in four months for a holiday or whatever you plan on doing is hypercritical after what you wrote. 

 

I feel we all got trolled on this one now. Got to laugh at that ....

That was quite the rant. You must be a geneous like Trump to have figured all this out (you do sound American even though you make reference to Australia).

"Most Thai woman are dumb as shit".  "Plus they are stupid as shit" .These are two of the most ignorant comments that I have ever seen on this forum. Who the fxxk are you to generalize about a human race like this? The brush that you paint with is a mighty broad one. While I've encountered "a few", can't say as I've met many that fit your description and they certainly weren't Hiso or highly educated ladies.

I hope you do not reside in Thailand or even visit. It's jerks like you that give us decent ones a bad reputation.

Are you for real? Do you honestly think Thai women on a world stage are smart and educated? Seriously?

 

Just ran into a Thai woman here in Florida that has a lawyer degree from Thailand. Her English is so pathetic she is 2 grade English for adults here in Florida.

 

She was told it might take her 8 years of English here full-time before her English would be proficient enough for her legal field

 

Get it now? and NO this is not just one case.

 

How many Thai women you know have English skills that can pass a US college entrance exam? None

 

I have seen tons of Thai women in Florida that cannot even pass the US drivers license test because the English is too hard

 

If you think Thai women or Thai's in general can compete educationally on the world stage? 

 

Well I can see why you are in Thailand.

 

Hang on to your ATM card. Don't want any those smart Thai women cleaning your out.
