please provide numbers and source for the claim "very relevant these days" implying that relative to their numbers more expats are leaving than "those days earlier".

 

you can't? i thought so!

 

Numbers and sources in a country where every number from real estate to traffic accidents is rigged?

 

You gotta be joking and if not can you advise where these sources can be found?

 

Anyway, oops I just gave some posters the opportunity to say I bashed Thailand with this post.

what part of "you can't? i thought so!" is it you don't understand?

For all the above reasons, your post sounds like fabricated nonsense to me.

Up to you what you believe. But thinking back on it, you were not there when he said it so you would NOT know. I do not need to fabricate nonsense, they do enough of that themselves.

As far as Thai Scientists  try checking Google plus Bumrungrad Hospital is a world class hospital doing more than 500,000 procedures for medical tourism a year. The Doctor's are first rate and  most were trained in USA or EU and speak English.

Objection Your Honour! very few of Bumrungrad's doctors were trained abroad for a period longer than 3 months. and as far as their English is concerned my experience is that the language command of nurses and the doctor's assistants exceeds that of their superiors.

 

disclaimer: that does not mean that Bumrungrad's treatments are not first class. but a fact is that the hospital's cost and fees are "top first rate".

You have not a clue about Thai Hi-so or Thai Elite.  The rich Thai send their kids overseas to study at Harvard, Oxford and other higher institutions of learning. Many of the former PM's and Royal Family members have studied and graduated from Ivy league schools in the US or EU. I dated a Thai girl who went to University here in Bangkok but also spent 5 years in the USA and graduated from University in Boston, MA. and speaks English perfectly and with a Boston accent. If you stay away from lower Sukumvit and try hanging out at Central Lad Prao check out the movie theaters there. The Holllywood movies are in English only (no Thai subtitles) so in that

packed theatre all the Thai watching the movie speak English and I also noticed they laughed at little innuendo's in the movie that a person not having a good command of English would understand.  As far as Thai Scientists  try checking Google plus Bumrungrad Hospital is a world class hospital doing more than 500,000 procedures for medical tourism a year. The Doctor's are first rate and  most were trained in USA or EU and speak English.

 

 

Again ! Talking about the 1% that is not as dumb as the rest of 99%.

 

And I am sure that I dated more rich and educated Thai than you, because it is my only hobby, so do not come to explain me that they all are smart. They all are as stupid as the next one, rich or poor. find me a Thai who can talk about economy or world politics without saying something so stupid that only her stupid dad or mom could have told her.

So dating stupid women is your only hobby, is that so you can feel superior and get to put them down on a Thai forum? What a piece of work you are.

" A piece of work is a phrase that dates back to Shakespeare's time, however, it has taken on an idiomatic meaning in addition to its literal meaning. ... However, a piece of work is also used as an idiom to describe someone who is unpleasant, dishonest, hard to deal with, of low character".

Anyone that talks to their girlfriend about economics or world politics needs looking at askance.

Good for you but to many people that seems boring as hell.

 

For some people it probably is, but at 74 after working in 38 countries over 50 years it is great.

 

Apart from growing up as a boy, the 14 years I have been living here in rural Thailand is the longest I heave ever lived in the same house.

 

What many of the younger people on the forum think is great I used to do for many years and it has  taken its toll on my body.

one of the best/true/accurate posts I've ever read on TV is post # 166 by bwpage3 also post #141 by Gudge is 100% accurate according to my Canadian friends who want to stay the hell away from their birth place.

They are saddened by what has happened to their country ( but they don't miss the horrible weather.)

I learned a long time ago to heavily discount any argument based on made-up statistics. It' the cheapest of rhetorical tricks, intended to put a scientific spin on opinion and conjecture, to dress up the purely subjective in a fake white lab coat of objectivity. And, of course, it allows you to deflect any evidence to the contrary. If I tell you that I know a Thai woman who was chief-of-staff for the CEO of Goldman Sachs in Asia, highly respected and talented, who went on to found her own global PE firm, you can dismiss her saying she's just in the 1%. If I tell you I just hired a very impressive young woman who just earned her MA from Columbia University, you can say she doesn't count. I'd love to see you sit across the table from either one and tell them that Thai women are-- what is your phrase?-- "dumb as shit." Really all you are accomplishing here is telling us that you move in circles of uneducated people and you can't escape them. 

[Renter]

reality check is needed here ~ people defend their position because loss of face is something farangs suffer from as well as thais because admitting they have made a mistake is very painful emotionally either picking the wrong woman or whatever.  Thailand is a place that can can drive a normal man to the point of total distraction where logical awareness disappears and thru stress other problems appear. Thailand can be magic or hell but it is certaintly not heaven.

Women are absolutely and phenomenally good looking (there is just no comparison with Thai women and I feel sorry for the guys lying to themselves)

I stopped reading here.  White girls have nothing on Asian chicks.  Tube in London will have 1, maybe 2 hot girls per carriage.  MRT or BTS in Bangkok will have 5.

This is a problem across this forum and is a symptom of the forum's userbase, many of whom are not very likeable and do not have much to offer to anybody other than money.  Inevitably they end up surrounded by not very smart people, as they are the only ones who will hang out with them.  It's a match.

You are right, and you also know some honest cops or officials !

So ridiculous...

I guess that your wife is also a genius, right ? This is what all ridiculous foreigners pretend ! But listen to me, "smart" Thai women as anyone you have have met in your life, I have got 100+ as girlfriends, so yes, I know them well, and none has been half as smart as my most stupid girlfriends in the west.

But yes, I agree that if you have no idea about what means having a brain, it must be hard to understand !

 

 

 

 

Try to calm down. Try not to over excite yourself.   Try to get some sleep.  You need rest. You are over excited. Count back wards from 100, breath deeply,  suck your thumb and try to think nice thoughts about your mum

Dating rich and educated Thais is your hobby, is it?  What a despicable way to describe your relations with Thai women: a hobby. Like they're model airplanes or something.

 

Your overheated, argumentative, opinionated and arrogant posts make me think you couldn't get to first base with most Thai women, much less wealthy and well-educated ones. Your very temperament makes me think you are supremely ill-suited to be in a relationship with a Thai woman, and I would encourage you to show them the kindness of NOT pursuing any further involvement with them. I also doubt you can speak more than ten words of Thai because if you did, you would realize how stupid you are being by disparaging Thai people's intelligence.

 

Your comments are an embarassment to TVF members and the wider expat community. You need to zip your mouth and open your ears. Better yet, book a one-way ticket back to whatever rathole you crawled out of.

3. Its politically like San Francisco, but I dont think Canadian folks poop on the streets, do they?

There is an unfounded rumour being investigated now by the new Mayor of San Franciso that the poopers are really passive-aggressive Canadian Tourist and Expats.  As I stated, it's an investigation in progress.

This particular member enjoyed posting how little money he contributed to his relationship in Thailand. Truth or not...who knows. At least his wife was smart enough not to follow and continue working to pay his bills.

And, not just because he moved back to his homeland. That will always be my plan B or C.

Is like going to the temple, it is free, but if you want have good luck in the future, you have to pay this machinces who tells you your future, or contribute in the games they have to put money in some targets, buy their candles and smoke, and gold. 

 

then you maybe have some luck in future. 

 

Money in love and religion is same same, if you want to hit the sweet button by pure luck and in belief.

That's a rather odd comment to make.  So TVF has that much of an influence on your life decisions?  Lordy.

Never been to Moscow Subway, but I do find Rooskie women attractive, not more not less than any other countries, but attractive. 

 

When I first came to Thailand, I see only attractive women, but now? Not really. 

 

I start to see they are same same everywhere else, but what I obsorve now, is the walk in slippers, the scars on their legs, they hair on legs, how swollen their legs are because of unhealthy lifestyle, and how they speak their language in a rude and not polite way. Whery few Thai ladies I find attractive these days compare to my first year here. 

 

Edit note: How most of them can not walk in high heels, but that is universial. Very few women master high heels in a sexy way.
