4MyEgo Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Cheap women, alcohol, food, no tax payable as a non resident from investment back in the old country. Dislikes: Back burning, charcoal fires when neighbours are cooking, mosquitoes, vehicles allowed to drive into schools to pick up kids as its a recipe for disaster, time it takes to fix potholes, 90 reporting and annual paperpile for extension renewal, not to mention the hour plus drive for a 5 minute job to reissue 90 day paper, Thai''s not standing up for themselves, unlicensed kids on bikes, drivers not giving way (don't have too attitude), unlicensed, over the limit, no rego plates, police not knowing how to direct traffic properly, I could go on, but the dislikes are trivial compared to the lifestyle I have here making money, not paying taxes and not having to work for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double negative there mate. And the devastating floods which come with it. Pay her a better salary Totally agree. Oh yes, and guys who ask very silly questions on ThaiVisa. Do you have any positive things to say about Thailand or just nitpick on others? I like the local food, restaurants, sports facilities, the beaches, the mountains and variety of places to stay. Oh and all the Thai ladies wearing the short shorts. I don't like paperwork, police, politicians, dual pricing, and Bangkok traffic 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Saladin Posted August 31, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2018 I have many likes about Thailand which is why I have been living here happily for nearly 5 years. But I never miss an opportunity to air my gripes. Here are 10 that immediately come to mind > 1. The lethargy and incompetence of the traffic police, which is quite obviously the main cause of the appalling number of deaths and injuries on the roads. They make no effort whatsoever to enforce the traffic rules. 2. The dreadful driving and riding habits of the Thais (which is the result of the above). 3. Motorbikes, which are noise and air polluters, as well as being downright dangerous. 4. The disgraceful state of the footpaths/sidewalks, particularly in Nimmanhaemin Road, the favoured area in Chiang Mai for visitors from China. In many countries, local governments and those who are responsible for such a sorry state of affairs would be sued for Criminal Negligence. 5. No rubbish bins are provided for tourists, even in major shopping precincts, and no wheelie bins are provided for the disposal of shop-keepers' garbage. 6. Plagues of rats, as big as cats (due to the above). 7. Parked motorbikes, street vendors, advertising signs, and assorted detritus that obstruct the footpaths. 8. No parking areas are provided for motorbikes, necessitating their parking on the footpaths. 9. Coils of hanging electrical and communication wiring, which are both an eyesore and dangerous 10. The excessive passivity of the Thais. While this makes them lovable, they never seem to complain about the shortcomings of the municipal authorities and, as a consequence, there is no incentive to correct the aforementioned problems. 'This is Thailand' is a common expression that is well past it's 'use by' date. 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussieroaming Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I want to respond to this thread, but at the moment I have got too many dislikes. I need to sit and contemplate some of the positives of Thailand. There are plenty, but some people (me) dwell on the negatives too much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post UncleTouchyFingers Posted August 31, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2018 Biggest dislike is the price of items that are imported and of good quality. I like nice things and unless you like shopping at flea market type establishments everything is grossly overpriced compared to where I come from. Biggest like are the women. If it wasn't for the women, I wouldn't put up with even 1% of what goes on here. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which may be one of several reasons why @NCC1701A has found peace living AWAY from silly farangs with attitudes like yours. BTW, money works GREAT in the West. Just takes more of it is all. Hehe yes, I feel ya, and yes, it works in the west too, but it takes more money than most have. But almost any foreigner can afford a Thai lady. And I still think this is what OP actually meant. He likes Thailand because he can get laid because he can afford so. It has nothing or very little to do with women in the west not being women. I bet unless OP has some fetish for Asian or Thai women (not at all unlikely) he would prefer a hot white girl. But he can't attract or afford one. PS, I know because I am one. Yes, go ahead and laugh at me. At least I'm honest. And I know, I just know I'm not alone. Edited August 31, 2018 by hobz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleTouchyFingers Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Another massive and aggravating dislike is shopping at places like Power Buy. They have all these displays everywhere of items that they have for sale but when you go any try to buy something they dont have stock. Sales people hovering over me while im looking at items and when I finally decide on something they say they dont have. <deleted> why didnt you tell me that when you were watching me look at this chit for half an hour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namatjira Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I like the tropical weather and swimming while it rains in the rainy season, I love the Thai food, I like it that strangers always have a smile for you....and I like the passive nature of the Thai people, not so much aggression....in fact very little ....... the cost of living... dislike the pollution......and squat toilets don’t rate highly. overall it’s a good life here.....
