I haven't particularly thrived here, nor have I succumbed; just treading water, really. But some guys do seem to find their niche. What do you think are the qualities that make a Western guy (or gal) do better here than they would in their home country?

With the Visa clampdowns  , rising prices , the strong Baht , "social" laws being enforced , one could argue that the fan has been hit already

One could but none of the above have really affected me. Guess I've just got a lucky fan.

Not really, after 10 years here you get sort of ossified. It takes a real effort to pick up the sticks and run, once again.

The ones that are not afraid of Gecko's,snakes,and other creepy crawlies,

and can put up with the sounds of the wildlife here,dogs barking,cocks crowing,

frogs calling in rainy season,and the latest one Cicadas.

The ones that can take the heat,without having A/c on 20 C all the time,who are

DIY ,as getting anyone to fix anything is so difficult,and the quality of work,you

might as well do it yourself,those that can accept they are not in LA,London,or Paris

any of those places where common sense is practiced,and can live with lower expectations.

 

regards worgeordie

Yep being a little hard of hearing does carry certain benefits, raised on a farm where everything except electric was DIY, won't miss London traffic, enjoy the heat - looking good for me ????

9 minutes? I can make mine last for 90. I believe in getting value for money.

Keeping 80% of one's assets in their home country does help. Plus jai yenn yenn when dealing with officialdom.
