I always find it fascinating that people who up roots and return home feel the need to come onto a Thai forum and tell everyone how great it is and how happy they are they made the move. Then go onto slag just about everything about the country of the forum they can’t leave alone. 

 

Im calling BS on every one of them. They are missing the place like <deleted>, bored as hell and need constant reminders of what they are missing. 

 

 

Called it back in October, and here he is back again. Pages and pages of BS

No, I woke up in the middle of the night need a <deleted> .

I couldnt be bothered to go to the toilet and I had an empty 2 liter bottle of diet Coke on the table .

  So I decided to <deleted> in that and empty it in the morning .

I filled that up and it overflowed onto my computer which was on the floor

Lets put it to the test .

State what you consider to be "BS"

Prove or just state your allegations

anyone else find it strange that the op has left after 10 years and is having a great time back in the uk, and then comes back here to blab?

 

thats about the last thing im thinking about when i go back home to the usa

 

i only come back to the board when im in thailand or shortly before coming back...

I do not find it strange whatsoever. After 10 years in Thailand I think it would be unusual to totally ignore Thailand news/topics and this forum if so inclined.

 

When the topic first started the headline caught my eye, similar length of time in Thailand as me ( in to my 11th year of living here.)

Although not seriously considering a return to UK ( have another European country in my sights for a split away from full time living in Thailand} I was interested in how he would adapt and also as to his thoughts on the UK after a long absence.

Entertaining and interesting posts, mostly.

 

Anyway sanemax topic has proved interesting for some, including myself.

 

Just his first post on the topic got 59 combined likes & thanks

Easy enough not to read the topic/posts  if of zero interest.

Apart from all that, how's things, you gonna build a house for the gf?

????

Dont think so .

I dont think that I could live with her , she is way too annoying .

I suggested that I may build a house with an upstairs with an outside staircase so that I could live upstairs on my own and she can live downstairs .

  It would cost about a years worth of my income , may do it .

Told her that I would if she gets pregnant .

Up to her  to get her uterus functioning

Start with your post above. 

It’s ok, save us from seeing your full Coke bottle of <deleted> or your <deleted> stained “L” . Hopefully you have discarded it by now 

I really question your sanity of wanting to post such stuff on a public forum true or not. If you wish to come across as tramp you are succeeding. My sympathy to your Mum.

I was being considerate .

I didnt want to wake everyone else up by turning on the lights and pulling the chain .

As you havent stated anything that has been "BS" , those allegations have been discarded and shown to be incorrect

“Everyone else” I thought you lived alone when you moved out Or with Mum? 

Or you talking about all the others locked away. 
 

As for the rest, maybe in your world “SANE”Max

I was staying at my Mums at the time and there was also a Zimbabwean nurse staying there as well .

  These things are easy to work out for yourself , if you would think about it .

Like . considering that I didnt want to wake anyone else up , I thought anyone would realise that there was someone else staying there..................other wise I wouldnt have to be concerned about waking them up ...............if..............no one else was staying there 

Quite simple really 

[sanemax]

Very fortunate weather wise 

Arrived in the UK when the UK was hotter than Thailand and it gradually got colder .

Arrived back in Thailand when it was colder than the UK...............and its gradually getting hotter .

48 baht in Big C, a pack of 12 is 510 baht = 42.5

I was mistaken .

It wasnt Cheers 6 % beer , it was Tappers 6.5% beer

I had a terrible experience with that Cheers beer .

I went to 7/11 at 10.30 AM waiting for the beer shutters to go up at 11 AM

10.59 went into the 7/11 and told the cashier to get the keys to unlock the fridge door

11.01 and sinking my first can of beer .

To my utter disgust and halfway though the can , I realised that it was 4 % strawberry beer 

Slightly different shade of red can and hard to tell the difference .

I finished off that can and the other three , but that experience put mt off Cheers beer for life and I turned my tipple to Tappers 6.5 % for 53 Baht each 

Anyone know of a cheaper place to get them ? 

[sanemax]

This isnt going to pretty or polite

My passport and ATM card are being kept " safely" in my friends house 

She wont give them back  

No ATM card and I'm broke and homeless 

Just going around there now with no key 

The door will open and I will get my PP and ATM card back

Just eaten five and got one left

No bad effects so far

people who return to visit their home town or country really are stupid

 

they thinks the world has changed beecause theyve been in their life of lies in Thailand being something they couldnt be in their home country

 

Every sex tourist i meet are pilots, ex SAS or special forces, last year i was in a bar and an american started talking, talking <deleted> to be honest, low & behold he was there training Thai fighters in the art of muay Thai, he was being paid 250,000bt per month, what a knob, he was in his late 60's and you could smell the <deleted> as he was talking

I suggest that you stop going to seedy bars , talking to people and then coming on here telling everyone about your discussion and then suggesting thatI am stupid for living the life that you do .

  I dont go to seedy bars and have no desire to talk to liars , if thats how you prefer to spend your evenings, then go ahead , but do refrain from telling me that I am stupid

  The UK has changed very much in the last ten years and if you spend your time in Thailand drinking and whoreing . you can do that cheaper in the UK and more variety

I always liked the black cabs when I'd drive home from the airport, back when I still lived in the UK. Obviously a few things are better in the UK than in Thailand. You don't have to check the air quality in the morning. Driving is fantastically better.  There are no lose dogs. You can have a nice chat with people.

 

What else is better though? Can't think of any others.

 

For all the posting of English breakfast, talk about mars bars and UK supermarkets, the food is vastly better in Thailand. Not even close. The supermarkets in CM offer American, UK, Australian, New Zealand, Spanish, French, German, Swiss products. The variety is superb. Then of course with restaurants, Japanaese, Korean, Thai, German, French, Mexican, Italian, the quality and prices are unmatched. So food is definitely better. 

 

Housing is significantly better in Thailand, you can live in a luxury villa with pool and wooden flooring that would never be available in the UK, and nowhere near at the same price.

 

Weather obviously Thailand wins hands down, even with excess heat at times. Sunshine beats cold and gloomy wet rain.

 

Thailand's society as a whole has vastly better manners than the UK, here is where the UK really falls down. Not a mention of the yob and hooligan culture in the UK. Who can honestly say they've never had an issue with yobs in the UK, spitting on your window, vandalising your car, The chav, deprived UK yoof are a serious problem in the UK, whether they terrorise commuter trains or cars.

 

Subtracting the anti-social dog keeping, driving and garbage burning in Thailand, you just get the feel that this is still a country with proper manners. That has long ago gone out the window in the UK.

 

In terms of beauty of the country, you can post pics of the Lake District all you like, most people in the UK don't live in the Lake district, they live in grimy, poor quality terraced houses. You can equally post pictures of Thai landscapes that are just as attractive as the Lake District. And for every Lake District you have a Harlow or Croydon in the UK. The UK is perhaps one of the most ugly places in Europe, even if it has the odd beauty spot. Whereas Thailand has mountains, the sea, islands, jungle....

 

I really don't see what the UK could have to offer that would make anyone want to go back there. Thailand has more to offer, better in almost everything.
