I gave it a chance recently and returned to Thailand after my divorce. There is literally nothing that can keep me away and since being a few years from turning 50 I was even idiot enough to consider buying 5 year elite visa. 

 

But really.... I can take anything in Thailand, but I can not take pollution. Always.... Every single day in the red. Non f stop. Come on! 

 

I like big cities and moving anywhere else in Thailand is not an option. 

 

Goodbye. It was a fun 6 years here and I'll miss it aot. 

 

bye dude ^^

May we hope to have a on the ground contact in you ,about all Vietnam … just in case for us , in case we would consider running away from the Thai ever restricting rules ….

Would make it a perfect hand guide 

 

Good luck 

I'll miss your stories. Perhaps you can post an update in the future comparing Thai to Vietnamese women ????. 

Pollution now in Bangkok almost 200

 

Lovely place

Was just about to plan my next visit for January to March when I checked BKK air quality...bad...and thought about the ever worsening nonsense/harassment/hassle from immigration...and had second thoughts but wondered where else to go....and then I found it in this thread....Da Nang...cant wait...goodbye Thailand.

A while ago one poster put it this way. You have to be mentally ill to stay in a place that will make you sick. That really got me thinking. Some of these expats even bring their children here.... so they can live a dream, I guess.

 

Like I said.... I absolutely love Bangkok. I am willing to put up with anything. But not this.
