As many have said... there are other places that offer more and much closer to home. In my case I have to admit that I was so fixed on Thailand that I keep forgetting what we have in Europe. May that be for a Holiday or for Living... 

COVID certainly helped me to put more value also on my home country. I am stuck in Europe now... and it ain't all bad.... 

Same here. "Stuck" in Northern Europe, and I don't want to go back to Thailand. So peaceful here and everything works. After 3 months my family flew here, and are enjoying the hot summer and living among clean, pure nature and eating fresh, pollution/chemical -free food. I hope this Covid never ends so I have a good excuse for the wife not to fly to Thailand again. Unfortunately, that day will come. Hmm, maybe in November then. But then I will sell my condo in Bkk and withdraw what little financial assets I have there. Note to self: Never invest anything in Thailand and never sell the assets in your home country.

Who in their right mind would want to come here on holiday? Seriously?

 

last I checked it was 280 baht for a beer on bangala road in phuket, 320 baht for a hotdog and 4,000 baht for a ride. 
 

in benidorm you get 2 beers for 1 euro 50,  a hot dog for a euro and if you cant get a free ride on the square there is no hope for you anywhere.. not to mention the 70 quid return flights..

 

its a no brainer, Thailand has gone down the pan big time! 

how Benidorm lady wise?

Yeah, imagine. Every time I travel to Thailand with my family I totally abandon the forums of my home country. And when I travel to my home country I totally abandon the Thai forums. That is the way is has to be.. sound logic ????

Mallorca has 28 million tourist arrivals every year....and is a small island only with 1 airport....

 

It's cheap and beautifull there, just look on youtube...

Majorca stunning for sure; great beaches, food, beer & clubs etc........

 

... but it is full of numpty Europeans and there's a distinct lack of Thais.

So Thailand is good for providing you with an exportable Thai wife and family. Everything else sucks.
