The good news for me is that I am surrounded by Thai people.

For some others the increasing exodus of Farang residents can only be a plus.

I predict a large HGV will run into the back of me at stop lights or suddenly veer across the carriageway to hit me head on. How shall I avoid that …?

One bit of good news about Thailand is that with the possible exception of the deep South - Sharia Law does not apply, which is becoming a rare situation.

 

And if you must have religion - the Thai version of Buddhism is generally harmless and temple visits can be fun and fascinating.

So don't ever come here again please.

Maybe you should start to learn reading, the headlines says what is the GOOD NEWS. Well, there is no news at all so it's none.

Furthermore I am wondering from where you have the guts to tell me not to come to Thailand anymore, it's not to you to order, instruct or tell me otherwise not to come. Very rude, unpolite and uncivilized so mind your own business.

The good news is that with all the chemical pesticides found in the wonderful Thai fruits and vegetables that you ingest, you will never be eaten by bugs.  

Have you read on a food tin label what we consume in the west? Overprocessed flavoured muck IMO, but I've lived a very long time on it. I doubt food in Thailand is worse for me. I certainly never suffered for it.

IMO the best news about Thailand is that it's not PC or woke ( yet ). Also, the girls are feminine, which seems to be something western females have apparently abandoned.

Coconuts

Durian

Mangosteen

Longan

Mangoes

 

High quality

 

Better than west.

 

 

 

 

And all in my garden, plus; wild spinach, lemons, bananas, ginger, lemon grass, chillies, Krapow and other herbs that just appear.

Does anyone know what these fruits are called ? taste a bit like cherries, very sweet with a stone inside, eat one, and after even chillies taste sweet, and beer like lemonade.

Well due to the state of the economy, generally speaking restaurants are less crowded and anything having to do with "hospitality" is turned up a notch or two to say the least.

Don't you see the "big dark cloud over it" that many others are seeing?   

Too many naysayers, unhappy with their own lives, will throw that shade at others every chance they get. Maybe I'm not smart enough to feel unhappy, and I'm glad that's where I'm at. ????

Deleted happens, and something is out of range no matter where you are, but still more likely to happen in countries like Thailand. 
 

I always pay attention what is coming. Ehind me after stopped for red light, and also when riding a motorbike if first make sure  Im not on the middle line and also go to the front through the line, not leaving my back open. 
 

However, I will still claim there is a pattern and a quote predictable patter of deleted driving here in Thailand, how they do shortcuts on behalf the safety of themselves and others. Also how little or short notice they give when they change line without thinking of whats coming from behind. 
 

In Budda they trust

No need to be "here", the news from all over the world can be found on a system called internet. You should try it.
