Miserable Expats Who Can’t Stop Complaining About Thailand but Never Leave
I think thats the whole point of being balanced and normal... the essence of reasonable. It's about having the ability to observe and discuss the negative, the positive, the extremes, and everything in between - without resorting to sweeping generalisations. In short: voice your concerns when something isn’t right, give credit where it’s due, and approach every topic with a willingness to explore all facets openly and without bias. Nothing is perfect - nor should we expect it to be. But the sort of fool who trots out "go home if you don’t like it" comment just because someone complains about, say, a motorcyclist cutting them off - well, that’s simply idiotic. They fundamentally misunderstand the concept of judging things on a case-by-case basis. That said, let’s also acknowledge that some people leap at any opportunity to post something negative about foreigners in general, or to target specific nationalities. And yes, as the original post points out, there are those who criticise Thais with no sense of balance or nuance. We see the full spectrum of commentators: from the unhinged and delusional, peddling their biases without the slightest self-awareness, to those capable of thoughtful, informed discussion rooted in personal experience - some of it positive, some negative, as one would expect - thats most people on here I think - but we only hear the loudest voices, on the fringes of extreme opinion... thats why I end up arguing with a lot of them... to try and balance out their extreme bias.- 1
