far away from the terrible western female attitude.

If this was a thread about why we don't like where we came from that would be top of my list.

Leaving something to the imagination is always a winner, but I'll take an attractive woman however she comes. That doesn't include fat burds or grannys.

Alas, I'll never have the opportunity to buy her a drink!

That photo proves that they ain't all fatties now.

You mean you don't like fat, loud, slobby, tattooed women, with pink hair and thick rimmed glasses, who hate men? You'd be denounced as a misogynist and shunned for disgraceful behaviour like that back home.

Moved here about three years ago to Bangkok.  After I retired I wanted to experience living overseas. 
The only positive thing I can say.  Healthcare was good.  But I have very good insurance from my previous job in the states. 
Other than that it has become more annoying and inconvenient to live here.  I never adjusted.  Never found the majority of the locals friendly. Except if they wanted something of course. So moving back to the states in about two weeks. 

[bbbbooboo]

hmmmmm...... i"m here because of the temples ?

[yankyoakum]

Made a promise to wife, we will end our days here, also Thailand has improved whole lot in the last 50 years and USA has turned into a rats nest of Maga loving racists... not the top of the heap they think they are...

 

[mamypoko]

I'm that guy that swore if so and so got elected I'd moving abroad. And...

 

...if so and so gets elected next time, I'll move back.

[JimTripper]

People hate this answer, but it’s cheap compared to many other countries. Saving money to end up in a nicer country eventually.

 

It’s not the sole reason, but it’s primary. Without it I would not be here.

There was a U-turn on the way to the North Pole...

You can call me the "Tropical Santa" now.

Yup, I do speak Thai and I read it.

 

Lived up in the north in a rural village for ages. 

 

I also work here.

 

 

Hell, I even studied a masters here with Thais at university for a couple of years.

 

 

I actually really loved Thai culture when I was new to the country, until I got to know the culture better, ????

 

 

It's not my cup of tea; I am a farang.

Thailand life has a way of destroying all the lies that contemporary western 'society' is built upon. By lies, i mean the foolish programming we carry inside our minds. 

 

In one year living in Thailand -- I've learned more about human nature, history & religion, propaganda, men & women, my home culture, myself, than I learned from decades of being based in the west. It has made me clear-sighted. 

 

As you've alluded, Thailand has its own brand of BS -- but that's not actually a criticism, because every culture does. 

 

In summary, Thailand is an Education. It forces me to see new angles on everything.

 

Even all the farang guys in SE Asia who are horrendously rude to single, middle aged women like me, who are here for the their own reasons and are not bothering anyone else -- I'm no longer bothered by their rudeness... They are simply projecting their own stuff onto me -- it says more about them than me ♥️.

 

I'll leave Thailand as soon as the negatives outweigh the positives. Hasn't happened yet ✨.

[Thingamabob]

Good food, friendly people, warm weather.

[Tropposurfer]

Don't tell anyone but I am a retired international spy (00 classification), and an ex SAS war hero hiding out lol ????????????

Agree.

 

How could the majority of them possibly be friendly? The majority are TAUGHT, FAMILY-PRESSURED and PEER-PRESSURED to hate us. Even their legal system treats us like dirt. It's institutionalised.

she had sex with him because they shared the same views on trump.

Retirement.  I am beginning to think it was a mistake. Other places are more welcoming.

I guess you are in Pattaya. I'm amazed the guys that retire there and are surprised they are not welcome in the world's largest brothel.

sorry for sounding patronizing, but your attitude needs some work. 

they don't all hate all farangs. come on.

I came here because Latin America is too far/laborious/expensive to fly to ,from my neck of the woods (S.E Europe)

That's why I carefully specified 'majority'. Twice.

 

Sorry to sound patronising.

I think that majority of those that settle in Pattaya are well aware it's one huge brothel.

 

You certainly don't go there for the pristine beaches, so cheap sex, boys or girls, your choice i would suggest is the driving factor

Without denying the above, I think many western guys settle in Pattaya because they are just more comfortable being around a large bunch of fellow farangs.

It would also be naive to think that you'd be any more welcome in a backwater yokel village, especially since the trollops in Pattaya are from those places. They are really not different in their mentality.

 

In fact, I have noticed when village girls go to start their noble careers in Pattaya and other suchlike cosmopolitan milieus, they often come back to the village a very different individual: more educated and worldly.

 

I may be pushing it a bit, but I'd say farang are more welcome in Pattaya than Nakorn Nowhere.
