None of those things can match the happiness of helping someone who can never pay you back for your kindness.

An absolute masterpiece of stating the bleeding obvious!

 

One thing I do take issue with (and yes it is a pet peeve of mine) "Christmas isn't Christmas!". Of course in a country where only a few percent of the people have anything but the haziest of ideas about the feast, of course it is. But I think that the way it is marked, as a secular consumer driven event is at least honest - after all in the West we hide the consumerism

behind images of stables and angels, but how many could, for example, explain the significance of a star on top of the Christmas Tree?

 

But all in all, of course it is different here!

I saw the thread title and thought .............  This smells of Dan.  

 

No surprise to be correct.

Actually this looks like a link to self-promote his own tik tok site.

Thais are chilled and relaxed ......... until they try to kill you, their family, and other road users.

Huh.

If it was a genuine effort to bring value to the forum, there should be commentary that we can debate without having to click his link.

1. I do not, and will not watch tiktok. It is a very toxic platform.

2. He is likely wrong. Thailand is NOT dangerous, most Thai people are delightful to be around, the place is reasonable, and the quality of life is high.

3. For a single man, this place is very close to paradise.

4. Most of the alternatives to Thailand are bleak, unless you are wealthy.

5. Alot of people seem to use misery and fear to attract viewers, whether or not there is any basis in what they are saying.
