July 22, 20232 yr In hierarchical order: a. Thailand Monster Centipede (I hate them in the bathroom, alive. But, they are good to eat.) b. roosters c. barking dogs (the Husky dog is the worst, because I hate whiners) d. scorpions in my underwear after leaving it on the floor e. GuestHouse managers who are Old Toms (worse than the Monster Centipede, or uglier anyway)

Next time I should just complain that the ice cream is great? you were right about Geordies, we also have a sense of humour

Annoyed, most certainly, and I've shared this repeatedly ad nauseum - and here it is again (Reader's Digest abbreviated edition). I got sick of all the annoyances, moved to Mexico vowing never to come back, and six weeks later was back in LOS with a renewed appreciation. Try it - move somewhere else with similar attributes (though THAT will be difficult to find!) and see if you are happier there than here. Yep...a few months in mexico might make thai food look a LOT better and the Mexican mariachi bands can quickly drive you nuts...the mex gals are not my cup of chai...but the beer is cold and the beaches are nice in lot of mexican spots....but overall, i''ll take Thailand any day.
July 24, 20232 yr Farangs that live in LOS and look for things to hate about it. ditto ditto ditto ditto

How simple most people are when discussing or talking about issues they know nothing about. They understand the surface of it, but no dept seen or heard anywhere. Everyone base their experiences on their perspective and experiences only, and not willing to take in, there is more to every issue they think they are a master of. Especially here in thailand where noboy have been in a thais shoes, and how their life have been, or is in the exact moment! Shallowness at its best and ignorant. Not specified especially at you, but you where the last one to reply to this tread in such manner. I have travelled country side in many countries, and Im not going to single out any specific country or place, but Rednecks is a common phenomenon in every country. Anonymous public forums are not the place for reasoned, knowlegible and logical debate. There are good reasons why very many academic and other professional forums are not anonymous.

July 24, 20232 yr 1) Visa rules. Notably limits to visa run by land and onward flight tickets for tourist visas. 2) Inflation. Not specific to Thailand though. 3) Nightlife. The industry is too focused on money and not enough on added value. 4) Pollution. Especially in the north when farmers are burning their land. 5) The "saving face" habit.
July 25, 20232 yr Gormless Farangs (do not associate) Touts and peddlers with baskets entering restaurants pushing wares (ignore) Sketchy Taxi drivers (avoid as much as possible, get out the car) Healthcare ripoffs (fortunately never had to deal with it) Obstructed, uneven, unsafe sidewalks (Still fully ambulatory) So actually nothing bothers me about Thailand really except transport ripoffs, lack of proper pavements. Plus something for the future that everyone has to deal with eventually.
