Some steps to analyze issues:

Is it important to me?

Can I change it?

...

 

If it's not important then ignore it.

If you can't change it, then accept it.

If it is important and if you can change it, then think about how and do it. 

 

It's stupid to worry about things which are not important and which we can't change.

The good far out weighs the bad.

But, negative people will always focus on the negative.  Glad I am not that.

Unfortunately Utopia is full to the brim not taking anymore people and we got stuck outside having to deal with what it is now.

A variation of this thread almost every week. I alway give the same answer

In life you always find what you look for.  

Thailand like every country has it's negatives and positive. Fortunately for me by far, the positives outweigh the negatives. 

Politics:    nothing to do with me, since I have no skin in the game

Stupid Visas:    that why i always apply for a smart one.

Stupid Music and Movies:    same as above. 

Terrible drivers, : Almost 20 years coming and living in Thailand , I never had a worst problem that I have back home or other countries I visit. 

 

Life is an illusion the color of which depends on the color glasses you wear. If you don't like what you see, change your glasses.

A couple of years ago, I was considering leaving. Tens of thousands of expats have already left. There is ALOT of nonsense here. 

 

But, we did look around. Spent some time traveling and looking for alternatives. Couldn't find any that made sense, which we liked more than here. Alot of other places are worse, and if we were wealthy, we would have more options. But, many spots have become frightfully expensive. Thailand is still reasonable. And we were happy to return.

 

Many of us have very good lives here. Other than moaning on this forum, I spend most of the time with my head buried as deep in the sand, as I can, trying hard to ignore the waves of nonsense.

... don't really involve me, not different than when I lived in USA, as I kind of ignore it ... just the entertainment factor is good

 

Stupid visas

... find visas very easy, as long as people aren't skint

 

Stupid movies and music

... like anywhere, that's an elective to watch or listen to, TIT

 

Terrible drivers

... most are quite capable, and I really don't have a problem with them.  That those on scooters tend to kill themselves, that their problem.
